We offer the same meals for both types of batch meals. Please specify OAP or slimming upon order.
All meals are made by our team and then frozen for freshness. We care about the produce we use and try and ensure as much of the ingredients are sourced locally as possible. We only use lean meats and low fat spray whilst cooking, to ensure we are following the principles of healthy eating. The menu items are those that our own Nic has developed and used in her Slimming Journey. Follow @thebatchbaker for more tips and advice on how to loose and keep off those pounds. If you fancy a night out or a treat in a café, rest assured the Bistro menu has plenty of options for you too. Any numbers or points assigned to a meal are only an advisory. Please see below for cooking instructions. The dishes are not served with sides unless otherwise stated. We advice all customers to apply 1/3 vegetables (speed foods) to all meals.
