What we liked

  • 100% vegan - the only mainstream UK kit that is fully plant-based
  • Strong nutrition framing (high protein and fibre)
  • Per-portion price falls as the box grows
  • B Corp; donates a meal per box

What could be better

  • Vegan only - no use to mixed or meat-eating households
  • Pricier per portion than omnivore kits at scale
  • Weekday-only (Mon-Fri) delivery
  • Premium dishes carry a small surcharge

Packaging & ethics

  • Certified B Corp
  • Recyclable packaging

Packaging: Mostly recyclable and compostable packaging; low-carbon delivery.

Sourcing: 100% plant-based; donates a meal per box.

Grubby is the UK's leading fully vegan recipe kit. The entire menu is 100% plant-based, which sets it apart from the mainstream kits that treat vegan as one filter among many. Boxes arrive as pre-portioned ingredients you cook in roughly 15 to 35 minutes.

Pricing runs from about £5.75 to £7.25 per portion at full price, with the per-portion cost falling as you add more meals to the box. That is pricier than an omnivore kit at scale, but for plant-based cooks the comparison is really about variety and convenience rather than the lowest possible cost.

It is a B Corp, donates a meal for every box sold, and uses low-carbon delivery. The obvious limitation is that the vegan-only menu is no use to a mixed household.

Our hands-on notes: [To add - first-hand experience: portion sizes, how it cooked/tasted, packaging, and whether we would reorder.]

Frequently asked questions

Is Grubby fully vegan?

Yes - the entire Grubby menu is 100% plant-based, which makes it the main pick if you want a dedicated vegan recipe kit rather than vegan options bolted onto an omnivore menu.

Is Grubby good value?

At full price it is mid-to-upper for a recipe kit, and the per-portion cost drops as you add meals. For vegan households it is the leading option; mixed households will get less use from it.
