Red Thai Curry had too much chilli for our liking, although good quality, which killed our apetite and resulted in food being thrown away. Also a pity that ready meals everywhere (although not this one) contain Cheddar - a cheap ingredient - which is not good for dairy intolerance. Sicilian Chicken is very good, but flavours over-strong.

The Charlie Bigham Sicilian Chicken is
A Wonderfully Delicious and Welcome
Dish.
It fully restored my elderly mother's appetite. She had not eaten properly for a week following the sudden death of her
youngest son. But this dish has truly helped
her to regain more of her taste buds.
And strength.
Thank You very much all at Charlie Bigham.
Really grateful for your super cuisine.

We regularly buy these pies they are fabulous.
Our favourites are the fish pie and the Kate and Sydney.
Always well filled with sizeable pieces

Tried Charlie Bighams new chicken parmigiana.
It was flavoursome, good quantity and as always excellent ingredient quality.

Next to nothing in the Charlie Bingham's range is gluten free. The 'next to' bit is your two Thai-style curries - tasty enough but so are several other brands that all do the job. I'd love to try your Fish Pie, Cottage Pie etcetera but can't because you haven't considered replacing the relatively small amounts of wheat in your recipes with glten-free alternatives.

Charlie Bigham produces several delicious “stand-bys” for one diner, shame you can’t freeze them but they are useful for a quick grab on the way home, that is if you can find them now that my local Tesco have reduced their offering to a single shelf in a chill cabinet. Waitrose stock the more exotic recipes but not in single servings.
Sometimes I wish the packaging might suggest what might be a good vegetable accompaniment to the meal or even which wine!

The fish pie - well I thought nothing could beat mine but , Charlie’s is on another level. Lots of chunky fish , not scrimping on the salmon, and a delicious creamy cheese sauce. Fantastic.

Love Charlie Bigham's meals the chicken jalfrezi is my favourite out of all of them . It's got the real flavours of a authentic curry dish . And the quantity just right for two people ,but have been known to have double when wife is away

I feel that the cost of meals slowly creeping up. Usually buy when "on offer' that said, I still enjoy Macaroni cheese, Cottage Pie, Lasagne, Thai Green curry and recently Shepherds Pie. Keep up the good work.

Enjoy the quality of the generous filling of the fish pie, the spicing of the chilly and the rich cheese flavour of the macaroni cheese.
Unfortunately your food sells very quickly and so I've tried fewer of your newer recipes

A hearty dish, very fragrant and aromatic with lots of moist chicken. It was a large portion: we couldn’t finish the potatoes but this made the dog very happy.

My latest meal was the king prawn and scallop risotto, which was excellent. I have to agree with some reviewers that for two it would have been rather disappointing, but it was a generous, if not overly large, meal for one. A real treat for a special occasion.

Charlie Bighams ready meals are the best, free of additives and really tasty, plenty to choose from and no plastic trays. Just tried the venison, it was hearty and delicious I never buy any other ready meals now. Hoping they might start an organic ready meal range …

What a lovely treat they are. We have a different one every week never had a problem with quality ingredients. Delicious.

We love the king prawn and scallop risotto, it's absolutely delicious and it's frequently on my food order. However, two littles niggles: the juices leak out of the wooden tray very easily (due to the paper tray and gaps in the wood), which makes the foil wrap messy and difficult to unfold. Also, the foil could be a bit bigger and tears quite easily.

On a very busy day when time is short and energy low. What shall we have for lunch? There it is looking at me from the shelf - Lasagne. YES. Satisfying and I feel human again. Thank you Charlie.

We have really enjoyed all the Charlie Bigham meals we have tried. Most recently we loved the Thai Green Chicken. Being an habitual ingredient checker I was pleased to note that we had almost all the ingredients in our kitchen cupboards.

Always great and reliably tasty. We've never had a bad meal when choosing anything from the Charlie Bigham range. Confess that the fish pie is an an absolute favourite though!

Reply from Charlie Bigham's
The level of quality is always superb whenever I buy my favourite dishes.

Reply from Charlie Bigham's
Great food of very high quality. However, very disappointed that we can no longer find the lovely Vegetable Tikka Masala in stock anywhere and nor is it shown on the website - has this dish been discontinued or is it a temporary shortage.
