Cooked fresh daily, delivered chilled to Wanaka

Freshness is the whole reason this works. Meals are cooked daily in our Invercargill kitchen, packed for chilled delivery, and on the road so they reach Wanaka ready to refrigerate. Pop them straight in the fridge on arrival and reheat when you're ready.

Once your box is here, you've got 4 days of fridge life on each meal, or up to 3 months in the freezer. Most people freeze a couple on delivery day and move them to the fridge the night before. The rest of the box gets eaten across the week.

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 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.

Wanaka customers commonly order Premade for hospitality shift work in winter and summer, family weeks with kids and sport, weekends where the lake or the mountains take priority, and weeknights where dinner needs to be ready before the next early start. You don't need to wait for a fresh start on Monday. Just stock food you can rely on.

The way most regulars use it: cook from scratch when there's time, and have Premade ready for the days when there isn't. It works whether you're feeding one person or a household. The meals are real food, the portions are sensible, and the menu rotates so you're not eating the same thing every week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver to Wanaka?

Yes, every Wednesday and Friday. Wanaka sits on the standard NZ-wide chilled network. Use the address validator at checkout to confirm your specific address.

Which areas around Wanaka are covered?

Most non-rural addresses across central Wanaka and Albert Town are covered. The address validator at checkout flags anything classified as rural.

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. Most regulars freeze a couple on delivery day and move them to the fridge the night before they're needed.

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.

What's the minimum order?

6 meals per order. There's no required commitment beyond that. Order as a one-off any time, or set up weekly auto-delivery so meals arrive each week without having to reorder.

Can I set up weekly meal deliveries?

Yes. Subscribe to weekly auto-delivery and meals arrive each week without you having to reorder. Pause, skip, or cancel any time.

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 Wanaka 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 Wanaka?

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