I bought Charlie Bingham's Cauliflower and Paneer Curry for my husband and I last Saturday. I think this one must be a new range as I hadn't seen it before. It comes with a chickpea and spinach dhal. It was really delicious and definitely a favourite one for us now!
A revelation! Had a chicken jalfrezi. A chilled package cooked in oven. One no! The best off the shelf takeaway. Succulent, fresh! Juicy, proper jalfrezi heat.
Treated myself to a steak and ale pie from Waitrose . The pastry and gravy were delicious but the steak was mostly fat and gristle. So disappointing. Should have gone for Pieminster
Worst pie I've had. The steak and ale pie is over priced, poor meat content. Probably paying for the ceramic container.
Vegetable lasagne is better than home made. I bought for a quick, hassle free dinner. Now completely sold. I’ll try other vegetarian recipes. Wonderful.
Just love the fish pie (am going to try the other meals) Might be pricey, but well worth it, tastes homemade
Steak and ale pie should be renamed pastry and carrot gravy pie. These used to be good. They are now simply terrible. One had no meat in it all and the other had 3 small pieces of gristly meat. Avoid at all costs. The pastry is quite good ( as long as you brush it with egg) but £9.50 for 2 pottery dishes filled with undefined gravy is an unmitigated disaster.
Disappointed today with fish pie. Not sure what has happened but stringy spinach and more than one huge fish bone, my hubs was not a happy bunny. Given the price and recent increases - I expect much better and for them not to be cutting corners!
I love Charlie Bigham until today. I tried an old favourite. Bread and butter pudding. It was like eating a bowl full of sugar. Disgusting. It's out me off his meals altogether now.
Marvellous food! Tastes home cooked. I’ve tried a lot of different meals and haven’t been disappointed with any of them. I was worried that mash or rice would be dry from being in oven, but no way, perfect every time! Lovely quality, tasty meals.
Love the fish pie and the smoked haddock gratin but so expensive this week after yet another price hike.
The Paela is simply one of the most delicious meals we have eaten at home and possibly going out!
Excellent. I was sceptical at first until I managed to find a fish pie at a reduced pie. Wow, really delicious with large pieces of fresh fish, tasty sauce and nice topping. I’ve since tried the meatballs (paid full price) and I understand the price. The ingredients, taste and quality are on another level to any other ready meal i have tried. It’s nice to be surprised :)
Fish pie is just super. Not worth going to the trouble of making fish pie at home when you can buy one as tasty as Charlie Bighams. It many be at the higher end of a price range, but it is worth every penny.
Absolutely delicious chicken and mushroom risotto ! Why bother going to all the trouble and, quite frankly, faff of making your own when you can buy this. Superb!
Hi You are our go to ready meals when going away in our motorhome as they are not only the best but so convenient. Our particular favorite is your Paella washed down with a glass of Rioja. We have also enjoyed your pies and to prove it we have accumulated at least 40 ceramic dishes. Certainly recommend Charlie Bingham ready meals.
Lovely meal, restaurant quality, at last something that doesn't taste synthetic . Will definitely try other meals, a little pricey, but worth it

I am not a lover of ready meals but do buy steak pies . Bought Charlie Bigham’s steak and ale pie , it was delicious . Tender pieces of beef in a very tasty sauce with onions , pastry was spot on . Have since tried the fish pie , and once again delicious . Large pieces of fish in a very tasty sauce with a great topping . Love the packaging too . More expensive than other ready meals but worth it . You definitely get what you pay for .

Mar 17,2023Great ready meals. I tend to get them as a treat as a bit pricy for me but well worth it for the quality, care and deliciousness! I would highly recommend the lasagne and the pies...one of the best I've ever had!
