“Regularly had missing ingredients which ruined an entire recipe. A small credit applied for the cost of the ingredient, very poor response from customer care. Should be renamed as customer no care”

“Some of the ingredients weren't included in the delivery as I was expected to have them in already. I also did't have the correct cooking utensils as I had no idea what I needed until I was starting to cook! Might work for some but its not for me”

“I order 4 days meals for my family, I didn’t do any food shopping as I knew we would have 4 days of teas and on a tight budget at the moment, Iv waited all day and it’s not arrived. Iv phoned up to be told there sorry they didn’t put an order together for me but can credit my Account. I explained we have no food as we was waiting for the box only to be told there’s nothing they can do, I asked if it could come tomorrow and they said no we don’t have the facility to do that. I explained that me and my children have no food and no money as we used the last bit of money to buy the 4 meals at an offer of 50% off which was a great help at this difficult time yet it’s not come, she said she will refund my account it will take 5 working day, I explained we have no food snd no money so need it sooner and was told there is nothing they could do, there was no manager to speak to and no further help for me. Absolutely disgusting I hope no other family have to go through what we are going through”

“They changed my delivery day 3 days before due to arrive and this was very inconvenient saying they have too many boxes to deliver that day and totally unable to change even to the day after - I've cancelled my subscription”

“Fresh product often quite poor in quality, with dead herb leaves and dehydrated limes etc. The meals generally have great flavour but the biggest downfall is the amount of plastic! Each individual portion comes in its own plastic wrap to which I agonise over every time I drop it in the bin. They could offer a reduced price box for those willing to eqip themselves with the typical ingredients, such as soy sauce, garlic and onions etc. This would greatly reduce the amount of waste. Alternatively they could seriously look in to bio degradable packaging to win over the eco conscious customers that they are otherwise missing out on.”

“I'm a loyal costumer and love the variety and taste of the recipes. Points for improvement (please consider): *Give us the option to swap refined carbs for wholemeal (e.g. swap white rice for brown); *Improve the freshness of ingredients. Eg. you often send me rock-hard avocados/lemons and wilted leaves/spring onions. Thanks Gousto!”

Hi Hydra! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback to us! I can confirm that customisation is a big thing for us and this is being worked on to allow customers such as yourself to change out various ingredients to suit your preferences. Hopefully, we will have this available soon so please do keep a lookout. I have also passed the feedback onto the relevant team about the freshness of the ingredients and hopefully, we can rectify this as soon as possible as it is not the standard of service that we aim to provide! Once again, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback as this helps us improve our service! Best wishes - The Gousto Team - Kai

“Missing ingredients and/or recipe cards every week. Deliveries turn up late in to the evening (so you won't have any food for that day's dinner). Ingredients often going off far too quickly.”

“Been with Gusto for a long time now and have had several issues along the way, usually these get sorted by a small refund but this doesn’t change the fact you still have to go to the shop to buy the missing ingredient or don’t bother with it at all rendering the recipe useless. Last week we received no box at all with no explanation and despite 2 emails to customer services we have had no reply although we did receive a refund of the box, this doesn’t change the fact you then have to make alternative arrangements for the whole week. As a company if you can’t cope with the customer base you already have you should not consider taking on new clients as you will start to lose once loyal clients through extremely poor service. We are now registered with another provider.”

“Love the ease of Gousto. Easy to follow recipes and so tasty. Couldn't be without this food.”

“I’m loving the addition of more vegan recipe selections and your collaborations with faux meat food producers. Please place fresh herbs on the top of the box contents as they are all too often found crushed in amongst or beneath the heavier recipe items. Overall, Gousto is my go to for a recipe box option in a market place that continues to grow.”

“The only improvement is that I really want to have the option to change meat in the recipes for a meat free version. There is more meat free versions lately which is great, but I would love to be able to still get the shepherds pie/lasagne/roast chicken etc with the choice to change to meat substitute. Vegetarians don’t always want total substitutes, we really want the meat substitutes too so that we can still get the sausage and mash and other favourites!”

“Lots of options each week. Very easy to use app. I can get a gluten free box sent to my elderly mum too. All recipes I've tried have been delicious without fail. In about 10 deliveries I've just had half the peas missing once which gousto compensated me for easily on their app. So much inspiration to cook for fussy teenagers too. 5 stars no question.”

“I have tried to contact a manager re a serious complaint and general lack of service to no avail . The service we have received was 1st class up to 8 weeks ago since then missing items ,wrong meals have been the order of the day nearly every week ,however yesterday topped it all when our 4 meals turned up with no ice what so ever had to throw whole box away customer care no use what so ever I wanted to speak to a manager and was promised. One would ring in 24hrs rang again today to be told it could be 24 -48 hrs but to be on the safe side Gousto would ad another 24hrs What is going on this is ridiculous”
