“As a new mum I finally tried a range of dishes when I didn’t have any time to cook and thought this would be my absolute saviour over the next few months. After being disappointed with the first few I gave it another go and bought a selection of different meals to try - I have to say I can’t believe how bad I found it. It’s incredibly pricey and most of my dishes were half empty and filled…supposed to serve two and we both were left hungry and having to cook a meal after quite a few of them! On top of that as a bit of a foodie I’d describe most of the dishes as terrible flavour wise and full of fat and salt to get that cheat hit of ‘yummy’ without any actual skill or flavour having to be involved. Can’t understand what the hype is about…I’ll save by money for most supermarket oven meals…I honestly think they are better valid, flavour and healthier!”

“£25 for monkfish wrapped in pancetta. I have bought many dishes from Cook - all of which have been 'cook from frozen' or 'microwave and so invited friends round for dinner, thinking the meal would be cooked from frozen only to find that the fish had to be defrosted for 36 hrs. Yes, maybe I should have read the instructions but as their slogan is 'cook from frozen' I assumed this would have also refered to the fish!!! Anyhow, cooked the meal the following evening - fish was tasteless!!! Pancetta was tasteless!!! If it wasn't for the sauce which my son had made, I would have thrown the fish into the bin - how sad as I have enjoyed do many other meals from cook!”

“I bought Cook believing they didn't use additives. Mac cheese ham and cauliflower has dextrose, diphosphate,sodium ascorbate, sodium nitrite, and stabiliser (xantham gum). Disgusted that they claim not to be ultra processed.”

“No cash ? ! ! Dovehouse Parade has i would estimate a row of 30 retail outlets selling designer clothes to artisan bakery's . All accept cash ! I went in last week to buy a Cake for a bday ,i tried online to click and collect but the only slot was the next day ? Why its never busy , i decided to drive and pick it up but when i came to pay the lady said no Cash ? And the card i tried to buy online withs Pin i had forgotten . Ridiculous ,i had to go back home and my wife went to pay on her card. Gets even odder , she literally went up 10 minutes after i was there and the lady was rude and denied i had been in the shop ? Cake was ok, i won't use cook again purely on principal of no Cash . Bad business guys .”

“My partner got me the chocolate brownie cheesecake for my birthday. It was very disappointing that it all crumbled when we cut it up. The base was an inch thick. We felt like eating a giant cookie instead of cheesecake.”

“Full of preservatives, looked at the back of the kids spaghetti and it’s full of emulsifiers, preservatives, acids and rapeseed oil etc, none of which I would put into the food I cook at home - so I feel it’s very misleading to say it’s home cooked food. If I wanted food with lots of preservatives, I can get it from the supermarket where it’s the same list of ingredients under processed food. Very disappointing”

“Have had the Chicken Dijon and Chicken Alexander recently. Awful!. Tasteless and very tough and inedible chicken. Utterly disgusting for the price and would never buy again or recommend to anyone”

“So we spent £150 on meals as we are trying to be healthy. But each meal is tiny…. The packaging is misleading as they're the same size as anywhere else but once the food is cooked, whats left is tiny. My mrs is 5 foot four and weighs 50kg. She would need a 2 person meal and a side to be full. I thought a £4 rice would give enough rice for a side, unfortunately not. You are guaranteed to need to spend £8 on rice to get a portion. What an absolute rip off. If you’re a 70+ year old their portion sizes might be sufficient but for anyone else I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for food…”

“Absolutely foul. Nothing tastes like it should. Way too many vegetables in everything. Overpriced and literally has no flavour whatsoever. I wouldn't even pay a quid for these. If you haven't already, don't bother. No where near worth the money. Bought for convenience, wish I'd never wasted my money.”

“Tried Cook nut roast, mouth burning, sweating, can’t taste anything but chilli. I do have an allergy, so should have checked I accept that, but as I am vegetarian and cooked thousands of nut roasts I have never felt the need to wreck it with chilli it didn’t occur to me it would have chilli in it. Why? Ruined a good nut roast”

“Bought the steak and ale pie which after two mouthfuls I descarded. The pastry was like thick cardboard, and the 4 pieces of meat was tough and the so called gravy was gluppy thick and had an odd taste. Complete waste of £5.00. I have bought other meals from Cook and found them to be of a good quality so don’t know what went wrong with this pie. Would I buy again, definitely no”

“Looks like muck, my dog rejected the food after myself, Mrs and both kids did. Soo bad we threw the remaining meals away be ause we didn't want anyone else to have to endure tasting them. The absolute worst food we have ever purchased. Do not waste your money on this companies meals.”

“This was the first time I bought Cook products, very disappointed with the Sweet Potato Katsu Curry. No taste or flavour at all, I didn't expect it to be "hot and spicy" but all my family agreed it didn't taste of anything - at £8.50 I won't be using Cook again.”

“The Cottage Pie is far too salty! Spoilt it for me as the flavour was okay, then got the salt hit! Yuck!”

“Very salty. Mixed herbs in three different meals overwhelmed the taste. Meat chewy no flavour my dog food looks more appetising. Veg like leaks make flavoured sauce go runny. Beef burgeon tastes very odd leaves a metallic taste. I got because I had seriously I’ll and needed easy meals to help recovery. I ended up throwing them away after a couple of mouthfuls.”

“Have ordered 5 different meals , last night had the chicken and mushroom lasagna (for 2) It was dreadful, we had 5 pieces of rather tough chicken between us and not a mushroom in sight! It was awful, not to have a mushroom in a chicken and mushroom lasagna is unacceptable, not even evidence of mashed up one. Going to try the fish pie tonight I hope that’s good I really want it to be as it’s convenient as I live walking distance from the cook in the Cheltenham, just hoping this was a one off bad experience we’ll see.”
