Kingston 5 plans you can cancel

- Corporate Lunch Experience / Catering
Booked by enquiry via the 'Book a Corporate Lunch Experience' form; no cancellation terms or deposit policy published. Cancel in writing to thekitchen@kingston5.com and keep the reply as your paper trail.
- Loyalty Points ("View points")
Free rewards account tied to the online-ordering login; no fee and nothing to cancel, though you can email to ask for account/data deletion.

What doesn’t work for cancelling Kingston 5
Based on 5 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.
- ✕ Looking for a 'cancel subscription' or billing settings page in your Kingston 5 account, The kingston5.com login only exists for online ordering and loyalty points, there is no plan, no renewal and no billing dashboard to cancel.
- ✕ Emailing thekitchen@kingston5.com to stop an order that's already in the kitchen, The site's own order flow states they confirm and start cooking immediately, and the kitchen is closed Monday and Tuesday, email is too slow to catch a live made-to-order ticket. Phone first, then email for the refund paper trail.
- ✕ Asking Kingston 5 directly to refund an Uber Eats / Postmates / DoorDash order, Those platforms take the payment and control the refund; the restaurant can confirm what happened but cannot return money it never received.
- ✕ Using the DoorDash 'Kingston5 - Jamaican Kitchen' listing to reach them, That storefront shows as not active on DoorDash and lists a different phone number to the current venue, so requests sent there can go nowhere.
Cancelled Kingston 5 but still being charged?
Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:
- The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Kingston 5, treat it as not cancelled. Email
thekitchen@kingston5.comreferencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since. - You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Kingston 5’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
- Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.
If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Kingston 5 charges again.
How Kingston 5 will try to keep you
Kingston 5 may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.
They’ll say: “Offering a remake, a free side or loyalty points instead of returning your money, the site runs a points scheme ('View points') that makes store credit the easy default.”
You say: Say plainly: "I'd like a refund to my original payment method, not credit or points. Please confirm the refund amount and the date it will be processed." Credit only helps them if you never come back.
They’ll say: “'It's made to order / we already started cooking' used to refuse cancellation, straight from their own three-step order flow.”
You say: Ask for the timestamp: "My cancellation was sent at [time], the order was placed at [time]. If preparation had already begun, please tell me the exact time it started." If the item was never collected or never made, there's nothing to charge for.
They’ll say: “Deflecting to the delivery app when the order was actually placed direct on kingston5.com.”
You say: Quote your receipt source: "This order was placed on kingston5.com and charged by Kingston 5, not by a delivery platform, please process the refund at your end."
They’ll say: “Silence between service days, the kitchen is closed Monday and Tuesday, so a weekend complaint can sit unanswered.”
You say: Set your own deadline: "Please confirm in writing by [date, 5 working days]. If I don't hear back I'll raise this as a disputed charge with my card issuer." Send it to thekitchen@kingston5.com and copy the phone line.
Your rights when cancelling
The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.

Delete your Kingston 5 account (not just cancel)
Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.

They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
