Patients, staff and visitors at Mount Vernon Hospital and Hillingdon Hospital now have the option to get a cooked meal from a range of vegetarian, vegan and high protein dishes, any time of day or night, every day of the year.
Meals, which cost £3.50 and can be purchased from the machine using cash, contactless card or Apple Pay include, all-day breakfast, beef chilli con carne and chicken tikka masala.
The food is ordered using a touch-screen system, after which the machine takes one minute heating up in an integrated microwave oven before dispensing.
A spokesman for The Hillingdon Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said it ensures the meals are all naturally gluten free and suitable for coeliacs, using 100% natural ingredients and free from artificial flavours, colours and preservatives.
