Great recipes

Great recipes, good delivery - recipe videos would help, but instructions are quick easy and straightforward

Great meal delivery service

Great meal delivery service. Recipes are easy enough and the meals are unique and inventive. Best part is the packaging which is plastic-free for the most part. I have used them 3 times now and will continue to do so.

Eco friendly, sustainable, and great food!

In terms of eco impact and sustainability, this box is the best in the business. Ethically sourced protein, seasonal produce, and a focus on cutting down single-use plastics. That is all without mentioning the incredible tasting meals, if you have a single sustainable or environmental bone in your body, this is the box to buy!

Wow!

Wow, where do I start ! From the eco friendly packaging and sweet little extras in each box to the absolutely delicious meals I cannot recommend it enough! The Szechuan pork noodles will be a recipe I pull out for my grandkids one day they were so tasty! I will definitely be treating myself to more Zested boxes going forward :)

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for the review! We actually used to do a bit of video content on this in the past and it is part of a longer-term plan of ours. Unfortunately at this stage, we are a super small team of only 2 and we don't have the resource for this yet! Hope you give us another crack!

Best,

Thanks for your review Jo! We’re glad you enjoyed the recipes! Price-wise, we know that in comparison to some delivery boxes we are at the higher end of the scale but there’s good reason for that. When it comes to the produce in our boxes, we only work with suppliers who are making a conscious effort to reduce their impact on the planet. This includes seasonal veggies, free-range and ethically reared meat, and sustainability caught fish. As you can imagine, these come at a higher price to us but a much lower price for our planet. Our packaging follows a similar story: we’ve ditched most of our single-use plastic for reusable and recyclable alternatives meaning the raw cost is higher and it's a bit more time time consuming to pack! We hope this helps in understanding we're not just in it to make huge profit margins — we're actually operating at a loss right now as we get up and running — and our higher price point is a reflection of our planet-first approach. Hope you'll give us another go soon!

Best,

Zested Team

Better than the others!

I’ve tried Hello Fresh and Gousto and can easily say these meals are even better! Really delicious, great quality meat and veg, sustainably packaged and just really great food!

Quite simple meals

Quite simple meals, but reasonably tasty. unfortunately some green vegetables/herbs gone off by day 4. Packaging is minimal and recyclable.

Many thanks,

Unique and delicious

Interesting recipes and much better on the packaging than many of the others. One set of bunches of greens was a bit yellowed, but still tasted fine in the recipe. Nice customer service.

Good quality ingredients for the most part. Meals are nutritional and I feel good about the sourcing credentials. I would like to see more variety of meals - I don’t eat red meat or chicken so my choices are limited to how often the menu is changed.

Hi David,

Thanks so much for your message! We are gradually ramping up our recipes as we grow. Right now we only have a full time team of 2 believe it or not! We are looking to increase our new recipes to 15 per month soon and with that there will be more variety. We'd love to hear more about your experience if you'd be keen to share it, simply email hello@zested.com.

Many thanks!

Delicious but little

The Food is delicious and smartly packed. However the price is quite spicy for the portion size. It’s a one-person meal, for 12-14£ in the vegetarian range... that’s the price of a very good restaurant... if the portions were bigger, I’d certainly order again

In terms of portion size, this is something we have been working on as some feedback has been it's too large and some too small. We've put more time into getting this right recently and would love to hear your feedback on this if you are willing to give us another go. We'd like to offer you 50% off your next box if you are interested and it would be great to hear your feedback. Just email us at hello@zested.com and we can help with this!

Best,
