Meal Services
There are times in your life when you don’t feel like preparing meals – extra visitors, holiday periods when the shops are too busy, or when recuperating from an illness. If you require quality meals to be delivered to your door, the Village Manager will assist in co-ordinating the provision of an external meal service on a user-pays basis.
#Living Choice reserves the right to alter services and prices at any time - please consult the Village Manager for up to date information.
