Great after-sales care; Good customer engagement; fresh recipe ideas; plenty of choice
The team are always very helpful in terms of any after-sales care in my experience. There is usually plenty of choice whenever it comes to ordering. The accompanying books are brimming with ideas and there's always plenty of inspiration to be had from the recipes themselves which involves recycling any leftover ingredients into other dishes. If I could, I would certainly award MC five stars, based on the company ethos and model (of which little has changed in terms of obtaining sustainable ingredients from home-grown sources). However, while I understand that sustainable ingredients are the very bedrock of the company's values, it does put it on a more expensive footing versus its competitors. That being said, I appreciate the fact that it supports flexibility for consumers whose lifestyle is more 'ad hoc' in terms of its ordering system.
Finally - while this is by no means a deal-breaker - having seen revised layout of the MC recipe book (which I thought was much improved and a lot easier on the eye) I was somewhat dismayed to see that the recipe book has been reverted back to something resembling how it was before the change. Mindful Chef is always keen to engage with the consumer (another of its values and strengths) and as consumers we were asked to post feedback on our opinions of the new look. It may well be that the majority preferred things as they were.

Love the choice
Love the choice, freshness and quality. I had 2 separate meals with missing ingredients last week which does spoil things a bit. I would have provided that information on the website but it is always too late and the response is not always that helpful or useful.
Their food is excellent
Their food is excellent; the recipes are varied and very healthy. We have been having their meals for a while now and have only very occasionally been disappointed.
The cost is at the higher end with portions costing about £9.00 but happy to give them 5 stars
Quality That Shows in Every Meal
We’ve been receiving Mindful Chef deliveries almost every week for the past 6–7 years, and we genuinely love the service. The deliveries are incredibly reliable, the ingredients are always fresh and last several days, and the quality of the meat and fish is consistently excellent, noticeably better than what we were buying elsewhere.
The recipes have encouraged me to push my food boundaries and try things I wouldn’t normally choose, which has been a brilliant way to keep cooking exciting. I also really appreciate not having to worry about doing a full supermarket shop every week. Mindful Chef has become such a seamless part of our routine, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Been using for several years
Been using for several years, mainly due to switching to more nutritional meals and clear instructions how to prepare and cook. Great choices and always delivered in good condition
Over a year of delicious healthy meals
We’ve been having Mindful Chef meal boxes for over a year. The menus are always varied, instructions easy to follow, the vegetables are seasonal, the boxes are packed with a limited amount of plastics and all ingredients are very fresh. Meal boxes from other companies we’ve had come with lots of packaging and everything ends up tasting very similar.
After a year I’m still not bored even though I’m vegetarian.
The cost does seem high but I now only go to the supermarket every couple of weeks (with a family of 5 adults!). There are always left overs. So overall I’m spending less.
The app is easy to use and simple to skip weeks, change delivery days or select meals.
In a year of boxes, we’ve had one issue where a packet had spilt, I received an immediate response to my email.
The only feedback I would give is the format of the recipes has recently changed and I found the old style easier to see where ingredients were needed.
The recipes are tasty and varied
The recipes are tasty and varied
The instructions quite clear and having everything to hand is so useful.
I have enjoyed cooking again and eating tasty meals.
The only comment I would make is that there are alot of Asian / curried flavours
I have always recommended due to decreasing portion sizes no longer a five
I have always recommended due to quality of ingredients, great recipes and choice. However the portion sizes have become considerably smaller in last few boxes.
Value for money for the ease, variety and healthiness
I've been ordering Mindful Chef for a number of years now, either for myself only or myself and my partner. I couldn't cook when I started, but could still manage to make the Mindful Chef recipes. My cooking skills have definitely improved now too. I love the variety of a Mindful Chef - I think rarely has the same recipe repeated. I often choose the vegan recipes, and they're also really varied and tasty. There's really useful nutritional information, which makes it easy for me to choose recipes to suit my heath goals. I make a meal and have it for dinner and lunch the next day, so it's made all my meals much fresher and healthier. For the variety of recipes and ingredients; the generous portion sizes; and the ease it allows you to eat fresh, home-cooked food; I think it's good value for money. The app is very easy to use to control your subscription (select recipes, skip weeks, pause the subscription for long periods).
Very satisfied
I have been using mindful chef meals for a few years now , great quality & variety. the only thing I would change would be the seed oils in alot of the ingredients, I swap them out where possible. I have contacted to ask if this could be considered for the future and I got a prompt reply that it would be added to future team meetings , so hopefully one day they will swap out these ingredients 🤞
Very satisfied otherwise.

Love the choice and how easy the meals are to prepare. Okay, so it’s a little on the expensive side but I have a lot less food waste so hopefully saving money in the long run!
