Cooling-off period (14 days)

If you are within the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 from the date you enter the contract, you have the right to cancel without reason. For perishable goods that have been prepared and delivered, the cooling-off right is excluded once meals have been prepared specifically for you and delivered. To cancel within 14 days before delivery, notify Prep Kitchen via your account or by email to [email protected] and request a refund. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Product quality, damaged or spoiled deliveries

If a meal is damaged, spoiled or compromised in quality on delivery, contact Customer Care with order number and photos. Prep Kitchen's terms state they will offer a replacement or refund for compromised deliveries. Required proof: order number, dated photos showing damage. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 (service must be performed with reasonable care and skill).

Price increase or change to contract

Prep Kitchen's published terms do not list a specific company rule for unilateral price increases in the research data. Under UK contract law, a significant change to the contract price or material terms may allow you to cancel. Required proof: the company's notice of the price change and your account details. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 for fairness of contract terms.

Moving address or relocation

Prep Kitchen's public terms do not specify a formal relocation cancellation policy in the research data. If you cannot receive deliveries at your new address, request cancellation via your account or email and state your new address. Required proof: new address documentation if requested by the company. Applicable law: Not a specific statutory article in the research data; handle via contract terms and customer help.

Death of the subscriber

Prep Kitchen's terms do not publish a death-of-subscriber policy in the research data. If cancelling because of a subscriber's death, contact customer care at [email protected] and provide the account details and the documentation requested by the company. Required proof: not publicly disclosed by Prep Kitchen; typically a copy of the death certificate is used by traders. Applicable law: No specific statutory article in the research data; treat as contract termination and handle with customer care.

End of commitment

Research does not show a fixed minimum commitment for Prep Kitchen. If your plan has a specified minimum commitment in your account, cancel according to those dates in your subscription area. Required proof: your account subscription details. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 regarding fairness of contract terms.

Before you cancel: how to negotiate with Prep Kitchen

Prep Kitchen commonly promotes pause options and first-time customer discounts in its marketing. Known offers from research: 40% off the first box and 20% off the next three via the app, or 55% off the first week with specific codes. To ask for retention: email [email protected], explain your reason for wanting to cancel, ask explicitly for a retention discount or the ability to pause deliveries, and offer specific dates you want to pause. If you want to avoid waste, request moving a delivery date in the same message and include your order number.

What cancelling saves you - yearly calculation

Use real prices published by Prep Kitchen for this math. Example 1 - Balanced plan at the lowest published meal price of £6.95 per meal: if you receive 9 meals per week (three meals per day), weekly cost is 9 x £6.95 = £62.55. Yearly cost is 62.55 x 52 = £3,252.60 per year. Example 2 - Lower Carb (weight loss) at £7.00 per meal: if 9 meals per week, weekly cost is 9 x £7.00 = £63.00. Yearly cost is 63.00 x 52 = £3,276.00 per year. Example 3 - Lower Carb (muscle gain) at £8.25 per meal: 9 meals per week = 9 x £8.25 = £74.25 weekly. Yearly cost = 74.25 x 52 = £3,861.00 per year.

Cheapest real alternative from competitors: price depends on chosen service. Use your estimated weekly cost to compare. If you cancel and switch to lower-cost ready-meal or supermarket meal-prep options that cost e.g. £3.50 per meal for 9 meals per week, weekly cost would be 9 x £3.50 = £31.50 and yearly cost 31.50 x 52 = £1,638.00. Savings by cancelling Prep Kitchen (using the Balanced example): 3,252.60 - 1,638.00 = £1,614.60 per year.

Key UK laws

The main laws that apply are the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, which include a 14-day cooling-off right for distance contracts, and the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and prevents unfair contract terms.

Auto-renewal and hard-to-cancel subscriptions

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) treats hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms as potentially unfair. If you face obstacles cancelling, keep records and use the formal complaint channels below.

How to escalate

1. Complain to Prep Kitchen first via your account or [email protected]. 2. If unresolved, contact Citizens Advice for guidance and to escalate. 3. If charged after cancellation, request a chargeback through your card issuer or use Section 75 for qualifying credit card payments. Applicable laws: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Re-activation

If you want to re-subscribe later, sign up again through the website or app. Past promotional codes for new customers (for example 40% off first box or 55% off first week) are typically for new customers only and may not apply to reactivations.
