Bighams The Best - Just eaten your Mexican Chilli and it was delicious. So tasty but not too spicy- just how we like it.

Delish food. We have had a couple of Charlie's dishes, only found them recently namely the Paella (twice) which were thoroughly enjoyable and we thought good value for money

Just eaten a Chicken & Mushroom Fresh Pastry Pie and it was just so tasty. Okay a bit pricey but at a different level to the lower price point pies. A really good balance of chicken, mushroom and brilliant sauce. The fresh pastry sets it apart too.

Beverley

Best moussaka outside of Greece! How refreshing to have a moussaka that is solid and not sloppy, like most supermarket varieties! Really authentic flavours ... simply love it!

Beverley

Edna

Love the little crispy potatoes on top of the spicy chicken. Why on earth bother to go out to eat!! We make each of Charlies meals a special occasion.

Mick

I am blown away. Truly restaurant quality. I really didn't think a ready meal could be so delicious. Perfection and you can tell they really take pride in what they do. Believe me, try one and you will see why! First class

These steak and ale pies are the business, for supermarket products they can't be faulted, we've tried other Charlie Bighams products thoroughly enjoyed them all.

CB’s are some of the best ready meals I’ve tried, often as good as home cooking… the macaroni cheese I’ve just had is actually better than my own!

Brian

Charlie's ready meals are the best I have ever eaten. The meatballs Al Forno are the best I have had outside of Florence and New York.

Really enjoy your fish pies, lots of chunky pieces of fish in a very tasty sauce

Sue

I’m always looking for ways to make everything we do even better, so if you have any ideas, I’d love to hear what you think.
