Our story
Welcome to Scratch: a small British business that started in Lincolnshire, where we make all of our healthy meals fresh to order every single day.
​
Early Beginnings
Scratch was started on farmers' markets in 2010 by Phil Pinnell and Alex Neves.
We had an idea: to help people lead healthier lifestyles and cook with ingredients from scratch.
By creating a range of fresh meal kits that provided every ingredient, you would be able to cook your meal from... Scratch. Everything would be provided, including the exact right amount of ingredients and a simple recipe to cook along with.
​
And that is where our delicious Scratch Meal Kits came to life.
NUTRIENT-DENSE PREPARED MEALS
After creating meal kits, we realised that managing an active lifestyle and getting all of the nutrients you need don't always go hand in hand.
That's why we created our range of Scratch prepared meals. These ready meals are high in protein, nutritionally dense and completely accessible for those with active, busy lifestyles.
​
You can get up to three of your five a day in one box, along with high protein, high fibre contents.
We work with professional nutritionists and talented chefs to create healthy recipes
We know how important it is to enjoy your food while still getting all the nutrients you need to complete your busy day. That's why we collaborate with nutritionists and chefs to create healthy, flavour-filled ready meals and meal kits for you every day.
No Compromises
We have always been inventive with our recipes, but one thing remains the same: you shouldn't have to pay the earth to compromise on flavour.
With Scratch, it's possible to cook more, eat healthier and add more plants to your diet without breaking the bank.
Our delicious dishes start from just £3 and up to £5.99 for a meal for 2 - pretty great we would say.
We strive for accessibility for everyone

Our lives are sometimes just too busy to cook fresh every night. That's why we have made some of our ranges freezable, so you can save them for later and grab them anytime.
