I was shocked to learn my credit card was charged £40 for an order that I hadn’t made. Somehow they had charged me for a weekly subscription even though I did not place the order or go to checkout authorise anything. I check my emails very careful due to my work and didn't get the emails they claim either in my inbox or junk box. No emails, didn't go checkout - an elaborate scam of sorts. I don't eat shepherds pie or a fish dish in that sauce, never have. I didn’t expect the company like mindful chef would do this. I immediately contacted them and told them there must be a bug in their system. I can see someone else has posted just this week, so it seems a recent hitch. They told me there wasn’t enough time to cancel and I would have to be charged and accept the food. The The food was fish, shepherd's pie and other dishes which I simply don’t like or eat. Now I sense they have done this deliberately to possibly 1000s of customers to make a quick profit. Lot of inconvenience having to report this as a fraud to your credit card company. Do not leave your details stored with them this is what they do. If more than 40 people report this to trading standards they will be investigated. really disappointed by their response on their error. I did not activate any subscription, that is utter nonsense. I am not stupid.I don't make mistakes, and not one like this. I did not select shepherds pie or that fish dish, That is ridiculous I did not get any pop up - at all. I did not get a single email in any one of my 5 pc locations, or in my junk box. This is 100% your website bug or done deliberately. I informed you Monday which was sufficient time for you to cancel this for Friday but you don't want to as you want to collect me month and the many thousands who have complained of the same things. Your emails ae not being delivered even if things were done by accident. I placed certain favorites in my basket (selection based on last order some 2-3 years ago) and did not check out. I never had a previous subscription at any time. not even 2 years ago!! This is an elaborate scam and blatant fraud. I am shocked why a company like Mindful chef would do this and is a dishonest company, wow!! I will without hesitate issue proceedings if I do not get a refund.

I have been trying Mindful chef for a few weeks and I enjoy to have around 20th options to chose from, meat or vegan, but all gluten free. This is why I chose it among many others. It is helpful to have in their website the list of ingredients, how to make it, how long will take, etc and not only printed on paper so makes it easier to decide and also because already happened that my mom was going to cook while I was at work and I could copy, translate for her in google and send via whatasapp. Imagine if I had to write word by word how long would have taken me! They promisse easyness and that is what you get throught the whole process. Lately I have been bolder now choosing and trying differents things since I've found the recipes to be very tasty and I am surprised in a good way sometimes by it. Everething is very well packed, always delivered with care. Once I received an item which was rottening, but I did not bother to contact them about it. Otherwise, the quality is great. I also love how they send some things to try that I did not ordered, such as nuts dipped in chocolate, which I did liked to much that I have bought afterwards. I also loved to receive a mask from Ren, which I woud never expect it and would never try it otherwise. Even on this I saw a concern to take care of the planet, since is saying in their pack "clean to skin" and "clean to the planet". Awesome! There is many things to try still, I have never tryed the "frozen ready meal, deserts, soups or smoothies" but overall, I am a happy costomer.

Sadly, after 2 boxes we're underwhelmed and have cancelled our subscription. Hoping for healthy, filling and delicious gluten free options, Mindful Chef has left us feeling disappointed as although the meals may be healthy and GF, we found them to be quite tastless, an odd mix of ingredients and after several meals, were left still feeling hungry. All in all we haven't looked forward to our nightly meals and most have been passable but not that enjoyable to eat. For the money and taste, for us this hasn't hit the mark. We've previously had Hello Fresh for a long period of time and their meals were much better in terms of taste & value for money. We wanted to try Mindful Chef as we thought it would be a healthier version with more focus on gluten free but I've found some of the tastes/ ingredients to be an odd mix and opting for lower carb alternatives to pasta, rice etc in the meals the options we've received have lacked texture and substance and have meant we've felt hungry an hour later (example) lamb and polenta, the polenta texture was terrible...the meal would have somewhat been saved with a small portion of mash instead of the inedible texture of the polenta, meaning we both felt starving after our meal. The meal options are varied and you can choose ahead, delivery etc has also been fine to give Mindful Chef credit for the positives, but overall it has left us disappointed and discontent as there hasn't been a single, stand-out meal in 2 boxes, all have been underwhelming sadly.

We have been using mindful chef for almost 12 months now, mainly for week day meals when time to shop, prepare and cook from scratch is limited. Before we discovered mindful chef we would often opt for take outs which made us feel sluggish and generally unhealthy. I can honestly say (and I’m a junk food addict normally) that the meals are so easy to make and taste absolutely delicious. Such a variety every week, we’ve never got bored and we feel so much more healthier as a result. It’s a genius idea, easy website to order from, deliveries are reliable (never had an issue) and the recipe books are great to keep. Excellent value for money when you consider how much time and money you would normally waste trundling around the supermarket buying more ingredients than you need, measuring it all out, etc. We absolutely love it and have got my sister and her family hooked too. Eco friendly too so you can recycle all the packaging. Excellent customer service so if you do have a query on an order they respond immediately and a FB page to share experiences. First class, would definitely recommend especially in light of the pandemic, we saw no difference to our usual service, it’s been a life saver. Thank you so much.

