Real food from local home cooks.
Real Mamas. Your neighbourhood.
GetMamas connects you with authentic home-cooked meals made by verified, council-registered home cooks. We’re preparing to launch in Manchester — ordering isn’t open yet, so join the launch list and be first to discover local Mamas near you.

Examples of what verified home cooks will be able to offer when we open your neighbourhood.
No Mamas are live near you yet
We’re preparing to launch one Manchester neighbourhood at a time. Join the local list and we’ll let you know when verified home cooks become available near you.
How it works
GetMamas is built around planned cooking, not instant takeaway — giving Mamas time to prepare fresh food without waste or overbooking.
Find a local Mama
Enter your postcode and discover verified home cooks preparing to serve your area.
Pre-order your meal
Choose an available day and collection or delivery window. Your food is prepared for your order.
Enjoy it freshly made
Collect from your Mama or choose local delivery when available.
Fresh food works better when it is planned.
Home cooks do not run factory kitchens. Pre-ordering helps each Mama buy carefully, cook the right number of portions and have your food ready at the agreed time.
Freshly prepared for the chosen day
Nothing sits waiting — your meal is cooked for the window you picked.
Better quality, less food waste
Mamas shop for the orders they actually have, not for guesswork.
Realistic capacity for every Mama
Each cook sets how much she can cook and hand over in a day.
Meet the people behind the food
Across Manchester, talented home cooks hold generations of recipes, skills and cultural knowledge. GetMamas gives them a trusted way to reach people nearby and build income from what they already do brilliantly.
No Mamas are registered yet — we’re opening applications now and reviewing every one by hand.

Food tells the story of where we come from.
We have lived, travelled and eaten in many different parts of the world. Everywhere we went, we discovered the same thing: every country, every city and every family tells its story through food.
Manchester is one of the most diverse cities in the world. The best biryani, dumplings, jollof rice or tagine may not be found in a restaurant — it may be prepared just a few doors away by a neighbour you have not met yet.
GetMamas opens the door between people who make extraordinary food and people who want to experience something authentic. We want to give talented home cooks the opportunity to share the dishes they are proud of in a safe, trusted and responsible way.
Because a recipe is rarely just a recipe. It is a memory. An identity. A language that can be shared without words.
