Pick up dinner at Monkton Elm Garden Centre

At My Local Indian we are always looking for new opportunities to bring our range of delicious frozen Indian meals ‘closer to home’ by offering customers the chance to pop in and purchase in person as well as order online for next day home delivery. We are delighted to announce that our authentic Indian dishes, frozen fresh and ready to heat up at home are now available to purchase in the brand new farm shop at Monkton Elm Garden Centre, Somerset’s award-winning destination garden centre of choice!

Brand New Farm Shop at Monkton Elm

Monkton Elm and My Local Indian share the same passion for fresh, premium and locally produced food which makes our partnership all the more exciting! Recently opened, the spacious Farm Shop was created to be able to provide the community with a wide range of premium, fresh and where possible local produce, as well as high quality frozen ready meals. Whether you are looking to purchase dairy or bakery items, fruit and vegetables, local beers, wines and spirits, or a convenient and flavoursome meal to enjoy at home, the Farm Shop has it all.

Fresh from our Taunton kitchen to yours

The entire range of My Local Indian starters, main courses, side dishes and desserts are chef prepared in our Taunton kitchen, using the freshest quality ingredients and recipes handed down through the generations. As we blast freeze our dishes straight after cooking, all the flavour and texture of our meals are sealed in until you are ready to enjoy them at home.

Put your taste buds to the test

Until now, convenience has always involved compromise – both of quality and taste, but we can assure you that once you’ve tried our quality frozen meals, there’ll be no going back to the ready (dready?) meals you’ve put up with in the past. The team at Monkton Elm were keen to ensure our dishes were of premium quality – here’s what they had to say about our range:

"So many big pieces of meat, not like the little nuggets you get in normal ready meals"

"My kitchen smelt just like an indian restaurant while I was warming them in the oven"

"It's great that there are side dishes and items like nan bread and different rice to choose from"

Shared passion for the Environment

Running our business in an environmentally sensitive way is at the heart of our operation, and right from the start of our business preparation we took the decision to make our products and processes as eco-friendly as possible. We undertook lengthy research and trials to ensure that we could deliver superior quality products to our customers, whilst keeping in mind our carbon footprint.

We ensure we are not adding to the vast amount of plastic and non-recyclable packaging that some food producers, takeaways and supermarkets churn out. Our entire packaging is made up of biodegradable/compostable or recyclable materials and this is true whether you are ordering Indian food online for home delivery, using click and collect, or if you are purchasing in person from our stockists or outlets.

Monkton Elm has a very similar environmental ethos, and considers its climate impact at every step. As well as a focus on local and sustainable we were delighted to learn that each year the team recycle over 7 tonnes of cardboard and 2 ½ tonnes of soft plastic.

Monkton Elm Garden Centre is open 7 days a week and the new food hall is definitely worth a visit alongside the wonderful selection of plants, gardening equipment, gifts, pet centre and of course their famous Elm Tree restaurant. Don’t forget to pick up your dinner from the My Local Indian freezer when you visit!
