I am severely allergic to eggs, nuts and dairy and often react to food that claims to be “free from”. However I’ve never reacted to Kirsty’s food, not even slightly, and have been eating it for years.... See more

Better than a takeaway
I enjoy a Chinese takeaway but it is difficult to find a gluten free option so I was keen to try this. I have to say that it was absolutely delicious with good pieces of chicken and perfect rice. It is high in protein and has plenty of vegetables.
Delicious!
Have tried a few different options from this range and all delicious, the vegetable lasagna is incredible, I stockpiled on my next shop! So nice to actually have something I enjoy that’s tasty, ‘normal’, super easy and convenient. All round amazing meals.
Its great to find help a source of food…
Its great to find help a source of food to help with my dietary requirements. I highly recommend.
KIRSTY'S Free From....Nice food!
Just tried a Kirsty's takeaway sweet and sour chicken. A genuinely horrible experience. Hunt the chicken, gloopy so-called sauce with slimy rice featuring specks of unidentifiable vegetable matter. Disgusting, absolutely vile. Also in weird and unpeelable packaging. Why are SAINSBURY'S peddling this horrible muck, for pity's sake?
Sweet and Sour Chicken contains no chicken.
Sweet and Sour Chicken didn't contain a single piece of chicken. Kirsty's said they were 'sorry for any inconvenience'. Sorry that you paid for a meal that we short changed you on would be more appropriate. 'Please send photos'. I might have eaten all the chicken, had there been any, so that's a stupid request. This looks like ingredients cost cutting to the extreme to me.
More chicken please
Lack of chicken in both the Tikka masala and the sweet and sour chicken, very disappointed cos it was tasty enough
I wouldn't waste ur money prefefer dog…

Mac & Cheeze
Just tried their Mac & Cheeze. Absolutely disgusting - went straight in the bin. Smelt awful and tasted even worse.
Great lunch pots - keep coming back!
Thank you for coming up with the MyProtein lunch pots, I have been having about 3-4 a week for the best part of 6 months now and they are perfect, calorie controlled, high protein, filling lunches, and they have revolutionised my diet. Keep up the good work, hope to see this product range grow, and thank you!
Amazing & Fantabulous! Thank you x
Message Hi Kirsty, I want to praise you, and your team, so very much. I’ve only just found your lovely meals! So far I’ve had pasta bolognese, lentil cottage pie and ginger and spring onion chicken. All just amazing and fantabulous!! I can’t believe how tasty they are and even better - how great I feel after eating them! I’m 65, gluten free for nearly two years. I would love to try and get my little four year old grandson to try them. He seems to be a natural vegetarian, quite a ‘selective’ eater! 😅😇 Anyway, my hat’s off to you and your team and your little boy too! Such a lovely story. Well done Kirsty and my heartfelt thanks, Steph xx
Kirsty’s Ready Meals
A brand I had never seen in supermarkets until now.
I personally am not a lover of ready meals, having cooked nearly all my life, but having read the list of ingredients I thought I would try one.
I was very impressed with the taste and the amount food.
exceptioñal quality
I recently purchased a Kirsty sweet and sour and to be honest was shocked at the amount of chicken and the quality of the meal, the rice having the addition of vegetables, the taste was delicious and will definatly be buying again
The food absolutely delicious 😋 decent…
The food absolutely delicious 😋 decent price highly recommended

Have now tried more of the Kirsty's range , I honestly loved them . Even better , I had vouchers from the company for discount . They said they'd send some and true to their word , they did . I shall buy more in future . Companies like this deserve my business . Thankyou Kirsty's 🙏
Kirsty’s gluten free chicken ginger & spring onion
Kirsty’s gluten free chicken, ginger and spring onion is absolutely disgusting. Tastes like chemicals. Really disappointing as this was one of my favourite Chinese takeaway meals and I thought this would make up for never being able to order it but omg this is bad.
Bland expensive gloopy texture - vile
There were 3 only pieces of chicken. The meal was a very unappetising gloopy mess and it had no taste. I don’t know what has happened to her recipe in this meal. Only the price forced me to finish it rather than waste it.
Disappointing mild sriracha chicken
Bought a Mild Sriracha chicken ready meal . Looked like a healthy option.
It probably was. But I wouldn't want to live longer if that's all there was to eat.
Gloopy rice and lots of chicken in a watery sort of sauce. I am a single pensioner and occasionally buy ready meals if they look interesting. This is by far the most disappointing.
Honest review
I can’t recommend this brand enough!! It’s absolutely soul destroying trying to find enjoyable foods with the allergies I suffer from gluten, it can be so painful. Kirsty’s has honestly saved me. I am so grateful for their foods I have tried a selection and they are honestly just stunning. I am glad I am able to enjoy food again with great flavours. You can tell they put a lot of love into this brand by how it tastes. You would never know it’s not gluten based. Thank you for helping me enjoy good food again. Would recommend 10/10.
Terrible ready meal
Terrible ready meal - barely any chicken in the ‘chicken with ginger & spring onion’. Tasteless too and the rice, barely cooked.
