Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 334 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the exceptional quality of the food and the wide variety of delicious options available for purchase. Consumers note that the door-to-door representatives are consistently polite, helpful, and thoroughly knowledgeable about the various items. However, some people mentioned that certain products were quite expensive or considered overpriced for regular purchases. A few other people also felt that the bulk box sizes were much too large, which created storage challenges and excess food. Reviewers occasionally experienced issues with water content affecting the final texture of specific fish items after thawing.

Written by the company

Welcome to Dining Solutions Direct. Dining Solutions Direct (DSD Food Group) is a UK food delivery business headquartered in Wellington, Somerset, specialising in high-quality frozen food, sold with personal service direct to customers’ doors. We have built our reputation around friendly, knowledgeable service, consistent product quality, and making it easier for busy households to keep their freezer stocked with great-tasting food. We operate as a UK limited company and work through a growing network of local distributors who serve customers in person, building long-term relationships rather than relying on one-off online transactions. That personal approach is a big part of what makes DSD different. Many of our customers have been with us for years and value being able to deal with someone who knows their preferences and can recommend products that suit their household. Our range includes a broad selection of frozen fish, seafood, chicken, meat products, ready-to-cook meals and family freezer favourites, with popular lines often including products such as prawns, sea bass, chicken kievs, salmon and other easy midweek meal options. Customers regularly tell us they value the quality, convenience and reliability of our service, especially when life is busy, and they want good food available at home without the hassle of shopping around. What sets us apart is the combination of doorstep convenience and personal service. We are not just a faceless online retailer or supermarket freezer aisle. Our team takes time to explain the products, recommend suitable options, and help customers choose food that works for their family, freezer space and routine. We focus on quality products, repeat service and building trust over time. If you need support, product advice or help with an order, customers can contact DSD directly through our normal business contact channels. We aim to provide responsive, helpful service both at the point of sale and afterwards. At DSD, we believe good food and good service still matter. Our goal is simple: to deliver quality frozen food with a personal touch.

Written by the company

Dining Solutions Direct delivers restaurant-quality meat and fish straight to your door, at prices that make sense. We specialise in premium frozen produce, personally delivered by dedicated local distributors who get to know you and your preferences. No subscriptions, no gimmicks, just consistently great food, reliable service, and customers who order again and again because it’s worth it.

Top quality meat and fish!

We have been ordering from this company for the last few years. The meat and fish is top quality and Marius, who delivers everything to our door, is fab at recommending recipes and ways to cook the items. It’s always delicious! When we are running low, I just text Marius what we need, and he delivers promptly with a smile. Highly recommend this company.

Quality food

We have been buying quality frozen food from Marius since COVID times.
We have never been disappointed with any of our purchases and some of the prepared products really are of restaurant standard. He is very knowledgeable about the food he sells.

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for the lovely review.

Gary will be delighted to hear your comments. His enthusiasm for the food clearly comes across, although it sounds like he may be a little too good at his job if you always end up buying more than planned!

We had a very friendly knock at the door from Max. Showed us a few items on board and we purchased 3boxes. Can not wait to try them. The service from Max was superb, he was very friendly and not in anyway pushy for a sale. We will definitely be purchasing again. Thank you Vicky and Dave

We’re delighted to hear that Max made such a great first impression and that you found him friendly, helpful and never pushy. That’s exactly the kind of service we want our customers to receive.

We hope you really enjoy the three boxes you chose, and we look forward to looking after you again in the future.

Exceptional food!


We’ve been using Dining Solutions for over 10 years and Antony (1519) has been fantastic all throughout. The food is exceptional and although more than what you’d pay in a supermarket the quality always outweighs the price! Would highly recommend anyone looking to try!

I bought the corn fed chicken 2.2 kg for £60 pounds. I think it’s over rated and expensive. The hard chicken test much better than this one and cheaper.

Hi Karma, thanks for trying our corn fed chicken and for the honest feedback. Sorry to hear it didn't feel like good value at that price - taste and cost are both important to us, so we'd love to look into this further. Please get in touch with us directly so we can make it right for you.

Quality food and service.

It was down to Paul (5208) who came to our house and set his table up and showed us all of the products. He was so knowledgeable about the food but was also able to give us a short recipe for each of the items, brilliant. The food is top notch especially the Fishcakes and Steak and ale encroute.

Excellent natural flavour

Friendly staff, items seem well frozen. We tried the Bass fillets for tea, they defrosted gently, upon frying in olive oil and butter we really enjoyed them. There was a much better flavour than those from a fishmonger or supermarket, much closer in flavour to those I used to catch myself. We will definitely be purchasing from DSD in future.
One note, there is a heavy layer of ice on the fillets, this affects the value of the fish, we only had 9 fillets in the box.

Reply from Dining Solutions Direct

Thank you, Jerry, for such a detailed review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the bass fillets, especially your comments about the natural flavour. That’s exactly the quality we want our customers to experience.

We also really appreciate you mentioning the amount of ice glazing on the fillets. A degree of glazing is used to protect the fish during freezing and storage, but your feedback regarding the quantity and the number of fillets in the box is important to us and we’ll pass this on to our production team for review.

Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing DSD. We’re very pleased to hear you’ll be ordering from us again.

Best wishes,
The Dining Solutions Direct Team

Happy impulse purchase!

Tom Spence cold called on us a few days ago. My natural instinct in this situation is to send such people packing. However, Tom was very personable and the range of food all looked terrific so I happily made a large impulse purchase!

I just wasn't expecting frozen food to be this good ! We had the Rosemary and Garlic Lamb and they were just out of this world. Tommy was so attentive, and very enthusiastic about the DSD offering. Would highly recommend !
