Chinese takeaway subscription service comes to Congleton
Have you ever wanted to cook like a Chinese takeaway at home?
No matter how many cookbooks you buy, you just can't quite get that takeaway taste, but a new service for our town aims to solve that issues!
Wok's For Dinner, is the reimagining of a takeaway which recently closed after 38 years, and was enjoyed by Congleton families.
Wok's Cooking, despite being based eight miles away from our town Macclesfield, had such a good reputation that they delivered to Congleton.
Despite their closure over landlord issues, the flavour of the company has made a rousing comeback in a new food box subscription service.
Wok's for Dinner is a brand new online business. Which makes you cook your favourite Chinese takeaway meals at home, with recipes from the ex-takeaway.
"We have re-invented Wok's Cooking into something that caters for the growing changes in habits with food, especially since Coronavirus," said Jennifer of Wok's For Dinner.
"We noticed that there was a gap in the market, when placed next to giants, such as Hello Fresh and Gousto, but there were no online food delivery boxes, which catered for East Asian & South Asian recipes specifically.
"Wok's For Dinner aims to fill this gap in the market and we're starting off with our locals first!
"We currently only deliver within Congleton, Macclesfield, and the surrounding areas.
"We know this food box is a massive change from takeaways, which is what our customers expected.
"However, we do really believe that once customers start to see how the food boxes work, we'll gain more traction and they'll want to get involved with learning to cook takeaways in the comfort of their own home.
"Our recipes are easy-to-follow with six simple steps."
There are multiple food plans to order from. The three plans feed families of two, four, and six respectively.
Your box will contain a recipe with instructions and ingredients. You can also choose the frequency of how often you'd like to cook your favourite Wok's dish.
For example, a weekly delivery of Salt and Pepper Crispy Chicken for a family of six costs £33.55.
But you can switch your meal of choice as time goes by. And there aren't just meat options. There are options for vegans, vegetarians, and pescatarians.
They cater for other dietary requirements as well, such as gluten-intolerance or lactose-intolerance, and there are also lighter options.
"We allow our customers the choice of ordering a one-off delivery boxes or a regular subscription (weekly, fortnightly or once-monthly)," added Jennifer.
"They're in full control and they get to pick their delivery date and we'll get to work to pack up the fresh ingredients and deliver it to their door.
"You can also cancel the subscription at anytime, so no commitment is required from the customer.
As we grow, we'll look into expanding further afield and hopefully nationwide!
"As well as Macclesfield town centre, we currently deliver to Congleton, Macclesfield, Tytherington, Bollington, Prestbury, Bosley, Poynton, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow.
"The postcodes that we are currently delivering to are: CW12 1, CW12 2, CW12 3, CW12 4, CW12 9, CW4 7.
"We are also delivering to SK10 1, SK10 2, SK10 3, SK10 4, SK10 5, SK10 9, SK11 0, SK11 6, SK11 7, SK11 8, SK11 9, SK9 1, SK9 2, SK9 3, SK9 4, SK9, 4, SK9 5, SK9 6, SK9 7, SK7 4 and SK12 1."
