Mindful chef is fantastic

Mindful chef is fantastic. We have used MC since the pandemic in 2020. We order MC most weeks as they offer interesting, flavoursome & healthy meals. There are always a mixture of fish, poultry, red meat or vegan dishes & we would definitely recommend Mindfil chef to friends & family, Jenny P.

Fantastic customer service

Fantastic customer service. They understand that people have busy lives and fixed a mistake I made in my order. I love that they donate any accidental orders to charity. The food is also the best I've ever had from a recipe box, genuinely tasty and not overly rich, complicated, or calorific like the other food boxes I've tried. The focus on whole foods and gut health is really noticable.

Superb all round service

Superb choice of recipes, excellent quality of produce and saves so much time and hassle when wanting to eat healthily. On the very rare occasion there has been an issue, customer service have dealt with it quickly and efficiently.

Absolutely fantastic

The choice of recipes is great. Everything is really well prepared and every week you get a new recipe book, so you have the instructions to cook other meals if you wish. The instructions are so easy and its giving me confidence to cook like I never have before! The meals are so tasty, healthy and well-balanced. Delivery has been fantastic. Nothing to complain about. Its made mealtimes much more exciting !

The introductory offer grabbed my attention. I was surprisingly shocked at the quality and taste. I would say it’s restaurant quality. There is a good selection for vegetarians every week. The meals are from bag to plate in as little as 20 minutes. No mess, no waste. No more beans on toast for me after a busy day 😂

Wonderful meals, friendly company

The food is delicious, the customer service is excellent and the deliveries are always on time. I'm so impressed with Mindful Chef. I've tried many of the "food delivery boxes" on the market. Mindful Chef are a cut above in terms of the produce and recipes and they also offer a service for a single person. I recently contacted the customer service team about a query and they dealt with my message in a timely and friendly manner. All round - I'm a very happy customer.

As a busy family with a love for great food, but no real love for cooking, we are finally eating wonderful food with very little culinary skill! In fact, I actually am growing to enjoy cooking because the meals are great fun to cook! I never thought I would say that, so thank you Mindful Chef! Highly recommended.
