About Diced
Born in a family kitchen in Edinburgh. Now Scotland’s leading meal prep company, delivering thousands of chef-prepared meals across the UK every week.
Our Story
Diced Meal Prep was founded in 2020 by Sam Deplacido, a local lad from The Inch in Edinburgh. Sam gave up a career working on oil rigs in the North Sea to pursue his passion for cooking and nutrition, and started preparing meals from his family kitchen.
What began as a small operation quickly grew as word spread about the quality and flavour of every meal. Today, Diced Scotland Ltd produces thousands of meals every week, delivered fresh across the UK every Wednesday and Sunday. With over 10,000 happy customers, 80+ dishes on the menu and a 34,000-strong Instagram community, Diced has become a household name for anyone serious about eating well without the hassle.
We also have a brick-and-mortar location at 16 Southfield Place, Edinburgh, where customers can collect orders in person.
“We have risen from cooking in our family home to providing food for the whole of the UK. We have Michelin-trained chefs working alongside our qualified nutritionists to provide you with the cleanest, meanest and freshest meals on the market, and we are just getting started.”
– Sam Deplacido, Founder

Something for Everyone

Giving Back
Diced has never forgotten its roots. During the first COVID-19 lockdown, we provided over 5,000 meals to the elderly, vulnerable and NHS Scotland workers in partnership with Helping Hands. We also maintained a long-running partnership with Goodtrees Neighbourhood Centre, supplying 400 to 500 meals every week to families experiencing food insecurity across South East Edinburgh.
We continue to work with local charities and community organisations to this day. We believe that good nutrition should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford it. Giving back is not a side project for us. It is part of who we are.
Our Promise
Quality and customer satisfaction are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to:
- Transparency – Clear nutritional information and calorie counts on every single meal.
- Quality – Only the finest ingredients, locally sourced wherever possible.
- Affordability – Restaurant-quality meals at a price that makes healthy eating accessible.
- Community – Supporting local suppliers and giving back to the people of Edinburgh.
