Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with their orders, frequently reporting that items never arrived or were incorrect, with missing meals or substitutions made without communication. Customers also experienced significant issues with delivery, noting long delays, defrosted food upon arrival, and damaged packaging. Reviewers consistently highlighted a complete lack of response from the company across all contact methods, including email, social media, and phone, leaving them without updates or resolutions for their issues. The products themselves were also a source of disappointment for some, with concerns about small portion sizes and insufficient protein.

Update of review

I left a review before but wanted to update. Despite all the ignored messages and unfulfilled orders, the company disputed my chargeback with the bank!!! So they definitely know exactly what they’re doing. Shady!!!

They are a scam

The website is simply open still to scam people out of money. You will never receive your order or a response from the company. Had to request a refund through my bank

WARNING

Ordered a week's worth of vegan meals to treat myself as I've been really struggling with my mental health while studying and I thought this might help. Was scheduled to arrive today and the money has gone from my account. It hadn't arrived by 4pm so I logged into my account - the order has been wiped "there are no orders on your account". Messaged them via webchat, no response, so I sent them an email and then looked them up on here. WOW - a whole year's worth of complaints! Looks like the company folded some time last year but rather than closing the website and doing so properly, they just started ghosting their customers but still taking payment for orders!!! I wonder how many people they have stolen money from!!!
I called my bank to dispute the sale so I should hopefully get my £33 refunded but apparently can't report the company?? That "if enough people dispute sales the company will get flagged up & investigated for fraud" but that doesn't seem to be the case if they've been robbing people blind for the best part of a year and the site is still in the top 3 search results on google!
Shocking!!

No food arrived!

Five days after ordering and still no food delivered or any update on when it will be shipped. No replies to my emails for an update. Don't waste your time or money with this company!

I have created an account solely to write this review. Do not order from here. I don’t think they exist anymore but will still take your money. I had to get my credit card company to refund me as the food never showed. They never delivered anything. Do not order please.
