Planthood Recensioni 

Great choice, good quality ingredients and fantastic customer service.

REPLY TO PLANTHOOD ANSWER:
Your answer still doesn’t help at all, and is clearly not customer focused! You are basically covering yourselves up by using blurry options for rescheduling the delivery. I’m sorry but when you write in an email that DPD will send me tracking updates and I can postpone the delivery, it’s OBVIOUS and logic that I get in touch with the courrier directly to rearrange the delivery. Why would I contact you to rearrange the delivery ? You would need to contact DPD anyways right ? So why complicating things ? The main issue is that you should provide at least a better cooling system in case the delivery is postponed by 12 hours. And I am not the only person who’s been writing this type of review ! You just don’t want to listen to your customers and you didn’t even want to refund me the 40£ for the food I have lost, I’m sorry but keep explaining yourself as much as you want. You are not providing a great customer service.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
Be careful !!! This company uses a delivery service that will NOT keep your items fresh if you happen to not be able to get the delivery on the day that was originally planned. I had the delivery scheduled for a Thursday and was worried about the time as I work in town until 6pm. I emailed Planthood expressing my concerns and they said I could always reschedule the delivery at a later date but they NEVER mentioned that when a delivery is delayed, there is a risk that the cooling packs will no longer remain frozen or that the box may arrive warmer than expected. In my case, the food arrived WARM !!! With the heatwave in Scotland, no wonder why! I was shocked, Planthood said they couldn’t refund me anything and I lost all the food. 4 meals worth ! This is an outrage. Don’t use this company.

It’s hard nowadays to get something so right but Planthood have. Every time I make a meal I make a mental note to send an e mail to congratulate them. From an ethical angle as a vegan who doesn’t like cooking this is like a gift from heaven. Just the right prep time, incredible tastes and super organised. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! You deserve everything for doing this so well. A non vegan friend purchased me a voucher because she was so impressed by the meals. I was instantly hooked. In a world of ignorant comments about veganism this will show the way to ending the cruelty of the meat and dairy industry. I am in awe of your business model and passion. 👍🏼🙏🏻😍

The meals by planthood are made to an incredibly high standard - they are varied, exciting and very quick to cook. We are so busy and cooking delicious high protein vegan food is a challenge, this has revolutionised meal time and means we have much less food waste.

I have been using planthood for quite a while and I really like their recipes and the quality of the products. The recipes are quite original, with a lot of Asian and middle eastern options, all super tasty. It is easy to spot recipes with higher protein content, which has been useful to help me getting closer to my daily target.

Every dish we have had from this company has been like a high end restaurant meal. Preparation and cooking time vary, but most take no longer than half an hour and many take considerably less. The excellent pre-prepared sauces are exquisite. Flavours have always been amazing and the fact these are also very healthy, well balanced meals as well means there is nothing to fault. The price is certainly reasonable.

Planthood should rename itself “Planthood SAUCE Company”.

After trying their service, I feel deceived- the only thing they actually cook is the SAUCES. I got several huge bags with “handmade with love sauces”
Everything else is simply supermarket ingredients: canned Suma beans, raw vegetables, herbs and salad leaves that still need washing, chopping and cooking.

The website says things like “we can’t wait to cook for you” and gives the impression that you’ll receive prepared meals that just need reheating. Completely misleading.

In reality, they cook the sauces. That’s it. Everything else is exactly what I could have bought myself from a supermarket for less money

If this is a meal kit service, it should be marketed as a meal kit. I paid expecting the convenience of ready-made meals, not for a box with expensive raw vegetables, cans, and sauces.

I’ve been doing planthood for about a year and a half now, still going strong. It’s the tastiest, healthiest, freshest, easiest meals you’re going to cook for yourself without all the effort of planning, shopping, and being robbed by greedy supermarkets. Great value and variety. I love planthood and look forward to it every week. Thanks team I really appreciate your hard work

Don't usually write trust pilot reviews but wow this has been a game changer. Delicious and varied meals. Can see macros easily. Fun to cook and quick. Some meals are next level and others are just okay but the convenience, freshness and health aspects all make it worth the odd average dish. Only 2 downsides I've found - ingredients being a little worse for wear by time I get to cook them if not til end of the week, sometimes several steps but I tend to just simplify. So easy to skip deliveries and amend orders too. Big big fan!

As a lone parent household, Planthood has been such a blessing. I've been ordering around half of my/our weekly meals. Most of all it eases the decision-making and creative overwhelm of conjuring meals and still *feels* like home-cooking. The meals are simple to prepare, delicious and inventive. I've definitely cut food waste, improved nutrition and meal variety and been filled up with practical ideas for meals that I can learn to prepare from scratch myself (cashew labneh is a game-changer!) Can't recommend highly enough. And all packaged thoughtfully and with minimum waste.

The menus are tasty and easy to prepare.

