Struggling to know what to have for dinner? Run out of time in the day to eat a healthy, homecooked meal? Need dinner on a budget? We are a CIC based in Southampton using surplus food to create homecooked meals, delivered to your door! We offer a varied menu whilst catering to allergies and dietary requirements such as vegan, low carb and gluten free. Starting up during the 2020 COVID lockdowns as

a way to reach the community and help tackle food poverty and isolation during that time, Easy Tz Meals expanded to start trading officially in July 2020 and has become an official Community Interest Company as of 5th January 2022. Becoming a CIC means that profits made will go back into the team and community! We offer training to our volunteers, we donate meals and we are lucky enough to have gained our first apprentice, who will recieve her first qualifications thanks to your orders and donations. Our Purpose

Happy bank holiday Monday πŸ’š

In an attempt to do some "work from home" it seemed my laptop didn't want to be cooperative, so it looks like I've gone to the big screen to type up this week's menu πŸ“Ί

Almost done with this week's type up, alongside thinking of what I'll be doing for this week's event! No resting up this Monday πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ³

Are you prepared for Autumn? I'm looking forward to the stew season and getting cosy with some warm desserts! I'll be bringing in September with one last salad to remember the summer by πŸ₯—

Check in with the website in the next few hours to see when we upload the menu and we look forward to feeding you soon πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Time for tea? πŸ«–πŸ°πŸ₯ͺ

We had a wonderful time preparing this mega afternoon tea for a fabulous 90th birthday party!

I got to meet with the birthday lady to liaise with her on what would be on her menu, and boy what a feast! She went with

πŸ₯ͺA variety of classic sandwiches
πŸ₯šSavoury items such homemade mini quiches, freshly baked sausage rolls, and retro vol au vents
πŸ“Handmade scones made by our fair Rosie, with all the trimmings!
🍰 A selection of sweet treats, including homemade toffee piece brownies, brulée tarts and more
🍏 A refreshing apple mint mocktail to toast the birthday lady with, with squash for another soft drink option
β˜• Your classic tea, coffee, milks and sugars
πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ³And don't forget those with dietary requirements! Including preparing a gluten-free alternative for some of the guests!

We were so honoured to be a part of this celebration and to be able to provide the catering and staff for this, we can't wait to see what the future holds, and you know where we are if you need us for small to medium functions πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ³πŸ’š

PAYMENT:

We accept bank transfer, payment by card or cash .
We can invoice you via email with bank details attached or payment on collection using the other 3 options.

APPLES:

Condition is key. Apples are best picked from the tree , windfall apples are good aswell but need to be checked. No rotten apples , no badly bruised apples , no apples with lots of insects in.
All this can affect taste significantly.
Small bruising is ok but we will check apples when sorting and discard unsuited apples into the food for animals pile.

Better the condition the better the taste.

CAN WE PRESS OTHER FRUIT:

Yes we can , we can press Pears to make apple and pear juice or just pear juice.
Grapes πŸ‡, to make apple and grape juice ect.
We could press oranges 🍊 aswell.

C***R:

we can press apples for c***r.
We can offer the option to supply a fermentation barrel, airlock and add yeast for Β£30 and Β£1 per litre pressed . Each barrel holds around 25l of juice. You'll have to take it home and let the fermentation process happen and in a few months you'll have yummy c***r.

THE PROCESS:

On arrival you'll unload your apples into one or many of our bale arm crates.
Fill out a form with your details.
We will then get to work.
We will sort , wash , mill your apples. Then load them into the press, your juice gets pumped into the bottling machine where we bottle the juice before it heads into the bath pasteuriser. Once pasteurised we let it cool naturally and then add your label on each bottle. Come and collect your juice.

SHELF LIFE:

1year from date of pasturising. Because we gently heat the juice to 72 degrees its kill all harmful bacteria in the juice giving it a 1 year lifespan unopened. Unopened bottles do not need to be stored in the fridge only opened bottles.
Once opened 3 to 5 days in the fridge.

HOW MANY APPLE DO I NEED:

It takes around 1.5kgs to make one bottle of juice.
We recommend one bale arm crate of apples for pressing but we can accommodate less.

APPLE DONATION:

unwanted apples can be dropped off to us as long as they are not rotten or badly bruised.
