The Urban Kitchen delivers nutritionally balanced meals straight to your desk or door. The meal boxes are freshly prepared by hand every morning, using seasonal produce that is locally and ethically-sourced and delivered by human power (cyclists).

Each delicious meal is packed with protein, macro and micro-nutrients to support and improve your body and mind. Created by head chef Toral, who has an MSc in Nutritional Medicine and is Cordon Bleu trained, they provide nourishment to anyone who wants to build strength, lose weight sensibly, and boost their general wellbeing without eating ordinary ‘diet food.’ Healthy food can, and should, taste good.

Customers can either order from the menu for same day delivery or sign up for a bespoke nutritional plan designed by Toral which includes personalised meals including everything from wild boar to miso cod all tailored to suit the individual’s exact macro requirements.

The Urban Kitchen also provides catering for corporate meetings and other events, including healthy sharing platters and canapés.
