Why We're Different

If you want real food instead of ultra-processed, mass-produced factory meals made to a budget -

Dinner's Ready is your answer.

Our Passion

Is tasty, healthy, real food. We really enjoy eating good food, and would like you to too! To achieve that real home-cooked flavour and quality our chefs cook everything by hand, exactly like you would at home. And each has their own speciality - casseroles, curries, pasta, comfort food, soothing desserts. They've done the cooking so you don't have to. All you have to do is heat and eat.

Our Food

It's all hand-cooked using only the best real-food produce - not the food-substitutes and chemicals that are used in the processed meals made by manufacturers. And it's nutritious with a high protein content. (Our Butter Chicken is 66% pure chicken - some supermarket meals contain as low as 16%.) We snap-freeze all our meals as soon as they're made, so that all that beautiful flavour and nutrition is sealed in. (More about why we're different here.)

Our Meals

We have a big variety of hand-made meals - some are single serve, and others are to share. Here's our full menu. Plus we have meals that are gluten-free, dairy-free and vegetarian. And a great range of 'bundles' - selections of meals for easy home delivery

Our Customers

Who buys our meals? Anyone who loves nutritious, real-food, home-style cooking but doesn't have the time (or want) to cook it themselves. Our customers include busy workers, parents, retirees, those on home-care packages, holidaymakers, lots who work from home, plenty watching their weight or protein content, and many who just need a break. We also supply to sports groups, clubs, Government departments and corporate offices for their staff.

Our Stockists

In addition to making home deliveries our meals are also stocked in a large range of quality independent retailers around Canberra and the Snowy Mountains.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the meals you delivered to my friend.....
She was blown away and hasn’t stopped raving about how delicious the meals were.
​The entire experience from ordering to delivery was impeccable, and I would highly recommend your service. Thanks again.
★★★★★
I’m a chef by trade so it’s weird not to cook my own meals, but these meals are the next best thing and so much better than the other pre-made meals.
I have recommended you to a few new mum friends and I know they have ordered as well! Thanks again!
★★★★★
Can I say your meals are the best.
All other brands do not taste like real home-cooked meals, and yours certainly do.

Our famous Cottage Pie is the perfect comfort food.

Our famous Cottage Pie is the perfect comfort food.

Our famous Cottage Pie is the perfect comfort food.  Premium Aussie lamb and beef and a deep, rich gravy, are all topped off with a gorgeous creamy mash crust.  And, of course, it's all hand made.

Available as a single serve, or a meal-to-share for 2-3

Tested Gluten Free

Our chef’s tried and true recipe base is of pure Aussie lamb and beef, gently cooked in our home-made stock to give a deep, rich gravy. The pie is topped off with a gorgeous mashed potato crust (no ‘milk solids’ or ‘thickeners’ here, it’s made the old-fashioned way will real milk and butter.)

Originating from family farm kitchens in the UK and Ireland, Cottage Pie has been adopted as an Aussie favourite for generations. Our chefs have used their own recipe to continue on with this tradition, giving you a meal that truly tastes as if it was made in a country kitchen. Home-made food without you having to spend hours making it yourself.

Perfect for a really satisfying dinner when you feel like a little nurturing - or as a rainy day lunch. A meal in itself on it’s own - or try serving with some green peas, or lightly steamed beans and carrots.

 We often love to add some grated cheddar and/or parmesan on top of the mash and then flash under the grill till bubbling golden brown.
