🌿 What is Grubby?

Grubby is the UK’s first 100% plant-based recipe box. Each week, you pick from a rotating menu of flavour-packed vegan meals – all delivered with fresh, pre-portioned ingredients and zero animal products. Whether you’re a full-time vegan or just trying to cut down on meat, Grubby makes it easy (and tasty).

🥘 Grubby Meals Reviews – Our Honest Take

🌶️ Creamy Harissa Chickpeas

This one completely stole the show. The chickpeas were simmered in a rich tomato and coconut base, laced with warming North African harissa spice – not too hot, just the right level of smoky heat. The sweetness from the roasted red peppers balanced the heat beautifully, and the finished dish had a velvety texture you’d expect from something that had simmered for hours (but it only took 25 minutes). Served over fluffy bulgur wheat and topped with fresh parsley, it was comforting, filling, and surprisingly indulgent for a plant-based dish.

Verdict: A knockout. We’d happily eat this every week.

🥜 Satay Noodles with Crunchy Slaw

Bold, peanutty, and full of texture. The satay sauce was a perfect blend of umami soy, garlic, ginger, lime juice and peanut butter – properly coating every noodle strand without going gloopy. We loved the crunch of the raw red cabbage and carrot slaw on top, which added freshness and bite to the dish. A squeeze of lime lifted everything and made the dish sing. The roasted peanuts scattered on top added a welcome bit of richness.

Verdict: A super satisfying midweek dinner with restaurant-level flavour.

🍛 Spinach & Chickpea Masala

Rich, creamy, and deeply spiced – this dish felt like a proper curry-house treat. The tomato-based masala sauce had layers of flavour: warming garam masala, earthy cumin, a whisper of cinnamon and smoky paprika, all rounded out by coconut cream. The chickpeas soaked up the sauce brilliantly and the spinach added a touch of colour and bitterness to balance the richness. We served it with the included rice and a side of naan we had in the freezer – absolute perfection.

Verdict: Possibly the best vegan curry we’ve ever cooked at home.

🍜 Teriyaki Tofu Stir Fry

This one was a speed demon – prepped and cooked in under 20 minutes, but still full of flavour. The tofu was pre-marinated and crisped up well in the pan. The teriyaki sauce had the right balance of sweet and salty with a lovely hit of ginger. There were loads of fresh crunchy veg (carrots, peppers, mangetout) that stayed vibrant and crisp after cooking. It all came together over a bed of wholegrain noodles and was polished off faster than any of the others.

Verdict: Fresh, quick and packed with umami – a great lighter option.

🍆 Smoky Aubergine Pasta

This was proper cosy food. The aubergine softened beautifully in the oven, taking on a sweet, smoky flavour thanks to paprika and tomato paste. The sauce was rich and clingy – think slow-cooked vibe without the wait. Tossed through al dente penne and topped with toasted seeds and fresh basil, this dish felt indulgent without being heavy. We added a cheeky grating of vegan parmesan on top and it was genuinely lush.

Verdict: A winter warmer you’ll want to eat year-round.
