Meals on Wheels

Our Service
Do you, or someone you know, have difficulty getting out to buy food, or to cook at home?

Nidderdale Meals on Wheels has a service that can answer those needs. On Tuesday and Wednesday each week (Wednesday only in Pateley Bridge), freshly cooked, hot two-course meals, made at The Dusty Miller in Low Laithe, can be brought to your home by our local volunteers.
