Spring has started. The sun’s in the sky, the birds are singing and we can see the leaves are coming back. Saying that, we know the outside world’s a real uncertainty at the moment, so we’d like to do our bit to spread some joy where possible. We’ve put together a list of things, tried and tested by the Urban Eat team, that you can do while you’re staying safe at home. Test your kitchen skills Why not try that recipe you’ve been meaning to test for as long as you can remember? Albeit with a few replacement ingredients, depending on what you have in the cupboards! Get creative! If it goes well ..read more

Sometimes it feels like our lives are getting busier and busier with an increasing amount of ‘stuff’ vying for our attention! This applies to the world of food too where it seems everyone wants to tell us what we should or should not be eating. Here at Urban Eat, we offer a choice of products for customers – whether you’re looking for a healthy office lunch, high protein snack or a more indulgent option. We know it can be difficult to find a nutritious lunch whilst on the move. Health is climbing higher and higher on the agenda as 63% of consumers try to eat healthy most or all of the time.

The year is 2020. A silver pod the size of a watermelon cruises towards your bedroom window, flashing softly to catch your attention. You slide open your airlock to allow the pod to latch onto the small loading bay. Once attached, the pod opens to reveal a silver container bursting with the latest dishes from ‘Delivabug’. Deep fried crickets, grilled grasshoppers and spaghetti buffalo worms all await. Now this is perhaps what we envisaged we’d be eating in 2020, a year that projects the metallic scent of futurism. However, luckily for us, we’re not there just yet and that means we’re still enj ..read more

It might only be November but it’s Christmas time at Urban Eat! All we can think about is our festive line-up – it’s got all the trimmings: best-selling traditional delights, new innovative flavours to suit all tastes and our brand-new stand-out packaging. There is so much to think about at Christmas time, seeing family, buying presents, decorating the tree…(not) eating Brussel sprouts! There’s always one thing on our mind however, and no, it’s not the lyrics to ‘All I want for Christmas is you’ – although obviously we know them too. Our team here can’t stop thinking about festive sandwiches a ..read more

Everywhere you look, there’s a food advert – on the tv, on the tube, even hiding between your friends’ Instagram stories. We love being part of the fast-moving food to go world and in such a competitive landscape, brands are being more creative than ever in order to stand out from the crowd. Below are three adverts that we’ve loved from recent months: McDonald’s Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese Advert – Timeless Classic   Where have you been hiding if you’ve never seen a McDonald’s advert? The familiar golden arches, the nonchalant jingle whistle, and the sudden craving for some fries… Their ..read more

Hiking in the countryside or just chilling in the park, don’t forget your picnic! Summer may be drawing to a close but that doesn’t mean we have to lock ourselves away until the Spring. The clocks haven’t changed yet and there is still plenty of the great outdoors to explore on a day out.

All hail the street food market! The global cuisine, the atmosphere, the delicious smells and the flavours!

Street food markets have risen in popularity in Europe recently and now you can find them popping ..read more

We know what you’re thinking: banana what?! What the heck’s banana blossom? Well, we’ll tell you. It’s a flower. We know, we know – there’s a new meat alternative on the market almost every other week. First it was beetroot (a staple in our The Beet Goats On sandwich), then jackfruit (found in our Dirty Jack wrap, haven’t you heard?), but now everyone’s going bananas (sorry) for banana blossom, including us. The new food star hails from south-east Asia and we reckon you could easily confuse it for an artichoke. It’s traditionally used in south-Asian and Indian cuisines and can be eaten raw as ..read more
