Place is a joke, you come here early with the load, they make you wait until the booking time, when you come here on time, you are forced to wait until they tip others who are there before you no matter what's the booking time, poorly run establishment.
Guys delivering - beware. You can easily get ...

I had a problem with a dish, which i got in contact about, with out doubt this is the BEST customer service experience i have ever encountered. They really did go above and beyond to rectify the problem. I c...

Charlie Bigham's Tikka Masala is the finest I have tasted in 58 years of eating Indian food. GORGEOUS flavours!! But the crinkled paper inside packaging is dreadful. You cannot serve up from it because the paper moves around, and everything becomes a mess.
The redesigned outside sleeve is pretty.

Very disappointed with meatballs al forno. The meatballs were dry and the tomato sauce was glutinous. Considering the time spent in heating the oven and cooking the dish I might as well have cooked meatballs from Ikea or Costco from scratch.

Have to say I was a bit sceptical when my husband said "I've got tea sorted!" and saw the small boxed meals......I had meatballs al forno and my husband the thai curry. Wow! So easy and by far the best 'ready meal' we've had in a long time. So filling and very tasty indeed, would highly recommend an...

So, in the past few days i have tried the Beef Stroganoff, Cottage Pie and Meatballs Al Forno. The meatballs were alright but nothing to rave about. The Stroganoff and Cottage Pie however, were fantastic and will certainly eat again. Next to try... Fish Pie.

If you re eating a Charlie Bigham s cottage pie be sure to have a small side plate beside you to spit out all of the grizzly mince. This will save you a trip up to the bin 5-10 times during your meal. I ve eaten two cottage pies this week and the experience was the same for both.

In 20 years of m...

I had the fish pie. The packaging of this product was fancy, which was what helped me decide to buy this product, which for what it is is a bit on the expensive side. The fish pie had lots lovely big chunks of salmon in it and creamy mash on top, however the pie as a whole was extremely salty and th...

I would never buy these products at the extortionate retail prices charged, but got hold of the chili con carne because it was on sale at half price due to being near the use by date. A very drawn out process of faffing around with foil and having to bake the stuff in the oven for 25 minutes resulte...

Favourites are Chicken Jalfrezi, meat balls al forno, Fish pie, lasagne, chicken Tikka masala. However not so the Chicken Kievs we have just eaten. They lacked...

I am afraid Charlie Binghams has gone down hill. He sais he will never compromise on ingredients. However my fish pie is 95% potato 1% Cheese 1% breadcrumbs and about 1% Salmon. YOUR REPUTATION IS GOING DOWNHILL VERY FAST. Act now to salvage it or I am AFRAID NO ONE WILL TRUST YOU.....