I haven't received my delivery yet and I already know I will not be a future customer. Received a gift voucher recently that I wanted to use. I used the voucher and it doesn't straight away give you the option to do a once off order like Hello Fresh does. So I entered my credit card details to pay for the extra and it automatically signed me up for weekly delivery. When I tried to cancel subscription, it asked me to call which is already an inconvenient because I know they will try to offer you stuff to try and get you stay on the subscription and I was right. when I refused and still asked for cancellation of subscription I was told if I cancel now it will also cancel the delivery that I already arranged using the voucher. At that point I said cancel everything I will not be using the voucher at all and they mentioned they will move it to once off delivery. This is a business model I despise wholeheartedly. Auto-subscription, making it hard for people to cancel, hard sell and then lie about my options to get me to stay in the subscription in the hope that I will forget maybe in a week time to cancel it. Basically making it so painful just to use a gift card and get the product that has been paid for.

Guosto is much better and easier to use. The Mindful chef app is not user friendly, the boxes are confusingly packed and you get all the recipes in a booklet instead of the ones just for you which mea s you have to search through it. I need to reschedule a delivery from Monday to Tuesday as I won't be in. The app won't let me it's saying it's already packed even though it's bit getting delivered for a few days I really hope fresh meat isn't being backed days before delivery. I've had to email them to try and get this changed. I have been trying a range of meal boxes like this and Guosto is definitely better. I was excited to use Mindful Chef as I thought it would be healthier and the produce better but I am disappointed. I think I will use another meal bix delivery company or just go back to getting a weekly shop delivered. I thought it would be less stressful but at least with a supermarket order you can pick your time slot and change when it's delivered very easily. After this week I'm going to cancel my subscription.

Started off with high hopes, trying mindful chief with their offer to see if it would be the provider for us. First two weeks the meals were great, sadly the meals ended up being more disappointing the following weeks. This service is aimed to help with having the ingredients ready for your evening meal, yet sadly as like most working a busy schedule can lead to missing deadlines and unlike other providers Mindful chief is not understanding at all with poor customer service leading to meals being sent that cannot be consumed due to dietary requirements. Although this issue was raised the day payment was taken , the only resolve was to give the food away while still taking payment , no effort to emend or cancel delivery that wouldn’t be sent out until Monday (I’m writing this on Friday). This has left a very sour taste with this company. I do not recommend this company , strongly advise to save your money and go elsewhere.

Not quite the time, labour, or money saver I had hoped for, unfortunately. There was a lot of chopping, slicing, and peeling (darn that butternut squash!), along with the associated mess. My expectation was that the ingredients would be pre-chopped and I would just need to execute the recipe. The actual meal results ranged from good to excellent, and the three I tried were all flavourful. I found the recipes a bit confusing, though; at the bottom it says, "1 makes 2!" and as I had ordered the 1-portion box, it got me wondering whether I should just make half the recipe since I just had one protein unit....but then I thought the whole idea was to make just enough. All in all I can't help but think I could have just as easily gone to the neighborhood market and picked up the ingredients myself. The only ingredient that was a bit quirky and probably not so readily available was the soluble coconut.

I am new to this and loved the recipes so far. Very flavourful and easy to make although seems bit pricey, also I had to use so many dishes frying pans pots etc to make one dish for one person but overall I guess I could live with it however ! I just been ripped off!!! when adding a desert to my order!!!… so the delivery charge is £4.99 for the meal plan I went to MY ORDER and added a small box of brownies (two pieces in a box at a price of £4) bit expensive but I really wanted to try as they looked good… so on delivery day I received two massive boxes one with the meal plan and one with this tiny desert and was charged two delivery costs!! So basically I paid £4.99 + £4 for a small box of brownies !! When questioned it I was told this is correct !? No where on the website it says deserts will be charged extra for delivery, I wouldn’t have bothered

I LOVE mindful chef. I've recommended them to so many people as they are fantastic. The meals are delicious and balanced to keep me fit while i train.The portions are really generous , and i sometimes can get 3 meals from my 2 person portion option. Its also really important for me to support local farms, eat organically where possible and have produce from UK. Mindful chef helps me achieve all of these. The meat is exceptional quality, to the point where i have also ordered meat from Farmisons independently. They are also careful with packaging and don't over use plastic or have recyclable options where possible This has improved over the years I've been a customer.They have also helped me explore more vegetarian and vegan options i wouldn't have tried before. They sometimes put little free gifts in the box which i love! Highly recommend 5*

Absolutely love Mindful Chef boxes. The recipes are always easy to follow and absolutely delicious, but healthy, filling and full of veg. We particularly like the vegan options as we like to keep a few meat free days each week, but when we do have meat or fish, we’re always really impressed with the quality. We’ve tried lots of recipe boxes and this is definitely our favourite. If I were being picky, the only thing that could be improved is the packaging as there is still a fair amount of single use plastic in there. It’s mainly for things that would have similar from the supermarket, such as a bag of spinach, but as each portion is separated, i do feel like it adds up. I do love that you can return some of the packaging for re-use though, but any additional steps to improve this would make the service pretty much perfect.

