The table covers the services compared on this site whose own pages confirm vegetarian dishes, as a whole menu or as labels on a mixed one. Another service may still have meat-free dishes in a given week: its weekly menu shows them. Every box that fits your household with this label.

Vegetarian dinners on a mixed menu

HelloFresh, Green Chef and Home Chef put vegetarian recipes on menus that also include meat and fish, and the number of vegetarian recipes changes each week. A box needs one recipe per dinner, so three dinners for two means three vegetarian recipes on that week’s menu. Check the menu for your delivery week, and remember you can mix vegetarian and meat recipes in one box if not everyone at the table is vegetarian.

Every dish meat-free

Purple Carrot’s kits and Ready to Eat meals and Splendid Spoon’s prepared meals are plant-based, which also makes them vegetarian. They contain no dairy or eggs either, which suits some vegetarians and not others.

Pescatarian

HelloFresh and Home Chef also label pescatarian recipes: vegetarian dishes plus fish and seafood. The matcher with the pescatarian label shows the boxes for your household.

A label is not an allergy guarantee

A vegetarian label describes the dish, not the kitchen it was packed in or every ingredient. For an allergy or a strict diet, check each recipe’s ingredients and allergen statement with the maker: what a menu label can and cannot tell you.
