Frozen vegetarian food for meals, sides & sharing dishes

Vegetarian and vegan are not interchangeable terms. Products containing cheese, milk or egg may be suitable for vegetarians without being suitable for vegans.
If you specifically need vegan or plant-based products, use Nicol Retailer’s separate Frozen Plant-Based Food category and always check the individual product information.

- Steak and grills: steak-cut or chunky chips.
- Loaded fries: skin-on, thin or chunky fries.

Frozen butchered meat
The Frozen Meal Solution taxonomy also contains a dedicated Frozen Butchered Meat category. This gives shoppers a direct route to butchered meat supplied in frozen format.
The category is separate from Nicol Retailer’s wider Butchered Meat Online UK range, so use the appropriate shopping destination according to the product format required.
Plan a useful frozen-food shop
A practical freezer should make meal preparation easier, rather than simply hold as many products as possible. A balanced frozen shop combines versatile everyday products with more specific foods for entertaining, dietary variety or planned menus.
- Check the amount of freezer space available before ordering.
- Prioritise products that work with meals you regularly prepare.
- Use versatile sides, breads or vegetables across several meals.
- Keep speciality seafood and desserts for planned occasions where appropriate.
- Choose vegetarian or plant-based foods according to actual dietary requirements.
- Review pack sizes before placing larger catering orders.
- Follow the storage information supplied with every product.
Simple strategy: combine versatile meal components, one or two useful sides, a meat-free option and a smaller selection of bakery, seafood or entertaining foods.
