Had the sweet and sour vegan chicken which had been contaminated with a piece of real chicken popcorn. Obviously not made in a controlled environment. Had this several times before and is really nice but will not purchase plant kitchen products again. Either the products need to be made in a controllee place or workers messing around need the sack.

These meals are great!

These meals are great! My fave so far is the mac and cheese and greens. It's so delicious. I had it for lunch and dinner yesterday and honestly could have eaten the whole thing at once!
The meals are such good value and great portion sizes compared to all the other services I've tried. Plant Kitchen is the best by a long way.
I can't wait to try the other meals as well as the ones we already love.

What an amazing find!!

Why would you bother to cook when you can have delicious home cooked food delivered to your door.
The serves are very generous and so tasty - everyone who has tried the food just loves it and the ordering process is so easy.
I’m so pleased I came across this site and am looking forward to my next order so I can try more fantastic food. It’s great value for money and I love that the packaging is compostable and can be returned with future orders.
Duncan’s understanding of customer service is second to none. He replies extremely quickly and is happy to help with any questions that need answering.
A super company that meets all taste requirements - a great way to show your non vegan friends what they are missing out on!!

Hi Jenny, Thanks very much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so pleased that you have been enjoying the food - that always makes us very happy! It's good to know the compostable packaging is important to you too. It's something we're really passionate about and we're always looking to improve how sustainable we can make our service. It only works with the support of our customers returning their packaging so we can get it composted on their behalf, so thanks for your participation! We really appreciate your kind words. Let us know if you need anything. All the best, Alex and Duncan

A real alternative to home cooking - so happy it exists

We absolutely love the food and it has made our life much easier. We definitely like cooking but sometimes our lives are just too busy.
What we really value about The Plant Kitchen is:
1. Duncan's personal service and flexibility. No sales tactics, no plan you need to get on. You just order when you feel like it.
2. Value. We think the price is very fair for both the quality and quantity you get. We are two adults and a 14 year old, and one meal is usually enough for the three of us!
3. Taste. We try to limit our intake of animal products as our son is vegetarian. The plant kitchen meals are so tasty that you don't need to look at meat or fish. None of the meals have required any additional seasoning and the ingredients are of high quality.
4. Packaging. The packaging is either recyclable or compostable, so you don't need to feel bad about purchasing a ready made meal. We wish everyone would do this.
5. Labeling. It feels good to know you are eating real food with no unnecessary additives. It just happens to be prepared by someone else, but it is exactly the type of food we cook ourselves - good and natural ingredients.

Hi Sandra and Markus, I hope you are both well. Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review. You have really highlighted all of areas that are important to us as we create and evolve our service and we are so pleased to know that it makes your busy lives just a little bit easier. We're very lucky to have you as our customers and we can't thank you enough! ( I've also sent you a private email as I didn't want to be too gushing with my thanks in public!). See you soon, Duncan

Wonderful, easy, tasty meals!

I highly recommend The Plant Kitchen Co, for the following reasons:
1. Excellent value - portion sizes are very generous
2. The taste, variety and presentation of the food. Their dishes appeal to people who are meat eaters as well as those wishing to eat plant-based! Most of my friends and family aren't plant-based and I wouldn't hesitate to serve them Plant Kitchen meals (dishes like the pies and lasagne were perfect for 4-5 people). We love that the selection changes so that it's always interesting to see/try what's new on the menu.
3. You know exactly what you're eating - unlike many other businesses that provide prepared meals, the ingredients are recognisable and the vast majority of the food is not super processed. You won't see a huge ingredients list with lots of strange numbers.
4. Ease of communication and convenient delivery. The professionalism of Plant Kitchen can't be faulted. They're a pleasure to deal with and genuinely care about your experience.

So happy that this business was recommended to us (by another household that is not fully plant-based). It's made busy mid-week evenings so much more relaxed and enjoyable come dinner time!

Thank you very much for your detailed review! It was great to read that you highlighted many of the aims we are striving to create our service around - good value, delicious food for vegans and non-vegans alike, no nasty additives (and no plastic either), good service and convenient delivery. We know we still have a long way to go, and we appreciate you letting us know we are on the right path. We are always open to ideas and suggestions for improvement too, and we always love to hear from you. Thanks and best wishes, Duncan

Plant kitchen vegan meals are really delicious & heathy, very good sized servings for a family of 4-6, depending what you’ve ordered. They have the taste of being home cooked (just not by me) and pleasing to my fussy kids. Duncan & Alex cook & deliver at a pre arranged time that suits me.
Since Covid we choose not to go out, we find restaurant delivered food is far far more expensive and not as healthy or flavoursome as Plant Kitchen.
Plant kitchen has the quality of a good vegan restaurant so we can stay home eat and watch a movie.
Lasagna, mushroom pot pie, macaroni cheese are our favourite. The menu changes often and we’ve never had anything we did not like.
Bon appetite 🌱

Amazing food and great customer service

I’ve been wanting something like this for years - I have to admit I’m a lazy cook! The food is amazing and varied, the customer service is great, and even the packaging is environmentally friendly. We’ve ordered from other places before but none seem to offer meals as consistently tasty and wholesome as what we get from Plant Kitchen Co.

