Grubby, a new player in the plant-based food scene, is now offering meal kits and ready meals in Birmingham. The brand aims to make vegan eating convenient and delicious, catering to both seasoned vegans and those looking to reduce their meat intake.
What is Grubby?
Grubby is a plant-based food service that delivers meal kits and ready-to-eat meals. Their menu features a variety of dishes, from hearty stews to spicy curries, all made without animal products. The company sources ingredients locally where possible, supporting Birmingham's local food economy.
Meal Kits
The meal kits come with pre-measured ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes. Customers can choose from options like the 'Smoky Mac and Greens' or 'Thai Green Curry'. Each kit serves two and takes around 20-30 minutes to prepare. The packaging is recyclable, aligning with Grubby's eco-friendly ethos.
Ready Meals
For those short on time, Grubby's ready meals are a convenient option. Simply heat and serve. Popular choices include 'Lentil Bolognese' and 'Chickpea Tikka Masala'. These meals are packed with protein and fiber, making them a nutritious choice.
Taste and Quality
In a taste test, the meals impressed with their bold flavors and satisfying textures. The 'Smoky Mac and Greens' had a rich, cheesy taste without any dairy, while the 'Thai Green Curry' was aromatic and spicy. The ready meals were equally good, with the 'Lentil Bolognese' being a standout for its hearty, meaty texture.
Value for Money
Meal kits are priced at around £10-12 per kit, which is competitive with other meal delivery services. Ready meals cost about £5-7 each, slightly higher than supermarket options but justified by the quality and convenience.
Where to Get Grubby
Grubby meals are available for delivery across Birmingham. Orders can be placed through their website, with delivery slots available several times a week. The company also plans to partner with local retailers for in-store sales.
Final Verdict
Grubby offers a compelling option for Birmingham residents seeking tasty, plant-based meals. With a focus on local ingredients and sustainable packaging, it's a great choice for eco-conscious consumers. Whether you're a vegan or just curious, Grubby is worth a try.
