Gousto

4.4

Gousto gives you a weekly menu with 175+ recipes and a clear way to filter by time, cuisine, and dietary needs. You pick 2–5 recipes for 1–5 people, then get pre-measured ingredients and recipe cards that make cooking feel simple and organised. Many meals take as little as 10 minutes, which helps on busy weeknights. You choose your delivery day, and you can skip weeks or cancel whenever you like. Gousto is proud of its ingredient standards, including 100% British meat and no added preservatives. If you like cooking but want less planning, Gousto fits well. You still cook the meals yourself, but the box removes the shopping list and guesswork. It also suits households with different tastes because the menu is large and changes weekly, so you can mix quick meals with more involved recipes. If you want variety, predictable portions, and a flexible subscription, Gousto is a strong option. Prices start from £2.99 per serving, delivery costs £3.99, and the minimum order is two people with two recipes. Dietary filters include vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, high-protein, and low-calorie, so you can steer the menu without losing choice. If value matters, the large menu and lower starting price make it easy to plan a week of meals that stay within budget.

• 175+ recipes available each week
• Choose 2-5 recipes for 1-5 people

HelloFresh

4.2

HelloFresh gives you weekly recipe boxes with pre-measured ingredients and clear recipe cards. You pick meals from the weekly menu, choose portions for your household, and the box turns up ready to cook. The service keeps things simple and reliable: plenty of choice each week, step-by-step instructions, and add-on Extras if you want sides or desserts without another shop. Many recipes take around 20 minutes, so you can get tea on the table without a fuss. You manage everything in the HelloFresh app. That makes it easy to swap meals, change delivery day, or pause when life gets busy. The main draw is convenience without losing the joy of cooking. You still chop, stir, and plate up, but you skip the planning and the weekly shop. If you want a steady routine, consistent portions, and a menu that changes often enough to keep things interesting, HelloFresh does the job well and feels easy to stick with week after week. Pricing starts from £3.40 per serving, delivery is free, and the minimum order is two people with two meals. You can filter for options like vegetarian, low-calorie, and family-friendly, which helps when you cook for different tastes. If you want to keep costs predictable, the per-serving range gives you a clear idea of what each box will cost before you confirm your menu.
