Shipping

  • We offer multiple delivery services to the Auckland Metro and Outer areas. Due to the nature of shipping a perishable product, we are unable to offer delivery to rural addresses as of yet. Take a look at our shipping options for a list of eligible suburbs and to find an service that suits you.

  • We work with local delivery partners to ensure your food remains cold and safe throughout transit. Everyone hates a squashed brownie! For day time deliveries we use Bespoke To You, and for evening deliveries we use Urgent Couriers.

    If you are not home for delivery, our carrier will attempt to leave your box in a secure, safe location. If they are unable to deliver or find a secure location, the delivery will be returned to us to store for the next day.

    Meals ordered will be delivered frozen, unless availability means we can only send fresh. If you wish to shop ahead, we are able to hold stock for 1-2 weeks.

  • Please read the delivery zones carefully for each option - if you select a shipping method for an invalid address, we will cancel and refund your order.

  • Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to ship to rural addresses due to the availability of suitable delivery parters.

  • Our courier partners will leave your parcel in a safe and covered area and text you as soon as it is delivered.

    Our boxes are well packed with ice packs and extra paper insulation so will be fine for a few extra hours until you arrive home. Both fresh and frozen meal boxes should not be left out overnight or for very long periods of time.

Ordering

  • We currently do not have an online store (we’re working on it!), but there are many other ways to shop with us.

    If you can’t visit us in store, feel free to give us a call or email the team to find out what’s in stock. And if you haven’t already - sign up to our newsletter to be the first to know about our weekly specials!

    Take a look at our contact page for updated shop hours and our location.

  • If you’re buying at the shop you can pay by cash, Visa or Mastercard, while orders placed via phone or email can be paid by Visa, Mastercard or direct bank deposit.

  • Our menu consists of a variety of regular, seasonal, specials and one-off items that we rotate throughout the weeks or months. We try to keep well stocked with a variety of items to keep everyone in the family happy, but sometimes we can only make one batch! Below is an idea of how often some items will be restocked, but if you need to know asap, please give us a call!

    Regular Items

    We make sure to keep on top the supply of our regular menu items, so if you see something marked with the yellow sticker is out of stock, we will probably have it back shortly - usually within the week.

    Specials & One-Offs

    Once they’re gone, they’re gone! Although, sometimes due to popular demand we might repeat an item the next week (hint hint, sign up to our emails to find out!). We offer a variety of differing weekly specials depending on produce available to us - these come in select quantities, and can sell out very fast - so be quick!

    Seasonal Items

    Our seasonal items (such as specific fruit jams, or salads) are only able to be produced at certain times of the year when produce is at its best, so these wont always be in stock. We do our best to find alternatives to make sure our product range has enough variety.

  • Meals will be delivered frozen unless stock only permits to send an item fresh. Fresh food is more fragile, and we don’t want you to receive a smushed pie for tonight’s dinner! Don’t worry though - all of our meals can be cooked from fresh OR frozen, as per the items instructions.

  • Yes! We love to send care packages and always receive excellent feedback from those who have sent and received care packages in the past. We’ll make sure to remove prices and include cooking instructions, as well as write a small note from the sender. Give us a call or email to enquire further.

General

  • Our prepared main dishes come in single and double serve sizes, with family size (serves 4) available also with some of our menu items. Our ‘mains’ come unaccompanied (no veg, rice, mash, salad etc), leaving you free to choose your own sides. Though we’re pretty generous with our portions, we’re aware that people have varying appetites. Give us a call if you’re unsure how much to order.

    We also have a range of ready to ‘heat and eat’ microwave meals for one person. These are complete meals with the main protein and vegetable sides. These change each week, so it’s best to check in with us by email or phone so we can advise what’s currently in stock.

  • At Casual Foodie we make seriously good food from scratch, with real ingredients you can find in your own pantry. We don’t count calories, nor do we specialise in low-sugar, low-carb or low-fat meals. We do, however, have gluten, dairy and meat-free options scattered throughout our menu.

    We do not operate a strictly gluten/dairy/meat-free kitchen, and so traces of these may be present in our “free from” products.

  • We provide delicious and cost-effective catering solutions for dinner parties and small functions. Our meals, salads and desserts can even be presented in your own serve-ware so no one has to know!

    Create your own simple but beautiful grazing platters with our collection of nibbles including the best chicken liver pate in town, sticky onion jam and our famous smoked mackerel dip.

    Promised you’ll bring dessert? No need to stress. Consider our amazingly authentic tiramisu, or family friendly sticky date pudding. Though be warned, you may not want to share!

    We also specialise in providing bulk meals for sports teams, perfect for after-match functions or tournaments away. Our traditional favourites such as lasagne and macaroni cheese take the hassle out of menu-planning and are always loved by even the fussiest kids on tour!

  • If you would like to place an order for your business or company - call us for assistance and quotes. Concessions will apply for larger orders. We can also ensure your gift orders are arranged and organised so you can just collect on a nominated day, or have them delivered.

  • We sure do! Whether it’s Christmas, a birthday or a gift for a tricky mother-in-law, we have options for all occasions and budgets. We can create bespoke gift boxes of chutneys and sweet treats, care packages with frozen meals, or if you’re stuck for ideas or in a rush - a voucher always goes down a treat! All you need to do is give us a call, email or pop in to chat with a member of our amazing team and we’ll have you sorted in no time.

  • Meal trays can be recycled in your weekly kerbside recycle collection bins. The film should be removed and they must be cleaned first.

    Our soups and some desserts are packaged in reusable and recyclable plastics. Once cleaned they can be re-used for many purposes including freezing leftovers. They can also be put in your kerbside recycle collection.
