What exactly is Poke?
Poke (pronounced POH-keh) means “to slice or cut” in Hawaiian referring to cubes of marinated sushi grade fish which is then tossed over rice and topped with Asian- inspired sauces. While sushi and poke are similar in featuring raw fish, they are different in many ways.

Gourmet Poké is revolutionizing the UK's plant-based food scene with its vibrant, health-conscious approach to Hawaiian-inspired cuisine. Established in January 2023, this innovative company has rapidly gained recognition for its commitment to delivering fresh, flavorful, and entirely plant-based poké bowls.

A Fresh Take on Poké
Gourmet Poké specializes in crafting "sunshine in a bowl," offering customizable dishes that combine sushi rice, fresh fruits and vegetables, and signature house sauces. Their menu is entirely plant-based and free from gluten-containing ingredients, catering to a growing demand for inclusive and healthful dining options.
Rapid Growth and Recognition
Since its inception, Gourmet Poké has expanded its presence, establishing locations in Bristol and Taunton. The company's dedication to quality and innovation was recognized in December 2024 when it was awarded Best Plant Poké at the Global Vegan Awards.

Community Engagement
Beyond its culinary offerings, Gourmet Poké actively participates in community events. In July 2024, the company joined Somerset's Armed Forces Day celebrations, marking its first anniversary and sharing its mission to inspire healthier eating habits.
Looking Ahead
As Gourmet Poké continues to grow, it remains committed to its core values of sustainability, inclusivity, and culinary excellence. With a focus on providing delicious, plant-based meals, the company is poised to make a lasting impact on the UK's food landscape.
