First try with any of these Charlie…
First try with any of these Charlie Bigham’s products (Chicken Tikka Masala). Very pleased with quality, taste and portion size. As good as any Indian restaurant. Will now explore further dishes.

Fab food!
We've been eating Charlie Binghams chicken in a white wine sauce and the fish pie, for ages. Both are superb! Recently, we tried the Chicken and Ham Gratin - oh, it was fabulous! The sauce is out of this world! We are now going to try the Smoked Haddock Gratin. I'm sure that will be just as great! Well done, Charlie!

Exceptional
I’ve often seen the price of these meals & run a mile but decided to treat myself after reading rave reviews. The sceptical part of me expected the worst, as really how good can a ready made lasagne be? & surely they’re all the same? … but oh how wrong you can be!!! This was quite frankly, hands down not only the BEST lasagne I’ve ever eaten (ready & non ready) but was without a shadow of an Italian doubt the NICEST ready meal I’ve had in my 30 + years on this planet 🌎 The flavour is sensational, everything works in such harmony it’s like it’s been blessed by pasta angels. The sauce is creamy, yet not sickening & has the deepest cheddar flavour & if you let this crisp in the oven .. oh my cheesy goodness it’s epic. Every bite was a journey to flavour town, the lentil ragu had a delicate red wine background tang without being overpowering & the lentil ragu was filling, tomatoey & seasoned with herbs. The added veggies provided texture & a multitude of different Mediterranean tastes & whilst each one came through none were overpowering. The pasta was aldente, chewy with a slight give & thicker than most ready made lasagnes so it felt home made. Nothing about this meal said I’m from the supermarket … if you served this to guests no one would know you’d not made it yourself. I rarely enjoy anything from the supermarket this much, but this had me saying wow from the first bite. This was eccellente, magnifico & Stupefacente. A huge BIG UP for Bighams.

Great steak and ale pie
I had a Charlie Bingham's steak and ale pie for dinner. Came in its own ceramic dish. The pie crust was very light and flaky. Plenty of chunks of meat in gravy. It was very tasty. I will certainly buy more of these. Fabulous. Thanks Charlie!

Just had the chicken jalfrezi and I reckon that's the best curry ready meal I've ever had and which also resembles a meal or take away from an Asian restaurant. Better than M&S or Waitrose too who both try to give it a decent go.

For a couple in their nineties, good ready meals make life enjoyable
For a couple in their nineties, not sure their culinary skills are as good as they used to be, ready meals are a boon. There are a number of lines to choose from in the shops, but the ones we like best are Charlie Bigham's. Last night we had his chicken and mushroom risotto - it was wonderful - even better than his fish pie. Our regret is that our nearest supermarket stocks so few, but the journey to our nearest Waitrose - requiring a train and gthen a tram ride - is well-worthwhile.
