Food Safety Tips

We would like to make a few suggestions to ensure that you enjoy your meal and avoid any danger of food poisoning:

  • Your meal is best eaten as soon as it is delivered.
  • If this is not possible, or not convenient, you can keep it warm for up to 1 hour in a pre-headed oven on a low heat - gas mark 1/4, electric 100F / 50C.
  • A cold sweet may be stored in a refrigerator but, must be eaten within a few hours.
  • Never reheat a meal once it has been allowed to cool down.