As per food deliveries, I’ve been always extremely satisfied with Mindful Chef. Me and my partner temporarily stopped our recipe deliveries due to a sharp rise in our spending due to moving to a new house and expecting a baby both happening at the same time but we still order ready meals, either via MC themselves or via Ocado, smoothies etc. What disappointed me, however, is MC deleting my comment on Instagram after I pointed out some real, sad facts about the current owners of LEON. I did so without using bad language, without being rude, I wasn’t shouty nor angry. I only stated facts that are no secret to the government, unions and media. It’s sad to see that MC would rather silence their customers’ experience than losing a financially attractive collab partner.

So we are now in week 10 of the menus and I am very impressed. We have been doing 5 days a week and the remaining two days in the week we are seriously thing what shall we cook? We started on the more expensive meals with fish and meat as we had 25% discount to start with. Since we have gone on to full price we have been dabbling with more veggie options and have been seriously impressed. We have cooked things that we would never have tried before. The quality of rhe ingredients is outstanding. The best thing out of this experience is that my wife and I cook together. I prep and she cooks. We work as a team pretty much every night and it is the biggest plus from the whole experience. Oh and the meals are great (and we aren't being paid for this review)

Mindful chef is an absolute lifesaver. I’ve used and loved it for about 8 months now but value it all the more at the moment. Having fresh, quality ingredients reliably delivered with easy to follow but delicious recipes is incredible. I really enjoy cooking the recipes and the food is always incredibly nourishing, fresh and comforting! I also cook things I never would normally and it vastly broadens my repertoire of midweek meals. The meals are incredibly delicious and you can really taste the high quality of every last ingredient. The people at mindful chef are incredibly reliable, focussed on sustainability and provide a thoughtfully executed unrivalled service. I really can’t praise them enough. Amazing service. Amazing food. Complete lifesaver!

I have been getting mindful chef for a while now. It's not great. The portions are tiny, it's meant to be for 4-5 people but I only manage to feed two kids and myself with each meal, and we are small people that eat regular portion sizes. The food is also often very bland and produce isn't the freshest- I always reach into my spice cupboard to give the dishes flavour, otherwise they would be bland. It's expensive for the quality really. Also if I'm being nit picky, the stuff isn't weighted out properly for the meals. I tried to persevere thinking it will get better, but it doesn't. One of the reviews posted pictures of two dishes that aren't even from mindful chef, I know because mindful chef doesn't send meat on the bone ever....

Just tried cooking the 2nd meal from mindful chef and I’ve never been so stressed out from cooking. I don’t understand how you can expect people to have 3/4 pots/pans on the go? I like vegetarian meals because they’re simple and easy and you guys have totally turned me off cooking for myself. The food isn’t even that tasty and it’s bland despite throwing in like 10 ingredients and spending ages cooking it. It would be nice to grade the meals on difficulty beforehand but nevertheless I’m gonna stick to my own simple stuff. I added a photo of tonight’s recipe where the requirement is 3 pans and pot to dissolve stock in. Also there are no carbs in tonight’s meal. Please consult a dietician to plan your meals better.

I started using Mindful Chef a few months ago and I honestly thought I would only get one box and then stop.. I couldn't see myself using a recipe box company all the time. But here I am, months later, still placing orders. I absolutely love it and I recommend it to all of my clients too. The recipes are delicious, healthy and flavoursome. The food is always fresh and delivered in a timely manner. The vegetarian and vegan options are brilliant too (being a veggie, this is important). The recipes are creative too, there's always something new and different to try and it has certainly made living a healthy lifestyle much easier! I would highly recommend that you give it a go! You won't be disappointed.

I truly believe that the concept is brilliant. This will greatly improve the variety of my meals and keep me healthy for sure. However, the 3 star rating is for: - - Packaging: Upon opening the box, there is 2 paper brown bags that contains the 2 recipes I bought. Inside each paper bag, there are PLASTIC, so many plastic packaging (picture). If these are just for one meal, imaging the amount of plactic waste if I were going to use Mindful Chef for a week, two meals a day. How hard is it to swap for environmentally friendly wrapping? I expect a new young brand to be more mindful of their environmental impacts. For now, I will stop using Mindful Chef until further improvement made by the company.

They are not a good value for the money, few times more expensive than Gousto and nowhere near as many choices. The meals are not as tasty either. On top of it their customer service is terrible. They had some system issue with card payments, and sent us a box that was not paid for. After which they kept hounding us on our holiday with texts and emails threatening to escalate it if we do not pay immediately. I managed to get access to a phone number and asked them to call me back in India, but suddenly they could not be bothered. Instead, I had to find a way to do a bank transfer. It was inconvenient and unnecessary. Terrible experience, and needless to say, we will not use them again.

I have been using Mindful Chef for a couple of years now. They have always given such excellent customer service and the food quality, recipes, efficiency has been superb. I love the way all the food for a recipe comes in one paper bag with minimum plastic wrapping and everything unedible can be recycled. The recipes are very clear and easy to follow and there is a good variety of choice every week. we've had a couple of issues with food not being fresh or wrong item but they have always been very quick to take this on board and compensate and very responsive when I contact them. Overall we are really impressed with this company is their quality of service and food.

