MEATBALL MANIA
Meatballs, but make them magic. Juicy, hearty, and packed with hidden goodness.
Perfectly balanced, deliciously nutritious.
These meatballs are a hit with kids for their tender texture and natural sweetness — while parents love them for their hidden veggies and lean, protein-packed ingredients that support growth and health.
⭐ Hero Ingredients
-
Lean Beef & Pork Mince
A blend that ensures maximum umami flavour with a tender texture, lower in saturated fat while still hitting protein targets.

Grated Apple & Courgette
Hidden within the meatballs for subtle sweetness and added nutrients. They melt during cooking, creating a soft texture children love.

Carrots, celery, onion, garlic, tomatoes, red pepper, and courgette, combined into a hidden veg sauce that brings a burst of nutrients in every bite.

Honey
Adds a natural sweetness to the sauce that is adored by kids without the need for refined sugars.
Preparation 🧑🍳
Lean beef and pork mince are blended with gentle spices and grated apple for natural moisture. Rolled into tender meatballs and gently simmered in a rich tomato and hidden-veg sauce, finished with a kiss of honey for balance.
Flavour Profile 🍅
Savoury, hearty, and naturally sweet. The richness of the tomato and beef is lifted by the hidden vegetables and softened by the gentle sweetness of apple and honey.
Texture & Visual Appeal 🌽
The meatballs are tender and juicy, with a slight crisp on the outside and soft interior that melts in the mouth. The tomato sauce is thick and smooth, with flecks of vegetable goodness peeking through, making the dish both visually inviting and appealing to kids.
We choose not to garnish our dishes for now, as we know lots of little ones don’t love “rouge green bits” on top of their food. They prefer their dish without them, and that’s fine by us.
Sensory Factor 😋
The subtle sweetness in the meatballs and sauce engages children’s taste buds, while the tender, juicy texture ensures a satisfying eating experience.
Parents will love that these meatballs deliver on flavour and nutrition without compromise. The hidden vegetables make it easier to get kids to eat their veggies at lunchtime, and the blend of lean meats ensures a healthy balance of protein and fat for growing children. The natural sweetness from honey means no added sugars, no additives full stop — just real, wholesome ingredients.

A Limited Edition First Look
Crafted with Aisling Larkin
We’ve teamed up with culinary expert Aisling Larkin to bring you something a little special, a limited-edition collection of dishes, ready just in time for our Spring/Summer menu.
Aisling brings a unique mix of skills to the table. From food product development and culinary innovation to nutrition and feeding therapy, all poured into dishes designed to nourish, fuel, and make mealtimes easier.
