Whilst that indeed may be the case, January to March can be some of the coldest months Britain endures, looking back at our track history of The Beast from the East, things aren't looking too promising. Keeping warm and well fed in winter is incredibly important; the cold makes us tired and lethargic, less energised to get up and move about, let alone work away in the kitchen. This leads to malnourishment and other cold related ailments; a saddening number of people died due to avoidable causes

We are delighted to announce that Oakhouse Foods is supporting Age UK to help older people Age UK is an amazing charity who are there for older people when they need someone one to turn to. Here at Oakhouse Foods, we’re not only committed to providing high quality meals, but also a fantastic service. Our drivers often play an important role in their customers' lives, whether it’s just seeing a friendly face once a week or stopping for a cuppa and a chat, they can really make a difference.

  The Greater Manchester branch of Oakhouse Foods is backing Manchester’s ‘HITS Radio’ plea to fill up Manchester’s food banks. One in three children in Manchester lives in poverty, that’s 75,000 school children who don’t have enough food to eat. During the summer holidays, the food banks are under enormous pressure due to the number of children that lose the all important daily school meal. Matthew Brennand, Branch Manager of Oakhouse Greater Manchester, loaded up his delivery vans and headed down to the radio station to donate £250 of goods, which was greatly appreciated by the team at HITS Radio.

Our drivers are always there when you need them. Whether that’s to pop in for a chat. To unpack your shopping and arrange groceries in your cupboards. Or to simply deliver delicious frozen meals straight to your door. And as you can imagine, all of this is hungry work. Our drivers love trying our meals just as much as they love delivering them to you. After all – they want to make sure what you’re getting is as tasty as it should be! Anyone who’s ordered from Oakhouse knows how valuable our drivers are. They’re the heart and soul of the company, and consistently go above and beyond to ensure each customer is happy. And their passion for great service is only rivalled by their love of great food.

Our drivers are the face of Oakhouse Foods. They’re a key part of your experience when you order from us, and do so much more than deliver meals to your door. If your driver has stayed to chat, helped unpack or even come to the rescue, we want to hear about it. We’re launching our Extra Mile Award 2018, where we recognise exceptional Oakhouse drivers. For this annual award, we’re asking you to nominate one of our lovely drivers who has gone above and beyond for you. There are three ways you can nominate someone. Simply click here to fill in the short form. Or if you’d like to do it later, we’ll be promoting the Extra Mile Award throughout August – so just look out for details in our upcoming emails. Alternatively, you can find a slip on the back of your delivery note which you can fill out and post back to us.

We all want to feel healthy and happy in our own home. Which is where having enough of the more everyday groceries we use for cooking, cleaning and washing, helps keep life ticking over smoothly. From planning menus to enjoying a relaxing bath every evening – there’s plenty to think about when it comes to what you buy, how much and when. And if you don’t want to lug heavy bags back from the supermarket, Oakhouse can help. We’ll ensure  your freezer is always stocked up with delicious meals and desserts, and take care of the grocery side of things too.