As a new customer, I was really happy with my first box but on my second and third box there was at least one item where the packaging was already opened. I’ve emailed support and they’ve always replied in sufficient time, however when I asked for a refund this time for the damaged item, they’ve went and given me credit again. Which I probably won’t use and will lose out since this is now 2 times in a row this has happened to my deliveries. Edit: Added one more star for Jordon’s excellent customer service. I would reconsider using Mindfulchef again as I did love the recipes and the high-quality ingredients. I can only hope the delivery is more careful next time!

I have been having mindful chef for a couple of years and I can truly say the choice flavours and recipes are fantastic. We have a mix of plant based with fish and chicken sometimes. The choice of foods to meet your favourites is easy to do when you start and you can amend whenever you wish, skip weeks and now add fantastic smoothies and frozen meals for those late nights. Recent mindful chef launched Care Boxes which you Order as a one off or to suit and WOW! . Order and delivered 24 hours later. I’ve ordered 3 and the smoothies for my sister in isolation and as a veggie - she has loved them Give Mindful chef a go - well worth it and great customer service too!

It's ok...some meals were quite tasty (chicken katsu curry), and others not so good at all (and I'm not a particularly fussy eater). We did find the box always arrived on time though and the ingredients were of a good quality. I understand that mindful chef charge at a premium due their contribution to other causes and ethically sourced, good quality meat, etc. That's really great and why we tried them out, however, you don't really feel those benefits when you actually eat the food... and I've been left pretty disappointed on a few occasions. To top it off, my final box arrived today and entire recipe was missing too, so back out to the shops I go....

You can’t cancel without calling them I have used mindful chef several times over the years, its pricey when compared to buying the items from a supermarket or similar meal service, but I always found the ease of use and quality made up for it. However there seems to have been a recent dropoff in quality of service and food. I recently tried to cancel my deliveries but found that the website had been changed so that it is no longer possible to do so online. I appreciate this may be a bit of a petty item but I feel it speaks against their image of quality. I also received mouldy items as part of my latest delivery (which I was unable to cancel).

Was called by their marketing team to reactivate my subscription, and I declined. They then reactivated it anyway, ignored my email to cancel this (sent immediately after the welcome back email), and when I called to report the issue (the next day) they said it was "too late" to cancel the next box, but they would divert it to charity. Yet they have still charged me (without permission) and refuse to refund me (for a box I didnt order and won't receive) until they receive and listen to the unsolicited marketing call where I said I don't want to resubscribe. Absolutely appalling customer service, will never use this company again.

Mindful Chef really has changed the way I view cooking – now, rather than a laborious task I’d never bother with, I actually enjoy the process. With a great selection of recipes to choose from each week you never get bored. The ingredients are fresh and the finished dishes mouth-wateringly tasty. As someone with coeliac, it really helps that everything is gluten free so I don’t even need to worry about that side of things. I think the icing on the cake is the community element, with people sharing their experiences and the MC team chipping in and responding to queries where needed. I couldn’t recommend Mindful Chef enough!

Absolutely love Mindful Chef! I enjoyed my boxes so much I got the cookbook. I’ve tried the two other mainstream recipe services but what keeps me coming back to Mindful Chef is that the meals focus on good quality protein and a high amount of veg, the recipes are all gluten free but still very filling so you’re not loading up on gluten to bulk up the meal. I also like that I can have ad hoc deliveries and pause my subscription whenever I need as it gives me flexibility when in too busy to cook. Have bought the smoothies and frozen ready meals which are also very nice to keep in case of emergency healthy meals/breakfasts.

Third consecutive week that chicken has arrived open...Tired of reporting to customer services week after week, and have now resorted to a review. I have notified customer services that I am pregnant and cannot risk any gratuitous exposure to salmonella poisoning due to their poor packaging technique. They continue to arrive in the same condition week after week despite apologies. On the last occasion they just sent out the whole order again, this is fresh produce which needs to be eaten within a certain timeframe, would have much preferred a partial refund instead as we cannot physically eat that much food in a week!

Really tasty, really healthy, really great quality! I have been using Mindful Chef for just over a year now, first off it was meals for two and then my son came home from uni so since then we have been receiving weekly family boxes. The choice is brilliant and means there is always a healthy option in our fridge. They are a pleasure to cook, so easy and better still, there is zero waste and the portion sizes are extremely generous. The frozen meals and smoothies are also amazing and provide a quick fix if I am rushing out after a busy day at work. I would highly recommend Mindful Chef to everyone and anyone...

We love Mindful Chef and have been customers for quite a long time now. We have 2-3 meals a week and Mindful Chef never disappoints. Delicious and different meals - all very healthy. I love that they are gluten and dairy free. The portion sizes are more than adequate - great value for money. I love their ethos too - how they support the community - from the farmers and suppliers to giving back. The smoothie mixes are totally delicious and save us so much time in the morning. The frozen meals are also always in our freezer for those moments when we don't feel like cooking etc. Such a great company to support.

