Overview
If you've eaten more mi goreng than you did back at uni lately, we get it. Not all of us can be baking our own sourdough or learning how to make pasta from an Italian nonna. But, if you're time poor — or your wallet is on the lighter side these days — instant noodles and cans of tuna aren't you're only choice. Now bringing affordable healthy meal packs to homes across Sydney is The Grub Club. So put that packet down and keep reading.
The Grub Club is from the teams behind CBD small bar Since I Left You and caterer Shared Affair — so, it's safe to say these guys know what they're doing in the kitchen. The club's aim is to provide tasty nutritious meals without the hefty price tag. Plus, it'll save you a trip to the crowded supermarket.
Each meal comes frozen and packed with seasonal veggies and protein at costs just $7.50, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than some other food services going around town at the moment. And all you have to do is heat and eat — leaving more room for living room boogies or movie marathons. The menu changes weekly, but you can expect to be tucking into the likes of Moroccan chicken tagine, Nonna's bolognese, hearty casseroles, heartwarming curries and a lamb shoulder shepherd's pie. You can also go all out and get an antipasti platter for two for $15 and a bunch of desserts for a fiver, including sticky date pudding, Nutella fudge brownie and Persian orange cake.
Better yet, it's also got its own wine — with bubbles, white, rosé and red starting from just $15 — pre-batched cocktails and some six-packs available. Did we mention delivery is free on orders over $50?
For smaller orders, you'll be able to pick your feed hub from one of the Grub Hubs around town. Right now, you can drop into Since I Left You or The Lord Gladstone, with more locations expected to be added.
Although Since I Left You and Shared Affair have been closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Grub Club has allowed them to rehire staff to help prepare and deliver meals. So, you can have your cake and feel good about it, too.
The Grub Club is offering free delivery on orders over $50 or you can pick up at Since I Left You and The Lord Gladstone. To check out the menu and to place an order, head here.
