How we rank UK meal kits
We rank family boxes (4 people, 3 meals a week) by regular price per serving once new-customer discounts end. Only services offering 4-person meal kits or family portions are included.
Prices and offers come straight from each provider and the list rebuilds every day, so it changes as deals do. We earn a commission or credit when you sign up through our links; it never changes the order.
