What our customers say

Best Cottage Pie on the market. Very yummy. Plenty of protein too. I add a side of green veg to make a perfect meal. Oh, the wooden box makes excellent kindling for my wood burner too. What's not to like?

Wonderful rich meaty gravy topped with just the right amount of mash. As I cannot have mushrooms in my food at all it’s a really nice change to find a ready prepared comfort food that I can eat. It tasted just like the ones my Mum and Nan made all it needed was a couple of spoons of green veg alongside it, and of course the obligatory sponge pudding and custard for afterwards.

Just tried one of your products for the first time - cottage pie amazing! Proper quality very tasty.

I had your Cottage Pie for the first time yesterday and thought it was wonderful - most own brand meals, the mince in cottage pie is so minimal, but yours is packed.

My husband loved your cottage pie tonight which is marvellous as he doesn't eat much and is very fussy!

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.
