Hi all,

Just seen this advertised of social media, bit like gousto for fishing.

Loads of fairly reasonably priced pre made fresh food to cook up on the bank. May be worth a go for longer sessions as for me I'm terrible at thinking of nice meals to make.

It's laziness and you're paying a premium for the convenience, it's nothing that couldn't be put together with a bit of thought and five minutes spare.

I saw the advert and all the stuff about being so excited you forget about food is rubbish, carp fishing is hardly a strenuous activity with lots of periods with lack of activity, there's always time to eat if you want to, the sponsored anglers implying you don't need to go shopping is rubbish too, you still need to go shopping so May as well pick it up yourself!

Just another company jumping onto the online convenience band wagon. Whether this idea has traction only time will tell.

I noticed they've got Scott Lloyd on board. Not the best social influencer. Dont think I've ever seen him eat anything hes cooked himself on his social media feed. Surprised Deliveroo haven't signed him up a long time ago..

Ive jist looked at this, i assumed you meant it was pre cooked for you to heat up. But its just raw ingredients to cook your self. Ehats the point of the service

What a con.... Not sure where you get reasonable pricing from, the bits I've looked at are bloody expensive

Only looked at main meals as wouldn't bother getting anything else. Just have porridge for breakfast and make a sandwich or something for lunch. The dinners look okay though IMO. You're paying for being lazy which I am when it comes to food on the bank.

See I think they are as much of a rip off as the rest of it. And it's not really paying to be lazy as all they do is give you ingredients. You still have to make it. Makes no sense imo

I think he runs it mate. He's one of the 2 directors. Tickled my tbh, the guy famed for pot noodles starts a food firm

Pretty much the same as hello fresh, but the food is for pan cooking. I've used hello fresh before, only via discount codes, and it's pretty good, especially as there is no wastage, so I get the idea, but it's quite a niche market, so cant see it being around for too long

Be good if it was well cooked pre prepaired meals that came in a foil tin the right size to be put straight in a ridgemonkey.

Also, the website only has options for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lunch and dinner are the same thing. Where's Tea?

Rumour has it that they're trialing an arse wiping service on Stone acres
Are you sure?
