Graze
graze.com was started by 7 friends who all share a passion for food. When we found we couldn't eat the food we loved at work, we asked around and realised there were loads of people just like us. So in April 2007 we decided to stop playing off-peak foodies and go full time. We took the plunge, gave up our jobs and built the graze kitchen.
We now spend all our time sourcing the foods we love and finding even better ways to get them to you. In our first month we sent out over 8,000 boxes and six months later we are already feeding 20,000 people every week.
