In light of Coronavirus, people self-isolating and the practice of social distancing coming into effect we’ve found we are well placed to help build strong communities like never before. Since we started nearly two years ago, our team and some customers have been in the habit of taking our food home to eat at a later date. In response to enquiries, The Long Table is making the same great food available as ready meals, adapting to our communities changing needs and enabling each other to be good neigh- bours. We’ve sourced some bio-degradable food containers that food can be frozen and microwaved in. We will be delivering 7 meals for £25. We can drop them direct to the door (with or without contact) or these can be collected from our warehouse. For deliveries we are currently able to cover the entire Stroud District. We endeavour to cater for most dietary requirements, please let us know of any allergies when you make your order. The current menu includes: Lentil Dahl Turkey Curry (mild) Sausage Casserole Bean Stew Mediterranean Vegetable Pasta Chickpea Curry As always we are offering a pay-it-forward option for those who may not be able to afford the meals at this time. The target recipients are: People self isolating with funds who want affordable tasty and nutritious meals for their household. People whose carers can no longer visit them as the carers are self isolate ing. People who are nervous about going into public or are being asked to minimise contact as they are over 70+.