Cancelled after cooking the first 2 dishes from the first box I ordered at a discounted price of £65. Produce (meat for sure) is of great quality and that’s about it. The recipes are hard to read and the dishes are not cohesive, almost off-putting. I’ve had steak and black garlic pasta which tasted horrible and ruined the steak. Same with steak and roasted beetroot and nectarines - the dish was an odd combination of nice ingredients (why mint and beetroot with steak?!!) My husband and I couldn’t wait to finish the meals which we cooked only cause we didn’t want to throw away the ingredients….

I've used Mindful Chef for over a year and I'm still impressed with their offerings. The core range of the offer is the meal kits and aside from the quality ingredients, sourced across the UK as much as possible and from traceable sources, the flavours that their chefs get into the meals is impressive. The clue is in the business name, but it's worth remembering that these meals are a healthy balance of ingredients, not bulked out but contributing elements that create good meals helping you feel better everyday. I look forward to my weekly delivery and I am happy to suggest that you will also.

I thoroughly researched all recipe box companies before selecting Mindful Chef as I liked their ethos, values, suppliers, recipe selections, healthy eating approach, meals for one and Charity Partner as well as the fact that they were a young, new company. And I am absolutely delighted with my decision! The food is delicious and has resurrected my joy of cooking which had lain dormant for a long time! The portions are extremely generous - I have the box for one and there is sufficient for a portion to be frozen or eaten the next day. Highly recommended - and I rarely write reviews!

I can not fault Mindful Chef. I’ve been a customer over a year, nearly 2. The meals are delicious and rarely are fussy to prepare. Customer service is excellent and there’s a great FB community. Each meal you buy supports a meal to children in poverty, all meals are gluten and dairy free without compromises any they have many vegan options a each week. Ordering and changes are very easy. That have also coped brilliantly with the peak in orders during the CV-19 pandemic. Try them, you be surprised how great they are and the ingredients are excellent quality.

I have been using Mindful Chef for over a year and I’m really glad I do! As I had a long commute for work, I found I wasn’t eating as healthily as I’d like. With most similar suppliers they don’t cater for one which is why I initially opted for Mindful Chef. I have never been disappointed with the variety of recipes and the quality of ingredients. The online community is great for hints and tips as well. If you want a healthier eating plan or lack inspiration as to how to make meals more interesting then Mindful Chef is the way forward.

I am really enjoying MindfulChef. Meals are filling and very tasty. Delivery is timely and you can choose any day. I love that each week I can select the next weeks meals. How many I want and what I want. The ethically, locally produced, and low omissions linked to these boxes are a bonus as is the meal donated to a family in need with each box. What more can you ask for. Very competitive price wise, delicious, healthy, quick and varied meals and also helping to save the planet, reducing waste and helping those in need all in one box.

Feel like I’m on a mini cultural cooking course. The vegan recipes are absolutely delicious. Portion sizes are generous. Often enjoy leftovers, boosted with a little rice or something, the following day or pop them straight in the freezer. Parcels arrive on time. I’ve especially appreciated the reliability of this service during lock-down. The occasional vegetable has not been up to scratch but you never can tell what’s going on beneath the skin until you cut into it. Thank you to everyone at Mindful Chef. You are doing a great job.

Totally love Mindful Chef. We have enjoyed so many new food experiences since joining the Mindful Chef family. The meals are delicious 99% of the time and the recipes are very easy to follow. There is often lots of chopping to do, but that is because the majority of the ingredients have not been processed in any way. I would rather do the chopping than the shopping! I would and have recommended Mindful Chef to anybody who loves to eat responsibly sourced ingredients that have been put together to make some truly delicious dishes.

We have been mindful chef customers for 3 years. We started with mindful chef after having our first child. The meals are really healthy with lots of fresh vegetables, and no refined carbohydrates. The meals are easy to make and taste great. We hadn't eaten vegan meals at home before starting mindful chef, but we get them weekly now. A great way to learn how to cook vegan food, we don't even notice there is no meat in our meal. The customer service has always been fast and helpful. They have also been fantastic during lock down.

Added some items to my cart, didn’t check out. They tried to charge me anyway and sent the order! Crazy that they think it’s acceptable to trap someone into an order simply by browsing and adding items to a cart. This is absolutely not a normal way to place an order. In any case they had my old payment details so happy days. Their fault. Just to add insult to injury, they have threatened me with a debt collector now. This is unbelievable I never entered into any credit agreement. Customer service is beyond shocking.

They are literally life changers. Meals are delicious and portions are huge. You can pick up to 5 recipes a week from a really nice variety of options. Recipes are written in a simple language and are easy to follow. I appreciate additional information on the nutritions that they include. The only down for me is the delivery partners they use - DPD. Once in a while DPD delivers my package to a wrong address and I need to go searching for it. I don’t think Mindful chef can do anything with that though.

