Affordable Meal Delivery Services in the UK

We’re right in the middle of a meal delivery service boom. More and more people used recent lockdowns as the ideal time to get on board with a healthy meal delivery service. Either to make sure there were always meals ready in the fridge or have a go at making something themselves using meal prep kits. As a result, spending on such delivery services has risen by 15 percent.

If you’re interested in subscribing to a meal delivery service, here are the most affordable ones available in the UK.

HelloFresh

HelloFresh is a meal kit delivery service that works out at just over £3 per meal. Their dishes tend to be quick and easy to prepare and have convenience in mind.

The brand also has an impressive selection of plans. Choose a low-calorie or vegetarian option to suit your dietary requirements and change at any time. There’s even a “special occasion” meal service.

HelloFresh allows you to get 50 percent off your first order and 20 percent off your next three, saving £33 in total.

Green Chef

Green Chef is a little more expensive than HelloFresh. While the meals are almost £6 each, it is easy to see why they cost more. Green Chef’s meals cater for more specialist diets, which allows you to easily access a vegan diet or a keto diet without having to worry about shopping for ingredients or preparing.

The kits can provide four meals for two or four people every week. They come ready to cook and they have wholesome ingredients. The brand is also 100 percent plastic and carbon neutral, offsetting any damaging impact they may have to the environment.

To sweeten the deal, you get 30 percent off your first order and 15 percent off the next three, saving nearly £2 per meal on your first dishes with the service.

Gousto

Gousto provides recipes bundled together in a box of two, three, or four recipes. You can get a small box for two people or a large box that is suitable for four.

One of the best things about Gousto is that you can choose the specific meals you want from a list, and the box will be made accordingly. In fact, there are 50 different meals on the menu each and every week, so you can choose which you want.

You can enjoy 60 percent off your first order and 30 percent off any further boxes you buy in the first month.

Mindful Chef

Mindful Chef is focused on quality. They source the best ingredients from around the UK and promise only the highest-quality protein in the recipe boxes. These healthy meals come with calorie counts and information about where the ingredients are sourced. When you buy from Mindful Chef, you can rest assured that these meals are filling, healthy, and responsible.

Mindful Chef is on the more expensive end of the market. Many of the meals for two people cost £15 each. Meals for four are cheaper, with options for £27 for all the ingredients you need.

If you sign up today, you can enjoy £10 off your first two orders from Mindful Chef.
