Field Doctor: personalised frozen meals for your health needs

Field Doctor is a UK company that makes frozen meals designed by dietitians and cooked by chefs, with home delivery. Its approach is built on personalisation: customers choose a meal plan tailored to their health goals from more than 60 available dishes.

Eating for health conditions and goals

The company organises its range into specific categories. These include gluten-free, low FODMAP, high protein, weight management, gut health, heart health, reduce tiredness and fatigue, and options for those looking for the lowest calorie or lower carb choices. It also offers a Mediterranean range, a programme called "Eat Well, Live Well", and menus aimed at GLP-1, IBS, PMOS (formerly known as PCOS), menopause and heart health. There is also a smaller range and gift cards.

Personalisation process and how the service works

The ordering system starts with a few questions to get to know you and build a personalised menu. You then choose a delivery day, either recurring or one-off. Meals are flash frozen to lock in nutrients and delivered to your door. All you have to do is heat and eat in minutes. The subscription lets you swap meals, skip weeks or pause at any time, with no lock-in. You can also place a one-off order without a subscription.

Scientific basis and team

The company states that all its ingredients are chosen based on evidence-based nutritional research and that every dish is designed by its in-house dietitian, Laura Tilt, Head of Science. The team also includes Matt Williamson as Head of Food, Martin Dewey as CEO and co-founder, Alex Brooks as CCO and co-founder, Ben Hawker as Director of Technology, Clare Lovering as Head of Finance, Simon Dury as Head of Operations, Marion Queffurus as Head of Growth and Lauren Donaldson as Customer Service Manager.

Ingredients and preparation

The chefs prepare dishes using local, seasonal produce, cooked in small batches. Flash freezing is used to preserve freshness. Most meals are gluten-free and nut-free, and there is a range of vegetarian and vegan options.

Recognition and reviews

According to the company itself, The Telegraph rated its meals as the UK's best healthy ready meals. The website states that 9 out of 10 people feel better after eating its dishes and that 99% of customers say looking after their health is easier. The company says it helps thousands of people.

As well as ordering online, you can request a free brochure with the latest menu or place your order by phone through the customer service team. The company has an affiliate programme, NHS discounts and a workplace wellness service.
