I received my first box at 50% off
I received my first box at 50% off, the value was obviously good at this price. I regularly order Gousto and Hello Fresh boxes and I wanted to try this to see how it compared. Yes Chef is like Hello Fresh's infant brother, with Gousto being the best of the three. I didn't like how some items were packaged and that nothing had expiry dates on. Portion sizes were reasonably sized and the chicken breasts were larger than what you'd receive with G or HF boxes, which was a positive. The quality of the meat was good, however the diced chicken thigh had lots of fat, which I chopped off and in the process found 3 bone fragments. I can appreciate this can happen but luckily I found them prior to cooking. I'd give Yes Chef 5/10, I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend them, but I wouldn't dismiss them either.

Hi Jade,
Thank-you so much for taking the time to post your review for us, it really helps us to develop and improve our fledgling company. We are privileged to be compared with our big brother companies. We are currently working with bio-degradable packaging suppliers to improve our packaging solutions taking into account product integrity as well as our responsibility to the environment. Our Lazy Day range is now all in fully bio-degradable packaging, which is a great milestone for us.
Our MD is a butcher by trade and so is very focused on sourcing the best reared, local livestock, I will pass on your feedback to the chef regarding the chicken thighs, thank-you.
We have launched 2 new dishes this week a Lamb and Apricot Tagine and a Kale, Hazelnut and Pesto Pasta, we would also like to offer you a 30% discount for the rest of the month if you order again from us please use code SPRING30.
Kind Regards

Hi Louise ,
Our Customer Service Team contacted you on Saturday, we did send out your box to our courier DPD but unfortunately we have no control on what happens from there in distribution centres, I can confirm we have fully refunded your box and contacted DPD to inform them that they have lost us a valued customer.
We very rarely have problems with DPD which is why we use them, its just unfortunate that you were effected, we can only apologise.
Kind Regards

Hi Jo,
Hi Jo,
Hope you doing good on this busy times.
I had a bad experience on my first order one of wine bag burst in the box when It was opened everything was soaking and all the spices was wet. And yes I did realise the mistakes from your side with the mince beef send wrong.
Thank you for the info above
Best Regards

A one time box as a gift to break boredom of lockdown
Delivery was so well organized with regular updates and a specific time. It was well packaged. The recipes made big portions, and were simple to follow, allowing the correct prep and cooking time. I ordered a one time box to break the boredom of lockdown for my parents. It was very reasonable and by all counts delicious.

Hi Abi,
All high risk items for the fridge are kept in the silver freezer bags with the ice packs, the store cupboard ingredients and veg are in the brown bags.
I hope this clarifies the situation for you?

Amazing!
Had our third box this week and have now subscribed to weekly boxes. Recipe cards easy to follow, more exciting recipes than Hello Fresh. Really fresh ingredients, always packaged really well. Can't rate them highly enough!

Nice recipes and good ingredients
Nice recipes and good ingredients. I can see that they're really trying. My constructive criticisms would be that some recipe steps and photos are missing, there was a lot of food left over and so a family deal for two adults and two children would be beneficial, it would be good to have how many of your 5 a day are included in a recipe, it would be good to have more of your 5 a day in each recipe, it would be better to do as HelloFresh and Gousto do and have smaller paper bags that will easily fit into the cupboard, and separate the ingredients in the boxes so that all the fresh goods can easily be put in the fridge and the other bits and bobs go straight into the cupboard

Good Afternoon Karen,
We really appreciate your constructive feedback, it really helps us to continually improve so thank-you! We like the 5 a day idea, it is certainly something we will look into, as for packaging solutions we are currently reviewing our whole range, we have recently up graded our Lazy Day range to fully bio-degradable packaging.
We hope you keep enjoying our boxes,

What a disappointment
What a disappointment.
Ordered 4 meals for 4 people, plenty of food received, but....
Ingredients missing, ingredients starting to go off (and furry). Box delivered wrong way up so bell peppers were split thanks to heavy cans sat on top of them. Recipe cards in my opinion are incomplete.
Customer service OK, gave me a partial refund. So glad I hadn't paid full price for this box, will NOT be ordering again, not worth the money.
Shame :-(
