Accepted Answer

When do deliveries occur?

Accepted Answer

Our meals are delivered in slots on either Sunday (within M25) or Tuesday (rest of UK) to your home for the following week. This will be done by our logistics provider and you should receive a text message with an approximate delivery slot. If you are not home it will be left in a safe location for you to collect. Do not worry as our chilled packaging systems will allow our meals to remain fresh for up to 48 hours in transit.

Question 8

What happens if my chilled meals are delivered warm?

Accepted Answer

All chilled deliveries are delivered with next day delivery and should arrive chilled. If in the instance your meals do not arrive chilled please DO NOT consume them and let us know immediately so that we can rectify the issue as soon as we can. We will get a new order despatched right away or issue you a refund if this option is not suitable for you.

Question 9

Can your meals be enjoyed cold?

Accepted Answer

Our meals are safe to eat cold but we recommend heating certain meals (standard and premium) in the microwave for your children.

Question 10

How do I safely prepare your meals?

Accepted Answer

Each individual meal comes in a vacuum bag and a brown compostable tray. To heat first cut the vacuum packaging open, then remove any non-microwaveable components (e.g. fruit, crisps or snacks).   Once complete, slide the tray back into the plastic sleeve and microwave for 1.5 minutes. If meals are for school we recommend putting this into a high-quality thermos for the day (recommended ones are available in our shop).   Our trays are not ovenable - so if you would like to heat up our meals using an oven please transfer the contents to a oven-safe tray beforehand.

Question 11

What if my meals are for nursery or school?

Accepted Answer

We recommend purchasing a high-quality thermos for your children first (recommendations are available in our shop).   In the morning fill your thermos with warm water while preparing any one of our meals. Once ready, empty the thermos and fill with our hot food, then seal immediately.   A good quality thermos can keep our food warm for up to 5 hours.

Question 12

Do you do fresh, hot meals for large groups in nurseries, schools and more?"

Accepted Answer

Yes we do! However, due to the complexity of the order we request that you email support@littlelunchbox.co.uk with your name, business address and product inquiry and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Question 13

What age range are your snacks and meals suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Our meals are safe for children above the age of 3 and extend all the way to kids in Secondary school. In fact, even adults can enjoy our foods too if they wish.

Question 14

Is your packaging recyclable?

Accepted Answer

All of our packaging is recyclable for both our meals and snack boxes except for our inner foil liners and ice packs. The contents of each ice pack is safe to touch and can be disposed off down any regular kitchen sink. The ice packs and foil liners can should only be thrown in household waste.   We are working hard to introduce new packaging that can be 100% recycled.

Question 15

How do I store your products?

Accepted Answer

Our meals should be refrigerated immediately upon delivery with a shelf life of 7+ days.   Our snacks can be stored at room temperature for a duration of 2-4 weeks.   We always recommend following the Use By date on each of our products.

Question 16

How long can your products be stored for?

Accepted Answer

All of our products are clearly labelled with a Use By Date which should be followed. As a result of our packaging our meals can remain fresh for more than a week in the fridge, while our snacks can last up to one month if stored in a dry, cool place.

Question 17

Can I freeze your meals?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend freezing any snacks or meals (some meals do not re-heat as well). The meal trays are freezer safe, so it is possible to freeze and reheat meals if you are comfortable with doing so independently (no instructions are provided for this).

Question 18

How will your meals remain fresh after a few days?

Accepted Answer

We have done extensive research to get the best possible packaging to maintain product quaility and taste. We remove oxygen from our meals which allows it to stay fresh for more than 7 days in a chilled environment. We always recommend following the Use By date on all of our chilled meal products.

Question 19

Do you cater for allergies?

Accepted Answer

All of our products are clearly labelled with any of the 14 major allergens present. Our kitchen is also completely peanut free. Our meals however are not prepared in a nut-free kitchen.
