HomeCooks secures £1.4M to bring chef-made meals to UK supermarkets

HomeCooks, a London-based meal-prep startup, has raised £1.4 million in its latest funding round. The company connects health-focused customers with homemade, restaurant-quality meals from independent chefs. Its recent expansion includes a partnership with ten Co-op stores in Lincolnshire.

Founded by Josh Magidson in 2020, HomeCooks now serves over 60,000 regular users. The platform specialises in balanced, protein-rich meals designed for health-conscious consumers. It aims to challenge the dominance of centralised kitchen operations in the meal-prep market.

The latest funding round remains private, with no public details about the angel investors involved. Alongside this, HomeCooks is also crowdfunding on Republic, approaching its £750,000 target.

The company plans to use the new funds to expand supermarket partnerships. Its recent deal with Co-op marks the first step in scaling its meal-prep offerings across the UK.

HomeCooks is now backed by £1.4 million in investment. The funding will support its push into major retailers and broader UK growth. With a focus on nutrition and independent chefs, the startup continues to target health-focused consumers.
