Office lunch that packs a punch from startup

A gourmet food company is bringing the taste of India to UK lunchtimes with the launch of its new nationwide business delivery service.

Gourmet artisan food company, Coconut Chilli, is launching a new business delivery service, bringing a taste of India to offices across the UK.

Coconut Chilli uses authentic and sometimes unusual ingredients from the Hill Station region of Coorg in Bangalore to create delicious microwaveable meal pots. Spices are toasted and meatballs are hand-rolled using processes that can’t be replicated in most manufactured pre-made food.

The range currently has four varieties – lamb & black pepper keema meatballs, cardamom scented chicken, shrimp and coconut milk korma and root vegetable mooli and lentil sambhar. All dishes are served on a bed of basmati rice and garnished with fresh ingredients including coriander, coconut shavings, tomatoes and pomegranate jewels.

HR managers and directors looking to treat their staff to lunch as part of a company incentive scheme or need to cater lunchtime meetings can now count on Coconut Chilli to deliver direct to desks.

The office hamper delivery service means meal pots can be ordered online from coconutchilli.com/home/shop/ and delivered nationwide, packed in bio-degradable Woolcool liners with ice packs to ensure a safe, and delicious, arrival.

Navina Bartlett, Founder and Boss Lady at Coconut Chilli, says:

“We started selling our meal pots at farmer’s markets which proved popular with customers. We wanted to be able to sell all over the UK so we made the decision to focus on offices in the first instance as we currently have a minimum order of ten pots.

“Busy professionals often skip lunch or choose mass manufactured ready meals and sandwiches that are high in salt, sugar and additives. Coconut Chilli bring the best of Indian cuisine without compromising on convenience.”
