The chicken tikka masala is absolutely delicious. Quite different in flavour from the traditional Indian curries . You'll have to try one to see what I mean. The whole range of Charlie Bigham meals are fabulous and can't fault them.Worth the extra few pence each.
These are wonderful :-) The Cottage Pie is intensely tasty and I need a pie for 2 just for me cos I just can’t stop…..and scraping all the bits off the paper, Meg my spaniel adores the bits left over. It’s the only TV dinner type cottage pie (along with the shepherds pie) that’s up to the standard of a good homemade example that I know of……and definitely better than any pub or restaurant either. People serve up such s••t these days, charge you the earth for it and you easily could do better at home. I don’t love all Charlie’s stuff but these are top notch :-)
Charlie Binghams Fish Pie for two. This fish dish was a must for our Valentines meal. Hearty, comforting food made with ingredients that are quality. We could taste the love put into making a great dish..Booths supermarket is our fantastic supplier. Thanks Charlie.
Picked up a tika masla from Tesco stairfoot barnsley after visiting my elderly mother drove 2 hours back to the dales got home opened package an just 2rice was in
I found a nearly two inch long piece of plastic in my Charlie Bigham's fish pie, when half way through eating it, disgusting! I have emailed them photos. Having read other reviews, I am clearly not alone and judging from the company's replies I'm not expecting much of a response. Bye bye Charlie, hello M&S and Waitrose.
Wow! Simply delicious. Ate curry all over the world but these are better than most.
As a repeated buyer of Charlie Bighams ready meals I have tried many products available to offer. Portions: Meals for 1 are often not filling enough, meatballs and spaghetti meal for 1 was considerably undersized, needing at least 50% more. But the quality and taste is fantastic. Tikka masala meal for 2 is great as a meal for one and is good as if not better than a takeaway. Portions being questionable, the ceramic dish chicken mushroom pie is fine. Tuscan pork, green / red curry meals for 2 , again, better for one person as not enough to split between two. Product quality: Cannot be faulted. The wooden dishes should be kept flat but if you can follow this simple instruction then you'll be satisfied customer. Price: Justifies the quality of the food. Overall bighams has a very wide range of meals and is best on the market I'd say.
Delicious ::: very generous portions so sufficient for three helpings ! Lasagne also a firm favourite !
Only found out about this range in the last year,love the Tikka Massala and pilau rice with the lovely naan bread.No need to change as I find it perfect no need for takeaways now.Love that the tray is compostable but I also use them for growing seedlings in and can also be planted straight into garden.Most recently enjoyed on Valentines Day with a nice bottle of sparkling rose.
Great taste, Great texture, easy to prepare, a memorable meal.
Agree with another reviewer about the Lasagne. Has the recipe changed? Not tasty like it used to be and definitely contains garlic - too much, whether it contained it previously or not. Some people dont like garlic. I hope this isnt going to be a trend with all your meals now. Spoilt it for me.
Very authentic, always consistent. Never any nasty bits of meat and always enough for two. We don’t bother with a takeaway any more, Charlie Bigham’s range has plenty of choice. We can particularly recommend the red and Green Thai curries too.
We dont like too hot curries and found this very much to our liking and of course very convenient to cook and eat
Great products
Love the quality and flavours of these products. Always delicious just maybe a little on the small side for 2 adults otherwise cannot fault them.
Hello, Besides buying your Curries we also regularly buy your other meals, like Italian & English. We are very grateful to Charlie Bigham for providing such good meals at reasonable price's, especially at this period in our lives when food price's have become so expensive. Thank You all for your good service.
A friend recommended I try and so glad I did. The curries are so good and with all the side dishes available I would not hesitate to recommend on! 😀
Very tasty. Good pieces of chicken in it.
Excellent taste and quality , every time we purchase a Charlie Bigham's . Portion size is good and plenty of meat in the curries.

Mar 04,2025Purchased a fish pie for two. Very small portion per person. Heavy on the potato with small amount of fish. To make it more appealing I cooked more prawns to supplement. Would recommend Waitrose fish pie, more fish content and better flavour.
