Real Stories, Real Satisfaction

"Hi, just wanted to say how impressed we are with the frozen meals that we got at the Big Pineapple. We usually hate this type of mass produced food, but bought a few for convenience just to try out. To our surprise they are absolutely beautiful and if we don’t feel like cooking, they are as good as going out to a restaurant only a fraction of the price. They are really tasty and great value. Keep up the good work. Cheers"

"I would like to send a big congratulations on your awesome, tasty and healthy meals. Hubby and I are both shift workers, and often have to eat at different times, this used to mean that instead of cooking we would eat 'fast food' (read takeaways). Since discovering your service, we now have even faster food - but it is healthy, tasty and a much better "fit" with our lifestyle. Also - as an added benefit - with us now both having proper portion control, Hubby has lost 16kg and I have lost 14kg. (over only 3 months)! And with the great delivery service, we don't even need to find time to shop! You guys rock - and I extend a huge THANK YOU for restoring some balance to our lives."

"Just like to say a big thank you for the lovely meals we have been receiving. We run a small business so time to shop and then cook good healthy meals is something we lack, which is why we really appreciate your lovely home cooked dinners. Thanks again"

"On behalf of the Fraser Lions, I would like to pass on our thanks to you for the terrific job with the catering well done."

"I wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate the wonderful service that I receive, there is never any hassle and being in Gunalda has had no restriction to deliveries, I tell everyone I know about your business and the brilliant service. Being able to purchase and pay online makes my life easier and I know that everything will go smoothly. Again many thanks... ps when are you going to do calorie controlled meals... that would be excellent."

"Living on a Blind Pension, I have always found it difficult to cook and prepare my main meal of the day. When I moved up from NSW, i initially used the local Meals on Wheels, but found the food was too bland, and cooked indifferently from one week to the next. When Hearty Foods came along, I decided to give it a try, and have been a loyal customer ever since. I find the menu is quite varied, delicious and excellently prepared at a very reasonable cost. Provided they keep up both the quality and variety, I will always be a very happy customer."

"I will drive a 100km for Hearty's prepacked frozen meals, roast lamb is divine, as is satay chicken, chicken florentine and cacciatore and apricot chicken, take your esky mate and stock up. Healthy meals at a burger and chips price. Too good, this chef is great!! Treat your friends and family, they will love you!!!"

"Excellent food, excellent service, a brilliant concept needed by the Fraser Coast"

"We live in a village & just had a street party with 35 people they delivered the varied meals with desserts on time & piping hot, the overall result was outstanding value & taste coupled with excellent service, Highly recommended."

"Brilliant – we are regular customers. Love the friendly staf, brilliant service & deliciuos food."

"Very well cooked food. well presented. Absolutely delicious. Very friendly STAFF. quite happy to deliver. Staff and shop are always spotless."

"I have been very pleasantly suprised by the quality of the prepared meals, they are like resaurent meals with the convenience of a meal prepared at home. The variety is tremendous with a great range of different meals covering various national cuisines. The meals also come in different sizes to suit different nutritional needs. The deserts also deserve a very positive mention, they are Delicious. In summary the meals rate as the best frozen meals I have ever tried, and I have had a few over my 62 years, a huge thumbs up..."

"Best nutritious meals in the bay. Excellent value, very affordable. Friendly and courteous service."

"Good food! Healthy, quick and convenient - very happy"

"Meals very tasty and fresh. Good variety to choose from. Price reasonable. Perfect way to relax and enjoy easy, nutritious meals while on holidays."

"I have just enjoyed the most delicious lamb dish. (Hearty Foods – Moroccan Lamb) The flavours were out of this world and the lamb melted in my mouth. My partner had the Satay Chicken which she said was very tasty and the chicken was extremely moist and tender. I would highly recommend their meals as a healthy alternative to take away. I also gladly offered to do the dishes which consisted of two knives and forks. Now it does not get much better than that! Thanks Hearty Foods."

"Cooking is the last thing on your mind when you’re is constant pain and hurt, a frozen meal is the best way. I have tried many frozen brands of frozen meals and they don’t taste any good until I came across hearty foods WOW! They are good meals very tasty and fresh, thank you Alex and Chantal. PS: Chantal don’t eat all my apple crumble and custard… lol."

"Excellent in all aspects- caring service, best take away meals, will deliver (free). Good variety to choose from. The only place to give the friendly, considerate service I have received in Hervey Bay."
