Dineindulge

Have worked for this company on two different years. 
Both times felt overwhelmed and that the management although experienced in hospitality aren’t aware of the over complicated menu and the fact the budget does not cover the ingredients cost. Typically one has to shop at more than one place, for me I had to use three. 
My most recent experience was atrocious. 
The menu was far too complicated and the results were underwhelming. 
I spent many, many hours prepping…so I earned around £2.50 an hour.
The methods required to arrive at the finished products are far too convoluted and something suited to working in a professional kitchen with professional kitchen equipment and in a team. 
The menus do not translate to a solo chef working in their own domestic kitchen and fall sort of being able to showcase one’s abilities & talent…
The concept is lacking greatly and I was under so much pressure that I ended up slicing the top of my finger off! 
I have worked in many establishments so I am a highly experienced chef sous and head.
I felt very unhappy with what I delivered considering how much time and effort went into the preparation. 
Highly unrecommended! 

I have worked in the hospitality industry for over 17 years since I left university and there has always been the worry about the skills I've leaned and passion I have for the industry would never translate over to anything other than working in restaurants or bars. In addition there was always the fear that when I finally left restaurant management I would have to start at the bottom of a career ladder. I was so pleasantly surprised when I started with the company that both of my concerns/fears were ungrounded. Dineindulge have embraced my background, ensured I had the appropriate time and training (so I was up to speed in my new role) and have encouraged me from day one to use my experience within restaurant management to help improve the business and develop the staff. I have (as mentioned in the title) joked with my friends that the company is "The hospitality unicorn' -  a 8-5 office based job with some weekends free, but with the vibe of working with hospitality professionals and knowing your knowledge and experience are being put to use. Take the leap and get your life back. 

Dineindulge is a great company to work for ! I have been hired to manage the International part of the business, hiring and managing chefs in Europe countries where the business operates. 
It is a fast-paced environment that requires being switched on and reactive but it's also very rewarding.
Even in very busy periods, the office atmosphere is quite relaxed and friendly and all the team members are easy to work with. Everyone is very supportive of each other, working towards the same goal so there is no competition between team members. We all thrive to deliver an outstanding service to our customers.

The directors are also incredibly supportive and helpful, keen on helping me going up the ladder and offering new opportunities for me to do so.
Also we get lovely treats, lunches, cooking lessons on a weekly basis and that's a massive plus !

I have now been working for Dineindulge (Meals) for 9 months and now that the work is picking up a lot more, I am really enjoying it! The pay is fair and the time that is allocated to the preps is very accurate. There is great flexibility with my time and they are very accomodating for my schedule. There is a great support system in place for chefs and this is very helpful when things sometimes don't go as planned (for whatever reason). On the whole, the dishes are fun to cook and I have found it a very good learning experience for myself and developing myself as a chef. The team are always extremely open to feedback about the food, communication and the overall day-to-day experience for chefs. I feel like a very valued member of the team. 

When you’re at an event, it can be a total pleasure to cook for somebody in their home. I completed just a few events through this company, during this time I realised just how disorganised a professional company can be. 100% of the time there was a fault with the event details and when I would inquire about it, they would amend it but not promptly and so I would be left feeling anxious about the event that I had to work. They also flood your emails every day and you’re supposed to check in three times before an event which gives me a headache. The hourly rate does not reflect the amount of work that you have to put into certain events. I also work for a similar company and have had no such issues so I would suggest steering away from dineindulge because you can do better.

I’ve worked in huge organisations where you are just a small cog without any recognition. Here you get heard! There is brilliant leadership in our managers and directors and everyone pulls together for a common goal. It’s such a lovely team and there is great unity. The fact that we are creating amazing memories for clients and great opportunities for chefs in a tricky hospitality industry is really rewarding and obviously I like sampling all the food! 
There is always something exciting round the corner and just really pleased to be part of it. Some days are challenging, but there is always someone to talk too. Loving the hybrid working as well, and we still manage to have a giggle even on days when it’s via a computer screen and not in the office. 


I felt compelled to write a review about Dineindulge today after reading what I feel is a complete fabrication of the working environment at Dineindulge. 

In 20 years of working I’ve never come across a better group of hard working, passionate and caring individuals as when I worked at Dineindulge. 

The energy and care in all areas of the business is self evident to see and as such the standard is set at management level as to the values that the team should work to. 

If you aren’t hard working, or don’t care about your job then you will stand out and this won’t be the company for you. But individuals who want to progress and who have strong values and a drive to be successful will flourish here. 

I’ve now worked for dine indulge well over a year, the company has gone from strength to strength, and is very well organised however the £20 per hr they promise is not realistic by the time you spent time purchasing ingredients, doing the prep, travel time and the time you spend at the clients place, I would say 90% of events are hen party’s, which can be fun but on some occasions you turn up and the kitchen is not in a fit state to work in on some occasions washing up not done from breakfast and lunch, the company should make sure they tell the clients that the kitchen should be clear! Overall good company but for the amount of work involved not worth it for a quality chef!

A really unique company to work for, bringing the skills required for event/hospitality management with the structure of a tech business.

Being part of a small team in the head office, allows you to make a real difference. If you are enthusiastic about the service and being part of the team, you can really make your job your own, making a stamp on the business. 

I’ve always found the relaxed office culture very enjoyable and refreshing. A mixture of socialising and bonding with the team and taking yourself away to focus on a task when needed. 

Being part of a company which is innovative with its product/services keeps the job exciting and allows for creative input in all roles.





Dineindulge is a great company to work for. I was recruited to develop a new arm to the business, and the directors at Dineindulge have been nothing but supportive in my ideas and strategies for doing so.  Although driven and sometimes fast-paced, the office has a great atmosphere and all of the staff are friendly and easy to work with. 
The company are always happy to help staff develop their related skills, and support opportunities to do so thoroughly. 
Working for Dineindulge has been a pleasure so far, and long may it continue.
