  • Veggie side portions

Roasties you want to reheat? Place into a preheated oven at 190 degrees/gas mark 5 for 15/20 minutes until piping hot!


** You do not have to reheat them like this if you do not have the facilites - this is just extra advice on how to get the best quality reheat from your meals, just ensure your food is piping hot before serving and only reheat once!

If you are reheating in the microwave make sure you cook for no longer than two minute intervals and stir in between each interval until piping hot.
