Hey Fresto

Our review

Hey Fresto takes a different tack from the cook-from-scratch crowd, delivering frozen, restaurant-style ready meals across more than 50 dishes and multiple cuisines. The headline appeal is convenience without commitment: there's no mandatory subscription, so you can order when it suits and stock the freezer rather than tying yourself to weekly deliveries. That makes it a flexible option for solo eaters, busy professionals or anyone who wants variety on demand. The range is genuinely broad, spanning many cuisines plus a low-calorie line with meals around 450 kcal, and there are vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options too — a decent spread for different diets. Because everything arrives frozen and ready to reheat, there's no prep or washing up beyond the basics, which is the key draw over recipe kits. The trade-offs are cost and transparency. At around £7 per meal it's priced as a premium ready-meal service, and the £7.99 delivery fee is steep, so you'll want to order enough at once to spread that across several meals. Per-meal protein isn't published, so anyone tracking macros closely will need to check individual dishes at checkout. Overall, Hey Fresto suits those who value convenience, variety and freedom from subscriptions over the lowest price. If you're cost-conscious or want detailed macro data up front, it's less compelling — but as a freezer-filling, no-strings ready-meal service with broad dietary coverage, it does the job.
