Recommended to Charlie Bighams
I was recommended to Charlie Bigham's by a work colleague who stated that the Butter Chicken and the Chicken Tikka Masala were as good if not better than that you could eat in an Asian restaurant. I was pretty sceptical after trying a few shop bought curries over the years, most of which tasted nothing like you'd eat in a restaurant. I have to say though, that both dishes were absolutely delicious and truly authentic, and that I would most happily recommend them to others.

A culinary dream!!
Dear Mr. Bigham, I have wanted to contact for a while however my time has been taken up eating!! Your dishes are our go to foods, our ease of effort foods, our favourite foods, the best quality foods but above all, comfort foods!! When the day has been a tad to exhausting, your Breton chicken is there to reassure me that there is a little corner of the world that has the ability to comfort, to nurture and to reassure; a culinary duvet in the nursery room of adulthood that coddles the feeling of safety back into the day. My son feels the same about your macaroni cheese, my wife would be distraught should your fish pie ever be removed from your menu and my teenage daughter has the kind of relationship with your chicken and pesto fusilli that I can only dream of!! To be honest, we all have our favourites although I must admit that, not being a huge fan of curry, your Indian range is not a common occurrence, however if I am away for work, the rest of the family risk life and limb rushing out to secure a better than takeaway option!! Your portions are actually generous, please don’t ever cut the sizes; a serving for two actually feeds two and, with some choices, even gives to option for seconds and you have achieved the staple comfort food that I remember from childhood, something only my mother and grandmother could do up until now!! Unfortunately one of your competitors, much more expensive and much less generous, made the mistake of reducing the main ingredient and increasing the sauce; they have not been on our table since. Should you ever are looking for inspiration for a new range, Chinese would be my favoured choice. I am sure that you and your team could work your magic, become a savoury Willy Wonka!! Anyway, I have gone on too long but I just wanted to ask you to keep up the great work and, more importantly, thank you for bringing integrity back to portion sizing, taste back to the table and for making convenience without plastic!! You are to be applauded. All the very best.

I do occasionally buy a Charlie Bigham's
I do occasionally buy a Charlie Bigham's meal which I find are quite tasty. The meals that are priced at £9.50 state for two sharing. I would suggest that the portions are to small for two sharing. I am not sure if anyone else has noticed but to me the £9.50 meals seem to have reduced in size.

Spanish Chicken & Roasted Potatoes:
Spanish Chicken & Roasted Potatoes: This should be a savoury dish, and yet, it’s incredibly sweet which is a shame, because with a couple of tweaks it could be enjoyable. My Spanish friends would be horrified if I served them this.

Not for me, expensive and in my opinion tasteless.
Recently purchased a shepherd's pie from this range. It is a product I would not buy again, the mash was hard and lumpy with an odd taste. For the £9.50 price tag it was not value for money. I had tastier shepherd's pie during my school days. Sorry but not for me.

Taste is good but requires 25 minutes in an oven for Indian and Thai curries. If I have 25 minutes, I would have made my own meals with fresh ingredients. I just reheat it in the microwave for 5 minutes. In short, taste is good but not good enough to demand the price they ask. Got them from Morrison. Cheaper alternatives were in the shelf below and tasted just as good.

My husband and I have just had the chicken tikka masala, and we must say it's the best we've ever had , even better than if we had it from an Indian reastuant . The fish pie is excellent to can't wait to try the other meals .
