Steak and salmon are included as standard, with no premium price tag, and portion for portion the dinners are 37% bigger than Gousto2.

The Question You Answer 365 Times a Year
- The fridge holds half a bag of spinach and two sausages, and nothing goes with either.
- The plan on the fridge door stopped being true on Tuesday.
- One seat at the table gets a separate dinner cooked for it, again.
- The children ate at 5.30. You ate standing up at 8.
You know how to cook. Most nights you could name four dinners without thinking. What wears the week down is choosing one at 5.45pm, after everything else the day has asked of you, for a table where every seat wants something different.
Every fix you’ve tried improved the shopping and left the decision exactly where it was. A meal plan holds until Tuesday because there may be food in the fridge, but nobody decided what those ingredients were going to become.
HelloFresh moves that decision to Sunday, while you still have the patience to think about it. The week then runs on one decision instead of five.
Back to school: pick the first two weeks of dinners before term starts, and September arrives already decided.
Built Around Your Family. Even the Fussy Ones.
Hidden Veg, hidden well
Hidden Veg Lasagne is a real dinner from the menu: the vegetables are blended into the sauce and baked between the layers, so the fork inspector finds lasagne and doesn’t look further. The Hidden Veg range builds dinners like this every week.
One menu, every seat
Build-Your-Own leaves the particular eater in charge of their own plate, and Elevate for Adults means your dinner doesn’t taste like a children’s menu. One delivery feeds everyone at the table without cooking twice.
HelloFresh vs the 5.45pm Scramble
| HelloFresh | The old way | |
|---|---|---|
| The decision | Made on Sunday, in two minutes | Made at 5.45pm, standing at the fridge |
| The fussy verdict | Family ranges built for it | Cooking a second meal |
| The big shop | Not your job any more | An hour, a list and a trolley |
| The cost | Set when you pick, the same at the till | Depends on what the weekly shop costs |
| Six o’clock | Everyone at one table | Plates in three different rooms |
