Charlie Bigham's Reviews 

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!

The level of quality is always superb whenever I buy my favourite dishes.

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.

Butter chicken & rice were lovely, (almost as good as my local Indian restaurant) I wonder if instead of rice it could come with a small naan, it would make a nice change

Really love the vegetarian lasagne. Very tasty. But vegetarian choice is very limited. This means I can't buy Brigham's meals very often. It's also a shame as eating more plant based meals is good for everyone's heath and good for the planet.

Have been trying to find Charlie's Steak & Ale pies in dishes for a very long time. My nearby Tesco Extra only ever seem to have items in the cardboard dishes.
I eventually found them in Waitrose but in another town, approximately 8 miles away. Mind you, the trip was worth it!

Great products, easy to cook and a super wide variety of choice

The meals are delicious, so easy and time saving. Also, great ingredients. Not like other ready meals

Well the ingredients that are used in all Charlie Bingham is of a very high standard: however I have noticed that the prices have gone up considerably and portion size have gone down : also I have tried some of the new lines not to impressed brought the new beef wellington £30 tried very nice but our local butcher makes one and is very good but £5 cheaper , I have always used your products a couple of times a week but now it’s a couple of times a month.

Very tasty. Crispy potatoes. Easy cooking for an 85 year old. And, I like the wooden trays. I'm using a couple for storage.

Bought the new dish, Prawn and Scallop risotto for the two of us. I have to say it was delicious. Lovely flavours. Whilst I agree the portion size is not huge, this is probably the size we should be eating rather than what we want. Yes it was £10.95 but we spend a lot more on a takeaway. Love the fish pie too. Only eat fish so can’t comment on the other dishes.

I've been obsessed with Charlie Binghams since discovering them for myself. I'm chronically unwell, mostly bedridden, live alone and depend on ready meals as I can no longer prep and cook a meal. I’ve tried so many ready meals but they are all the same, even the finest ones, very heavy, very mass manufactured and as a lady with a massive grissly mince phobia, very poor quality.
Charlie B’s have meant I can actually enjoy a ready meal! Not only enjoy it but LOVE every mouthful! No more mince phobia here!! I've never once had to fish out any grissle.
As someone else commented, yes they're a bit more expensive but… you really do get what you pay for and personally I'd prefer to pay more for something I'm actually going to enjoy.
On the cons side, as there is one, it's the packaging!! Pleeeeease sort it out 🙏🙏 I understand what you're trying to do with it but it really isn't practical at all! I don't have a cooker, I have a 12 in 1 Ninja Combi which I can bake in as you would a normal oven but because they are compact I can't get away from the element which means the wood sets on fire. I currently buy extra foil dishes which I have to decant in to (as I need the disposable element). Please please consider a change to foil dishes. 🙏🙏
As a side note aswell, I freeze my meals and cook from frozen every time with tin foil over until last 15mins. I obviously cook it for longer (approx 50mins) but they are just as scrummy! 👍👍👍👍
Thanks

I have been a fan of Charlie Bighams from the beginning. Being coeliac it is difficult to find glutenfree options. The quality of the curries is fantastic as is the flavour and I buy these all the time if I crave curry but there is little else in the range that is suitable.
