I can make a better fish pie than a Charlie Bingham £8 fish pie made 'in my own kitchen' . More pie than fish and no sauce. Same for the Shepherds Pie.

The Paella was delicious. Serves 2 big appetites. We actually got 3 servings out of it (but had, had a big lunch earlier).
The paella has a real depth of flavour. I've bought supermarket own brands before but this was better. Will definitely buy again.

I chose Chicken Tikka Massala for 2.
It was my first and last time.
Those little wooden boxes work out very expensive because they are practically empty.
Thin watery sauce over 5 or 6 tiny pieces of chicken the size of the top of my thumb and a box of rice.
Chicken Tikka Massala for 2?
Ha ha. 2 mice perhaps

Fish Pie. Overpriced, lack of fish, no prawns whatever is that all about? Not a proper fish pie and not enough for 2 people. So Wish I hadn’t wasted my money and cooked myself or bought a supermarket own brand which probably would have been better. So disappointed

love the above dish and regularly buy it as a treat -imagine my disappointment when i opened package to find two trays of rice and no tikka masala -wondered whether the package had been tampered with but there was no evidence of this -seems to be a supply issue from the factory

Charlie you have come up trumps , I have wanted to go out for a green Thai curry for a long but think eating out now is so expensive. I had your GTC tonight and can honestly say it was better or just as good as a Thai restaurant curry . Absolutely delicious 😋

Bought a very expensive salmon paremitier with which I was really looking forward to, I have purchased many of Charlie Bighams meals and they have all been perfect over the years, this was CRAP on on a plate and just a plate of salt, vile and a waste of money, I need to drink at least 3 pints of water to survive 😳 don’t waste your money

I have to say, I love Charlie Bighams ready meals. They are priced higher than your average ready meal, however worth every penny. Delicious……my favourite is the Cottage Pie.

Well done Charlie !!!

I will always be a loyal customer I love Charlie Bighams meals

I'm not usually one to write a review about something like a ready made meal but these impressed me so much that I just had to. Without a word of a lie, these are the most delicious ready made meals I've ever had. For not even £10 they're seriously better than some restaurants I've been to. Full of flavour, good portions and such good variety. Thank you Charlie you've changed my Sunday nights forever!

We just tried the new Charlie Bigham’s Brasserie Beef Wellington. Crispy pastry on the bottom and top. Tender beef with a delicious filling! Excellent!

Harry Bingham’s delivers food that truly stands out. The taste is second to none — every bite is balanced, full-flavoured and thoughtfully seasoned, with clear attention to the small details that lift a meal from good to exceptional.
Beyond flavour, the quality is what all food should be judged by: top-grade ingredients, consistent preparation, and honest cooking that respects provenance and technique. Whether it’s a simple dish or something more elaborate, the care shows in texture, presentation and that enduring sense of good value.
If you want reliable, memorable food that tastes as good as it looks, Harry Bingham’s is a go-to. Highly recommended.

I have tried most of the range only when they are reduced which I have to say is quite often, not a good sign.
Very underwhelming, had the chicken ham and leek pie, very sloppy filling and what do you do with the ceramic dish??!
Far better a foil one that an be recycled.

Best meal and great for busy family’s.

There are currently a few supermarkets offering Paella. Personally, this one sits at the top of the heap for me.
I cook my own Paella as well, but if time is a factor this is my favourite.
What sets it apart is the amount of oil from the Chorizo, coupled with the Lobster sauce which infuses into the rice that gives it an amazing base for the whole dish, as well as really big prawns. Will always be my first choice.

The Charlie Bighams range of meals are simply the best!
The quality,fillings and taste wipe the floor with other supermarket top brands without a doubt.
Yes a little more expensive but great offers on them regularly.
I order my mother's weekly shop on Ocado and she loves the CB for one meals.
Keep up the amazing work guys and gals.
You're top of the shop by far!

Dear Charlie Bigham team,
I just wanted to drop a quick message to say how much I enjoyed your Chicken Jalfrezi & Rice—it was absolutely fantastic! I’ve worked my way through nearly all your ready meals, which I pick up regularly from my local Waitrose, and each one has been delicious.
But last night’s curry really stood out—flavoursome, perfectly spiced, and just the right balance of comfort and kick. It honestly tasted like something from a great restaurant.
Thanks for consistently producing such high-quality, satisfying meals. Keep up the amazing work!

We know that Charlie's preparation is always meticulous and delicious and a time-saving oven ready.
Dateless satisfaction.

I bought chicken and ham en croute . Expensive but I thought it would be worth it , however there was not one piece of ham I any of them shame cause the rest of it was good , but definitely not what it says on the packet for the money .
Maybe change your wording
