Super simple! Here are your three options:

- Microwave: Pierce the film and heat for 2-3 minutes (depending on your microwave's wattage).

- Oven: Transfer to an ovenproof dish and heat until warmed through.

- Stovetop: Warm the meal in a pan or pot on medium heat.

Always ensure your meal is piping hot throughout before tucking in. For complete heating guidance across all our meals, check out our detailed reheating instructions.

Your Cottage Pie stays fresh in the fridge for 4 to 7 days from delivery. We deliver our meals fresh (never frozen!), so they're ready to heat and enjoy whenever suits you. Each meal has a clear use-by date on the label. Want to keep some for later? You can absolutely freeze your meals for up to 3 months, just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Our Cottage Pie is more than just comfort food - it's genuinely nourishing! The beef provides high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12 to support your muscles, energy levels, and immune system. Potatoes contribute potassium, an essential electrolyte that helps regulate blood pressure and muscle function. Plus, they contain resistant starch, which acts as a prebiotic to feed beneficial gut bacteria. The carrots deliver beta-carotene and dietary carotenoids that support immune function and healthy vision. With 3 vegetable serves per meal, you're well on your way to getting more veggies into your day.

Great question! This trips up lots of people! The simple difference is the meat: cottage pie uses beef mince, while shepherd's pie traditionally uses lamb. Think of it this way: shepherds herd sheep, not cows! Both feature that delicious mashed potato topping we all love, but our Cottage Pie is made with premium beef mince, fresh vegetables, and creamy mashed potato. If you're after the lamb version, check out our De-Constructed Shepherd's Pie.
