Planthood Avis 5 174

Went downhill.

This was so good in the beginning, but I have had repeated issues with the delivery for over a month now. At first, it was just broken sauce packs or other items being damaged, thanks to the courier drivers dropping the package to the ground rather than just placing it down as one would expect. Then they've delivered to the wrong address not once but twice. I was then told that the driver can't pick up the package they left at the wrong address and deliver it to my place (even though they did that the week before, so not sure why that's suddenly impossible), and I'm offered a refund...for ONE of the four meals. Absolutely ridiculous.

I don't think they take complaints seriously, and I am tired of having to re-plan my whole week due to their incompetence. It's a shame, as I did enjoy most of the recipes I've gotten from them, but since they are clearly not interested in listening to complaints and improving the experience of their customers, I am going to cancel my subscription.

I'm afraid I will add to the recent flurry of poor reviews. I know I cancelled my subscription before the deadline. No email confirming cancellation though.
I still received a box even though I had already done my food shop for the week, and had arranged to work in the office and wouldn't be in to take delivery. I'm not sure what has happened their side, but it has been very frustrating arguing my side to be told I cancelled outside the deadline when I know I haven't, and now will be paying for food that I won't be able to eat anyway. An email confirming cancellation would have cleared all this up. These products are always sold on the basis that it is really simple to manage/ stop/ start the subscription, but not the case. Only time I have left a bad review.

It’s been great so far, new ideas for meals made easy

I'd highly recommend Planthood. The ingredients are always really fresh, I’ve never had any quality or delivery issues, and the meals are consistently delicious AND filling.

I’m not vegan, but I wanted a meal box that would help me eat more plants and a wider variety of them, while still feeling genuinely excited about the food. Planthood has completely delivered on that.

As a registered nutritionist who has tried lots of recipe boxes, I can honestly say this is the best one I’ve had so far.

I love how the food is easy to cook, tastes great and isnt ultraprocessed.

Really happy with Planthood, I cannot have dairy or eggs, so these boxes fit perfectly within my diet wishes, on top of that I really like that its all made from scratch with whole foods and no processed stuff.

With some skepticism as a meateater, I subscribed to Planthood 5 weeks ago to see if I found plant-based meals satisfying enough to make them my main meal of the day. To my surprise and delight, I have found Planthood to be tasty and filling. I have tried other subscription services, such as Hello Fresh, which I found to be bland; or Gousto, which I thought was time was intensive. By contrast, the majority of the work is taken out of the preparation, as Planthood provides all the sauces, which expedites the cooking time. The meals have been flavorsome and filling. It has been an easy way to increase the number and variety of plants to my diet. The only reason for a 4 star review, rather than a 5 star review, is because I have received some veggies that are past their best within a day or so, and have needed to replace them. This is something Planthood could look to improve.

I’m not a vegetarian by a long shot , but these meals are delicious and I feel great no more bloating more energy and sleep better. I genuinely have enjoyed every meal so much the benefits are massive, they are so easy to prep and hassle free, I have also learned different ways to cook it’s a win win all round.

Great food which is easy to make and very tasty. Platform to order is super easy.

Really pleased with the service and quality of the food. Portion sizes are big and we sometimes have enough for a 1 person lunch the next day!

Lots of choice, haven’t been disappointed with a recipe yet. All tasty, balanced and healthy. Nutritional info available on the website. Easy to make - doesn’t require any cooking any skills! Have been going for 4 weeks now!

We loved our planthood food experience so nice not to have to plan a meal for three days a week and know your eating healthy plant based ingredients perfect 👌

The meals are absolutely lovely. I look forward to each box and am excited to see what the next menu will be like. This is really helping my transition from vegetarianism to being completely plant based. However on my student budget it’s not something I can keep up long term.

Great choices and simply recipes.

If you're looking to up the vegan content of your diet and up your prepping skills - Planthood is for you!
I've been really happy so far and we've not eaten anything we didn't like.
Everything is super fresh, the sauces are delicious and we've not been left hungry. Well done guys!!

Have been having these meal kits for over a month now, they are so easy to cook and its so nice to just have something healthy I can whip up at the end of a busy day. I'm not a vegetarian but haven't had one that I didn't enjoy eating !

I’ve been using Planthood and I’m really impressed.

The meals are genuinely delicious, full of flavour, and feel like something I wouldn’t normally make myself. As a vegetarian, it can be hard to get enough protein, but Planthood makes that so much easier without compromising on taste.

It’s been a great way to eat healthier and try new things - definitely recommend.

We use Planthood in a slightly unusual way — one box a month, three meals for two people — so this is not the perspective of a weekly subscriber but of someone treating it as a periodic intervention in our cooking.

The immediate point: the food is consistently better than what we produce ourselves, and not by a small margin. That is not for lack of trying on our part—we grow herbs, chilies, and even use fresh turmeric and high-quality spices—but Planthood operates at a level of coherence that is difficult to replicate domestically.

What they are really offering is not just ingredients or recipes, but a system. The produce is notably fresh, and more importantly, it is used at the right moment in its life cycle. There is a clear attention to seasonality — dishes feel aligned with what should be eaten now, rather than what happens to be available year-round in a supermarket. That alone lifts flavour significantly.

The recipes themselves show professional discipline: proper layering of flavours, balance (especially the use of acidity, which many home cooks underuse), and a reliable contrast of textures. There is usually some “flavour concentrate” element—a paste, dressing, or spice base—that gives the dish depth without fuss. One senses these have been tested and refined rather than improvised.

A further point, often overlooked: they solve the problem of entropy in the home kitchen. When we cook for ourselves, ingredients linger, herbs wilt, spices lose potency, and plans change. Planthood removes that entirely. Everything arrives in the right quantity, at the right time, and is used at peak condition. That alone justifies a good part of the cost.

On price: once introductory offers end, it is not cheap compared to cooking from scratch. But in our case—having this relatively infrequently and valuing variety—the difference narrows considerably. If one were to buy all the individual ingredients at comparable quality, in small quantities, with minimal waste, the economics are not as unfavourable as they first appear.

In short, you are paying for three things: consistently fresh ingredients, well-designed recipes, and the removal of planning and waste. For us, used occasionally, it is excellent value—not as a replacement for cooking, but as a way of accessing a level of thought and execution that would otherwise require far more time and effort than we are willing to invest.

It also has a secondary benefit: you learn from it. Cook their meals attentively and you begin to internalise the techniques. That may be the most valuable part of the service.

Firstly - my wife is pescatarian and I eat anything/everything.

We've just finished our 4th Planthood order, and have increased how often we're having them. They're simply really good. Super tasty, relatively quick, and the produce is good quality. The Panang Curry and the Buttermilk "Chicken" have been standouts, but every meal we've had has been enjoyed. The little breakfast pots are cracking as well. We've tried most of the big name meal boxes and have occasionally been a little disappointed by portion size, but that hasn't been an issue with Planthood. My only small negatives: the 'wrap' type meals we've had so far have been more like a lunch than a dinner, and while all the packaging is recyclable in principle, we wish there was less single use soft plastic - but we recognise its not an easy fix for Planthood.

We did have one little issue with one of our orders, but Planthoods customer service resolved it quickly and without any fuss.

We have so enjoyed this food
Amazing tasty vegan healthy food which is well delivered with easy instructions and a great customer service
Highly recommend
A joy to cook some different foods, learnt some things to use outside the recipes
And great value 😊

We are a family of meat eaters but wanted to try something different and Planthood definitely hasn't disappointed us. Even my fussy teenager has really enjoyed the meals! They are super tasty and really easy to make.
