What we do

Every meal that leaves our Castle Hill kitchen is made from scratch. Real ingredients, proper cooking: the same way you'd do it at home, if you had the time.

Our ready made meals are cooked fresh, frozen immediately to lock in flavour, and delivered to your door across NSW, VIC and ACT. You heat, you serve, and the question of what's for dinner is answered. No subscription. No lock-in. Order what you need, when you need it.

Looking to cater an event rather than feed your household? We cater across Sydney - from corporate lunches to family celebrations to funerals.

Something for everyone at the table

More than a third of our menu is gluten free, or has a gluten free option. We also cater for dairy free, vegetarian, and nut free - all made in the same kitchen, with care taken on each. If you're feeding a household with mixed dietary needs, it's worth browsing the gluten free and vegetarian collections before ordering.

Check individual product pages for full allergen information. Our kitchen handles all major allergens.

We're a social enterprise

Every order you place helps fund something real. Dinner on the Table gifts meals each month to families living with disability. Because good food is one of the most practical ways to care for people who are doing it tough. When you buy a lasagne for a Wednesday night, that's what you're also doing.

How delivery works

Orders are delivered by refrigerated courier, so your food arrives cold and in good condition. The night before your delivery, you'll receive a text with tracking information - and a second text when it's been delivered. To get these notifications, make sure you include a mobile number when you order.

Ordering

Do you have gift vouchers?

We do! We'd love to cook for your friends and family. You can purchase a gift card here.

Gift cards can be used flexibly: you can use more than one card in a single transaction and any remaining balance will stay on the card until next time.

I forgot something! Can I add it to my order?

We completely get it, we leave things behind too! Send us an email and let us know what you'd like to add. As long as your order hasn't been transferred to our courier partner, you can place your a second order (selecting pickup at the checkout) and we can add it to your box for you.

What if I want to speak to someone?

We love to chat! Contact us with any questions, concerns, or feedback. Or you can reach us by phone on 0403 688 486.

Can I pick up my order?

We'd love to see you, and you can certainly collect your order from us in Castle Hill.

Pickup is between 8am-3.30pm Monday-Friday, or by appointment.

Just select pickup when you get to the checkout. We'll send you an email when your order is packed and ready for you (usually within 24 hours).

Delivery

What are your delivery fees?

We deliver to most of NSW, ACT & VIC.

Delivery fees are $18 for Sydney metro & $21 for regional & interstate areas.

Delivery is free on orders over $220.

How does delivery work?

Once your order is placed, you will receive a confirmation email letting you know that we have received your order. You'll then receive a second email when we have packed & transferred your order to our courier partner.

Your box is delivered by refrigerated courier. The night before your order is due for delivery, our courier will send you a text with your tracking information. You'll receive a second text when your box is delivered.

If you have not provided a mobile phone number with your order, you will not receive these notifications.

Can I choose my delivery day?

Yes! When you get to the cart, use the drop down menu to choose the day and time slot (day or overnight delivery) that best suits you.

Please select carefully. Orders delivered overnight require that there is somewhere safe to leave them. Drivers will often not enter a property overnight if there is no good, visible access. They will not buzz a unit block for access for overnight deliveries.

We will make every effort to ensure your order is delivered on the day you select, but will not provide compensation if deliveries are delayed.

Dinner on the Table is not responsible for goods that are stolen after delivery has been made.

Packaging

Do you collect the packaging?

Unfortunately, at this time we can't collect the packaging your meals arrive in. But you can recycle them.

Your dinners will arrive in a cardboard box with thermal liner & a gel icepack.

The cardboard box can be collapsed and recycled in your curbside recycling.

The thermal liner & icepack can be reused many times over for your own picnics and when you want to keep things cold. When its life is over it can be recycled in a soft plastics recycling centre. Defrost the icepack and pierce the plastic bag. Drain the gel into your sink - it is water soluble and nontoxic.

The packages and foil trays your meals are packed in are also recyclable - just rinse and dry them first.

Our guarrantee

We offer a money back guarantee for any meals or deliveries you're dissatisfied with. Just get in touch if something's not great!
