Very sloppy and sickly. I have had these before. Seem to be getting worse. The wood they are cooked in stinks !! The pie is very sloppy.
Best for me as I am 79 live alone now. My husband passed away from Parkinsons, as my daughter and friends shop for me, ALL Charlie Bigham's products are the very very best portion wise also. Thank you be safe and well. Jennifer Dunnet
We have just eaten the fish pie, just delicious. The taste and quality, 10 /10.
Last night I had my first ever Charlie Bighams Chicken Tikka Masala and Rice. I can honestly say that this was the best curry I have ever tasted. Wonderful wonderful flavours and textures. Highly recommend
Your fish pie use to be the best on the market. Very disappointed with our experience today we use to love the numerous prawns, white fish and sauce, it appears no more prawns, hardly any white fish just cheap salmon and lots of potatoes. Sadly will have to look elsewhere for our Fish Pie experience from now on. Why have you changed a winning formula.
Our grocery shop isn't complete with out a Charlie Bigham's lasagne or macaroni cheese. Honestly I count make it better myself (and I consider myself to be a good cook). Not only that every time we buy the quality is consistent and always superior. A must buy!
Charlie Bigham’s Fish Pie. Excellent quality and taste, definitely a cut above the rest. Big chunks of fresh fish. Tasted even better than my own, as the parsley sauce was so good. The packaging is a cut above the rest too. Contained in a paper inside a wooden dish, covered in ordinary cling film then a sleeve of cardboard. So it’s easy to remove the cling film, and the rest is all recyclable. You can put the wooden dish in the oven, as long as you put it in the centre as it says in their instructions. So no dirty pans.
I would like to say the chicken tikka masala and pilau rice was the best we ever had ,will be having more of his food,very good quality.
Had another of your Paellas today. I normally enjoy them, but there was a surfeit of chilli in this one. Spoilt the dish as we couldn't taste the main ingredients. Why don't you make a 'chilli-free' paella or a 'reduced chilli' paella?
Our kitchen is ripped out. Luckily , oven is last man standing . We never have ready meals - I love cooking . Tonight we had CB Lasagne . Fabulous . Not like a ready meal. I'm a convert .
Bought some Steak and Ale pies recently from Waitrose. The packaging mentioned tender steak cooked in ale and served in a ceramic ramikin. Unfortunately what you get is a ramikin full of watery gravy hardly any meat and bulked up with carrots. This is even more annoying as on the packaging other than the small print ingredients list there amazingly is no mention of carrots. An absolute rip off. Don't know what the other Charlie Bighams products are like but based on this product I would steer well clear.
I thought I was just lucky with my purchase but after reading other reviews have decided that I wasn't. I brought Steak and Ale pie, presentation when out of the oven was amazing they really looked delicious. Unfortunately they were as bland as bland could be, absolutely no taste at all. Meat contact was good but it was like eating paper, perhaps I had a batch where no salt or seasoning was added. Has completely put me off buying another batch as basically they are not cheap to throw in the bin.
Smallish portion,very bland,very sloppy,expensive.
Cannot fault this food at all. We always have a starter so the meal for two is plenty for us. You cannot like every meal but most of them are superb. Beef stroganoff, spanish chicken and coq au vin outstanding.
Just had the ceramic chicken and ham pies.Too much salt but the pastry topping was excellent.
Absolutely love the lasagne, second only to home made! The serving for 2 is ample, served alongside a nice salad and crusty bread. Cottage pie also lovely.
Had the chilli con carne worst ready meal ive ever had awful second only to the terrible thai red curry very expensive pretenciouse rubbish do not buy this brand making alot of money for a very very poor product
Chicken Tikka Massalla for 2 is basically a side dish. 6 little chunks of chicken (about half the size of normal diced pieces of chicken) between 2 people isn't what I'd call a meal and accompanied by bland, tasteless rice. tried this brand as have had good experience with other dishes in the past. will not be wasting my money on this supposed premium brand again.
I adore your Lasagne! It’s helped me get through this lockdown. It’s tasty & flavoursome & I can’t wait to get my next treat. I get it delivered, divide it into 2 & so get two complete meals from it. It’s excellent value for money. Thank you!

Jan 29,2021I don't think they know what chicken curry is. Why don't they do halal one and let people who know try this. Make their recipy better. I'm sorry but this is not a chicken curry what's so ever. And for a price at local Sainsbury's £8.00 just disappointed... Sad times if this represents Asian cooking.
