Whilst we don't have a box specifically designed for one person, lots of our customers are single-person households and find it works perfectly with their lifestyle.
You could invite friends over for a delicious home-cooked meal, tuck into any remaining food later in the week, or even better, pack a portion for lunch the following day.
In your box, you'll receive step-by-step recipe cards, an insulated cool bag with ice packs containing all your meat, prepped veg and dairy products, and all the portioned out ingredients you need to easily create delicious dinners.
The only ingredients you need at home are some basic pantry items, which will be listed on the recipe card. You can also check which items you'll need in advance when selecting your meals.

All of our allergens are labelled on our upcoming recipes and our ingredient packaging so you can see exactly what’s going into your recipes to make your meal choice.
However, as our suppliers and packing team handle such a wide range of ingredients, we cannot guarantee that no traces of other allergens may be present. For this reason, we can’t offer a gluten free or dairy free preference. Similarly, some of our meat suppliers are certified Halal whilst others are not, so we are unable to guarantee a meal plan suitable for those following a Halal diet.
Right now, we deliver to mainland UK, The Isle of Wight, The Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey (Excluding Herm), Northern Ireland and some areas of the Scottish Highlands.
If we don’t deliver to you yet, check back for future updates as we're always looking to improve and hope we can get our boxes out to you soon.

Changed your mind? You can also unskip a delivery by following the same steps above, as long as you do so by the deadline.
We're sorry, after the deadline has passed we're unable to cancel or change your order. This deadline is in place to ensure HelloFresh is responsible from a food waste and sourcing perspective.
If you're not able to use the box we'd encourage you to gift it to a friend or family member.
Unfortunately, we don’t have an option for one-off orders. However, we are a flexible subscription service, and you can skip weeks and deactivate your subscription at any time if you aren’t ready to receive a delivery every week.

We currently have two cool pouches that are being used in our boxes to keep your food nice and cold.
The first is our plastic cool pouch, which is made out of recycled PET. Unfortunately, our PET cool pouch is not recyclable as polyester can only be reused a limited amount of times.
The second is our new paper cool pouch. This is recyclable! Sorting equipment will recognise it as paper and sort it into appropriate recycling bales for mixed paper or corrugated boxes in material recovery facilities.
For most of our delivery slots, we operate a leave safe policy which means our delivery drivers will follow the delivery instructions that you have specified. All of our boxes contain insulation and ice packs to keep your ingredients fresh, just make sure you pop the ingredients in the fridge as soon as you can.
If you'd like to update your delivery instructions, please click on the button below, just make sure your changes are made by the deadline, which is 11:59 PM five days prior to your delivery. If the drop down options aren't suitable for you, please select 'other' and specify your preferred location.
Top tips for your delivery instructions:
- Phone numbers are not an effective delivery instruction as not all of our drivers carry mobile phones and we cannot guarantee the driver will call you.
- The drop zone must be accessible (no code required) and free from animals and obstructions.
- The driver can use their discretion to leave your box in a place they deem to be safe if your delivery instructions are not adequate.
Our standard delivery time slot is between 8AM and 9PM, so your box can arrive at any time within this window. Please keep an eye out for any SMS or email updates we or your courier may provide about your delivery. If you are based in Mainland UK or Northern Ireland, your courier will send you tracking information via SMS or email on the day of your delivery. Please refer to this for up-to-date information, it is more accurate than the information we are able to provide via our app or website.
Please get in touch with us if your delivery window has passed and you've not received an email update.

At HelloFresh we're committed to reducing our packaging. To provide fresh, high quality ingredients we do need to ensure some items are packaged, however, we have a packaging reduction programme in place and since 2017 we've reduced the packaging in the boxes by 20%.
This includes removing all black plastic, replacing trays with skin packs and we work with industry bodies like WRAP to explore ways that we can take advantage of innovations in packaging.

Packaging improvements have always been a priority to our operations teams around the world. The balance we always strive for is between the amount of packaging and the need to maintain food quality and safety (thereby reducing food waste).
We have introduced the use of on packet recycling labels on some of our packaging, which will tell you exactly what can and can't be recycled. The best way to tell is to ask your local council. Alternatively, check out our page 'Innovative Packaging'.
The price of your delivery depends on the size of box you order and the meals or Add-ons you select each week. Take a look at all our recipes and pricing options below.
If you choose a Premium meal or extra, you will see an extra charge for these goodies, separate to your normal meal box. Any additional charges are stated on the menu and your order total will update if you select them for an upcoming order.

All of our meat and poultry is farm assured and our supplying farms undergo regular animal welfare audits. We source our ingredients from committed suppliers who must pass through a Supplier Approval Process before supplying HelloFresh.
We only accept products from suppliers that hold certification from the leading auditing standards and we maintain close relationships, including regular visits, to ensure that the ingredients we supply to you are of the highest possible quality and the perfect fit for our delicious recipes.
Responsible ingredient sourcing means getting to know our suppliers far beyond the specifications we can read on a label. We aim to get as close to the source of our supply as possible, to ensure freshness whilst minimising extra food miles, warehousing and food waste in the supply chain.
You can find out more about all our wonderful suppliers on our website, through ‘Our Suppliers’ page or contact us for specific enquiries. For all other branded products, please contact the manufacturer.
HelloFresh has a variety of recipes that could potentially contain an allergen. Ingredients are stored separately in order to minimise cross-contamination.
Most ingredients pass through HelloFresh to you sealed in the packages they were received in, however, there is a small chance of cross-contamination so we cannot guarantee that a recipe is free of a particular allergen.
At the moment we don't offer specific allergy preferences. We do list all of the allergens on our recipe cards, and on the website when you're selecting your recipes. We highlight specific ingredients that contain one or more of the fourteen major allergens.
We leave it to our customers to review the ingredients and determine which recipes best suit their dietary needs.
As a general rule, our meat will always have an expiry date of at least three days from the date of delivery. Other ingredients' freshness can vary but are all designed to last the week.
We'd advise you to plan your meals with the freshness of items in mind, using products such as fish with shorter expiry dates at the start of the week. Check the recipe cards for any eat me first or eat me early messages which are there as a guide to consuming your recipes.
We want to make it easier than ever to eat sustainably. 'Carbon Conscious' recipes have the smallest carbon footprint of the weekly menu and produce 50% less emissions.
To help you make informed decisions when choosing your weekly menu, we've measured the environmental impact of our recipes by looking at the CO2 equivalents (CO2e) emitted. CO2e focuses on all greenhouse gases that have a global warming potential (including methane and carbon dioxide) rather than just CO2, to give a more accurate measure of their environmental impact.
HowGood is the world’s largest product and ingredient sustainability database and has partnered with HelloFresh to help us measure the CO2e impact of the ingredients used for our recipes.
Sometimes, you may see what looks like two payments for the same transaction. When we process your payment, a pending transaction can appear on your statement. This is what's called a 'shadow payment' where your bank is authorising the payment.
If you have been charged for both transactions, please contact us.
Shortly after you've completed signing up to our subscription service you'll receive both a confirmation and welcome email from us.
We'll tell you what you've signed up for, the date your first delivery is scheduled and everything you need to know about managing your HelloFresh subscription! You won't be charged for your first order until the day after the deadline, which is 11:59 PM , four days prior to your delivery.