This has made our life so much easier and healthier. My husband is a meat-eating food diva but the cooking falls to me and I’m not good at it and don’t enjoy it. Now we’re eating plants 4x nights a week and the flavours and presentation i can produce with planthood is always on a level way beyond what could do before. He’s reassured by how much protein is in every serving- So everyone’s happy. No precious brain energy used on mundane menu planning and food shopping. The effort I have to give is utilised where it matters - 20-30 mins in the kitchen cooking and washing two pans after. Happy to not be cooking meat and also improving everyone’s gut microbiome with all the plants. Thought it was expensive but in reality we’ve saving loads as not constantly popping to Waitrose to buy 2 things then coming out having spent £40.

I was so surprised at how easy and amazingly delicious the meals are. The healthy ingredients and lack of processed foods are a massive bonus and make having a healthy lifestyle so much easier. I absolutely love these boxes!

So disappointed. We love the boxes but after a year + of good service we've now received 2nd box in a row a full day late with food at room temperature. Icepacks were completely melted not even cool anymore. Going in bin. If your courier is incapable of delivering same day and well within the life of the cool packs its pointless to continue with our order which is sad given the otherwise high quality.

The dishes are absolutely incredible. I used hello fresh for years but it’s not a patch on this. It feels like eating at a restaurant every night and super easy to make.

Really tasty food that’s good for you! Easy to prepare with everything you need delivered. The customer service is outstanding and there’s great flexibility to skip or amend an order when you need to. Excellent all round.

Excellent quality meals. Easy to prepare and they taste like a restaurant meal. We are so impressed. Love that the recipes change every week. So easy to prepare too. I highly recommend.

I expect a lot from my online shopping experiences, but this time, I was left disappointed. The product arrived two weeks late, which really messed up my plans. When it finally got here, it was packaged poorly — the box was torn and it looked like it had been through a lot. The item itself is alright, but definitely not worth the hassle of waiting and worrying about whether it would arrive in good condition. I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon.

Found Planthood via an instagram ad that showed the nicest young couple evidently channelling their passion into this dream. A wonderful website and user journey allows you to choose meal kits from a selection; and you can change your mind before payment is taken. I order 3 per fortnight to ensure nothing gets left in the fridge unused (our lives don’t always suit planned cooking). The illustrations and recipe methods are super appealing. Then there’s the taste…. Absolutely delicious, big thumbs up! Brilliant concept that makes an average weekday evening feel special.

A genuinely exciting alternative to takeaway, even if you’re not vegan

I’m not vegan, not even close. I love meat, although every now and then I may go through a vegetarian phase. Recently, however, I decided that I wanted to eat more healthily and include more plant-based foods in my diet, which is why I decided to give Plant Hood a try.

My original plan was simple: if the vegan meals weren’t filling enough, I could always add some meat. I was one of those people who assumed that vegan food might not be satisfying or substantial enough. I’m very happy to admit that I was completely wrong.

The menu may not be enormous but I have never struggled to find something that sounded delicious. Every recipe we have tried has been genuinely impressive. The combinations of ingredients are creative, unusual and unlike anything I would normally think of cooking myself. Often the ingredients themselves are quite simple but then an incredible sauce brings everything together and turns the dish into a real explosion of flavour.

My husband is extremely particular about food and is an excellent, enthusiastic cook. He is not vegan either and was initially very sceptical about the whole idea. In the end he absolutely loved every single dish we prepared.

Plant Hood is perfect for anyone who is tired of eating the same meals, fed up with constantly deciding what to cook for dinner, or simply feels as though they have already tried everything. The recipes are definitely not for people who prefer bland food. If you enjoy bold flavours, unusual combinations and seriously good sauces, this service is absolutely worth trying.

It is more expensive than some other recipe-box services, but in my opinion the quality and originality of the meals make it worth the extra cost. It also genuinely replaces a takeaway for us, which helps justify the price.

Some recipes are very straightforward, while others require a little more effort. I should mention that when a recipe says it takes 20 minutes, it usually takes me closer to 40, although that may simply be because I’m a slower cook!

My only real criticism is the freshness of some of the more perishable ingredients. For example our box arrived on Monday but by Wednesday the cucumber was already looking rather tired. I still used it but it was not something I would have chosen in a supermarket. By Friday the bag of spinach for our final recipe had completely given up on life, and we had to buy a replacement.

There are not many highly perishable ingredients in each box so this has not ruined the overall experience. However considering the price of the service, I would really like the fresh vegetables and leaves to arrive in better condition and last throughout the week.

Overall it is obvious that a great deal of thought, creativity and care goes into Plant Hood. The attention to detail is excellent, and you can tell that the people behind the service genuinely care about what they are creating.

Will I continue using it? Absolutely. I may not order every week but I will definitely order regularly. I also really appreciate that deliveries can be scheduled weekly, fortnightly or even monthly.

Plant Hood has completely changed my opinion of vegan meals. The food is filling, exciting and packed with flavour, portions are HUGE, and no additional meat required.
