How it works: Sign up to a weekly subscription, choose a box of 6, 8, 10 or more meals from our rotating menu, and receive them frozen at your door via DPD. Meals are ready in 3 to 8 minutes in the microwave or oven. You can skip weeks, pause, or cancel any time through your account. Our meals are: - Cooked by independent chefs in registered UK kitchens - Frozen for freshness, no artificial preservatives added by us - Portioned as single servings, ideal for busy people, families, and anyone looking to eat well without cooking - Priced from £7.60 per meal, with free shipping on your first order We started as a London Facebook group connecting chefs with food lovers, grew to 30,000 members in months, and today deliver nationwide.

Tasty, healthy food
I have tried a few meal home delivery companies with varying results. I have been pleasantly surprised by HomeCooks as not only do I have enough choice of food but I am really enjoying the food, its flavoursome and healthy. Love it 😀

Tasty and healthy food
Tasty and healthy food. Homecooked ready meals, great if you don't have time or energy but still want to eat well. During the heatwaves, they can start to defrost and leak by time of arrival, but otherwise great.

Hi,
Thank you for the honest review, really glad the food and convenience are landing well.
On the heatwave defrost issue: fair point, it's been a genuine challenge this summer with the higher temperatures pushing through our insulation. We're actively looking at packaging improvements to handle it better.

Great Variety, Great Food and So Convenient
I have been very impressed with HomeCooks, particularly the excellent variety of dishes available from different parts of the world. It gives me the opportunity to enjoy different cuisines and flavours that I would not normally have at home.
As I don't tend to eat out at restaurants, ordering from HomeCooks gives me an enjoyable change of diet at the weekend and something different to look forward to.
I also spend a lot of my time doing physically demanding work, so the last thing I want at the end of a busy day is to prepare lots of ingredients and spend time cooking. Being able to simply heat a well-prepared meal in the microwave makes life considerably easier, while still allowing me to enjoy something tasty and different.
For me, HomeCooks offers a great combination of variety, convenience and enjoyable food, and it has become a very useful alternative to cooking everything from scratch.

Hi Annette,

On the menu rotation: fair feedback, we add 1 to 2 new dishes each week and rotate the menu, but I'll pass on the note about wanting more frequent changes to the team.

Tasty meals
I'm really liking home-cooks. Probably the best on the market despite the somewhat higher calorie dishes. There is a lot of choice but I do hope they start adding more options because my meals are same every week. Mainly satay chicken, chicken schnitzel and stuffed meatloaf. I tried others but not as tasty and so far haven't got sick of these ones yet. More eastern european dishes would be great too!

Hi,
Thank you so much for the review, really glad the Satay Chicken, Schnitzel, and Meatloaf are hitting the spot week after week.
On the menu variety: we're actively adding new dishes to the rotation each week, and I'll pass your feedback on more Eastern European options directly to the team, that's a genuinely useful steer.

My first box.
My first box arrived with the contents almost spilling out as the box had got wet.
Loved the pork and fennel.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for the review, and I'm sorry to hear the box arrived in that state, definitely not the first impression we'd want. If you drop us a message at support@homecooks.app, I'll happily look into a refund for the affected meals.
On the positive side, really glad the Pork and Fennel landed well, it's a great dish.

I like the fact that there are so many dishes to choose from and they are quite tasty. Also for me it's the personal touch that I receive from Octavian whenever I have an issue with my order. It is nice to know that he is always willing to resolve any problems I have, especially as all this is new to me that is ordering online, etc.
Overall I would highly recommend HomeCooks.
