Yes, we are a local Irish business that was founded over 8 years ago by Ryan Scott and Roman Grogan. Our team has grown in recent years and with that our ability to hire great chefs, recipe developers, dietitians, customer support, fresh produce experts and delivery drivers. Because of the hard work of our dedicated team, DropChef is Ireland’s premier fresh recipe kit meal delivery service.

DropChef gives you all the ingredients you need to cook a healthy dinner from scratch. This means that you get the meat, vegetables, dry goods, sauces, herbs and anything else needed to cook the recipe you select. Inside your order, you also will receive your recipe cards that we even colour code to match the ingredients you need for that meal.

If you receive your produce at the weekend it will last until the end of that work week.

If you receive your produce at the start of the week it will last until the end of that week.

There are best before dates on all of our meat and fish products too.

DropChef is extremely proud of our new state-of-the-art kitchen. Our team has been working with the same Irish craft butcher and fishmonger since we began over 8 years ago. Our vegetables and produce are bought from Irish farmers when in season and when out of season we buy from as close to the source/farmer as possible. This cuts out the middleman so that we get fresher produce faster and you see savings and produce that lasts.

We put a great deal of effort and creativity into making sure that every meal is healthy and nutrient-dense. Our attitude is that we should take care of making sure that our menu gives you a healthy, varied and balanced diet so that you enjoy your meals and don’t get lost in the details. All of our recipes have been designed/approved by a dietitian and you can easily check out the nutritional macros when selecting your dishes. We also include them on your recipe cards. Our prepared meals are cooked from scratch just as you would expect from a high-end restaurant.

Not at all, so long as you can follow our recipe card you will learn as you go. If you are a more experienced cook you will really enjoy DropChef as you will feel like Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver as we have given you everything you need to go. Typically the more experienced you are the faster you will be but that may only take a couple of weeks of cooking with us to be a master chef.

Not at all, we assume you have a very basic setup. You will only ever need an oven & hob, pots pans and knife. No food processors or equipment that takes a long time to clean up.

If you’re not happy with DropChef for any reason let us know and we’ll either deliver you another box or refund your money, your choice. We have a smiley face guarantee policy!
