Absolutely delicious meals, really original and super tasty. Not something I'd cook at home either, so nice to have some variety. We've tried 4 of their dishes so far and every one has been fantastic... See more

Nothing like it

Great food, unbeatable price, perfect service, friendly staff, incredibly helpful booking and cancelling method. Food is a little high in calories and with some questionable, and even hard to pronounce, preservatives; otherwise the rating would've been 5 out of 5

Lunch saviours!

I've been using the service for around 3 months regularly and I'm in love...

What do I love about it?
- The food is tasty and varied
- Packaging is actually compostable (no plastic lining inside like the majority of food cardboard boxes)
- Being able to cancel anytime? Priceless.
- £4.85 total?! Unbeatable.

Thank you DAD.

I am not even a VEGAN BUT

Felt obliged to write this review as not often these days you come across a company that has got it all spot on:
1. Price very reasonable as it also includes delivery in the 4.85.
2. Meals varied and given they are vegan its harder to make them exciting yet they are most of the time amazing.
3. Cust service spot on
4. Delivery by bike and degradable boxes.
Why cant we have a meat version like this even if its more expensive, in fact why couldn't all companies be like this both service, quality value for money and environmentally responsible, well done guys.

AH-mazing

This is a revelation, especially for vegans. The food is so tasty and so varied and so CHEAP! This has changed my office lunch routine and I hope it expands to further regions to skip dinner prep :)

This company seemed like exactly the kind of service I've been looking for for quite a while. Healthy food prepared and delivered to doorstep sounds simple and I can't believe nobody's done this before but it's brilliant.

I'm not vegetarian or vegan but I I'm quite healthy and also very busy so this is a perfect fit for my lifestyle.

Dad haven't asked me to leave a review I just wanted to come here and post this because I'm so happy with the service.

I'm recommending it to all my family and friends in London.

Best discovery of the year

An absolute gem of a find for delicious affordable lunches brought to your doorstep. I am not vegan nor vegetarian but these meals are delicious and I look forward to my wfh days for this special treat. I was curious about the portion size from pics on the app but it was actually much bigger than anticipated and certainly very filling. Excellent variety of dishes and very tasty lunches you can’t source from the usual lunch haunts. Will certainly keep using and encourage all to try

Delicious, Convenient and very reasonably priced

I'm very lazy with lunches and would often find myself having yet another boring meal deal. But now, for not much more I can have a delicious, healthy meal brought directly to me. I'm not a vegetarian/vegan but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying the food. I love that I'm not forced to lock in to a long subscription since I can decide which meals I want without worrying about not liking something. The recyclable packaging and bicycle delivery is also a big plus from an environmental and sustainability side.

If I had to pick one bad thing, there are a view minor bugs with the app, but this is to be expected from any start-up. I'm sure they will be fixed soon and it hadn't stopped me from leaving a 5-star review

Good food at a very good price

Good food at a very good price. They are great. Friendly delivery people. I am not vegetarian and I really like those easy & healthy lunch. I would cost me more in time and money if I needed to go pick up a quick lunch. I live in Islington and compared to when I go to the office near some central London market, there are not that many good options (just supermarket or fast-food). So it's great when I work from home to save me time (no need to go out as they deliver to my door and I spend less than in most place) for a nice lunch. I also enjoy the fact the menu varies.
You can try them with a referral code for a 2-week 25% discount.
Small business like them need to be supported and discovered by more people, long life to DAD! :)

I only have goood things to say

I just ordered today for the first time and I only have good things to say. I think it’s such a good idea and amazing initiative. The food is really yummy and well cooked (feels good to eat warm food after eating pret every day). The delivery is perfect time in the morning plus you can choose where to get it delivered (I get it delivered to my work and they leave it at the reception) They also make it super easy to cancel any time (and they will actually cancel it without charge)

I think it’s such an amazing initiative that everything is vegan and all the packaging is degradable (and the food is so good!!!), i really hope the business grows because it really is worth it. They just gained a permanent customer!

Was pretty solid before

Was pretty solid before they switched to automatically ordering food unless you opt-out. The only way to only order on e.g. one specific day of the week is to manually cancel every day or delete your card info and readd it once a week.

Hi Noemi,

Thanks for your feedback, and I can appreciate that it doesn't seem like it's the best solution from some customers' perspectives.To keep the service open for customers who order less regularly, and to continue operations at all, we've moved our model to a very flexible subscription model. This is to allow customers to order more easily and to not have to rely on remembering to do so frequently. It also allows for customers, who don't order so frequently to still access the service, without too much inconvenience.

We tried to make a completely ad-hoc ordering system work for our first twelve months, but despite all the notifications and improvements in food, the average customer is ordering too infrequently and the main reason for this is because our old ordering system relied on people being well organised, very regularly, which isn't generally the case.

If we enabled a dual service, then it's unlikely anyone would opt for the subscription style model (because it's unlikely that people will choose to subscribe to something when ad-hoc orders are available), which, we believe, is the only viable business model.

Sorry, I hope this isn't too much detail, but hopefully you can see why we have had to make this decision and how much consideration has gone into it.

I really hope you can give the new service a go, but there's certainly no pressure to if you don't like how it works.

Thanks,
Jamie

Absolutely unpaid review, terrific service

Absolutely unpaid, genuine review from someone who is simply ecstatic about the service and wants as many people as possible to know about it!

Food is great and super varied--instead of four hundred variations of "soup and sandwich and salad" that everyone in my office gets, I'm eating properly portioned (and seasoned!) cuisines from all over the world.

Delivery is also super reliable--drivers always drop off my meals without my input. Love that the packaging is entirely compostable as well.
