Hi, My name is Carol and I set up “Cook My Tea” to offer fresh meals daily to some OAP’s in my area. I run a café in Newbiggin by the Sea so decided to also offer a same day home delivery service because I wanted people to have regular proper home cooked meals at affordable prices.
My own Mum and her friends used to say they would have “just a sandwich” for their evening meal and that as they were on their own “it wasn’t worth cooking a proper dinner for one” and so I decided to offer three, five and seven day meal plans where they could choose from a balanced varied meal menu and have it delivered to their door so they could heat it up that day in their own microwave and enjoy when they were ready.
This service grew to include busy workers who wanted “a proper dinner like their Mam used to make” and our later service allowed a change from take-outs and traditional TV Dinners!. I still run the busy little café on White House Corner with our caring team and we are proud to help members of our Newbiggin community to stay well fed!
