COOK is a pioneering frozen food company, a certified B Corporation and one of the country’s top 100 Best Companies To Work For (14th this year). Our business is purpose driven and values led: we believe all companies should be seeking to make their business a force for good in society.

Since 1997 we’ve been making remarkable food for your freezer, prepared by hand at our Kitchens in Kent (savoury) and Somerset (puddings) using the same ingredients and techniques you would at home. It means our food looks and tastes homemade (maybe even a bit better).
