How do Drop Off Dinners work?We write the final menu each week, from available local produce, and with regard to your own groups needs. In the sample menu you refer, both proteins are served with the range of sides. The food is delivered on platters and ready to share, with hot things delivered in oven proof glass dishes, and packed inside our black insulated boxes. If you keep the lid closed, the mains will stay perfectly hot for up to 3 hours, so there is no rush or fuss about the whole thing. All you need do is return our cleaned platter the following day or as arranged.
