The best meal box we've ever had!

Hello! I just want to say that last week’s recipes were amazing!! Our favourite was the nachos. Everything was so delicious. Thank you so much. XX

Maggie

I'm a single working mum who struggles to feed myself well, and who hates all the packaging that comes with other meal kits or pre-made meals so this is absolutely perfect for me.

Marianne

Many thanks for all the delicious meals over the last three months. We'll look forward to continuing our subscription once we're back from holiday

Clare

Katie

I LOVE yumjar and where you’ve gone with it! I really appreciate being able to eat a variety of delicious vege food with less prep and zero waste!

Emily

Yum Jar is incredibly helpful for myself, my husband and my toddler. The toddler ate every meal! A huge thank you - and we didn’t have to sacrifice our morals and cause a ton of waste to have some easier meals.
