Why it costs less
How do we do it for half the price?
A takeaway costs what it does because everything waits around for you. We plan ahead instead, and that's where the saving comes from.
The takeaway way
£16+- Food bought in just in caseRestaurants stock up for orders that might never come, and what isn't sold gets thrown away.
- Chefs on standbyKitchen staff wait around all evening, paid whether the orders come in or not.
- Cooked one order at a timeEvery dinner is made on its own, the moment someone taps order.
- One driver, one dinnerA driver waits, rides to the restaurant, then rides to your door, for a single order.
- The app takes its cutThen the delivery app adds its own fees on top.
All of that waiting ends up in the price.
The Back Kitchen way
- 1We cook what people loveWe work out the dishes our subscribers actually enjoy and keep the menu tight.
- 2You tell us your nightsSubscribers pick their nights ahead, so we know exactly how many dinners to cook.
- 3We order exactly what we needNo buying in just in case, so next to nothing ends up in the bin.
- 4We cook everything togetherOne fresh cook in our Plymouth kitchen that day, so every dinner is at its best.
- 5One route, everyone's dinnerOur driver brings your dinner along with your neighbours', not one trip per order.
The result: restaurant food for £8 a dinner. About half the price, and better for it.
Less food thrown away and fewer delivery miles, so it's kinder to the planet too. You eat well, we waste less, everyone's happy.

Questions

How fresh is it, what if your plans change, what do you pay and how big is your plate. Tap a question, get a straight answer.
Fresh and on time
Your meals are cooked the same day by our restaurant partner, not batch-made days ahead and shipped frozen. Deliveries run on fixed weekly routes, which is what keeps timing consistent rather than left to ad hoc dispatch.
Deliveries land within your route's set early-evening window rather than a time you pick yourself. Everything for the day arrives together in one package, so you are not waiting on separate drops for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We are new to Plymouth, and we would rather earn that than oversell it. Every meal is cooked same-day in a real restaurant kitchen on a fixed, predictable route. We are starting with one partner kitchen and keeping quality tight before we grow.
Changing your mind
No. You choose anywhere from zero to seven delivery days a week, and you can pause, resume or cancel from your account whenever your plans change. Changes apply from the next week that has not locked yet, so there is no gap and no penalty.
You can swap any day's meal for anything else on that week's menu until the daily cutoff, half an hour before the delivery window opens. After that the order locks so the kitchen can cook it.
Pause from your account. Deliveries and billing stop until the date you choose, and your targets, address and card are all still there when you come back.
Price
Takeaways pay for food bought in just in case, chefs on standby, cooking one order at a time and a driver per order. Because you tell us your nights ahead, we order exactly what we need, cook everything together in our kitchen that day and deliver everyone's dinner on one route. Next to nothing is wasted, and the saving comes to you.
At £8 a dinner you get food cooked same-day in a restaurant kitchen and sized to your own targets, not a frozen batch or a one-off takeaway. It also buys back the shopping, cooking and washing up that a home-cooked meal still costs you in time.
Your first week of dinners is free on whichever plan you choose. Stripe takes your card securely when you sign up, and your first weekly charge only lands when the free week ends. Cancel or pause from your account before then and you pay nothing. You get one free week per account.
Your first week is free. You add your card through Stripe when you pick your plan, and your first weekly charge lands when the free week ends. After that each week bills in advance, and you can update your card, see receipts and change your plan from your account.
The menu and your plate
Yes. The Back Kitchen app is where you run everything: see this week's menu, pick and swap tonight's dinner until the cutoff, see when your dinner is on its way, and pause or skip a week. Sign up on the website or in the app and you use the same account in both.
No. Our kitchen publishes a new fixed menu seven days ahead, so you are choosing from fresh options each week. You can see what is coming and pre-order breakfast and lunch for the next day too.
Pick a calorie tier (under 500, about 650 or about 800) and set your protein, carb, veg and salt preferences once. Every meal you pick is then built to that profile, and any swap we have to make is explained to you, never made silently.
Declare allergens and the way you eat in your account and they are checked against every meal before it is ever assigned to you. Our partner kitchens handle common allergens, so always read the ingredients listed for your meal if you have an allergy.
Meals are prepared in shared restaurant kitchens that handle common allergens, including gluten, dairy, nuts and shellfish. Always check the ingredients listed for your meal if you have an allergy.
