Meal delivery in Kaitaia, made simple

Life in Kaitaia runs at its own pace. Long drives down State Highway 1, work that follows the seasons, and weeks where the weather rearranges your plans. Premade is built for the days you still want to eat well, but standing over a hot stove isn't going to happen.

Meals arrive cooked fresh that week, chilled and portioned so the week stays steady. Real ingredients, no freezer-meal compromises, no overthinking dinner. Stock the fridge once and you've got a back-up for the days that get long.

Delivery is NZ-wide every Wednesday and Friday. Meals arrive chilled and ready to refrigerate.

Cooked fresh daily, delivered chilled to Kaitaia

Freshness is the point. Each meal is cooked daily in our Invercargill kitchen, packed for chilled delivery, and on the road so it reaches Kaitaia ready for the week ahead. Move it from the cooler bag to the fridge and you're sorted.

Each meal stays good in the fridge for 4 days from delivery, or up to 3 months in the freezer. The trick most regulars use: freeze a couple on the day they arrive and shift them to the fridge the night before you want them. The rest of the box covers the next four days without a second thought.

Our meals are:

  • Cooked fresh weekly (not a “freezer meal” experience)

  • Delivered chilled to help maintain freshness

  • Portion-controlled so your week stays easy and consistent

  • Made with real ingredients you can feel good about

Whether you want a fridge stocked with quick lunches, easy dinners, or just a reliable backup plan, Premade helps you stay sorted.

Meals for every kind of week

Premade is for anyone who wants reliable food without the prep. Some weeks you've got time to cook; other weeks the stove never gets a look-in. Either way, having genuinely good meals on hand changes the rhythm of your week.

In the Far North, customers tend to order Premade for long workdays where takeaway isn't a five-minute option, the school-and-work juggle, shift patterns that don't fit standard mealtimes, and the times you just want one less thing to think about. You don't need to wait for a fresh start on Monday. Just stock food you can actually rely on.

This isn't about replacing your cooking. Some weeks you'll fire up the kitchen and Premade fills the gaps. Other weeks the chilled box does most of the work. Either way, the back-up is in the fridge when the day runs long, the weather rearranges your week, or the supermarket trip just isn't happening.

Explore the menu

Browse meals by type (Chicken, Beef, Lamb, Vegetarian) or by goal (High Protein, Low Carb, Vegetarian). We rotate seasonal specials, and the Best Sellers list is a fair starting point if you're not sure where to begin.

The menu shifts each cycle, so there's room to find your favourites and try something new in the same order. Most customers settle into 6 to 12 meals per week, swapping flavours in and out as the menu rolls over. Stock the fridge once and you've got dinner sorted for the rest of the week.

Order by 11:59pm Monday for Wednesday delivery, or 11:59pm Wednesday for Friday delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver to Kaitaia?

Yes, every Wednesday and Friday for non-rural addresses. Far North coverage runs on the same NZ-wide chilled network as the rest of the country. The address validator at checkout confirms whether your specific address qualifies.

Which areas around Kaitaia are covered?

Non-rural Kaitaia and surrounding Far North addresses are covered. Many properties in the Far North are classified as rural and may fall outside the chilled-delivery zone. The address validator at checkout confirms your address in seconds.

What if my address is classified as rural?

At this stage, chilled meals can't be delivered to rural addresses. The address validator at checkout flags anything rural. If your address sits on the borderline, get in touch and we'll see what we can do.

Where are the meals cooked before they reach me?

Every meal is cooked fresh in our Invercargill kitchen using locally sourced ingredients, then chilled and dispatched on the NZ-wide courier network. Meals leave the kitchen ahead of the standard schedule so they arrive chilled in the Far North.

How long do meals stay fresh after delivery?

4 days in the fridge from the delivery day, or up to 3 months in the freezer. The trick most regulars use: freeze a couple on the day they arrive, move them to the fridge the night before they're needed, and eat the rest across the next four days.

Are the meals frozen before delivery?

No. Meals are cooked fresh and delivered chilled, never frozen before they reach you. If you want to extend the shelf life past 4 days, you can move meals to your freezer for up to 3 months on delivery day.

How much is delivery?

Calculated at checkout based on your address. Free shipping on orders over $120.

What types of meals are on the menu?

The menu rotates each cycle and covers four protein types (Chicken, Beef, Lamb, Vegetarian) and three nutritional goals (High Protein, Low Carb, Vegetarian). Customers in Kaitaia tend to start with Best Sellers, then mix in seasonal specials. Most regulars sit in the 6 to 12 meals per week range.

How are the meals packaged when they arrive?

Meals are sealed in portion-sized trays, packed in an insulated chilled box with ice packs to keep them at refrigeration temperature in transit. Trays go straight into your fridge on arrival. Tracking activates as soon as the courier picks the box up from our Invercargill kitchen.

What's the difference between Premade meals and supermarket ready meals?

Cooked fresh daily in small batches by chefs, never frozen before delivery, with real ingredients and allergens listed per meal. Compared to typical supermarket ready meals, the texture is closer to home cooking and the menu rotates regularly so you're not stuck with the same six options.

Does Premade meal delivery service cover Kaitaia?

Yes. Premade delivers chilled, ready-made meals to Kaitaia every Wednesday and Friday on the NZ-wide network. Order by 11:59pm Monday for Wednesday delivery or 11:59pm Wednesday for Friday delivery. The address validator at checkout confirms whether your specific address qualifies.

Where do the ingredients come from?

Ingredients are sourced locally where seasonally available. The kitchen is in Invercargill, which means the South Island has a short ingredient-supply chain; North Island ingredients flow through the same network. Each meal lists its ingredients on the product page.
