Frequently Asked Questions

How it works

How do I get started?

Your plan is a predefined meal plan created for you based on your dietary goals and preferences. Simply follow through the steps; choosing whether you’d want a 5-day weekly plan (Mon to Fri) or whole week plan, with breakfasts or snacks optional.

Can I change the meals in my plan?

Absolutely! Our meal plan is super flexible, meaning you can select your meals based on your preferences. Simply log into your account, click on “Delivery calendar”, then “Edit meal plan”. This will bring up your entire weekly plan and you can edit meals the meals you’d like to receive. Any additional costs or deductions will be updated in your basket accordingly.

How much does it cost?

The weekly price will be shown once your plan has been created. The cost will be dependent on your meal selections. For example, for breakfast/snack, lunch and dinner for under £100 a week.

How do I place an order?

Once you are happy with your plan, proceed to checkout and enter your details. Select your preferred day to start your deliveries on either Sunday or Wednesday and enter your payment details. We accept Debit/Credit Cards including American Express.

How does the ordering and payment of my weekly plan work?

We are a subscription-based company therefore your plan will automatically be renewed every week with weekly charges.

Changes and cancellations

Can I pause or cancel my subscription?

Yes, you may skip the deliveries or cancel the subscription from your account. Simply log in to your account and head over to the “Subscription settings”.   When you cancel from your account, the system will schedule your cancellation for after you have received all the meals you have paid for. If you wish to cancel sooner, then please get in touch with the customer services team at info@lionsprep.co.uk who can cancel an order sooner as long as there isn’t an order already being prepped for you. Alternatively, as long as there isn’t an order in prep for you, then you can select our “skip” option to opt-out of receiving meals on particular days.

Can I cancel/change a delivery after the order cut off times?

We deliver fresh food twice a week and therefore have two cut-offs, Thursdays at 8pm for a Sunday delivery and Sundays at 8pm for a Wednesday delivery. This cut off is in place to ensure we have the right stock levels for all ingredients and have time to prepare and cook your food.

We also prepare all the admin associated with your order which includes printing, arranging the labels for your meals, packing boxes and ensuring our couriers collect your parcel on time.

Therefore, we are unable to cancel or change your order after the cut off times due to costs and operational complexity associated. We hope you will understand that.

Can I make changes after the deadline?

Please take note of these following days to make changes to your plan:

– Before Thursday 8pm for Sunday delivery
– Before Sunday 8pm for Wednesday delivery

If you need to change an address after any of these times for an upcoming delivery, please contact us as soon as possible info@lionsprep.co.uk

Note that it is not possible to redirect a delivery on the day of delivery.
