Best Food & Drink Subscription Boxes

Lifebox

One of the best vegan subscription boxes around is Lifebox, a service which delivers a box filled with plant-based delights to your home or office each month. Everything is vegan, gluten and dairy-free, featuring popular brands including Deliciously Ella, Pip & Nut and Ombar alongside some lesser-known products. From £22.95. lifeboxfood.com

The Neal’s Yard Dairy Subscription

Satisfy your cheese cravings by signing up for a monthly delivery from Neal’s Yard Dairy. Experts at the Bermondsey cheesemonger will hand-select three surprise cheeses for subscribers each month, which are then delivered to your door in environmentally-friendly insulated packaging. This month, for instance, you’d be feasting on Berskwell, Colston Bassett Stilton and St Jude. £28.50 per month. nealsyarddairy.co.uk

Coffee & Kin

Six years ago, husband and wife duo Ruth and Mark were introduced to speciality coffee by their brother-in-law, a coffee roaster in Adelaide. They quickly developed a penchant for top quality caffeine, and it wasn’t long before they decided to create their own capsule. One strand of the brand is its chocolate and coffee box, which showcases a different British chocolatier each month along with its speciality grade coffee. Choose between either 30 plastic-free Nespresso pods or a 250g bag of beans or ground coffee, plus either milk or dark chocolate, or a mix of both. What’s more, £1 from each box goes to The Blurt Foundation, a charity helping young people and adults affected by depression in the UK. From £25 a month. coffeeandkin.co.uk

Great British Bake Off Box

So you’ve mastered the art of making sourdough and you’re looking for your next challenge. We’ve got just the ticket: Great British Bake Off’s subscription service, which delivers a recipe created by the hit TV show’s experts to your door each month, alongside ingredients and a piece of stylish baking equipment. From £19.99 per month. bakeoffbox.co.uk

Cake or Death

Little pick-me-ups matter more than ever these days – and what could be more of a mood booster than brownies through your letterbox? Cake or Death offers a monthly food subscription service of its freshly baked brownies, which come in a whole host of mouth-watering flavours – think salted caramel, peanut butter and Biscoff spread. cakeordeath.net

Wild Radish

Feeling uninspired in the kitchen? Expand your repertoire with chef-led recipe box Wild Radish. Delivered weekly, each box comes complete with a recipe from the likes of Philip Howard, Anna Hansen and Alyn Williams, alongside all the ingredients and some top chef tips. To top it all off there will be a little surprise too, such as artisan chocolate, a bottle of matched wine or fresh bread. From £55 per box for two. wild-radish.co.uk

Little Cooks Co

Keen to get your kids interested in cooking? Try Little Cooks Co, a subscription-based recipe kit company targeted at children. Each month a box will be delivered through your letterbox – addressed directly to your little cook – featuring all the dry, organic ingredients needed to make a healthy bake alongside a recipe card and some extra games and activities. From £8.33 per box. littlecooksco.co.uk

Craft Whisky Club

From casks to pairings, learning about the world of whisky is part of the experience – so if you’re a fan, consider joining the Craft Whisky Club. Each box contains up to two full size bottles of the good stuff from small batch and artisan producers, alongside specially selected food pairings and information on the distillery and production process. Either 1 or 2 bottles every 2 months, from £29.95 per month. craftwhiskyclub.com

STIR-UP

Learn the craft of mixology with cocktail subscription service STIR-UP. On the last Wednesday of each month you’ll receive a box containing the ingredients for four cocktails, plus details on the drink’s origin, a special playlist and ways to twist the classic into your own contemporary creation. The week before, you’ll receive a shopping list to ensure you have all the right tools to make your creations perfect, from glasses to garnishes. Cocktail hour, sorted. £24.95 per month. stir-up.com

Good Canteen

Whether it’s that mid-morning craving or the late-night munchies, we all have our weak moments when it comes to snacking. Enter Good Canteen: the innovative snack box subscription designed to target different ‘food swings’ during the day. The ‘Golden Hour’, for instance, is well suited to those who struggle with the 3pm slump, while the ‘Evening Bliss’ is ideal for TV snackers. All boxes are carefully curated, with selections changing on a monthly basis – though some brands pop up regularly, such as Love Raw, Cold Coffee Brew and Raw Press. Available weekly or monthly, from £30 per box. goodcanteen.co.uk

The Green Cocktail Club

Become a cocktail connoisseur with Sapling Spirits’ new subscription service. Each month you’ll receive a box containing the ingredients for eight drinks, plus recipes created by a world-renowned mixologist and a how-to video. You don’t need to worry about buying lots of fancy equipment either, as the first box comes with a shaker and a spirit measure. Not only are the cocktails sure to be delicious, Sapling is a climate-positive vodka: for every bottle sold, a tree is planted – and there’s even a code on the bottle to tell you what tree was planted and where. £35 per month, for £10 off your first box use the code CTH10 at checkout. saplingspirits.com

Tastily

Free from artificial ingredients, preservatives, and refined sugars, Tastily’s pre-made meal subscription service is the next generation of ready meal. Not only are they healthier, these chef-made meals focus on quality, sustainability, and provenance to be the best on the market. Each meal is created by a Michelin-trained chef, with Head Chef Steve Bailey overlooking the team. The meals are never frozen, as the brand uses cutting-edge packaging technology to keep each dish fresh for seven days – meaning you’ll never have to compromise on taste. This also makes it possible for Tastily to deliver its meals weekly rather than daily, reducing the carbon footprint as well as delivery costs. Bargain. Meals from £6.60 tastily.co.uk