Started using Mindful Chef about 3 months ago. I love the recipes and concept. Initially I was very happy with the boxes but I have now had 3 boxes in a row with missing items or damaged unusable ingredients. Customer Services keeps giving me credits but I don't want that I want a good service that I can rely on. I am so disappointed going to give them one more chance and then give up if they can't get it right. Think they may have grown too fast and lost their quality control along the way

This is more than a recipe box, it's a way of life! Healthy, low-carb meals which taste great and introduce you to new ingredients. The process of discovery and preparation of Mindful Chef meals have been our daily work-week ritual now for almost three years, we are always a little excited about our next box. Best of all, this is an ethical company that sources top ingredients from local producers, with a brilliant social responsibility programme and a highly effective service culture.

I have been having meals from Mindful Chef for over a year and it is the best decision I ever made. The recipes are great and the produce sent is always very good. The pork has the best flavour I’ve ever had, and the vegan meals have opened up new recipes for me. So many flavours that compliment each other. Having contacted the office on a couple of occasions I can also say that the staff I have spoken to could not have been more helpful. I can highly recommend Mindful Chef.

I love mindful chef so much, I started ordering a few months ago & never looked back, its so easy & the meals are delicious, my days of standing in a supermarket trying to think of what to cook are behind me!! I have the vegan meals & they are so tasty, theres so much variety, we have a different selection of meals every week! I couldn't sing their praises enough! Healthy, delicious, easy recipes delivered to your door, what more could you want :-) Thank you mindful Chef!!

I really enjoy my weekly delivery with Mindful Chef. Tasty, interesting dishes, great quality ingredients - and the way they handled this crisis is also exemplary. It’s great to switch it up a couple for items a week and learn new recipes. Absolutely recommend these delicious boxes. (Only downside is that most of the dishes include a lot of steps so if you are more for very simple recipes, stick to the family or 15 minute ones. Or prep and chop everything in advance. ;) )

As a single person I am SO pleased to be able to buy one person portions so there is no food waste. I really hope Mindful Chef keep that! As for the food, every meal I have cooked is absolutely deliciously gorgeous and I'm impressed with the quality of ingredients. I enjoy a weekly mixture of meat, fish and veggie dishes and I can get them all here. The recipes are healthy, simple to follow, don't take ages to cook and in my opinion the best out there!

I've been using Mindful Chef for over 16 months now and I absolutely love them. The service is great, food is delivered fresh and on time, choice of recipes is great & the meals are healthy and delicious! They have been truly wonderful with food deliveries during this pandemic - I have totally relied on them and I have not been disappointed! Major points for their environmental commitments and the 1 feeds 2 campaign. Keep up the fantastic work! xx

These meal kits have been brilliant for my family. We have a plant based diet and there is such a wonderful variety of colours, tastes and textures each week. We have lost weight in a healthy way and get excited about each meal to the extent that photos are often taken and family want the recipe. It's good value for money as there is no waste and it is restaurant quality food. The customer service is excellent and any issues resolved well.

Mindful chef has made my life so much easier! Great food and delicious recipes which have made me excited to come home and cook. I like it because with other food boxes they don't really allow for single people. I love that the recipes can be for one person and we are not penalised! Also very efficient and friendly customer service. And cool that you can fit it to your own schedule, for me this is a real plus. Thank you Mindful Chef!! :)

Loved ordering frozen meals through the pandemic. Food was fresh and tasted very homemade. I recently ordered a frozen box and to my disappointment, the food was not as fresh or as tasty as I remembered. A couple of the plastic microwaveable packaging was broken so didn’t feel comfortable consuming and had to throw out. It was also weeks after I’d ordered so didn’t feel I could get the replaced, so didn’t bother contacting the company.

I have been a Mindful Chef customer since the beginning of 2017 and aside from holidays and the occasional week when I am away for work I order two meals per week religiously. First it was just because the recipes were so delicious and healthy but in late 2017 I had to go vegetarian for health reasons. Mindful Chef vegan meals are brilliant and have changed my whole attitude to a plant based diet. I would recommend them to everyone!

Bad service. Website doesn't work, it's impossible to cancel unless you call an agent. I used to order Hello fresh for a while, but decided to change to Mindful Chef just to try it out. I knew it was more expensive, so i thought the quality would be better. But I received a chicken that had a dark/odd colour. I started to cook it, and immediately turned dark grey (no it wasn't burnt). I felt so bad for throwing away the chicken :(

Amazing company! Food is delicious and their customer service is excellent! Clearly a company that has strong values, ethics and puts their customers first. Love all the new frozen meals and smoothies too! Great if you are having a detox or just want a few nights a week eating good healthy good. Gluten free, dairy free, good quality meat and fish and lots of vegan options too! Would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Amazing healthy and delicious meals! We've really loved our experience with Mindful Chef!! The meals are really creative, healthy and delicious. We're always surprised by the meal portions (they're huge!) but are extremely balanced and being gluten free, they're guilt free too! We've really enjoyed learning the new recipes, which are so much easier to cook than we initially thought. Overall, super happy customers here :)

Our second box arrived on Wednesday and we were hoping it would be an improvement from the first box. Unfortunately we had to throw out the cod because it was off and smelled terrible and also throw out some of the vegetables (like this aubergine pictured) because they were rotten. Not worth the money. We’ll be going back to HelloFresh as they have better recipes, adult size portions and charge a fraction of the price.

