Charlie Bigham food anyone ??

[Dave7]

We have visitors this Friday and the proposal is to bring Charlie Bigham meals.
I had never heard of them but happy to give it a try.
Anyone tried them??

My parents says they’re very good, but expensive (see which supermarket has on special, still cheaper than eating out though obviously). They like the fish pie, mac and cheese with pancetta and the chilli. Quite rich and calorific, decent portion sizes, come in singles or for two.

I had the salmon en croute for my Christmas lunch and it was very tasty too (Better than others I’ve tried)

I’d say they’re consistently the best ready meals out there, get what you pay for. Are they bringing them or are you buying?

from what i have read they taste nicer than standard ready meals but this is because they are packed with extra salt and other goodies

Jolly good, who wants food that tastes of nothing especially as an occasional treat! Be healthier than a Dominos or Maccy D’s!

Indeed but Dave asked about CB to have with friends, a social gathering, a treat
The nutritional values for each meal will be on the website presumably if he wants to check

They stock them at our local Waitrose. Yes they good, but pricey.

so that's why they taste so darn good....might as well add all that stuff to my standard Tesco ready meal

They are bringing.

They are bringing.

Enjoy 👍🏻

Make a nice big salad or fresh veg to counteract the alleged “unhealthiness”

They used to do a Chicken Kiev that had a sundried tomato filling instead of the bog-standard garlic butter and that was incredibly delicious, but that got phased out unfortunately. Have had a couple of other meals from their range in the past and they are definitely better than normal ready meals, but you definitely do pay for that - I normally only bought them when they were on special offer.

I've had the cottage pie and shepherd's pie, both very nice, particularly the shepherd's pie and both better than any other ready made pies.

I prefer a gammon joint to a Bigham

Had their meat balls and pasta dish a few times. Tastes good.
