Worry free cooking

Excellent service, from delivery to each meal packed in one bag. Appreciate knowing in advance daily meals, not having to think of what to cook each day. Delicious flavors 😋

As advertised.

Great recipes, especially to share the cooking load across the whole family. Noone asks "What's for dinner". As advertised, as expected. Deliveries prompt, communication spot on. I would like to see a return to less soft plastic, more paper bags.

Incredible choice

Every meal is a lot more tasty that I thought they would be. I’ve done food boxes years ago and it became very same same in taste. I love that you can choose from so many meals and that it’s easy to change how many people and meals you get. Great for flexibility.

The meals are tasty and I appreciate the convenience, however every week there is something wrong. Either with the ingredients or the delivery, or the instructions or not including the right recipe, or no recipes at all. I don’t think I would recommend your service to others.

Apart from the meat for tonight’s dinner I am really happy with the meals. Unfortunately when preparing tonight’s meal (Teriyaki ginger beef - No.2) there were two big pieces of fat with no meat attached and also several pieces of meat that were 3x the size of the rest. It appeared whoever packed the meat was having a bad day! Unfortunately, not the usual high quality I’ve come to expect from Hello Fresh. I’m hoping it won’t happen again.

We appreciate you sharing your feedback regarding the Teriyaki ginger beef meal. We are genuinely concerned to hear about the quality of the meat you received, particularly the excess fat and inconsistent sizing. We understand this is not the high standard you expect from us, and we are disappointed that your experience fell short. We are actively reviewing our packing processes to prevent similar occurrences in the future and ensure the consistent quality of all our ingredients. We value your continued support and are committed to providing you with excellent meal experiences.

Good choice of meals

Great variety of meals and we're enjoying the quick meals at the moment. I would encourage you to look at the calories, sugar and sodium levels of each recipe as they can be very high. Also the salad part of the meals are a bit boring, I wouldn't call spinach and radish a salad? Can't say I love all the plastic satchets either. The convenience of having all your meals planned and delivered is definitely worth it!

I like the convenience and tasty recipe. Sometimes the flavour can get quite repetitive. There are also times where the ingredients are not always fresh.

Proportions of ingredients are often way off the mark. For example 2 small potatoes for two people can barely make enough chips for 1.

When getting double protein, theres often not enough seasoning to spread across.

The cheesecakes are disgustingly, no surprise they're offered for free

Only worth it at 40% off

Many vegetables are either tiny or in poor condition, there is so much non recyclable waste and there are more and more menu items that cost extra.

It's convenient and worth it at 40% off only. My Food Bag is far better at the above.

Delivery and menu…

So far we were meant to have had 3 boxes. The 1st was delivered at our neighbour, rather than at ours. 3rd one hasn't arrived at all. After a long hassle on phone, the agent told us it will be reimbursed. Still waiting. But it was inconvenient to scramble around for dinner at 6pm at night.
It is difficult to get a problem resolved. The bod is useless and just keep on saying, "Can't answer your query."
Quality of food ok but very carbohydrate heavy.

We are loving the variety of flavours and ingredients.
We eat more fresh and non-processed foods now.
Delivery has always been fantastic except for the one courier who ignored the instructions written on the box.
If I had to fault anything, it would be that some of the items are short dated or the fresh veges dont always last the week without some form of degradation.

The worst experience of my life

The worst experience of my life. I would strongly suggest using any other provider; everything from the order that I was sent without notification until a text on the day to the cancellation which they wont accept the chat although it says the box is on us and was on the 11th 7 days before delivery the quality of the food fogotten items

Really disappointing experience

Really disappointing experience with HelloFresh. My deliveries were paused and somehow the delivery was unpaused without me realising. Meals were then selected that I wouldn’t have chosen myself, and honestly, looking at the meals that were selected, none of them are even things I would want.

I contacted support as soon as I realised what had happened, but because the box was already in transit there was apparently nothing they could do. I’m also not going to be home until Friday, and the solution was basically to find someone else to collect it.
