Delicious vegan meals!
Tasty and great value meals. I occasionally eat meat but try to eat vegan meals as much as possible. Grubby has taught me lots of new recipes. If you like meat, try a recipe with Fable meaty mushrooms - tastes exactly like steak!

I had a problem with my order for next week and it was really quickly handled and sorted by Matilda. Thanks

I’ve really enjoyed trying Grubby! The recipes are tasty, the portions are generous, and everything I’ve made so far has been great. I also love that Grubby collaborates with other companies (like Symplicity, who make mushroom mince) - it’s a fun way to try something new. There’s a wide variety of dishes to choose from, and I find the packaging very convenient: each recipe comes neatly packed in a single bag with everything needed for two meals, so it’s easy to just pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
That said, the packaging is a bit of a mixed bag (no pun intended!). While convenient, sometimes sturdier items like cans can squash more delicate produce - I’ve had a couple of tomatoes turn up damaged or even mouldy. I’d also appreciate illustrated recipe cards, as the current text-heavy layout can be a little hard to follow at times.
My biggest sticking point, though, is the price. It’s noticeably higher than similar services, and on top of that, some recipes come with extra charges. Given that plant-based ingredients are usually cheaper than meat, this feels a bit surprising (perhaps it’s down to economies of scale). If the cost were about 20–25% lower, I’d happily stick with it long-term.
Overall, Grubby offers delicious, creative meals and a great variety of plant-based options - just a few tweaks on packaging, pricing, and recipe cards would make it perfect!

I have been getting Grubby boxes for well over a year now and I'm still not bored. They have such a good selection of meals and are always adding new things.
Having recipe boxes takes away a lot of the mental load of planning, shopping and making meals, amd has really cut down on my food waste.
Their customer service is excellent - any minor mishaps have been quickly, happily, and generously corrected.
I had only planned on getting the boxes for a few weeks during a busy time of my life but here I am! I've learned a few tofu tricks along the way (and had tempeh I enjoyed eating for the first time ever).

The meals pass all expectations every time. The flavours and textures are better than most restaurants!

Loving the meals.

Veg/salad sometimes not its best

The owner/founder have to understand that people are paying for your brain, your chef level experience, your organisational skills, your timely delivery of some basic ingredient which is fraction of the cost. There is nothing wrong with paying a premium for cheap ingredients - I am mom with a full time job, I am paying just so I can let my brain rest after work and mindlessly follow a recipe.

I am not paying for an amateur telling people to put soy sauce and nutritional yeast in everything!!!

Both of the recipe I tried feels like what a uni student first time away from home come up with! Experimental, randomly invented way of cooking some rather simple sauce!

There's something wrong if your recipe for Bolognese sauce and Swedish meatball sauce have so much in common:

- Bolognese - Veg Stock, Tamari, Nutritional Yeast, Tomato Puree
- Swedish Meatball - Veg Stock, Tamari, Nutritional Yeast, Dijon Mustard, cooked with diced onions

I made the Bolognese first, already shocked that they are not using fresh tomatoes, or at least, tinned tomatoes... It just taste of salt and nothing else, even when I added lots of sugar to balance it out. I had to bulk it up with more than double the amount of pasta (because I do not have extra gnocchi at home), and now I have a whole fridge of awful tasting, bland pasta/gnocchi Bolognese.

When I cooked the Swedish meatball, I was careful enough to put only half the veg stock, Tamari and nutritional yeast. It still taste exactly the same as the Bolognese, very salty and no other flavour. I added an extra spoonful of my own Dijon mustard, another blended and fried (not diced) onion, 1/3 box of soy cream and some honey. My addition made the flavour more interesting but the intense saltiness is still overbearing. I was ok to eat it, but my partner and my kid left it.

Also why are you asking me to make my own Swedish meatball from some vege sausages, which is a complicated mission. But just to boil some fresh beans for 4 minutes?!!

If people order a food box from you, they are not asking for to make meatballs (a product that can be bought ready made) from sausage (another product that can also be bought ready made). just give them some vege meatball. Research the proper way to make a professional swedish sauce from scratch, and get people to pan fry the beans which also just take 4 mins but 100 times tastier!

Still have a couple of meal to try. But I will definitely research a proper recipe and use my own ingredients, so essentially, I am doing both the organisation and the ingredients gathering myself. Totally don't see the point of ordering this.

Loved the boxes we have had, really tasty.

Fantastic food and recipees,and not too long to prepare. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Good recipes, good value.

Great, easy food option! All vegan, all right amounts and easy to follow. PLUS THEY TASTE GREAT!

Lovely fresh food with different options every week. Recipes are easy to follow and most meals are quick to make. Really enjoy ordering from here 😊

Really good to have interesting meals to cook and so far all has been very tasty and no waste either . Packaging is very good and very little plastic .

I love the recipes. Im vegan, my son is a carnivore and has happily joined me eating every recipe.
I love that they are biiiiig portions and super tasty

Really enjoying the Grubby meals - so much choice and all the meals are very straightforward to prep and the recipes are very tasty.

I have had endless issues with my boxes. Missing ingredients, gone off ingredients (happens often) and most boxes the ice pack is defrosted and leaks all over the box making spoiling the box. Today box I had ordered extras which were all spoiled by the defrosted ice pack.

Not great customer service either, it’s like they aren’t wanting to keep your custom. I give up now and whilst the boxes are convenient they aren’t worth the money!

The recipes are easy to follow and every single one I've tried has been delicious. Restaurant quality food prepared by myself to enjoy in my own house.

The meals are always imaginative and not repetitive. When I’ve needed help, support have been great and speedy. The quality is excellent and deliveries have been easy.

Great recipes that are super easy to follow and the ingredients last well. Really balanced and can select for higher protein when needed.

Great company and fantastic meal boxes. I’ve been a customer for over 4 years now and am continually impressed with the variety and quality of the recipes they provide. Any issues are always dealt with quickly and effectively. Overall would (and often do) highly recommend getting involved!

Love the mix of different vegan options and the fact that most can be prepared and cooked within 30-40 minutes. Also love the fact that there is minimal packaging (requirement for a clove of garlic gets you a fresh garlic bulb unlike some other home meal offerings). Recently enjoyed the mash up with Mildreds as it is one of my go to restaurants and I also love the Bosh offerings. A couple of times I have had a missing or substandard ingredient but both times I was contacted within 24 hours by customer service who offered a satisfactory resolution. Can't ask for more than that.
