Andre's Kitchen

Andre's Kitchen will continue with healthy meal prep deliveries, roast delivery service and special takeaway events.

We will also put on a temporary ready meal delivery service as we did during the previous lockdown.

The menu includes items such as honey roasted sausages simmered in an onion, red wine and thyme gravy with buttery mash and roasted mixed vegetables; sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice; and mild chicken korma with steamed basmati rice.

To order, please call before Friday for Monday delivery. A minimum of £20 for delivery is required, alternatively, you may collect from our unit.

For more details or to order, the phone number is: 01749 938100.

Wookey Hub

We want to assure you that The Hub will continue offering free delivery whenever you need it.

We deliver to all villages surrounding Wookey, as well as the Wells area as we have done since the first lockdown.

There are many ways in which you can pay and we promise that our prices will be as low as we can make them.

We are still offering all our usual local produce from breads, meats, fish, refill milk, dairy products, and fruit and vegetables, as well as our greatly increased range to suit alternative dietary requirements, alongside your every day products like the ever popular toilet roll and pasta. We also now sell papers which you can add to your delivery.

You will be able to collect any advance orders at a time to suit you. The shop will remain open with a one in one out system as it does currently.

The cafe will continue to offer takeaway drinks and cakes, but unfortunately you will not be allowed to sit in our marquee to consume them.

We hope that we can encourage you to use us with our impeccable customer service (alongside our affectionate little bits of banter/abuse).

Remember that by using us you are also supporting lots of other small businesses too who are struggling throughout this situation like so many of us. Let's support local so local is here in the aftermath of this pandemic.

To place an order or for any enquiry please ring the Hub in 01749 672784, if the line is busy or not answered straight away please leave a message and we will ring you back.

This menu now means that you can have top quality restaurant food delivered to your door on the same day you order it.

We offer secure contactless payment and all food is prepared in a Covid-secure environment.

We are a small but busy independent business who employs lots of local staff, buys locally and cater locally.

Orders can be placed any day of the week for delivery Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
