“Perfectly pleasant but not as good as expected. We had high expectations of Cook meals having read reviews and from word of mouth. Each meal was fine but in terms of quality and quantity it was lacking. The meals for one were of a size appropriate to a good sized starter but not a main course. The quality/taste was ok but not good enough to want to repeat.”
“repulsive company
as a former employee I hugely recommend avoiding these meals. they put no care or effort into the production of these meals. I have seen some very questionable hygiene practices and ingredients and despite being insanely overpriced they keep employees at trainees month after month to pay them less than min wage. this is the third time of posting this review as cook keep trying to get ot taken down (says all you need to know). bullying of staff is rife. toxic man hating female run environment where abuse and bullying is rife”

“DO NOT BUY ‘COOK FROZEN FOOD’.
It should stay forever frozen.
I have always seen these in their own separate fridges and thought, they must be really good. The packaging too I thought was very well done and enticing.
God, was I wrong.
The salmon and asparagus gratin was absolutely awful. The fish smelled and tasted off. My wife didn’t even bother eating anything else after one spoonful. The cottage pie, tasted like cardboard and bland as hell. Was even real beef?
I should have looked at all the reviews on here before buying any of the dishes.
I should have taken notice of the only people buying it were old people. I guess your taste buds disappear when you’re past 70.
Someone should close this company down because, the food is truly disappointing and horrendous.
Never again!”
“Such a shame, have bought their meals for years. Absolutely delicious , quality has dropped so much, can barely tell what you're eating ! Something has definitely changed, won't be buying anymore”
“I have just discovered these dishes that I conveniently purchase from my local Co-op. Each and every meal - from those cooked for four or the individual calorie controlled dishes for one are first class, tasty and made from fab ingredients. Much better than top High Street ready meal brands as portions are good and sauces are both delicious and plentiful. I’m hooked and the variety is amazing. I haven’t had one meal that hasn’t impressed me. Give them a try - they won’t disappoint. Bon appetite”
“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.”
“Unfortunately, this is not a good review! My wife and I had both selected your "Slow Cooked Rump Beef with Brandy. The only good words we have for this great sounding meal was it's title. In fact we both go as far as saying, we do not require a refund, just add it toward the cost of a good chef.
At this rate, it is a wonder you are still actually in business.”
“Dont normally go for frozen meals but thought I would give COOK a try...I am sorry I just don't get the hype...tried savoury and sweet dishes/meals....just not for me at all.....perhaps my expectations are just too high. At least I know now.....good luck to your brand...you obviously do have a 'following'....just not me.”
“Bought potato dauphines which consisted of 4 slices of potatoes a few breadcrumbs and some tasteless cheese. It was a side for 1 and filled about an 1/8th of the container it came in. Cost £1.50! TOTAL RIP OFF. And tasted of nothing! The cost of cooking it tolled up the price!”
“Bought a fish pie today which was very disappointing. Lots of potatoes, some large prawns which were quite chewy and very little fish. Not up to expectations and certainly not value for money”
