10 Healthy Lunches Delivered To Your Desk
Even if you are stuck in the office all day and can’t nip out for a quick bite to eat, lunchtime doesn’t have to mean squashed sandwiches, bruised bananas and limp lettuce leaves. London is brimming with deliciously healthy eateries, that’ll nourish you through the day and can be delivered right to your desk. Here’s our top ten picks:
atis
Available on: Deliveroo
Salad bowls have a bit of a bad reputation, often known for being scattered with a few limp lettuce leaves, soggy cucumber, squishy tomatoes and a dressing that tastes about six years out of date. Here to save you from succumbing to the easy route of waltzing into your local superstore to grab a meal deal is atis. This new healthy eatery is fuelling Londoners with the freshest ingredients, powerful proteins and on-tap kombucha. With 11 vegan and vegetarian bowls, the only problem you’ll have is choosing which one to dive into first!

The Gate
Available On: UberEats
Another one for you vegetarian lovers or those wanting to add a little more plant-based goodness into their diet is The Gate. Available to devour on UberEats, The Gate is renowned by Londoners for its innovative vegetarian and vegan meals. Although on the slightly pricer side for a work lunch, you won’t be able to resist their offerings.
Expect to be chomping your way through aubergine teriyaki layered with shiitake mushrooms and wasabi duxelles, coriander pesto, peppers, on a bed of noodles and salsa; wild mushroom risotto cakes; and vegetable tagine with a side of herby couscous and pickled lemons. Delicious.
