FAQs

At Field Doctor we aim to be as transparent as possible with our customers about everything! Prices included.

We are very proud of our products and we want to maintain that level of quality and service.

So we are letting you know that from time to time due to varying cost of ingredients, packaging, energy and deliveries we may change the price of our meals.

Sometimes this will mean a price increase, but also a decrease.

We hope that you can understand that in a constantly changing world we are also having to adapt and make changes as well. If you have any questions please do get in touch.

Choose your delivery day on your way to checkout. We deliver from Tuesday – Saturday

The courier will email you on the morning of your delivery with your tracking information and a delivery timeslot. You may also get an email the day before delivery, just to let you know that they have your parcel ready for delivery the next day.

Unfortunately, at this point we do not have control over what slot you will be assigned.

If you are not in, the courier will leave your meals where instructed, (there is an option at checkout to leave specific delivery instructions) in an insulated box that will keep them frozen until at least 7pm on your day of delivery. Please do not ask your driver to deliver on another day as either courier do not keep your parcel in frozen storage and are instructed to dispose of your parcel if not delivered on the original chosen delivery date.

You can find all the ingredients and nutritional information for each dish directly from our shop page by clicking the information icon and navigating to the bottom of the page.

We offer two different portion sizes.

Double serve portions- 760g, *served in one dish

Single serve portions- 380g

You could pack a single portion for lunch at work (the aroma will most definitely make your colleagues jealous though!), or share a double portion with friends, and gain eternal popularity. You may even find yourself devouring a whole double-serve meal (as we have often done ourselves!).

For food and safety reasons and to protect your gut we recommend you reheat your meal only once, following the instructions on the back of each meal carefully.

MEAL BOX SIZE

We know it can be a challenge fitting everything you need into your freezer, so please see below the dimensions of our meal boxes:

Double serve portions: 26cm x 17cm x 5cm

Single serve portions: 17.5cm x 13cm x 5cm

We cater for various dietary requirements such as vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free and low FODMAP. You can complete the meal filter here to find the right meals for you.

On each meal page we have provided all ingredient and allergen information.

We are nuts about nuts due to their various health benefits. We do not cook with peanuts but routinely add walnuts, cashew nuts, almonds and brazil nuts to our meals.

*We are not a nut free kitchen, our nut free meals are suitable for persons with nut sensitivities

Our gluten free meals have been certified gluten free and are coeliac safe. You can find our gluten free dishes by following this link: https://www.fielddoctor.co.uk/pages/gluten-free-coeliac-friendly

Yes, our meals are cooked in our Somerset kitchen and frozen to lock in the nutritional goodness, great taste and reduce wastage.

They will arrive with you frozen, but if for any reason this is not the case, so long as they are still partially frozen you can refreeze them by putting them into your freezer until it's time to cook and enjoy them - don't worry, they are perfectly safe to eat!

Alternatively you can put them in the fridge and once they are fully defrosted eat within 48 hours following the cooked from chilled/defrosted instructions.

Note: if you have fish dishes we recommend not refreezing if defrosted, so you can put them into the fridge and cook from defrosted within 48 hours like the other meals - or reach out to Charlie here or give him a call on 01225 941141 to discuss options.

See below all details regarding the recyclability of all aspects of our packaging:

• Cardboard Outer boxes: household recyclable
• Wool Liners: Can be put in compost bins
• Climacell Liners (plant foam): There is no ambiguity here at all; put this in your recycling/compost bin and this will be collected and disposed of by local councils. Made with paper and plant base foam.
• Gel based ice packs: Disposal in general waste only (including gel itself) or you can reuse in packed lunches!
• Eco-friendly bag: Produced using a green ethanol derived from renewable sugar cane rather than traditional fossil fuel. Recycle alongside traditional polythene (recycle code 4)
• Meal Sleeve: household recyclable
• Meal Tray: household recyclable
• Meal Stickers: not recyclable

Please note we have temporarily replaced our usual insulated packaging due to a supplier issue. The boxes are cardboard and therefore can be recycled in curb-side recycling.
The liners are recyclable, they are made of LDPE4, this can be recycled in some curb-side recycling (you will need to check your council jurisdiction) but can be recycled in supermarket plastics recycling.

Charlie is available on our phone line from 9am - 5pm Monday to Friday.

Outside of these hours, please send us an email at hello@fielddoctor.co.uk and we will respond to you as soon as possible.

*Please note that emails are only monitored in standard office hours, Monday to Friday, so if you wish to make any changes, please do this inside these hours.

Some of our customers ask why Field Doctor's ready meals may have a different taste compared to some less healthy options on the market.
 
We want you to know that we take our customer's health and dietary requirements seriously, which is why we prioritise using natural ingredients and avoid additives altogether, and also produce meals that are not high in salt, fat or sugar. Each meal contains a large variety and quantity of vegetables, at least 2 of your 5 a day, as well as wholegrains and other nutritionally dense ingredients.
 
While our meals may have a more subtle flavour, rest assured that they are carefully designed by our dietitians to deliver all the essential nutrients you need to support your dietary needs and well-being. All while being as convenient as possible for you to enjoy.
 
Furthermore, some of our meals are designed for specific dietary needs, while some are for general health. Please contact our customer services team to make sure the meals you are ordering are the best fit for your needs.
 
We appreciate you choosing our nutritious meals and being part of our health-conscious community.