We joined MC just before lockdown back in March 2020. I've now cooked .. just short of 250 of their meals! Can honestly say they are almost always excellent, the recipes are easy and sooo healthy. Best thing though is the customer service which is totally brilliant. Very occasional delivery issues are immediately sorted out with no questions asked. We love their school meal work and the whole ethos - a great company.

Do not use mindful chef….or if you do…be VERY careful with your subscription, I accidentally turned my subscription back on, thought I turned it back off but nope….£50 out of my account and meals arrived today, meals that I wouldn’t have picked either. Emailed them which did not really help. She said they send an email but I haven’t seen that email. Feels quite sneaky and not transparent with their subscriptions.

Great recipes, very easy to follow and they all feel deliciously healthy as well as filling. Lots of choice, but we have been eating more vegan food than we expected, because the flavours are delicious! Mindful Chef has made us experiment with different ingredients. It has been really useful during lockdown, and we have sent a package to my parents who are shielding and relying on online deliveries. Thank you.

Many meals in the frozen range are very unhealthy. A Panang Chicken Curry with black rice for example has a whopping 12g of saturated fat and 3.44g of salt. In comparison to a Big Mac, this meal is 40% higher in saturated fat, and over 50% higher in salt. Whilst this company has great recipe box meals, hopefully it can bring the same creativity and "mindfulness" into their frozen meals in the future too.

I love Mindful Chef. We have used a few recipe boxes over the years and Mindful Chef is by far the best. We always try to make sure the meat we eat is ethically sourced and so ordering Mindful Chef helps us achieve that. We’ve ordered every week since January and never been let down. The box arrives on time, is of good quality and the recipes always delicious. I have no criticism whatsoever.

Mindful chef have really helped us change our eating habits. Having become vegetarian I was struggling to combine my new diet with my family’s diet and Mindful Chef have not only made this easier but also tempts my kids and husband to try new things. Great service and great choice. Easy to follow recipes - my kids are more than happy to cook from these recipes without me which is a bonus!

I ordered 3 boxes and I enjoyed the taste and quality of food. I decided to discontinue as I did not enjoy the actual cooking, prefer takeaways. I reduced a star because they make you call them and wait for ages to cancel subscription. Their help section says you can cancel from website. That is false information! Any service that makes it difficult to cancel, can't get a 5 star.

We used to regularly order the frozen ready meals and absolutely loved them. They were filling and incredibly tasty. A few months ago they changed their branding, and with it reduced the size of the meals by taking out all the protein it seems. Now the meals are mainly sauce and rice, with very little chicken etc. We're so disappointed and won't be ordering again.

We have been using Mindful Chef for our weekday meals for nearly 2 yrs now. The food and service have been outstanding - great recipes, healthy food, easy to follow and put together, no waste and cost effective. It's brilliant not to have to think about what to eat! Any issues (there haven't been many at all) are dealt with rapidly by the exceptional sales team.

Have been using Mindful Chef for a couple of years now. Fantastic selection of recipes, healthy , well balanced and a good choice from meat eaters to Vegans. I love the fact that they deal direct with the producers and use free range meat and eggs. I also love that they give something back too, with the meals for children living in poverty. Go Mindful Chef

I order at least 2 Mindful Chef meals each week. I haven't had a bad meal yet, every single one is straightforward and tasty. I try and stick to the vegan dishes, I never thought that vegetables and beans could be turned into such tasty meals. I love the fact that you get the exact amounts of everything needed, no more wastage! Would definitely recommend.

I've tried the different recipe box services, and Mindful Chef is definitely my favourite. Excellent quality ingredients, great portions, exciting and tasty recipes, great customer service and deliveries. They were also the only service who had a great number of vegan options when I subscribed as well as an option for a single person. Highly recommend!

We have been having mindful chef meals between 2-5 nights a week for the last 18 months and have loved every meal we have had...literally! The meals are healthy but also a great portion. Always delivered on time (the occasional item missing) but I can’t recommend this way of cooking life enough with this environmentally conscious fantastic company.

I love being signed up for Mindful Chef! Getting all the ingredients weighed out and together in a bag with instructions is ideal when you have little time but want really yummy, healthy meals. I could never manage this without these boxes. The choice is great; we always go for the vegan options and these are varied and different each week.

Whilst the food is healthy and enjoyable, we have now had gone off fish delivered twice. This is completely unacceptable at the price point as they market themselves as a premium brand and we are having to buy replacement fish. Be mindful of this when ordering. On both occasions, the fish went off a couple of days before the use by date.

I have been a subscriber to Mindful chef since March 2020. They use DPD who are a good courier so no issues there. The ingredients are good quality and meat & fish is fresh. I can normally find two recipes a week that I like. The quality of ingredients is far superior to hello fresh who I have also tried and the meals are healthier.

