About COOK
Inspired by the meals his mum batch-cooked and froze in old ice cream tubs, Ed founded COOK in 1997 with his friend Dale, a catering chef. They dreamed of making the world’s best prepared meals and doing business differently from the crowd. Having helped found the UK wing of the responsible business movement B Corp in 2014, COOK is at the forefront of redefining the purpose of business, so it works for people and the planet, not just profit. We have won a Queen’s Award for Enterprise for our RAW Talent employment scheme, giving people a second chance after prison, homelessness and other challenges. Every year our meals win Great Taste Awards and glowing reviews from customers and in the national press.
Bought five meals from Cook as a first time buyer and having been recommended by friends. Very impressive selection to choose from but so far a bit disappointing in the eating. Tagine with chickpea lacked flavour. Chicken tarragon was a bit underwhelming. Chicken and mushroom lasagna had a very tasty sauce but only a minimal amount of chicken. When compared to Charlie Bigham I’d say so far these are not as good and a bit pricier.
Fantastic as always.
Friendly, timely delivery. Great quality tasty food, just like I like to cook when I can. Very pleased to know about their efforts to help people into work, and their contibutions to local communities.
Good choice
Easy website, good selection. All purchased as single meals for mother in law who is in her 90’s. She loved everything she has had. Perfect size for her too. Worth the money.
We had a duck and venison pithivier pie oh my goodness how absolutely fantastic it was, beautiful light puff pastry absolutely stuffed with so much venison and duck which had been cooked in port and red wine. Would highly recommend it but think it may have been just a Christmas speciality
Always very helpful and good value for lovely meals
Web site good. Delivery good. Good choice. Food good. Decent value. Correct portions. All in all good.
Nutritious and tasty
I love the quality, staff helpfulness and ethos of Cook. I'm hoping that that more company's follow suit. The meals are easy to cook and always taste home made.
Great meals, bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Efficiently delivered. Very impressed with COOK. Would like air fry times abd temps on packaging.
The food quality is just as good year after year
I ordered the turkey Christmas dinner. The ordering process and the collection of the food were very straight forward and I was able to arrange the timing and date of collection to suit me as I had no room in freezer for early delivery. I had intended to arrange delivery but someone in the Lymington Cook phoned after receipt of my order and helpfully pointed out that the turkey would take 36 hours to defrost and so I arranged collection instead. The cooking instructions were very helpful and the food was very tasty especially the turkey. I would have given 5 star review instead of 4 but I felt the turkey was too salty for my liking.
We always think Cook is a treat
Small turkey Too small for four people. It was mainly stuffing - hardly and meat. We won’t be buying again
Great Christmas dinner, clear instructions, efficient delivery, & maintained calm when my credit card did not work on the day in question! 😩
Found ordering on website a bit cumbersome, but delivery and food quality excellent.
Very efficient service. The selection of food choices met my needs.
Ordered and collected Monkfish wrapped in Prosciutto. Easy to order. Ready to collect. A Delicious Christmas Dinner.
