Cooked fresh daily, delivered chilled to Kerikeri

Freshness is the whole point. Each meal is prepared in our Invercargill kitchen, packed cold, and sent north so it lands in Kerikeri ready for the week. Move it from the cooler bag straight into the fridge and you're sorted.

Each meal keeps for 4 days in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer. The trick most people use: freeze a couple on delivery day and pull one out the night before, so it's thawed and ready when you are. The rest carries you through the next four days.

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 wanting good food on hand without the cooking. Some weeks you have the time; some weeks you don't. Having reliable meals waiting takes the friction out of the weeks that get away from you.

Up here, customers commonly order Premade for orchard-busy weeks, summer guests staying over, school holidays where the day job doesn't slow down, and the kind of midweek dinners that would otherwise be cereal. You don't need to be organised. You just need food that's already there.

The way most regulars use it: a few cooked-from-scratch meals during the week, plus Premade for the gaps. The fridge stays stocked, the lunch rush gets easier, and the days the orchard or the diary runs over don't end with a 9 PM toastie. Works whether it's just the two of you or a household feeding kids before sport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver to Kerikeri?

Yes, every Wednesday and Friday for non-rural addresses. The Bay of Islands sits on the standard NZ-wide chilled-delivery network. Use the address validator at checkout to confirm your address.

Which areas around Kerikeri are covered?

Most non-rural addresses around Kerikeri and the central Bay of Islands are covered. Lifestyle blocks and outlying rural addresses may fall outside the chilled-delivery zone. The address validator at checkout flags this in seconds.

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 Northland.

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 will flag any rural delivery. If your address is borderline, contact us and we'll see what we can do.

What's the minimum order?

6 meals per order. No long commitment required. Order as a one-off any time, or set up weekly auto-delivery so meals arrive each week without having to reorder.

How fresh are the meals when they arrive?

Meals are cooked the day before they're packed and sent on the courier network. They've never been frozen, and they arrive chilled, ready to refrigerate immediately. The 4-day fridge clock starts on delivery day.

How do I reheat the meals?

Microwave: remove sleeve, pierce film, 3 minutes on high, peel back and stir, 1 more minute, sit 1 minute, eat. Oven: 180°C, remove film, cover with foil, 12 to 15 minutes until piping hot. Heating instructions are also on each meal label.

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 Kerikeri 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 Kerikeri?

Yes. Premade delivers chilled, ready-made meals to Kerikeri 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.
