Great for a cut when you need to watch your calorie intake and track your macros closely. I do think there’s room for improvement when it comes to taste - it’s okay, but nothing special. The chick... See more

Tasty, fresh meals; hassle-free service; packaging recycles

Tasty, fresh, delivered on time. No hassle, no waste. Packaging is fully recyclable. Chill compartment in the box keeps the food fresh.

When I missed the weekly deadline to order, Simmer did a great job choosing meals for me based on what I'd ordered previously.

This would be a five star review if Simmer collected last week's packaging for recycling when they drop off this week's meals, although that might put prices up.

Full disclosure: I'm a genuine customer. Maria from Simmer Customer Services emailed me asking me to log a five star review.

SIMMER OUTING

Prompt delivery Sunday am. with Monday as an option if required suits us.
Time + labour saving of heat and eat is very helpful at this time.
Great tasting and healthy food from a varied menu...we have enjoyed every meal so far!
The colour theme on the app hurts my eyes but apart from that we are happy.

Impossible to cancel online - quick response to this review though

[Update: Within minutes of posting this review/emailing them again about cancellation, I was contacted by phone by Charlie (their Customer Service Lead) who was very nice, agreed their web site was terrible and needed improvement, listened to my issues and agreed to send me confirmation of my cancellation by WhatsApp - which she did. I also got an email response confirming the cancellation. It may be that they're just learning how to handle customers, without heavy handed techniques to keep them, as Charlie suggested, so I'll see if anyone else has similar issues going forward. The food, I have to say, is very nice (if expensive).]

'Seem' like nice guys and the foods nice, but their strategy for keeping you as a customer is awful and made me feel I was being conned (think car salesman). This was amplified when I went to cancel my subscription and found it's well nigh impossible. If you want to cancel you have to email them and the email has a link to their website which then takes you to series of pages (NONE of which ultimately let's you say you want to cancel). I've emailed again to say they need to accept that as cancellation but I'm not convinced they'll stop sending meals so I've also asked my bank not to pay them if they do. That might get their attention.

Hi Doreen,
Thank you for the update and for taking the time to share how this played out. We're really glad Charlie was able to get this sorted for you and confirm the cancellation, and we appreciate the honest feedback on the website and cancellation process - it's clear this needs improving and we're taking that on board.

Glad you enjoyed the food, and thank you for giving us the chance to put things right.

Do not trust this company

Do not trust this company! The first week of deliveries, several of the meals were damaged and open on delivery so inedible, I contacted them and they said they would just add a couple of extra meals on my next delivery!!! Two things wrong with that, first thing is Im now down several meals for the week, and secondly what if I decide I dont want to use them again ive basically lost 20 odd pound.

Anyway. I did decide to use them again, and the second weeks deliveries were fine with no issues, however the third week box came and again meals were damaged and open so again inedible!

This time I had a enough so requested to have my subscription cancelled which was acknowledged by them.

However, three weeks later I randomly had £75 pound taken from my account by them! I immediately got in touch as obviously furious, and they said there's nothing they can do as they've already ordered the food!! Well, I didnt order the bloody food did I, so it seems that they can just decide to steal money after you have cancelled a service, send you random food you didnt want and claim theres nothing they can do.

Absolute fraudsters do not trust or use this service as they are thieves and con artists

Hi Andy,
Thank you for sharing this and we're very sorry to hear about the damaged meals and, in particular, the charge taken after your subscription was cancelled, that's not acceptable and we want to get to the bottom of it.

We've been unable to locate an account matching this review on our side, so we've asked for your account email via Trustpilot to look into this properly and put things right as quickly as possible.

Thanks for your patience while we investigate.

Love food but hate cooking

As someone who hates cooking but loves good food, this is the perfect recipe for a tasty match. I've enjoyed all of the healthy portioned meals and the convenience of wholesome fresh food in 3 mins. I can't afford to do it constantly, but will definitely dip in and out especially when I have a busy week and no time to shop or cook. Great quality and doesn't take up loads if space in the fridge. Great they can also go in the freezer 👍🏼

Missed the cut-off to pause/cancel my order for the week…

Sent an email to the support team & Alex C got back to me confirming they would be able to pause my order as a one-off on this occasion, and also mentioned as the ingredients were already ordered, they would be going to a local charity so nothing was wasted!

Unreal customer service & a nice touch from the company!

Do not use

There is basically no complaints of customer service. I had paused my subscription and was charged. They said I could change my address to reply to email but they bounced my reply. No further replies. Bascially you are trapped and unable to cancel.

Hi Helen,
Thank you for flagging this and we're sorry for the frustration, being charged after pausing, and then having your replies bounce with no further contact, isn't the experience we want anyone to have.

We're actively looking into this for you now and want to get it resolved properly. We'll be in touch as soon as we have an update.

Thanks for your patience while we sort this out.

Helpful service

Helpful, fast service. Nice and easy to select meals each week and takes a lot of effort out of having to decide what to eat and cook

Excellent food !

Placed my order with no issues, they arrived very well packaged and chilled perfectly on time and on the delivery date. I ordered the meals with the highest protein as im a Tennis Athlete that needs to keep up my protein and veggies while on the go. The Spanish chicken Bravas with 47.7 g of protein was excellent! Cooked in 3 mins from chilled , jyst pick out what you want from the freezer, stick it in the fridge, and it doesn't matter if you're tired when you get back from training there's a healthy tasty meal ready to go, i would highly recommend this company for sure 👍🏼 Noah
