Fresh, plant-based Caribbean comfort food, cooked by hand and delivered to your door in Maindee.

Vegan Caribbean, Delivered
Rooted Soul is a family-run, black-owned kitchen serving fresh vegan Caribbean and Jamaican comfort food to homes across Maindee. Everything is made by hand in small batches, so the food that reaches your door tastes like it has been cooked with proper care rather than churned out. If you have been searching for vegan Caribbean meal prep in Maindee that actually delivers on flavour, this is for you. You order online, we cook fresh, and your meals arrive ready to enjoy.
The story behind Rooted Soul is a simple one. Our founder went vegan and missed the Caribbean meals she grew up loving, so she set about recreating them without any animal products and without losing a single bit of the soul. The result is a menu of plant-based dishes that taste familiar to anyone raised on Jamaican home cooking, from Jerk Lentils with Rice & Peas to a warming Saturday Soup. For people in Maindee who want vegan Jamaican food delivery without the long drive into the city centre, it means a proper plate of food brought to you.
Maindee is one of Newport's most close-knit and culturally mixed districts, the sort of community where good food gets passed around and talked about. That makes it a natural home for what we do. Whether you are after a single dinner, a few days of plant-based meal delivery in Maindee, South Wales, or a spread for friends, you can build your order online and leave the cooking to us. Each meal is packed in eco kraft packaging, so you get the food you want without a pile of plastic to deal with afterwards.
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 Maindee in eco-friendly kraft packaging.
Delivering to Maindee matters to us because it is the kind of neighbourhood where people already know good Caribbean food and have high standards for it. Plenty of households here have roots in the islands, and plenty more have simply grown to love jerk seasoning, rice and peas, and a properly spiced curry. Cooking vegan versions for this community is a privilege, not a gimmick, and we take the responsibility of getting it right seriously every time we cook. Maindee sits in the NP19 postcode district, just over the bridge from the city centre, and we deliver throughout it.
Being based in Newport means Maindee is right on our doorstep, so your food does not have to travel far before it lands with you. That keeps things fresh and makes ordering easy whether you are a busy parent, a student, or someone simply done with cooking after a long day. If you have been typing vegan Caribbean food near me and hoping for something genuine rather than a frozen tray, Rooted Soul was built with you in mind.
What We Deliver
People in Maindee order from us for all sorts of reasons. Some want a few days of meal prep sorted in one go, picking dishes like Coconut Lentil Curry, Rasta Pasta and Macaroni "No Cheese" to see them through the week. Others order for a family dinner or a get-together, adding Beyond Beef Patties, Festival, Dumplings, Vegan Coleslaw and Vegan Potato Salad to make a proper spread. We also see plenty of orders for the sweeter side of the menu, with Jamaican Spice Bun and Jamaican Fruit Cake going down well at the weekend or alongside a cup of tea. Whatever the occasion, the food is cooked fresh and packed ready to enjoy.
