“I do not cook yet so I want healthy and tasty meal options that are reasonably priced. The cost of some of their meals are less than I sometimes pay for lunch or dinner. This is the place for me. Plus they deliver to home or work!”

ABOUT US
Our Story – Nourishing People
Local. Handmade. Family Owned Small Business
Back in 2000, we started with one chef, a pickup truck, a bunch of pots and pans and a mission-to bring delicious, nutritious meals to the people who need them. After a long career in fine restaurants, Chef Paul Finney started October Kitchen as a personal chef service. Every day began with a trip to the market for fresh ingredients to prepare custom menus for individual clients and families. Cooking in their homes, his clients became like family.
But there are only so many people you can cook for in a day. After ten years he took a great leap of faith and moved the business into a full commercial production kitchen. With our original forty clients, a lot of faith, family, friends, a small team of dedicated people, some luck and lots of hard work we have grown to serve over four thousand households in central Connecticut. Our retail store is a beacon for folks who need healthy, delicious meals and more, ready to go, right out the door!
What We Do
We now have a large, newly expanded location and a growing team of twenty - chefs, cooks, drivers, packagers, packers, administrators, and customer service staff. We offer fresh new menus every week and a curated collection of flash frozen favorites that are sure to please everybody. We cook fresh daily and are on a mission to provide delicious, nutritious meals to everyone who struggles in the kitchen or lacks the time or skills to create tasty, nutritious meals.
In a culture obsessed with convenience and technology we stick to our mission: our customers are family to us, and we treat them that way and feed them that way. With lovingly hand-crafted well-balanced meals that feed the soul as well as the body. We specialize in a weekly delivery service, especially to those who need heart healthy or lower sodium meals as well as a variety of other dietary concerns.
We are humbled to have become an integral part of so many individuals and family’s healthy lifestyle and are proud to do everything we can to keep our extended family happy, well-fed, independent and strong. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this story possible.
With Love,
The October Kitchen Family

What Our Customers Say
“Love the meals, tuna casserole, chicken pot pie, turkey divan all delicious. I had gastric bypass and need small meals, these are nutritious and one serving is two for me. Perfect to pop in the microwave. Great job!”
Sharon G.
“Your meals are the single reason I can spend more time with my family after work! All I have to do is put it in the oven, and forget about it. The meals cook while I play with my son”
Christine L.
“Paul at October Kitchen already does everything for you and you just need to heat it up and eat. They use less salt and seasonings, so its good for everyone; "You can always add it, but you can't take it out."”
