Packaging & ethics

  • Certified B Corp

Packaging: Frozen packaging, recyclable where possible.

Sourcing: Hand-prepared, chef-made meals.

COOK makes premium frozen ready meals that are hand-prepared the way you would cook them at home, sold through its own shops, independent stockists and nationwide home delivery. It has been a B Corp since 2013 and is still family-owned.

Meals for one run roughly £5 to £7.50, and there is a £45 minimum order for courier delivery, so it is positioned as a treat rather than a budget shop. There is no subscription - you simply order what you want, when you want - and you can collect free from over 100 COOK shops.

It suits anyone who wants restaurant-quality convenience in the freezer, particularly for nights when cooking from scratch is not happening, and who is happy to pay above supermarket-frozen prices for the quality.

Our hands-on notes: [To add - first-hand experience: portion sizes, how it cooked/tasted, packaging, and whether we would reorder.]

Frequently asked questions

Does COOK require a subscription?

No. COOK is a one-off purchase - you order meals as you like them, with a £45 minimum for courier delivery or free Click & Collect from its shops.

Is COOK better than supermarket ready meals?

It is pitched well above supermarket frozen on both quality and price - meals are chef-prepared, and you pay a premium for that.
