Our Story

Attempting to manage a newborn, toddler & preschooler and swamped with the demands of everyday life, Village Kitchen founder Rebecca Jones craved a delicious, homestyle meal delivered to the family’s doorstep each evening. The reality was that good, home-cooked meals took a back seat, and once the kids were finally asleep the go-to dinner solution was all too often a late phone call to the local takeaway restaurant.

Rebecca began to wonder how many other time-poor people could be interested in receiving healthy, home-cooked meals at the end of their day and soon realised that busy parents were just the tip of the iceberg. Professional couples, singles, the elderly, new parents, busy parents, the unwell or simply those wanting a good, healthy meal but lacking the skills or time to produce it themselves, were all keen to embrace Village Kitchen’s delicious solution.

Village Kitchen launched on the North Shore of Auckland, NZ, in July 2015, and in early 2017 shifted operations to Auckland central in order to manage an expanding customer base.
Village Kitchen’s primary focus is to free up YOUR precious time so you can focus on things you’d rather be doing, by delivering a fresh, made from scratch dinner to your door each weeknight.

Using free-farmed meats and whole ingredients, Village Kitchen caters to everybody, including those with special dietary requirements (gluten-free, vegetarian and paleo).

Either subscribe or place your casual order by 4.00pm Sunday and we will have your delicious dinners delivered to your door, any or every weeknight. We promise, we can relieve those dinner woes.

On 1 July 2017, Village Kitchen started a very special relationship with Cure Kids, which means that by sorting your delicious, convenient weeknight meal, you’re also helping us support this great organisation, whose goal it is to give every kid the healthy childhood they deserve.

Next week’s menu goes live on the website every Monday, order online by 4.00pm Sunday, and that’s it. Your delicious delivered weeknight dinners, ready to heat and enjoy!

Consciously sourced ingredients (free range etc) for healthy, delicious meals. Rebecca and her team are gems … working hard all day in the kitchen so we don’t have to! Love our delicious meals, best $ I’ve spent, affording me precious time that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. Give VK a go, you won’t regret it!

I think you do a great job. I used to be a very loyal supporter of My Food Bag, but now I am working nearly full time, I struggle with all the prep that has to happen after school in between after school activities. I love that your meals arrive ready to pop into the oven and you are so consistent with your delivery times. I also love that your meals are nutritionally great – I see the extra veggies sneaked in there, but the kids either don’t notice or think it’s yummy anyway.

We enjoyed all last week’s dinners, it’s a fabulous help to me, not only dreaming up what to have, preparation, all the shopping, but also the guilt of firing out the old veggies etc. from the fridge!!!!

Lorraine

Ten gold stars for Wednesday and Thursday’s dinners last week. Melt in your mouth pork, tasty kumara and lots of greens!! Tasty lamb and mash and great greens!! Husband very pleased.

Lenore

We also love your frozen meals – I normally try to ensure we have a couple in the freezer for those occasions when you just run out of time or can’t be bothered to cook

Village Kitchen has truly changed our lives, and in particular our evenings which are now stress-free and nutritious! As a busy family with parents both working full time and busy teenagers with school and sport it has made a huge difference to our lives, so thank you! The variety you serve is beyond what we could even imagine doing ourselves, and the fact you do paleo meals was the X factor that brought us to you.
