Home Delivery Lunch has served the public for over 10 years receiving the Best Home Delivery Service Torbay Award from GHP Social Care in 2021. All the meals are prepared on site using quality produce and provide excellent value for money. There are 4 menus which rotate weekly and offer 2 choices of starter, main course and dessert. The customer can opt for 2 or 3 courses, 2 courses cost £8.00 per day, 3 courses £8.50 per day. Home Delivery Lunch has grown considerably over the past 10 years and now provides 80-100 lunches a day, 7 days a week. There is huge potential to expand on what the business currently offers to include breakfasts and dinners. There is further potential to increase trade via social media and providing a website ordering service.
