Our review
Root Kitchen offers frozen plant-based ready meals delivered across the UK, and its standout feature is value: at £4 a meal with free delivery, it's one of the more affordable ways to keep a freezer stocked with vegan food. Meals come in boxes of 6 to 10, and you can buy as a one-off or set up a flexible subscription, so there's no pressure to commit. The frozen format is the key consideration. It's brilliant for convenience and reducing waste, letting you cook only what you need, when you need it, but it does require freezer space and won't appeal to anyone who prefers fresh or chilled meals. Many dishes are labelled gluten free as well as fully plant-based, which broadens the appeal for those with dietary needs. The main caveat is transparency: per-meal calories and protein aren't published, so if you're tracking macros closely you'll want to check the detail at checkout before ordering. For everyday plant-based eating on a budget, though, the combination of £4 meals, free delivery and no obligatory subscription is genuinely competitive. It suits busy vegans and households wanting easy, low-cost meals to fall back on, rather than those after a premium chef-cooked experience or fresh recipe-kit cooking. Confirm box sizes and delivery timing at checkout to match your needs.
