Food is amazing
Premade has been unreal for staying on track with my training. Good portion sizes, high protein, and I don’t have to think about cooking after a long day. Makes hitting macros so much easier without sacrificing taste.

It's so easy!
I’ve tried a few meal services before, and this is easily the best value I’ve found. Portions are solid, flavours are on point, and it’s way easier than making food from scratch. Super convenient having everything ready to go.

Game changer
These have been a game changer. With kids and work, it’s hard to find time to cook every night, and Premade meals has made things so easy. My weeks basically sorted now and we're eating nutritious food!

10 out of 10 Meals
Didn’t expect them to be this good to be honest. Meals are filling, taste great, and it’s saved me a heap of time during the week. Way easier than trying to plan and cook every night.

Tastes homemade
Genuinely can't believe these are pre-made. The Beef Bolognese tastes like something I'd cook on a Sunday afternoon. Kids didn't even question it.

Finally, real food
Sick of buying takeaway food for lunch. The Lamb Korma is unreal, actual chunks of lamb and plenty of sauce. Ordering weekly now.

Fresh Ready Made Meals, Cooked Weekly in the Deep South

Premade is a New Zealand meal delivery service that cooks fresh meals each week in our Invercargill kitchen and ships them chilled, not frozen, across the country. Every dish is built around lean proteins, complex carbohydrates and seasonal vegetables, with a rotating weekly menu so you don't end up eating the same Thai green curry three times in a row. Meals are sealed in microwave-safe trays and stay fresh in the fridge for up to seven days from delivery, which means you can stock the week without losing texture or flavour. Pricing sits between $14.99 and $16.99 per meal, with no lock-in and the option to order one box or a recurring delivery.

Why Customers Choose Premade

  • Cooked fresh weekly and delivered chilled, so meals taste closer to a home-cooked dinner than to a frozen ready meal
  • Menu spans high protein, low carb, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free, with shared bases like basmati rice, hokkien noodles or cauliflower rice for variety
  • Meals are portioned for adult appetites with macros suited to active lifestyles, weight management or simply eating better during a busy week
  • Order without a subscription, pause anytime, or set up a recurring delivery if you want it on autopilot
  • Local sourcing where possible, with NZ-grown vegetables and meat from established South Island suppliers

How to Pick the Right Meals for Your Week

Start with what you actually want to eat, not the diet category. If you train regularly, the high protein meals (Grilled Chicken with Basmati Rice, Roast Beef with Vegetables) deliver 30g or more of protein per serve. If you're cutting carbs, our low carb meal delivery options swap rice for cauliflower rice in dishes like Satay Chicken or Lamb Korma. If you eat plant-based, the vegan meal delivery range includes Honey Soy Tofu with Hokkien Noodles, Chickpea Korma and Penne Bolognese with Lentils for a fully meat-free week. Anyone juggling allergies should filter by gluten-free meals or dairy-free first, then narrow by protein. Most customers find a rotation of six to eight favourite dishes, with a few new picks each week.

Delivery, Storage and Getting Started

Orders cut off Sunday evening for delivery the following week, with most boxes arriving Tuesday or Wednesday depending on region. South Island deliveries usually land within 24 hours of dispatch; North Island and rural addresses can take up to 48. Each box ships in an insulated carton with reusable ice packs, so if you're not home at delivery, the meals stay below 4 degrees Celsius for around six hours. Once the box lands, transfer trays to the fridge and stack them in the order you plan to eat them, with longer shelf-life meals on the bottom and fresher dishes on top. First-time orders include a $20 discount, and you can pause, skip or cancel a recurring delivery from your account at any point.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are meals delivered across NZ?
Orders are couriered overnight in insulated boxes with reusable ice packs that keep food below 4 degrees Celsius. North Island and South Island addresses receive deliveries within one business day of dispatch. You'll get a tracking link by email once the box leaves our kitchen, so you can plan to be home or arrange a safe drop-off.
Are the meals frozen or chilled?
Chilled, never frozen. Every meal is cooked, sealed and shipped within the same week, so you reheat from refrigerated instead of thawing from frozen. The chilled supply chain protects texture, especially in lean proteins and vegetables that frozen ready meals can dry out during the freeze-thaw cycle. Trays still freeze well at home if you want to extend shelf life past seven days.
How long do the meals last in the fridge?
Up to seven days from delivery, with the use-by date printed on each tray. The seven-day window assumes trays stay sealed and refrigerated below 4 degrees Celsius. Once opened, eat within 24 hours. Meals can also be frozen at home before the use-by date if you want to extend storage by a few weeks, though texture in pasta-based dishes can soften slightly after freezing.
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. Filter the menu by high protein, low carb, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan or vegetarian, then narrow further by protein or cuisine. Allergens are listed on every product page including milk, egg, soy, peanut, tree nut, gluten and sesame. We are not a fully certified allergen-free kitchen, so anyone with severe allergies should review the allergen statement and contact us before ordering.
How much does each meal cost?
Single meals are priced between $14.99 and $16.99 depending on the recipe, with higher-protein and beef dishes at the upper end of the range. Bundles and recurring orders bring the per-meal cost down further, and first-time orders include a $20 discount. There's no subscription fee or membership cost on top of the meal price, and shipping is calculated separately based on delivery region.
Can I order without a subscription?
Yes. One-off boxes are available alongside recurring plans, with no minimum order and no commitment beyond the box you're ordering. You can also start with a recurring delivery and pause, skip or cancel at any point from your account dashboard. Most customers begin with a one-off box to test the menu before switching to a weekly or fortnightly plan.
Where do you source ingredients?
Meals are made in our Invercargill kitchen using NZ-grown produce wherever the season allows. Beef, lamb and chicken are sourced from established South Island suppliers, with seasonal fluctuation in vegetable origin depending on what's available locally. Imported ingredients are limited to specialty items like basmati rice, hokkien noodles and Thai curry pastes, sourced from established food-service suppliers with traceable origins.
