Vegan Caribbean and Jamaican food, cooked by hand in small batches in Newport and delivered across Lliswerry, ready when your shift ends.

Vegan Caribbean, Delivered
Lliswerry keeps its own hours. It is one of the biggest wards in Newport, a wide spread of terraces and post-war estates in the south east of the city, running from the River Usk across to the old steelworks land at Meadows Road. Plenty of people here work shifts, and plenty of them finish long after the shops have shut. Cooking a full meal from scratch at that hour is a big ask of anybody.
That is the gap we fill. We cook vegan Caribbean and Jamaican food by hand in Newport, in small batches, and bring it to your door in kraft boxes ready to heat when you are. You order the evening before, so nothing sits around waiting. Everything is fully plant-based, which saves the usual juggling when one person in the house has stopped eating meat and dairy. Our kitchen holds a 5 star food hygiene rating.
Saturday Soup suits the colder half of the year, thick with vegetables and dumplings and enough to fill a proper bowl. Rasta Pasta tends to win over children who are wary of anything new. Jerk Lentils with Rice and Peas is £10, Coconut Lentil Curry is £12, and festival on the side gives you something sweet and fried to mop up with. Beyond Beef patties hold up well in a lunch bag or a rucksack for training at the sports village, and there is Jamaican spice bun when you want something sweet with your tea.
Why Rooted Soul
Every dish fully vegan, with no meat, no dairy and no compromise on flavour.
Family recipes and bold island flavour in every single bowl.
Cooked by hand in small batches, never mass-produced.
Delivered to your door in Lliswerry in eco-friendly kraft packaging.
Lliswerry sits in the NP19 postcode district and takes up a good share of it. The streets run from Corporation Road and Stephenson Street up to the main railway line, with Spytty Park and the sports village, velodrome and pool on one side of Spytty Road and Newport Retail Park and the Tesco on the other. Lliswerry High School and the Coleg Gwent campus are both on Nash Road. The Transporter Bridge stands at the end of Stephenson Street, and the Wales Coast Path runs out this way towards Nash and the wetlands at Uskmouth.
That mix of housing, playing fields, schools and industry shapes the days round here. Big families, busy weekends at Spytty, people coming and going at odd hours. We are a short run away, so your order arrives while it is still worth eating rather than sitting in a van halfway across the county. Tell us the time that works, whether that is after the school run on Nash Road or the end of a late shift, and we will aim for it.
What We Deliver
We deliver vegan meal prep across Lliswerry, from the streets off Corporation Road through Spytty and out to the edge of Nash. Orders are placed the evening before and cooked the next day, so plan your week on a Sunday night if that suits you. If you want a stack of boxes to cover the working week, that is easy enough to arrange. We also cater for birthdays, christenings, wakes, work lunches and community days, with trays of Macaroni No Cheese, spinach rice, vegan coleslaw and potato salad. Ring 07962 816936 and tell us what you need and when.
