Celebrating 9 Years of Parsley Box

Nine years ago, Parsley Box was founded in Edinburgh, Scotland with a simple but powerful mission: to bring comforting, convenient meals to everyone, and to make good food something to enjoy, never a chore.

From the very beginning, we set out to support those moments when cooking feels difficult, time is limited, or a little extra reassurance is needed. Whether it’s helping someone enjoy a hot, satisfying meal at home, or taking the stress out of everyday mealtimes, our goal has always been the same: to deliver meals that care.

This week, we’re celebrating 9 wonderful years of Parsley Box and we couldn’t have done it without you.

A Journey Built on Care

Over the years, every order placed, every kind review, and every shared mealtime has helped shape who we are today. In that time, we’re incredibly proud to have delivered 2.9 million orders, served over 30 million meals, and received more than 34,000 Trustpilot reviews.

Each of those numbers represents a moment, a busy day made easier, a moment of comfort, or a helping hand when it was needed most. It’s a reflection of the trust you’ve placed in us to be part of your everyday lives.

Meals That Mean Something

At Parsley Box, we believe food should bring comfort, familiarity, and reassurance. From day one favourites to much-loved classics, every dish is thoughtfully created with care, inspired by the idea of “Cooking That Cares” and meals that bring people together.

Some of our favourites have been with us since the very beginning, while others have grown and evolved alongside our customers.

Sweet & Sour Chicken

One of our very first meals and still a firm favourite today. Tender British chicken in a tangy sweet and sour sauce, a perfect balance of flavour and comfort.

Classic Chicken Dinner

A customer favourite for its true taste of home. Tender British chicken served with baby potatoes, carrots, and parsnips, finished with sage & onion stuffing and rich vegetable gravy.

Cottage Pie

An original Parsley Box dish. Tender British minced beef in a rich gravy with onions and carrots, seasoned with Worcester sauce, black pepper and thyme, topped with buttery Yorkshire mash.

Classic Meatballs with Pasta

With us since the very beginning and now available in a larger portion size to suit every appetite. Tender pork and beef meatballs in a rich Italian-style tomato sauce, served with pasta shells.

What Our Customers Tell Us

While our journey is something we’re proud of, what truly matters is the difference our meals make in people’s lives.

Mrs Hignett (Trustpilot Verified Review) shared:

“I first ordered from you caring for my husband when I couldn’t leave his bedside for more than 15 minutes. It was extremely helpful not having to plan defrosting and cooking. Not only that, but he really enjoyed your recipes. Coming out of grief at 90 years old, I too need your tasty meals with minimum preparation to worry about. Thank you.”

Mrs Williamson (Trustpilot Verified Review) told us:

“The best convenience meals for the elderly or infirm that I have come across. Good, tasty, affordable meals. Just the right size for me. Not too rich. Not too spicy. Well balanced and healthy. All delivered to my door on a pre-designated day. The best thing is that they can all be stored in the cupboard for up to 6 months and are easy and quick to cook. I wish I had come across these meals years ago.”

Mrs Peddle (Trustpilot Verified Review) shared:

“I’m disabled and can’t prepare meals for myself, I was living on sandwiches and cereal, but now I can have a delicious hot meal every day. They have a great deal of choice and it’s a full portion, I’m so happy and satisfied. Thank you, Parsley Box!”

Stories like these are at the heart of everything we do. They remind us that meals are more than just food, they’re moments of comfort, independence, and care.

Here’s to the Future

As we celebrate 9 years, we’re filled with gratitude for how far we’ve come and excitement for what lies ahead.

We’ll continue to create meals that bring comfort, ease, and reassurance, meals that feel like home, and moments that matter.
