Were building the financial institution of the future. We believe money shapes everything - where we live, the choices we make, the futures we dream about. But the "system" often feels out of reach, and built for someone else. Clove exists to change that.

We are a team of food lovers and expert chefs on a mission to make eating great tasting food easier, and healthier. We deliver delicious and nutritionally balanced chef-made meals to food lovers across the nation. At the top of our passion list is flavour. As a team, we believe that delicious food shouldn’t be kept for Friday nights, BBQ Saturdays or slow cooked Sundays. We work with talented, passionate chefs who create meals packed with flavour for you to enjoy any day of the week. All of our meals arrive fresh to your door. We’re able to do this through innovative packaging that locks in freshness and flavour for 7 days. This also means that there’s no need for us to use any additives or preservatives in any of our dishes. With a focus on quality, sustainability and provenance, our meals use as many British ingredients as possible: from Red Tractor certified meat and local cheese, to vegetables sourced directly from Covent Garden Market. In February 2021 we partnered with Chefs in Schools, a charity that believes food education is of vital importance to young people. Every Tastily box ordered funds a child’s cookery course with Chefs in Schools. That’s something to be proud of as youre tucking into your Tastily dinner!
