This may be the one meal that our clients may have in the day. Our meals are prepared using high-quality ingredients for best nutritional value for the health and recovery of our clients.

If you would like to get a meal for yourself, a neighbour or a loved one , do not hesitate to contact us with your name, address, and telephone number.
All our meals are highly nutritious, made daily with fresh good quality ingredients . The cost of a meal is €5 – this includes starter, main course, and dessert.
If you have any special dietary requirements or food intolerances/allergies, please tell us so we can tailor your meal to suit you.
Meals can be provided on a daily, weekly or longer-term basis.
