How hard is it to cancel Mindful Chef?
Mindful Chef scores 74/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the UK — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), email, phone.
Subscribers cancel online via 'Your Preferences' > 'Amend subscription' > 'Cancel subscription' and receive a confirmation email; no minimum contract applies. The critical cut-off is midnight, 4 days before the scheduled delivery (e.g. Wednesday midnight for a Sunday delivery) — orders already past this window cannot be cancelled or refunded. Customers with fewer than 2 deliveries must contact customer care by phone or email rather than self-serve online. UK GDPR right to erasure is supported via phone or email request only.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
