Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 785 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the variety of delicious and easy-to-follow recipes, often highlighting the generous portion sizes and the inclusion of many vegetables. The convenience of pre-portioned, fresh ingredients is a significant plus, making cooking more accessible and enjoyable for many. Reviewers also value the flexibility to customize orders, skip weeks, and cater to specific dietary needs. However, some people were dissatisfied with issues related to orders and cancellations, reporting missing ingredients, entire meals, or incorrect items in their boxes. There are also concerns about the quality of some ingredients, particularly meat, and difficulties with the cancellation process, with some being charged despite attempts to cancel. Delivery service is another point of contention, with complaints about unreliable couriers, late deliveries, and boxes being left in inappropriate locations.

Most annoying company ever

Recipe boxes were delicious but lacked enough protein so I always had to add more tofu etc making it expensive. For this reason i unsubscribed but the company have not left me alone, constant emails, leaflets, phone calls. I have repeatedly asked for them to remove my details from their system but the pestering continues.

Keto meals

We’ve been ordering Green Chef’s keto meals every week and have been really happy with the service. The meals are tasty, filling, and genuinely keto-friendly, with good variety from week to week. The convenience of pre-portioned ingredients saves us time, and the ingredients have consistently arrived fresh. Overall, Green Chef has made keto meal planning much easier, and we’d definitely recommend it.

I have bought a box for 2 people for 4 days, for the past 4 weeks the meals are quick and easy and tastes great, my only issue is the fresh meat in the meals for 2 weeks in row I’ve had to throw the chicken and the pork this week as it is seriously going off. The dates are only lasting to my fourth day. This is the only reason I am giving it 3 stars

Absolutely disgusting customer service.

Absolutely disgusting customer service.

I signed up to Green Chef and paid for my first box, but after looking through the meal options I decided to cancel because there was nothing I wanted. When I contacted Green Chef to request a refund, they claimed I hadn’t paid for anything, even though the payment had been taken.

I have now had to leave the matter with PayPal and my bank to resolve, which should not be necessary for something so straightforward.

Very disappointing experience and extremely poor customer service. Be warned.

Don’t bother to ask me to contact your customer service team to sort. I tried twice and got no where.

Just read other people’s reviews. There is a common pattern with this company.

Great meals when they arrive, but inconsistent service

The meal kits themselves are generally good quality, and when everything arrives as expected the recipes are easy to follow and the meals taste great.
Unfortunately, we've experienced a few issues with deliveries over time. On several occasions boxes have either arrived late or not turned up as expected, and we've also had instances where recipe cards have been missing from the delivery. While these issues can usually be worked around using the app or website, it's frustrating when you're relying on the service for meal planning during the week.
Overall, it's a good service with decent food and recipe options, but the reliability of deliveries and occasional missing items prevents me from rating it any higher.

Almost perfect!

I've used 2 other recipie box companies in the past and like all of them for the convenience and variety of recipies they offer but I prefer green chef as their recipies include more vegetables. The only thing I don't like about their kits is some ingredients are ultra processed foods. (This may just be me being fussy as this is something I've researched a lot and try to avoid but equally is getting more reported on in the press). It would be helpful if they could either add a no upf category to their preference list and/or rethink ingredients ie coconut milk (upf) can be swapped for coconut blocks.

Took money for goods they are not supplying

Took payment even though my subscription was cancelled.

Showed no active deliveries. No subscriptions.

Suddenly a charge! Website shows no subscription but a box is pending. I repeatedly get mysteriously disconnected from chats trying to sort it so open a PayPal dispute.

I speak to green chef and they refuse to refund unless I cancel the PayPal dispute.

No order confirmation, no dispatch, no tracking. The only place this box is showing that was UNAUTHORISED is in past deliveries on their website.

I suggest anyone else dealing with this uses PayPal dispute or a chargeback to get your money back. Signing up to browse a subscription is not authorised a full charge.

I would also strongly recommend escalation to trading standards as this is a long-standing ongoing issue.

UPDATE - The box was due to be delivered today. On the app it's showing as delivered, on the website showing as first delivery on its way. I spoke to customer service to see if that was the case and was told the box had been cancelled. Despite this they still have not refunded me.

Again I got a script word for word saying that they cannot process a refund unless I cancelled the PayPal dispute.

They have now officially taken money for a product they have not and have no intention of providing. Conveniently any attempt to discuss these issues will get you disconnected from chat leaving you only an option of speaking with customer service by phone where they attempt to gaslight you into relinquishing your buyer protection to get a refund.

If you are told to cancel a PayPal dispute or charge back for a refund DO NOT DO SO. They can refund via PayPal. See other multiple one star reviews.

I will now be escalating this to trading standards.

When a business refuses to refund you but fails to supply the goods, they are in breach of contract. You are legally entitled to your money back.

This company are practicing potentially illegal and unscrupulous practices

Beware of trick sign up process

The sign up process has you enter your payment details , then select boxes. At this point I found one recipe in my criteria Keto/Pescatarian , which was how they marketed themselves to be. I instantly cancelled giving the reason. A week later I can see a payment pending on my bank account even though everything is cancelled. There is no way that green chef would have been inconvenienced in the time that this all took place. I feel like I’m being scammed at this point.
