Company mission
To keep human connection at the heart of ordering food.
Our take
With the rise of takeaway deliveries, online groceries, and meal boxes, the food delivery service industry has witnessed significant disruption over the past few years. With the ready meal market the fastest-growing segment within the food industry, it's no surprise then that the demand for prepared food deliveries is rapidly on the rise.
HomeCooks is a meal delivery service connecting people around the UK to independent chefs that make authentic, home-cooked meals. Setting itself apart from competitors, HomeCooks is focused on supporting small independent chefs, giving them the ability to compete with bigger brands that typically have more accessibility to the resources for distribution.
Aiming of bringing back quality and creativity within the food industry, HomeCooks plans on further growing its name around the UK while continuing to discover and connect independent chefs with their local communities.
