An independent Tyldesley kitchen making food that loves you back.
MCR Food Works Limited started with one stubborn idea: that eating well shouldn't mean eating boring. So we built a kitchen in Tyldesley that cooks real, macro-counted food from scratch — the kind you actually look forward to.
Treat-yourself-but-healthy is the whole point. Big flavour, honest numbers on the box, and nothing in it you'd be embarrassed to read out loud.

40g
protein / box
Fresh
not frozen
From the market to your box, all in a day.
There's no warehouse, no central factory, no week-old trays. Just a short, honest journey — and you can taste every step of it.
Sourced fresh
We shop tight and local — proper veg, lean cuts, good carbs. Nothing sits in a freezer for a fortnight waiting to be reheated.
Prepped that morning
Everything is cooked in our Tyldesley kitchen the same day it goes out. Real pans, real hobs, real heat — not a meal-deal off a shelf.
Macro-counted
Every dish is weighed and logged — protein, carbs and fat printed right on the box. You eat for your goal without doing the maths.
Collect or delivered
Order by Saturday 2pm and pick it up — or have the week dropped to your door Sunday and Monday. Sorted before the week even starts.
Four things we'll never cut corners on.
We're a small kitchen, so we can be fussy. These are the rules we cook by — every box, every week.
Independent & family-run in Tyldesley.
Real ingredients
Food you can pronounce. We cook from scratch — no powders, no mystery sauces, no shortcuts that taste like them.
Macros on every dish
Calories and full macros on the box, every time. Hitting a target shouldn't mean weighing your own dinner.
Fresh weekly
A menu that turns over week to week and is made the day it leaves us. Treat-yourself food that still earns its place in your week.
Local to Tyldesley
An independent kitchen on Elliott Street — not a chain, not a franchise. Real people you can actually pop in and see.
The promise, in numbers.
No clever marketing maths — just the standards we hold ourselves to every single week.
“Finally, healthy food that doesn't taste like a punishment. The macros on the box mean I can actually stick to my goals without thinking about it.”
“I order the week on Saturday and forget about lunch til it lands. Tastes like a treat, hits my protein, and it's all local. Unreal.”
