Another product that doesn’t embrace single people

No recipes cards for one person and sometimes the ingredients come in packages that need splitting for one person. Yes, it says use the App for one person, but that doesn’t offer the same accessibility as it does for couples/families.
Not impressed with fresh ingredients like salad leaves that have arrived twice as already slimy on arrival.
Still within the delivery window, but DPD always came early in the day, Evri scraped in at the end of the day.
Not sure I like any of their Summer options which aren’t filling. May just stick with Winter options or may not continue.

Gousto meals

Chicken breast portions are very small. Some recipes say put the oven on for one item eg salmon fillets, it’s a waste of power. Please provide air fryer alternatives to conserve energy.

Outstanding customer service from Guosto online chat. It has been some years since I have experienced this level of service. Promptly resolved my issue that was totally my own fault. Can't thank them enough. Great product and great service.

They take your money even after you’ve cancelled your subscription. I had cancelled 2 weeks prior to this order . They refused to cancel it because they said the order was created before the cancellation? The week before went through the cancellation though. Doesn’t makes sense. Do not set up a subscription with them or they’ll take your money even if you cancel in plenty of time .

Missing ingredients

After having a couple of minor previous issues ie missing recipe cards and late deliveries. The latest box arrived with missing ingredients and no information or alternative, only when I went through the app to log an issue was I offered £9 discount off my next box. I will probably not order another so a refund would be better.

We gave it a go for a trial period

We gave it a go for a trial period and initially we thought it was good. This week, however, we received black mouldy pasta which was in date until 12 Aug 26. We did highlight to Gousto and there only reaction was to offer us a £2.50 credit? Considering the whole meal was ruined and to receive goods of this quality was very off putting. We gave it a go but not for us. We’ll stick with Hello Fresh where we’ve had no issues fresh produce.

Gousto Easy Decision!

We ve had Gousto for 2 weeks now and we are absolutely loving it! The daily discussion of what are we having for dinner, then debating it for 10 minutes or so has seized, and we now sit for 10 minutes on a Sunday I choose 2 my partner chooses 2 DECISIONS MADE WIN WIN!! The quality of the food is excellent and we have fell in love with cooking again! The packaging is great, no issues at all. Thankyou Gousto! 😁

Amazing choice of recipes

Amazing choice of recipes. Lots of choice for gluten free too. Easy to use app. Deliveries on time and very well packaged to keep all items fresh and cool, especially during the heatwave!
Delicious ,user friendly meals which are going down a hit with all members of the family.

I have always loved the food quality…BUT

I have always loved the food quality and recipes. But since moving I am constantly having boxes delivered past 10pm or being cancelled entirely. Not acceptable. Their response it really depends where you live…. Not ok when you have a family and full time job and you rely on this service

Disappointing!

Impressed with our first box of five meals so bought another. The chicken fillets were very small. The carrots were soft and the green beans were manky! My husband complained about the veg and they gave us £3 credit! So we had to then drive out to get fresh veggies. The so called convenience of meal home deliveries allows you to avoid the shops but not in our case. No-one has tasted the veggie sausages, absolutely disgusting, strange taste. With each meal costing just over £5 each, we have been very disappointed with our box.
