COOK makes British frozen ready meals and puddings by hand in its own Kent kitchen, as it has since 1997, with delivery or collection from 100+ UK shops.
The rule that matters most for saving: most voucher codes won't combine with product promotions or discounted items, and the £45 minimum order still has to be met after promotions come off.
COOK's kitchen is in Sittingbourne, Kent, and its food also reaches shoppers through independent stockists, with franchise and stockist opportunities listed on its site. The menu runs from single portions up to dishes for 6-8, sorted by protein and cuisine, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and high-protein options, kids' meals, sauces and sides. There are also canapés and dinner party courses, party food, cakes, cheesecakes, pavlovas and ice cream, plus meal boxes for new parents and families, gift cards and corporate gifts. Most meals carry a best-before date 2-9 months out.
The company has a section on being a B Corp and publishes yearly progress reports covering its financial and environmental performance, along with gender gap reports. It describes its driving purpose as Nourishing Relationships.

Shelf life
Most meals carry a best-before date 2-9 months from purchase, so a freezer stock-up keeps well.
Codes only work when they come as an online code: staff discounts, local adverts and charity promotions without one can't be used on the COOK website.
Most codes won't combine with other offers, product promotions or discounted items, and each is limited to one use per household.
Multi-buy promotions apply automatically in the basket and can't be opted out of, so a basket full of multi-buys may leave a code with nothing to work on.
Check that your order still clears the £45 minimum once promotions are taken off, because the minimum spend must be met on top of them.
If your COOK code doesn't work
Exclusions: Staff discounts and local adverts, vouchers or charity promotions without an online code cannot be used online.
Combining offers: Most voucher codes cannot be combined with other offers, product promotions or discounted items; one use per household; minimum spend must be met on top of promotions.
A COOK subscription is the steadiest saving for UK households: 15% off the first subscription order and free delivery on every subscription order after it.
Referring a friend is worth £10 off, and new parents can get 10% off.
The standing multi-buys cut the price of single portions, with Pots for One at 3 for £13 and Pies for One at 2 for £11, plus Kids' Meals at 5 for £16.
At Christmas, taking delivery or collection of a COOK turkey or Christmas dinner bundle before 6 December enters a weekly draw to win the whole order free.
