How it works
Real home-cooked food, made simple
Simmr connects home cooks with hungry neighbours. Eaters discover and order genuine home cooking; cooks run their whole food business in one place. Here's how both sides work.
For eaters
Find a kitchen near you
Browse local home cooks by cuisine, dietary needs (Veg, Halal, Jain, Vegan and more) or your postcode. Check their Food Hygiene Rating and real reviews before you order.
Order or subscribe
Order a one-off meal from the daily menu, add sides and extras, or set up a weekly tiffin subscription for the days you want — meals are then created automatically each morning.
Collect or get it delivered
Choose pickup or local delivery, pay securely by card or with cash on collection, and get email / WhatsApp / SMS updates as your order is cooked and on its way.
Enjoy & review
Tuck into freshly made home cooking, then leave a rating to help your neighbours — and save your favourites for one-tap reordering.
More than a takeaway
Home cooking you can't get anywhere else — with the conveniences you expect.
Tiffin subscriptions
Set your days once and fresh meals just arrive — pause or skip anytime.

Food safety & allergensFair on payments
Pay by card online or cash on collection. Simmr takes no commission on orders — cooks pay a simple flat monthly fee, so more of every sale stays with the person who cooked your food.
Pricing for cooksFrequently asked questions
What is Simmr?+
Simmr is a UK marketplace for home-cooked food. Local home cooks and tiffin providers run their own storefront with daily menus, and you can order real home-cooked meals one-off or by weekly subscription.
How is this different from a takeaway or restaurant?+
Every dish is cooked at home by a real local cook, often regional or family recipes you won't find in restaurants. You order directly from the cook, frequently for next-day collection or delivery.
Can I get a daily tiffin subscription?+
Yes. Many kitchens offer recurring tiffin plans — pick the days you want and an order is created automatically each morning. You can pause, skip or cancel anytime from your account.
Is the food safe and are allergens listed?+
Kitchens display their official UK Food Hygiene Rating (FHRS) where available, and every dish lists its allergens in line with UK food law. Always check allergen information before ordering if you have allergies.
How do I pay?+
You can pay by card at checkout, or choose cash on collection/delivery where the cook offers it. Simmr never takes a cut of your order.
