Milton Keynes food firm’s coronavirus self-isolation service
Yumchop foods make delicious home-cooked meals full of flavours from around the world from their base in Milton Keynes, and hopes the service can offer a lifeline to people during the Coronavirus outbreak.
The family-run company produces its food in a safe, controlled environment. It provides nutritious meals frozen rapidly to preserve the taste, texture and quality: their dishes, which range from juicy Jerk Chicken to authentic Turkey Bolognese with Spaghetti, are free from added colourings, artificial flavours or preservatives, and cater for different dietary requirements including vegan and halal.
“ The impact of Coronavirus is a major national need,” says Abi Adefisan, co-founder with her husband Michael. “Many people have ended up in isolation due to the need to protect the community and the vulnerable. We want to ensure that we can provide support where we can, especially for the elderly, the vulnerable and those with children who are being told to stay indoors.”
As well as offering free delivery within the Milton Keynes, and Northampton area, Yumchop are also offering discounts for bulk buys and special offers for the over-60s.

With prices starting at £2.50, their meals offer great value for money. Other items on the menu include:
Barbecue Jerk Chicken Wings Barbecue Jerk Boneless Chicken Fried Rice with mixed vegetables and Jerk Chicken Jollof Rice and Jerk Chicken Coconut Rice with mixed vegetables and Jerk Chicken Vegan meals
“We are looking to help give people access to healthy meals,” says Abi, who has also established a Yumchop Automatic vending machine to improve access to hot meals for hard working healthcare staff at Kettering General Hospital.
The company was established with the aim of giving those with busy lifestyles a chance to eat well: Yumchop uses a special flash-freezing technique to ensure that food retains its freshness and, when reheated, tastes just like a fresh dish.
And it’s not just those who are self-isolating who might benefit from a home-cooked meal brought to their house; we want to take off the worry for anyone feeling overwhelmed!
“Because our food is freshly cooked then frozen with shelf life of up to 18 months, people can pop it in the freezer and take it out when they need it; the food is literally ready in minutes with clear instructions to re-heat it,” she adds.
