When we started Oakhouse Foods, nearly 20 years ago, the reputation for ready meals in the UK was terrible. Since then we have been one of a small group of retailers championing quality ready meals and, as a result, customers have bought in increasing numbers. Indeed, it has been one of the most successful sectors of the British food industry over the past decade. But now, as some supermarkets have forced down the price of products to absurdly cheap levels, it was only a matter of time before ingredient quality was badly affected.

You will have heard about the recent problems with some supermarkets having horsemeat in some of their products. We would like to reassure all of our customers that Oakhouse Foods is not in any way connected with this meat problem and all our meat comes from assured suppliers. All of our meals are made in the UK and only contain carefully sourced ingredients.

Following recent media reports about beef products containing horsemeat sold in several supermarkets across the UK, we would like to reassure all our customers that Oakhouse Foods is in no way associated with any of the food companies named in the investigation.

Over the years Oakhouse have celebrated events around the UK in all sorts of ways - most recently with beautiful mugs to celebrate the wedding of William & Kate. But for the Diamond Jubilee we wanted to do something which will have more lasting impact, so we have decided to donate money to Barnardo’s, one of the UK charities of which The Queen is Patron. Barnardo’s run over 800 UK projects that transform the lives of more than 190,000 children and young people every year and they need regular donations to fund this fantastic work. So we’ve put together this Jubilee Pack, featuring a mouth-watering selection of some of our most delicious meals and desserts. For each pack sold we’ll make a donation to Barnardo’s.

Tea loses its youth appeal The great British cuppa could be a dying tradition as just 4% of tea drinkers are under 25’s, according to the Independent online. The newspaper reports the findings of a survey carried out amongst the British public, which found that 8 out of 10 of us Brits rely on a cup of tea to get us through the day but that more than 50% of tea drinkers were over the age of 45. Apparently 3.5 billion cups of tea are drunk each year in the workplace too but at Oakhouse Foods we think there’s nothing better than a good cuppa so we won’t be giving ours up any time soon!
