I needed something to get my weight back under control after my hip op, as I was struggling to cook properly while I was recovering. Signing up was simple and the first month's price was fair for what's delivered each week. The meals are sensible portions and the calorie counts are clear on every label, so I know exactly what I'm eating. Delivery has been on time every week so far.

Read moreThe calorie and macro labels are spot on, which matters to me as I've been counting for years and know what I'm looking at. Portions match the stated weights, something I've had trouble with elsewhere. The only thing I'd change is the delivery window, which is a bit wide and meant a long wait in on one occasion. Otherwise the food is consistent and the plans suit my routine.
Read moreGood plan, would stick with it. The app is clunky when you want to swap a meal and it took me a few goes to find the right menu. Food arrives on time and the labels are accurate.
The cost per meal is reasonable for the quality, though it's a fair bit more than the cheaper meal kits I looked at. The portions are good and the recipes are easy to follow. Delivery came in a standard cool bag with ice packs, a bit wasteful but it kept things cold. Signing up was simple on the laptop.

Compared with the meal kit I was using before, this works out a fair bit cheaper per portion, and the recipes take less time to put together. I looked at three or four options first and this came out best on cost. Signing up took a few minutes. The one thing I'd flag is the portions are a bit smaller than the photos suggest, but otherwise it's sorted.
The portions are bigger than I expected, and that's the bit I noticed first. I've tried a few of these plans now and this is the first where I'm not stood in the kitchen at four o'clock looking for toast. The price per day works out sensible for what you get, though the delivery slot can be a bit fixed and I had to shuffle my week around once to catch a drop.
