Tried a few before settling on this

Before settling on this I looked at two other meal kits and a supermarket delivery slot, and this one came out cheapest once I'd worked out the price per portion. The box turned up in good nick and the ingredients were fresh. Sign up was painless and the instructions were clear. I've kept it going since the first month.

Quite a lot of packaging

I ordered the veggie box and was pleased with the variety on offer. There's a fair bit of plastic packaging though, which is a shame for the environment. Everything else was good, the cooking took about twenty five minutes.

Great first box

Ordered a trial box and it was genuinely good value for what turned up. Everything was cold and well packed, and the herbs were still fresh two days later. The app was easy to use when I skipped a week. Will keep going for now.

Better than the supermarket shop

Compared it with doing a big Tesco shop and it's cheaper per meal once you factor in the waste. Only niggle is the delivery window is a bit wide so I had to wait in one afternoon. Otherwise quality is good and the portions are sound.

Quick to sort on the app

Booked my weekly box on the app while waiting for the bus. Took about a minute to change the delivery day when plans shifted. Everything arrived the day it was meant to and the veg was still crisp. Easy, no fuss, job done.

A sensible alternative to the supermarket

I had been relying on the supermarket for ready meal ingredients, but I found the quantities awkward for one person. Compared with buying everything separately, this box works out better and the recipes are not too fussy. The sauce sachets are measured well and the vegetables arrive in good condition. Delivery has been punctual, and I appreciate that the sign up process was not rushed. It has made my weekday evenings considerably less stressful.

Portions are properly generous

The first thing I noticed was how much actually comes in the box, far more than I expected for the price. The veg is always fresh and nothing has been bruised or squashed. We have been ordering for a good while now and it has never let us down.

Saved our Friday nights

We needed something to stop the Friday takeaway habit and HapaBox turned out to be the answer. Our box arrives every fortnight with enough for four of us, and the recipe cards are clear enough that my teenager now cooks half of it himself. We have been subscribers for almost two years and I have not once had to chase them about a missing item.

Pricey for what you get

Tried a few boxes before this one and honestly it is the most expensive of the lot. The veg was fine but a couple of items were smaller than the picture on the site. Delivery came on time though, and the box kept everything cold. For the money I would expect a bit more generosity with the protein.

Beats the big supermarket delivery

Looked at a couple of other meal kits and a supermarket delivery before picking this, and it came out ahead on price per portion. The recipes are quick enough for a weeknight and the ingredients are measured out so there's no leftover spice sitting in the cupboard. Happy with it so far.

first go with a meal box

First time I've ever tried a meal box and I was surprised how quick the sign up was, took about five minutes on my phone. The recipe I got was a chicken curry and it was lovely, though the portion of rice was a bit light for a hungry lad. Otherwise pretty solid for a first go.

The veggie bags are massive

Honestly the veggie bags are massive, way more than I thought they'd be for the money. Me and my flatmate split one and still had leftovers for lunch the next day. The recipe cards are dead easy too, even I managed them and I can't cook. Would order again lol.

Needed something for the week

I was spending far too long each evening working out what to cook, so I wanted a box that would take that decision off my hands. I compared a few options and this one had the clearest recipe cards. The ingredients are fresh and the portions suit two of us with leftovers. Ordering took about five minutes.

Way easier than shopping

Compared to going round the shops this saves me a fair bit of time. Ordering on the app took two taps once I'd set up my address. Food is always fresh and the recipes are simple.

Quick sign up but slow to sort a problem

Needed a box for the week when my partner started nights and signing up was quick on my phone. A couple of the veg were not quite as fresh as I expected, and when I messaged about it I did not get a reply until the next day. The replacement arrived in time for the weekend though. Probably fine if you're not in a hurry.

Good value for two

Works out at a decent price per portion once you have a look at the sums. The box covers two dinners a week and the ingredients are all there, so no extra shopping. Easy to change the order if we go away.

Reliable and well considered

My daughter suggested I try a meal box after my husband passed, as I was finding it difficult to plan suppers for one. I have found the portions sensible and the instructions easy to follow, which I did not expect. The staff on the phone were patient when I had a question about changing my delivery day. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone in a similar position.

Chicken thighs every week

I buy the family chicken thigh bundle every single week and it has been consistent from the first order onwards. The meat is well trimmed and the sell by dates are always sensible, so I can freeze half without worrying. I signed up after a friend recommended it and I have been a regular ever since. The delivery slot I picked still works perfectly.

The family chicken bundle

I signed up for the family chicken bundle in the spring and it has arrived on schedule every week since. The thighs are plump and well trimmed, which I did not expect at this price. The customer team answered my one question about changing the day within the hour, which I thought very civil of them.

Really handy for a student

Honest verdict, it's a good way to eat properly on a student budget. I signed up for a single box and the portions were just right. The packaging keeps everything cold and the delivery arrived in the morning like it said. Not much else to say really.
