“Just tried to eat the salmon and asparagus gratin but it was so salty we couldn’t eat much of it. Fortunately we had steamed veg to accompany it which had no salt added. We have been regular customers of Cook for a few years but have noticed the meals getting over flavoured- too salty, too spicy, too herby. Sadly won’t be buying from Cook again.”

“Don't Buy anything Here! O stars as I had to put 1 to be able to write this review. I bought a Shepard's Pie today for me and my husband.. the large one that serves 2.. apparently! @£9.50 so you expect a decent size meal for that price! Absolute rip off.. you may as well say it was a potatoe pie, there wasn't much pototoe either! Barely any lamb or sauce or carrots.. a disgrace really. We were both still very hungry after and very disappointed and angry. Luckily I had a decent portion of veg on the side! Never again. You should be ashamed of yourself COOK'S!! No wonder your shops are always EMPTY!!!”

“On recommendation I ordered a Christmas meal for 2 DONT BOTHER - total rip off! This was the worst Christmas meal Ive ever ordered the meal for two Stuffed Turkey Breast for Two was nothing like the image the rolled turkey & stuffing was 80% stuffing & 20% meat which was tough – very overpowered by the stuffing mix The pigs in blankets were inedible - so salty & awful flavour Roast potatoes were mushy on the inside like they were bad potatoes when prepared Carrots with Orange & Thyme didn’t taste at all any different than usual carrots I was so excited to try the meal as it had come highly recommended by 3 different people – But never again, I wish I had just bought all my own ingredients & cooked from scratch Plus, wouldn’t have cost as much”

“I ordered some food With them, I had a voucher gift , when I passed the order I booked a slot everything went well, but they put me on subscription and I never received any email about that, they took another payment, did a delivery without organizing any date, a throw the parcel over the fence during the holidays , when I came back I had to put everything in the bin, I would not recommend this website”

“We used to order from cook years ago and it was fabulous, not so this Christmas. The dauphinois potatoes just turned to mush , the carrots, no matter how long you cooked them for were hard and tasteless and the beef bourguignon needed cooking far longer than the instructions and was ok but just not enough meat. We will not be buying from them anymore.”

“Bought the Fish Pie for 8 for Christmas Eve. Cooked exactly as per instructions. It was awful. Mash topping was like a solid slab of something that bore little resemblance to the "buttery mash" described on the website. We also had the Salmon En Croute with Beetroot which was bland, dry and tasteless. We all had indigestion overnight. We have bought from Cook regularly over the years and were early supporters but after a number of appalling experiences in the past year we will not be buying again and would not recommend. Even the tried and tested Dauphinoise is a poor relation of what was originally produced by Cook. Quality and quantity has gone down hill.”

“We purchased the Christmas dinner for two. So disappointed. The turkey was acceptable. The carrots and parsnips were rock hard even after extra cooking. The sprouts and leeks were a total mush. The pigs in blankets just fell apart (the bacon used was so fatty). Unfortunately we chose the spinach and horseradish stack as a starter. Just full of stringy spinach. We will not be shopping there again.”

“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”
