What makes Breda Murphy’s ready meals special?
Breda has spent decades perfecting her recipes and so far she has 7 Great Taste Awards on some of her recipes. The recipes are the same Breda used to serve in her restaurant so our meals truly are a taste of restaurant quality at home.
Our meals are entirely made by hand in small batches in our Ribble Valley kitchen. We then flash-freeze them, which locks in the nutrients and freshness. Each meal is then packed by hand ready to be enjoyed by you at home.
Where do you deliver to?
Thanks to our great partner couriers, we are able to deliver our prepared meals almost anywhere in the UK. Your order will arrive frozen, in a fully kerbside recyclable insulated paper bag that has been designed with sustainability in mind.
How many people are the ready meals suitable for?
Whether you’re looking to feed one person, two people, or the entire family, we’ve got a box to suit you.
Within the Singles Box, you will find three single-portion meals, along with three single-portion desserts, and a loaf cake to top it off.
Inside the Doubles Box, you will find four double-portion meals, two double-portion desserts, and the signature loaf cake of your choosing.
There is also a Mixed Box available. This would be best suited for a family or catering for many. It includes three single-portion meals, three double-portion meals, two single-portion desserts, two double-portion desserts, and of course a loaf cake too.
Craving more? You can add on a tray of chocolatey gooey brownies to each of the boxes.
