Life, Fork and Spoon www.lifeforkspoon.co.uk

I love to cook and recognize good quality ingredients. I also love watching Saturday Kitchen so when I heard that James Martin had started Life Fork and Spoon a few years back I thought I'd give him a bit of moral support and order a few items. I have so far had Lasagne,Cottage pie,Steak pie, Buttered Chicken Balti, Lamb Shanks and Whisky and White Chocolate bread and Butter Pudding oh yes and the pate. ALL of it was delicious. No complaints whatsoever. My very first order was missing an item and I called immediately and was sent out three items to replace the one I was missing at no extra charge. Excellent food excellent service. My only gripe is that I can not afford to order on a regular basis and tend to order when there are offers on.

Served this with rice and followed the cooking instructions, boiling it in the bag. i also prepared chopped pineapple, banana and peanuts to go with it. it was a delightful meal, fragrant and tasty whilst not over spiced.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

the starter of broccoli & stilton soup was the only edible element of the whole meal, the terrine was fatty and not a joy to eat, the salmon in white wine sauce had a slimy nasty texture/mouth feel and the sauce was split, the main of beef bourguignon took it to another level of nastiness, an overbearing artificial heavily smoked taste... to the point of being inedible, if i was in a restaurant i would have left at this point and refused to pay.

on the upside the dogs were well fed, tesco do a much better ready meal at half the price, this isnt even asda smart price quality... i doubt james martin has even tasted this rubbish... i ended up making cheese on toast as 90% of the meal went in the bin.

If you're like me and have zero culinary skills placing an order with Life Fork and Spoon is the answer to hosting a dinner party. There is a wide range of dishes and I have always found something to suit everyone. I particularly love the traditional lasagne and the chocolate tart is simply divine. A total stress free and delicious way of dining, I'm can't wait to organise my next dinner party knowing it will be a night of amazing food and I will be very relaxed having not had to sweat it out in the kitchen. I cannot recommend Life Fork and Spoon highly enough, they have totally transformed my "at home" dining experience, so easy to order and all you have to do is warm it up, brilliant!

I was entertaining recently and didn't have time for my usual major preparations, I had heard of Life Fork Spoon and thought this was the time to give them a try.

I placed the order, which arrived promptly and wasn't in the slightest disappointed with the quality of food.

Good value for money and no worries about cheating, it tasted great.

As above, trying to contact anyone regarding the order seems an impossibility with this company - what happened to good old fashioned people? Food was mediocre, very poor quality in retrospect of the prices they charge.

Food was no better than any other 241 pub grub - all boil in the bag with a fancy name, but more expensive and you're left with the washing up. I will just stick to eating out in future.

I wonder how much James is actually involved in the development of these dishes...

While excellent flavour and overall high quality of the delivered meals was a given,the punctual achievement of delivery promises and standard of packaging was remarkable.Especially when the distance from kitchen to dining room under this system is just under 200 miles!Marvellous service.

I love everything about Life Fork and Spoon.....from the website with great pictures and simplicity in itself. I have done many orders and have always been delighted with the results. The orders arrive on time beautifully packaged and perfectly frozen. My favourite's are the pates....which I do pass off as home made , for party's I spread over crackers and top with red onion marmalade for a great canape. All of the main courses that we have tried have been delicious my children particularly love the curried chicken pies. Oh and the desserts are truly wonderful. I work full time and have 4 children , therefor filling my freezer with Life Fork and Spoon products makes life so much easier when I simply do not have time to cook but we all want to eat something delicious !

Have had the meals from Life,Fork and Spoon since the beginning,dinner box for 2,Valentines Day and individual ordering .

The food is great ,with a varied choice ,is easy to order on - line [ still preferred phone call ordering ],and have had prompt delivery every time .Usually a pre delivery e-mail that say on it's way,and substantial packing .

Food is easy to cook ,following instructions, tasty and moreish !

Just looking at web site makes me hungry ! Favourites have to be the pies, stuffed chicken and lamb shanks..Oh and the desserts of course

Just a shame family size meals don't come in smaller portions!!

The only criticism I have is the rose that came with Valentines Day box was dead on arrival ![stem was snapped !!]

Great ,easy to prepare meals wether at home or on holiday ..and no messy pans to wash either :-)

Absolutely delicious food which I shall certainly order again. At the end of a busy week, I don't really want to think about preparing food for a dinner party so Life Fork and Spoon come into their own for that purpose. An absolute must in our household!