I have been a big fan of Mindful Chef meals for over a year now with their great variety of fresh, imaginative, easy to cook ingredients but since the lockdown they have been a lifesaver. No problem thinking what to prepare or how to make it tasty and nutritious. All in the bag! A lovely company with the highest of standards!

We were having gousto for the last couple of years or so but fancied a change and OMG it was worth it. It is more expensive but the quality is much better and the food recipes have been absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't recommend this company more. Oh also I am vegan and I'm eating the best food I've had in ages.❤️

Impossible to cancel, no one answers the call and you can’t just cancel in the app. Two weeks in a row no “new starter discount” applied, even after contacting via email and being told it would be taken off the next box. Items came mouldy. Scam company who want loads of money and make it impossible to leave.

I get three meals a week and they’re probably my healthiest and tastiest meals of the week too! I started by choosing my meals but now wait to be surprised! Never been disappointed and look forward to cooking them which for me is unusual! Highly recommend specifically for single people like me.

Having a busy lifestyle and a family who always have a different menu to myself, I thought I would try frozen meals from the Mindful Chef. Cannot fault these lovely healthy dishes full of goodness. I've only tried the vegan and fish range, but I can honestly say tasteful healthy meals so far.

After an initial problem that was very well handled by Mindful Chef, we are loving the food and loving the fact that it’s not only ethically sourced, and uses mainly organic produce, but also that each time we order our meals the Mindful Chef team give a meal to children in poverty.

We have been using Mindful chef for well over a year now. Absolutely love the fresh and healthy recipes. We are enjoy all the meals whether they be vegan through to chicken and fish based meals. Always new ideas and flavours we wouldn’t normally think of. Great customer service too.

We’ve been using Mindful Chef for most of our weekly meals for the best part of a year and rate them highly. Good quality ingredients, healthy and very tasty! The flavours are great and we often say the food we’ve prepared tastes like restaurant quality rather than home cooked food!

Don’t think the automatic subscription with no notification emails is fair. mindful chef just sent me £70 worth of unasked for food which will now go to waste. Have also noticed that the food is often arriving less fresh than it used to. Expensive and no longer worth that premium.

Love the boxes but they are expensive so can only be a treat. I've had to leave however as the obsessive 5 to 10 emails a day is driving me crazy. 1 sales message a day is excessive but you are going to drive customers away hounding the way you are at the moment its relentless.

I have been using Mindful Chef for almost 2 years now and I absolutely love the variety (especially as a vegan). It also means I don't have to think about what I am cooking every night - saving me so much time. Plus the recipes are delicious!

We used to use Hello Fresh (for around 2 years) and had a few bad experiences with their customer service. We also wanted to be a bit more healthy so decided to give Mindful Chef a go. We weren't disappointed! The food is excellent and very

We have been having Mindful Chef weekly deliveries for a while now, we have the vegan selection. The recipes each week are always varied and delicious, you have the option to pick your favourites from a selection or see what you’re sent. We

Excellent. We’ve had for about 5 months now and never eaten the same meal twice. The quality of ingredients and recipes are impressive. Weve also found the pricing itself better than the supermarket in many cases and the businesses MC uses

I have been buying Mindful Chef boxes for a couple of years now. The ingredients are always fresh and carefully sourced. There is a range of recepies each week to choose from and to suit most tastes. The unique selling point is that they

Two boxes in and almost everything was smashed and spilled in the box. I had a few interactions with them and eventually they came back and sorted everything out. I have ended up having to go out and replace all the tins, some spices and

Mindful Chef are an excellent company that deliver a great variety of delicious and straight-forward recipe boxes with tasty and fresh ingredients. They also have a wonderful range of fruit smoothies that I have for breakfast every day.

Every meal feels special. I love the thought and imagination that goes into all the recipes to ensure they are healthy and also ethically sourced. Been using Mindful Chef for at least a year now and never been disappointed. Amazed how

I normally skip dinners or opt for a takeaway as I get too busy to even think about dinner. Having a Mindful Chef box ordered each week helps me prioritise dinner, which is super important. Wouldn't go back. Thanks MC.

Just had the Massaman Prawn Curry with courgettes and green beans. Disappointing. I love Asian food and this was so bland I struggled to taste anything discernible. Had to add lots of spices seasoning to rescue it.

A fantastic meal delivery service with really great healthy menus and wonderful fresh produce. The portion size is generous and the menus do vary a lot. They were a life savour during the lockdown. Thanks guys

I’ve been using Mindful Chef for a few months now and I love this service! Cooking has never been challenging for me but I often struggle with finding the

I love cooking, but having recently had a baby I found it difficult to find the time to cook new and healthy food, as well as scout for ingredients.

Meals are good, good variety. I eat quite a lot so I need to order family packs. The options are a lot healthier than other food services

Recipe sometimes too complex with little flavour payout; and keeps on including olive oil in recipes which they dont include in the box.

Great nutritious meals that come straight to your doorstep. Makes eating healthy during the week a breeze, would recommend!

Really tasty recipes. Weekly deliveries help me stay healthy. The quality is far superior to others/the supermarket.

Have been using mindful chef for a while now and the things I like about it are:
