How it works

Good food from your own street.

Three simple steps from hungry to a home-cooked meal in your hands.

01

Discover what's cooking

Browse meals from cooks near you, on the list or the map. Filter by what you can't eat, and see allergens, ingredients and storage advice before you decide.

02

Reserve and pay

Choose your portions, add a note for the cook if you like, and pay securely in the app. You'll see the service fee before you order.

03

Collect it fresh

Meet your cook at the collection time and show your collection pass. They scan its QR code, or you read out the 6-digit number under it. Then enjoy. It's collection only, so everything stays personal and local.

Three ways to enjoy it

Hungry now? Planning ahead? Dreaming up something special?

Every neighbour cooks differently, so every meal comes in the way that suits it best. Pick your mood.

Reserve

Plan it. Cooked fresh, just for you.

Your cook sets a collection day and an order deadline. Reserve your portion before it closes, and they cook to order, so it's made close to when you collect and nothing goes to waste.

  • Perfect for Sunday roasts, weekly bakes and batch cooking
  • Change your mind before the deadline and your food money comes back
ExampleSaturday family curry · order by Friday 6pm · collect Saturday 4 to 6pm
Ready Now

Grab it. Already made, ready to go.

These dishes are cooked and waiting. See what's available near you, reserve a portion, and collect it from the cook's door as soon as it suits you both.

  • Perfect for tonight's dinner or a last-minute lunch
  • The freshest "I need food now" answer on your street
ExampleSlow-cooked stew · 4 portions left · collect from 5pm today
Custom Order

Dream it. Made just for you.

Want something that isn't on the menu? Tell a cook what you have in mind. You chat in the app, they send you a price and a time, and you only pay once you agree.

  • Perfect for birthday cakes, party trays and special diets
  • Everything agreed in one place, in writing
ExampleVegan celebration cake for 12 · collect Friday afternoon

Examples are for illustration. Every listing shows its own allergens, ingredients and storage advice.

Know what you're eating

Built around trust and care.

Selling food from home is a serious responsibility. NeighbourPlate is designed around it from the first step.

No guessing, no awkward questions at the door.

Allergens, ingredients, storage and collection details are always there before you reserve.

Allergens, always up front

The 14 major allergens are declared on every listing, including any extras. Use the "free from" filter to see only what's safe for you.

Hygiene ratings, checked daily

We read each cook's official rating from the Food Standards Agency register every day, and pause listings if it falls below 3.

Scan it or say it

Every order has a QR code and a matching 6-digit number. Either one confirms the right person got the right order.

Fair refunds

If a cook cancels, you get a full refund. If something's wrong, report it and our team reviews it.

Registered cooks

Every cook must be registered as a food business with their local council before they can sell.

Questions

Good to know.

Is NeighbourPlate live yet?

Not yet. We're getting ready to launch in the UK. If you'd like to hear when we do, or you'd like to cook with us, say hello at hello@neighbourplate.com.

What are Reserve, Ready Now and Custom Order?

Reserve is food a cook will prepare for a set collection day: order before their deadline and they cook it to order. Ready Now is food that is already made and ready to collect. Custom Order is something made just for you: you agree the details, price and time with the cook in the app first.

Can I get food delivered?

No. NeighbourPlate is collection only. You pick your meal up from the cook at the agreed time and place, which keeps it fresh and keeps things personal.

What does it cost to order?

The price is whatever the cook sets. A NeighbourPlate service fee is added for paid orders, and we show it on the listing and again in your basket before you pay.

I have an allergy. How do I stay safe?

Check the allergen information on the listing, and use the "free from" filter to narrow your choices. If you have a severe allergy, message the cook and ask before you order. Don't rely on the app alone.

Who is responsible for the food?

NeighbourPlate is an online marketplace. Each cook is an independent food business and is responsible for the food they make and sell. We provide the platform, the payment service, and the tools to keep things safe and fair.
