After trying a few different brand meal boxes we tried Grubby and haven’t looked back.
The recipes are delicious, nutritious and super easy to follow and recreate. Quality ingredients, great customer service, they give you a nice little playlist to sing along with whilst you’re prepping and cooking. Genuinely can’t fault anything. Love, love, LOVE Grubby!
Very impressed with choice and delivery is always within a one hour slot.
I find some of the meal timings a little optimistic and prep takes me considerably longer than listed. The produce is fresh and really good quality.

Overall fantastic - could improve portion size and quality of veg
Overall fantastic, some improvements could be made.
Pros - excellent selection of meals and they are DELICIOUS! Absolutely loved everything we ordered. We had 2 weeks of deliveries.
Packaging was fairly eco friendly
Website easy to use.
Cons - small portions. My husband and I are both thin people and we were still extremely hungry after each meal. They feel like side dishes or lunches, not main meals and this was the main reason we stopped our subscription
Some veg was a bit on the ropey side. Some quality control/ freshness checks would t go amiss
Communication / labelling about stuff for the freezer wasn’t clear. We got caught out with this.
Overall, I would recommend, just be prepared to have some extra dishes to eat with these if you’re planning them as evening meals.
We’ve recently started the grubby box after using Gousto for 5 years - Grubby’s quality of ingredients, recipes and choice is far better. We wish we had switched sooner, genuinely impressed with everything.
Love the meals all delicious. Only issue is last few weeks, water leakage in boxes from perhaps freezer blocks defrosting, leaking out. Recyclable paper bags used so can get a bit soggy, but manageble
Food is great quality and the choice is brilliant. Arrives on time with good packaging and the recipes are easy to follow. Every meal has been tasty and never hungry but all fat and calories are accounted for! Can’t fault and will continue to order.
The food from Grubby is excellent, we have them five days a week and absolutely love it. Very tasty and healthy, I certainly feel better for it! I had to contact customer services as one of my boxes got lost…they were easy to contact and extremely helpful…they gave me a full refund, and £15 off my next box for the inconvenience, also the following day they contacted me and said they would be sending out a free box!!! Excellent, I certainly never expected that! I would highly recommend.
Grubby does not tell new customers which courier they use. It's DPD and for my first ever order today DPD failed to deliver (as they usually do with next day service) claiming there was an unexpected incident. I contacted Grubby and was told I'd have a full refund. I just checked my account and no refund. I have cancelled my subscription as I don't do business with firms who rely on DPD Next Day anymore.
I’m now on week 3 of Grubby. I decided to use a box due to work stresses meaning I had little time to plan or shop but I enjoy cooking and having a nice meal to enjoy is important for me. I’ve enjoyed all the meals though some much more than others. It’s convenient that I can skip weeks when I’m working away from home. I’ve also found portion sizes to be good. Sometimes getting 3 portions out of the dinners. The packaging for me doesn’t work as I have to unpack it all to fit in fridge so for me could just send all ingredients and I’ll sort into which meals. Great recipes though and given me little tweaks I’d never have thought of. Also found the produce is generally better quality than supermarket. Overall early days but so far impressed. Be nice for loyalty offers as so many of these boxes are giving discounts to new customers but if you stick with one be good to recognise loyalty.
The food is delicious and no complaints. Instructions make sense and I haven’t failed yet! Only slight complaint is that it takes me far longer to prep and cook than it says
