“As some others here have said, the short 'eat by' dates make these 'weekly' boxes useless. 75% of the contents of my boxes had eat by dates within 2 days of arrival! Customer services give a generic canned "we value feedback" type bs response and do nothing. Despite the spin about being fresh, this is really about Gousto getting meat closer to the expiry date cheaper from suppliers and pushing it out in these boxes. Bit of a con to be honest.”

“No delivery yesterday and it says delivered on my app, was hoping it would be delivered today but it hasn't. No way to contact them either as phone lines are saying no body is available, not happy”

“No New Year’s Eve delivery, even though showing as dispatched. Very poor customer service. Thanks Gousto for no food on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.”

“I had a message saying it was delivered...but it hasn’t been. So no meals from Gousto over new year....brilliant! I also always seem to get a late delivery slot, between 5pm-7pm and it’s always delivered after 7pm which is really annoying!! Really fed up now and will probably cancel and try hello fresh instead.”

“Some of meat pretty poor quality. Too much use of chicken thighs. A lot of recipes very similar with small portions that are padded out with rice etc”

“New Year nightmare! Gusto systems problems have left our family without New Year food! Beware if you changes your delivery address. I wont be ordering any more as a 4 to 5 day refund and no offer of a delivery tomorrow is just not good enough after we had our holiday vacation cancelled!”

“I was recommended this company by a friend who sang its praises. The first delivery was ok but noticed that the dates on the meat delivered were very short. Cooked most of it and the meals were fine. However, subsequent orders had missing ingredients and the dates were aligned in a way that I would have had to have multiple meals in a day. Spoke to customer service who didn't care at all. They simply said 'Sorry for the inconvenience.' When I explained that this was not a suitable response, they simply stopped communicating. After speaking to my friend, she stated that she had also had the same problem with dates. This company bases its philosophy on providing convenience for its customers, however, this convenience is clearly on their terms. Avoid and go to an alternative provider of food delivery.”

“Tried the plant based meals for 3 weeks. Not very consistent. Missing ingredients and recipe cards. Their reimbursement for missing ingredients is poor -offering a small amount of money on your next order. Will not use again”

“We've recently moved over to gousto from hello fresh as we fancied a change. I'm very disappointed. I was pretty I'll last week. Had the doctors say its possible food poisoning. No idea where from or why but after tonight maybe a good idea. Tonight as I began to prepare a meal opened up the chicken to prep and was met by an awful stench which then made me and my wife wrench it was so bad (chicken still in date) . Our boxes have been un organised and what looks like to be is thrown together. Our previous boxes from the hello fresh was well organised and each meal with all ingredients in one bag and produced fresh. Unlike guosto with produce been in poor condition. We have only tried this for a few weeks thought this may improve but after reading reviews and tonight we will be moving back. People don't waste your money on this disappointing company there are better competitors out there doing a better job.”

“I like the recipes but there is a pattern of missing or incorrect ingredients on a weekly basis now. Their minuscule offering of credit is woeful and getting through to their customer service appears to have been offshored to contractors without any real power to offer a satisfactory conclusion. I used to use Gousto years ago where missing ingredients was still an issue but at least they provided a decent discount on next box and a promise of careful inspection before it was sent out. Give them a try but be prepared to walk if they don’t up their game.”

“No delivery so no dinner for the evening. Although they have given a refund which is appreciated, they have and will not not be delivering the ordered meal. It was the food I wanted, not the refund. If I had not raised the issue, the company wouldn’t have even realised my meal wasn’t delivered. Reading the comments here I can see this is something that other customers have also experienced. I won’t be ordering from Gousto again.”

“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”
