Simmer Eats

Our review

Simmer Eats sits in the sweet spot for anyone who wants the convenience of ready meals without the freezer-burn compromise. These are fresh, never frozen, microwave-ready dishes that arrive on a weekly subscription, costing between £7.49 and £7.96 per meal. With roughly 500-600 kcal and 30-50g of protein each (around 550 kcal and 35g on the typical plate), they're squarely aimed at people chasing protein targets without weighing and prepping their own food. The choice of portion sizes is a genuine plus, letting bigger appetites or those in a calorie deficit dial the volume up or down, and there are vegetarian and gluten-free options alongside the high-protein focus. Because everything is chilled rather than frozen, you'll want to plan your week around the eat-by dates rather than stockpiling. Two caveats temper the value: delivery adds £6.99 per order, which nudges up the effective cost-per-meal noticeably on smaller boxes, and you're committing to a subscription rather than a one-off trial. That said, for desk lunches and post-gym dinners, the fresh-not-frozen texture and reliable macros are the headline draws, and being able to microwave straight from the fridge suits busy weeks. It's a solid pick if you value taste and freshness over rock-bottom price, and if you can order enough meals at once to dilute the delivery fee.
