Thursday Tea - take away done differently
Fancy a night off cooking, but craving a proper home-cooked meal? We’ll take care of it. Each week we’ll post what the Thursday Tea will be. We’ll put together a tasty, nutritious and balanced meal based around a theme. If you fancy it, simply book by TUESDAY 9pm so we know exactly how much to cook to order.
Collection can be made from the Washington Terrace kitchen (NE30 2HG - address given on ordering) between 5.30pm and 6.30pm. Deliveries will be made between 6.30pm and 7.30pm. Deliveries can only be made within the NE30 postcode at present). Please note £2 will be added for deliveries.
Now you just need to decide how hungry you are! Small should be enough for 1 - 2 adults (£20), large for 2 - 3 (£30). Dessert, when offered, is £5 per individual portion.
Sustainability
Zero waste - we’ll cook exactly what’s required so there’ll be no waste (60% of UK food waste is from the home!), hence orders placed on Tuesday for Thursday service.
All food will be served in reusable (not disposable), containers. Though they can be recycled, we’ll reuse these, so please return if / when a subsequent order is made. Alternatively feel free to reuse, rather than recycle these yourselves.