Excellent food, excellent service

I have been enjoying Plant Kitchen home cooked meals since ordering their Christmas hamper when I saw them at the Vegan markets last year. All my family was impressed with the tastiness of the food, even the meat eaters.
I have had ready made vegan meals in the past and although healthy, they weren’t tasty, and the amount of packaging didn’t sit well with me. Plant Kitchen uses minimal packaging and all of it can either be composted or recycled, this is a huge plus for me.
I haven’t worked my way through the menu yet, it’s quite extensive and I have my favourites but everything I’ve tried has been very tasty and has such a variety of ingredients I couldn’t be bothered making it. I love cooking but can’t make anything as tasty as I can get from Plant Kitchen. They’ll have me as customers for a long while.

Hi Anne, Thank you SO much for your lovely review. We are so thrilled that you and your family have been enjoying our food. That makes it all worth it!

I'm glad you mentioned the packaging. Having a plastic-free home delivery service was very important to us and using the latest compostable packaging has really made that possible. It's good to know it's important to you too. This is an area we will continue to work on and improve as it's always possible to do better.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave us a review and we look forward to seeing you again soon. All the best, Duncan

Super convenient and tasty vegan meals!

We've been ordering meals regularly from The Plant Kitchen Co for a few months and we're extremely happy with what we are receiving. My partner and I don't enjoy cooking or shopping and we both work long hours, so we tried a meal kit delivery service (not Plant Kitchen) and found that we were spending more than an hour preparing every meal and were not getting enough variety in dishes. The Plant Kitchen Co has ticked all of the boxes for us, because we love the convenience of having a meal delivery service that caters to a wide range of vegan tastes and we get to eat delicious, healthy food with minimal effort. We have our favourites, but there are also new dishes regularly being added to the menu so we get some variety in our meals too! We usually add our own side - a quick salad, some steamed veggies or rice - and we easily get 4 to 6 decent serves from each meal. In addition to the food, an added bonus has been the use of sustainable packaging. It is great to know that everything we receive is either recyclable or compostable. On top of all that, the customer services is fantastic. The delivery time frame is super quick and Duncan and Alex really go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. I definitely recommend The Plant Kitchen Co for the easiest and tastiest way to eat vegan meals!

Hi David, Thank you SO much for your lovely review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences and we're so pleased that you and your partner are enjoying the service. It's good to hear you list as benefits so many of the things that were important to us as we've been developing the service - good portion sizes, sustainable and plastic-free packaging, minimal effort and customer service. That's what we'd want from a service like this, and it's what we are trying to create. There's still so much we can improve on and we'll continue to improve every aspect of our service over the coming months. We really appreciate all your support!

Delicious, healthy & convenient!

I found the plant kitchen co on line when looking for some plant based food options for the vegans in my family. I’m so glad I did. Everything we have ordered has been delicious & we are continuing to work our way through the menu.( we had the Mexican mushroom epinadas the other night) I love the convenience of having a supply of healthy meals in the freezer that are quick & easy to prepare.
The service has been great too

We order our food regularly from The Plant Kitchen Co and highly recommend. We switched to a plant based diet earlier this year and have been challenged to find quick and easy meals on the lower north shore (very limited vegan restaurant options - so we looked for some home delivery options.

We were really after convenience and were really surprised at how yummy the food is from The Plant Based Kitchen. Easy Covid Safe deliveries, great after sales service, yummy food and good value for money. The only challenge we have is not eating all of the food in one setting ;)

Delicious meals

We were gifted a plantkitchen voucher when we had a newborn and were thrilled that such a delivery service existed. The food is delicious and Alex and Duncan go above and beyond every single time. We have since ordered a second round and with each dish we eat, we are already planning what our next order will be. So far the mushroom pie is an absolute favourite.

Vegan Perfection!!

Vegan Perfection!!! We have ordered a number of meals and are so impressed! The meals are delicious and the portions are very generous. Amazing selection to choose from that are made lovingly with fresh, in season, ingredients. Thanks also to Duncan for his outstanding customer service. It also feel so good to support a local business that promotes cruelty free, mouth-watering, vegan fare.

Each dish was better than the last

Each dish was better than the last and thanks for throwing in a couple of your amazing arancini balls. So far we've had the saag tofu (outstanding), the kofta (wow!) and the chickpea curry, reach better than the last. We still have 4 dishes to go and expectations are high. Most of all I love the completely environmentally friendly packaging, which had been a huge barrier for me ordering from any other break service. Awesome meals, good for the environment and really nice people.
