Our Meals

The Wild Hare’s meals are unique. Cooked fresh every week, by professional chefs. The meats are from animals that are outdoor reared, on grass, the poultry from high welfare farms, and all our British farmers are focused on sustainability and environmentally-friendly objectives that The Wild Hare Group set.

Using old-fashioned cuts, as we feel these ooze flavour. There’s an emphasis on British grown ancient grains such as barley, spelt, and quinoa, which are not modified or refined but are nutritionally rich and good for digestion, lowering cholesterol and controlling blood sugar. There are no emulsifiers, preservatives or other chemicals in our dishes, and the food lasts really well, just because it’s never frozen and is delivered fresh to store.

The Ben & Poppy Range

Nutrition for kids is based on the same priciples as for adults. We all need the good stuff, just children need them in differing amounts. Our children's range is recommended for kids from 4 – 10 yr olds. Then move them on to our adult range. As we never cook in high saturated fats or high levels of salts and sugars. This range then works great for the older hungry child.

Launching in 2021!

Our Story

Dominie is a keen cook, who loves teaching her young children to cook too, but sometimes life’s just too hectic to make family meals from scratch each night. Looking for a healthy alternative but failing to find fresh and convenient ‘ready meals,’ she decided to produce some herself.

Dominie studied the environment at University writing her dissertation on the environmental impacts of plastics, she’s always been a foodie with an interest in sustainability. Initially she pursued her passion for cooking by working in hospitality, including serving at garden parties at Buckingham palace and working in kitchens across London.

Latterly and for many years, she worked with construction businesses, managing sustainable supply chains. It was time for change, she wanted to play a positive part in reducing climate change. She believed that if everyone tasked themselves with one key aim, and became more responsible with the use of plastics and burning of fossil fuels, then we, together, could preserve our natural world. Inspired by a local farmer friend who specialises in grass-fed meat and determined to find a way to produce fresh convenience foods using nutritious, natural and fully-traceable ingredients, she set on her way to producing Fresh, Nutritious, Sustainable ready meals.

Reviews

“Bravo - probably the best ready meal curry we've ever had. We tried hard to conjure up some advice as to how this could be improved but couldn't find fault. The lentils have retained a delightful bite, the chicken is clearly of superb quality and the spinach is fresh and bright. Wonderful from the appearance and aroma, right through to the long, balanced heat of the finish.”

“This is a delicious Indian-influenced ready meal, full of vibrant colours and flavours. The freshness of the spinach is clever - how do you capture that just-wilted fresh leaf in a dish that has been packaged and (re)heated? The balance of spices is also clever - lemon, ginger, curry leaves, and just the right amount of unchallenging heat.  It does not need any additional seasoning. The lentils have been well prepared with perfect texture, yielding some bite, but never tasting under-cooked. We did wonder about the choice of breast meat - why not use chicken leg or thigh meat with their intrinsically deeper flavour, greater tenderness and value?  That said, it is hard to imagine how a ready meal could be bettered - and the cleverness of that spinach continues to impress!”

“The aromas are most inviting - a great authentic waft of sub-continental cuisine. There are some delightful touches, including the whole curry leaves that impart a great nuanced flavour. The whole handling of this dish is excellent.  We admired the ability to present 'just wilted' spinach leaves in the context of a ready meal...that in itself is a stroke of genius. The range of flavours is simple and distinct, there is no suggestion of a generic 'curry' mix. There is a tingle of heat and the seasoning is spot on.”

“A visual delight with evidence of curry leaves, whole red lentils, chunks of chicken breast and green baby spinach leaves. The appearance and aroma were entirely enticing and as for the taste, this is beyond delicious. Each component was wonderfully cooked in its own right and we all marvelled at how the spinach leaves were bright and green and the red lentils held their bite.  The aromatics were beautifully balanced with delicate spicing and just the right amount of heat, which had huge length but was gentle enough for all palates.”
