This dish tasted absolutely awful. It literally smelt of sick and tasted of sick. Totally disappointed. Not sure what they have done in this ingredients :(
Had the lasagne today.. it was all white sauce, very little pasta and hardly any mince, disappointing...... Tried the fish pie which was the best out of all the meals they provide.... But do find that cooking the meals in the wooden box does make the meals taste of the wood (like a burning wood taste) ... At the price they charge I would expect better quality ..
Just had to say how much I enjoy your Fish pie, Cottage pie, Shepherds pie and Lasagne meals (the smaller ones). My favourite is the Fish pie which is delicious and it has no prawns! I always struggled to get a fish pie that doesn't contain prawns so please don't ever change this recipe and add prawns. They are not a fish anyway! Thank you Charlie Bighams!!
Amazing food packages are great and the taste is amazing I’ve tried most of the range my favourite is the fish pie and spaghetti carbonara 5 stars from me Charlie
This has got to be one of the very best ready meals i have come across. Wonderful restaurant quality meal.
Fish pie last night much more potato mash and sauce than before, less fish disappointed. I have always enjoyed it, but now with the big price increase I will not be purchasing again.
Tried Charlie Binghams Chicken Tikka Masala, best tikka outside of an Indian restaurant. Loved it , will be trying some other delights from the range .
Nobody is perfect and food prefences are subjective; but, I have never had a bad experience with Bighams,only good. All meals are excellent, especially the curries.
Tried the Charlie Bighams Chicken Satay Curry and Fragrant Rice, best ready meal Ive ever had worth every penny. The delicious nice bits on top really make it, but the flavours, chicken everything make it worth searching for. Must get out of Aldi more often to try these things!
A long way ahead of any other prepared meals and worth every penny. I particularly liked the chicken tandoori and the meatballs al forno, but everything I've eaten has been excellent. When eating out has become so expensive, this is a wonderful alternative.
First class restaurant quality at home ! Recommend with a second thought
Very dry curry
The fish pie was to die for large pieces of fish not ( a mash) ,nice flavoured sauce and crispy topping . Got our monies worth. Thank you John.
Excellent value given the quality of the ingredients. Very much like having a chef in the kitchen!!
I had a pretty poor experience with a foreign object in my lasagne a few months ago (unfortunately discovered after already eating half). They gave me useless vouchers with a very short expiry which I returned back to them. I thought I would check out to see if things have improved, but it looks like I'm not the only one having bad experiences. Its a shame, they use to be the best.
Chicken & Mushroom risotto. Awful, stodgy, very unappetizing to look out when cooked. Went in the bin, sadly. Other dishes much better.
Looking for a decent vegetarian ready meal we tried Bigham's Vegetarian Cottage Pie which was awful. Very small for 2 people, too much wine, couldn't find any veg except black beans and overall terrible consistency, so sloppy it was difficult to serve and looked awful on the plate. Very poor value for £9.50
I had the cottage pie yesterday and it was amazing! Beautiful tasty lean beef mince with soft fluffy mash. Definitely recommend!
Bought a single portion shepherd pie which was awful. The pie looked nothing like the photo on the package. The potato was dry clumps and the lamb was nonexistent. It wasn’t worth £6. I couldnt find an email or telephone number on their website to contact Bigham’s and I guess this says it all - when you get so many complaints that you can’t cope them remove your contact details and don’t reply. I messaged them via messenger and to date to response.

Nov 07,2023I have enjoyed a number of CB's meals, much tastier than similar meals available elsewhere; and I am really hoping that Cassoulet and Fabado join CB's stable of dishes.
