HomeCooks

Our review

HomeCooks sits in the prepared-meal camp, delivering chef-cooked, high-protein ready meals nationwide with a flexible, commitment-free approach. The standout features are convenience and freedom: there's no subscription required and free UK delivery, so you order weekly plans of six to fourteen meals without locking yourself in. That makes it a strong fit for anyone who wants proper, ready-to-eat food without the prep, washing up or weekly admin that recipe kits demand. The high-protein focus is clear, with meals delivering around 35g of protein and roughly 450 kcal — useful numbers for those training, managing weight or simply wanting filling, balanced meals. At £7.50 per meal it's mid-range for prepared food: not cheap, but reasonable given the chef-prepared quality and the free delivery, which offsets some of the per-meal cost compared with rivals that charge for courier. The main caveat is dietary breadth. The range covers High Protein and Vegetarian, which is narrower than some competitors, so if you follow keto, vegan or specific allergen-free diets you'll want to confirm suitability before ordering. The protein-forward angle also means it's geared towards a particular goal rather than broad household variety. Overall, HomeCooks is a sensible choice for solo eaters and busy professionals who prioritise high-protein, ready-to-eat meals with no commitment and free delivery. If you want the widest diet range or the lowest possible price, look elsewhere, but for fuss-free, protein-rich convenience it delivers well.
