Root & Fuel is a small, family-run performance nutrition and health food business based in Glasgow. We make whole-food meal prep and catering that's built for people who demand more from what they eat — busy parents, corporate professionals, and anyone fuelling an active lifestyle.
Founded by Samantha Hamilton
I'm Samantha, a mum of two with a lifelong love of cooking — but it wasn't until 2020 that food became something much deeper than just flavour. After being diagnosed with ADHD and struggling with ongoing gut issues including IBS, endometriosis, chronic bloating and persistent stomach pain, I was forced to take a hard look at what I was putting into my body.
What I found was simple, but powerful: the more I relied on overly processed foods, the worse I felt — physically, mentally and hormonally. So I started to change things. When I had my first baby in 2021, I began focusing on whole, nourishing foods for my family, tracking how different ingredients made me feel, and slowly building a way of eating that supported not just my body, but my brain too.
In 2025 I stepped away from the corporate world to build something of my own — something that genuinely mattered. Root & Fuel is the result of that journey.
What we do
We cook whole-food meal prep — mains, starters, desserts, overnight oats, poke bowls and grab-and-go options — delivered fresh across Glasgow every Tuesday. We also provide bespoke whole-food catering for corporate events, sports teams and private functions.
Our mission
To make real, fresh, nourishing food more accessible for busy people, without compromising on quality, flavour or nutrition. Nothing we do is overly complicated or pretentious — it's simply good food, made with intention and purpose.
