Last year when I went for a vacation in the UK, Diet Chef was recommended for me because I needed to continue my gluten-free diet even while on vacation. Their meal helped me keep true to my diet goals and ambitions.

Honest feedback

I will provide honest feedback. I run my own company and my professional background is in business strategy and change. I am happy to support you.

The meals are very nice.

The things I was not happy with:
Product shelf life of Pancake mix - June 2026
Chilli con carne - this is a dinner not just mince - t should be with rice
Your marketing is misleading - when you look at 'Choose a Plan', you refer to '1 month' etc, but the plans are 28 days - this is mis-aligned.

Hi Susannah,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really pleased to hear you are enjoying the meals.

We’re sorry to hear your comments regarding the product details and how the plans are presented. To clarify, all of our plans are structured as 28-day plans, as deliveries are sent every 28 days. We then offer a range of plan durations from 1–6 months, depending on your goals and how long you choose to stay on the programme.

We do our best to be as transparent as possible, and if you ever have any questions or would like anything clarified, our member support team is always available to help at info@dietchef.co.uk.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback.

Hi Caroline,

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed that your meals did not include accompaniments such as rice.

Our meals are designed as balanced main dishes to support a healthy weight loss of 1-2lbs per week. While some of our mains do come with rice, we do recommend adding fruit, vegetables, and dairy where needed to compliment the meals.

If you would like any support with choosing meals that better suit your preferences, our member support team is available at info@dietchef.co.uk.

Once it arrived

Once it arrived, after delays, why ask for a delivery day, which I opted for almost a week after putting in my order, as I knew I would be in. But no, maybe next day or the day after. Not a good start. The jury is out on the meals at the moment.

The food appears to be a little dry, not sure when it was vacuum sealed.
I have had diet chef before approx 20 years ago and enjoyed the variety.
This Bach appears different and breakfast and lunches are similar and coouring and textures taste same.
I asked for gluten free option yet only 2 -3 cereals state gluten free.
I did enjoy pancake mix the best.

Hi Manjit,

Thank you for your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear that some of the meals have not fully met your expectations in terms of texture and variety. Our meals are vacuum sealed for freshness and to support a longer shelf life, but we appreciate that this may not always match everyone’s personal preference.

We’re also sorry for any confusion around the gluten-free options. While we do offer a range of gluten-free suitable meals, we understand it can feel limited, and we’ll ensure your feedback is shared with the relevant team for review.

It’s great to hear you enjoyed the pancake mix the most, and if you’d like any help selecting meals that better suit your preferences for future deliveries, our member support team would be happy to assist at info@dietchef.co.uk.

Plenty of variety in tastey foods.

I have enjoyed most of the food (just a couple of not nicers) and have lost a steady two pounds a week. Only wanted a month's supply so cancelled from then which was charged at £50. Though not ideal, my cancellation was dealt with efficiently and swiftly by Jenny.

Hi Clarence,

Congratulations on your weight loss — two pounds a week is a great steady result!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you’ve generally enjoyed the meals, and that your cancellation was handled efficiently and swiftly by Jenny. We’re sorry to hear a couple of items weren’t to your taste, and we appreciate all feedback as it helps us improve.

Just to clarify, we have a cancel-any-time policy with no cancellation fees. However, as longer plans are offered at a discounted rate compared to shorter plans, if you cancel early we simply ask that the difference between the discounted longer plan and the shorter duration completed is covered.

If you have any questions in future, our member support team is available at info@dietchef.co.uk.
