Looks ok to be fair,makes me sad that some ppl are alone and have to eat these meals..a lot of ppl will be unwell or alone this Christmas,let’s hope everyone has enough to eat and are safe and well.❤
I love Christmas on my own, just me and the cat,but I feel for people who are alone and don't want to be on their own. Especially old people who lost somebody.
At 60 I'm not really bothered, 60 Xmas dinners is quite enough. That said ,ive never ctually been on my own and last year was a cracker with 15 family members. Not everyone is into xmas.
The pack says it is 400cal which is 20% of your 2000 cal daily intake. It is no wonder it is so small. As you get older your metbolism slows down and you don't need a whole lot of food, so for some this wwould be adequate with a pudding, e.g. Rice Pudding (1 tin = 300 cal). Most people eat too much all the time, what with a sedentary life style most people just add to their fat levels. As a meal it doesn';t look bad. Your review of the Asda JE Roast Beef (£1) with some JE frozen veggies (85p = 1Kg), roasties (75p = 750g) JE frozen yorkshire pud (50p) would serve just as well. If you bought 3 of the beef slices you spend £5 and have 3 meals. Great review Gary, keep them coming. BTW picked up some of the Home Bargains Rump Steaks today, Hope fully them will be as tasty as you say.
hi Gaz, great video,, they are a bit stingy with the potatoes, i could eat 2 of them, i can tell you back in the early 60s Birds Eye use to do superb meals for one, especially the roast beef dinner for one with lovely mashed potatoe, and peas in a foil tray,sadly its all gone now,
I do love the way you show the nutritional values as a diabetic I like to see the carbohydrate contents and sugar for insulin dosage etc really appreciated thank you.your reviews are awesome you've swayed me to buy things I usually wouldn't and never regretted any of em thanks again take care buddy see you on the next 1😊❤
I too am restricted diet as such, blocked arteries, dodgy kidneys now bladder cancer, so I am the same have to check the fats, the salt, some of the vitamins. Although I do cheat a little now and then. You have to enjoy something or may as well call it a day. And yes watching here is a good way of spotting a few little extras to add and he presents pretty good too :).
definitely. you can check the nutrition info at your leisure here for something you might buy vs at the supermarket where you might be in a hurry or in somebody's way or you forgot your readers or don't want to look odd scrutinising everything etc. it is a good thing. 🙂@@PaoloBanke
These meals are particularly perfect for our senior citizens , A hot meal you can cook on these winter days in the microwave in a few minutes with no fuss , All the best Adrian , ps Gareth can we please have some Christmas lights in the kitchen if the budget allows it...
@@marcse7ensounds like as you’ve got older you’ve also got a chip on the shoulder. He never said you can’t prepare something - he said it’s handy for those that can’t or don’t. Oh and I’m middle aged and think they are fine. Stop looking down at them.
good shout. they probably have. it's the half-as-big-again box for twice the price. if you're lucky, maybe a pig-in-blanket *and* an extra stuffing ball! 😛
For Christmas this year, I found ready cooked and roasted sliced chicken to have with Sainsbury's taste the difference maris piper roast potatoes, honey roasted parsnips, frozen sprouts and frozen Yorkshire's. Easier than cooking all from scratch but hopefully better than a microwave ready meal. Wishing you and your family a very fabulous Christmas and New year!
I used to go a pub for a pre footy match lunch and they used to do boil in the bag beef in gravy between two slices of bread and butter, and a side of chips. Used to be bloody lovely with the bread and chips soaked in the gravy. All washed down with a few pints. Haven't had that for 25 years now!
I lived in Canada when I went to uni in the mid 70s; this looks like the frozen Swanson "roast beef dinner" back then. The meat's so thin it can't help but be tender. I ate them because I was on a student budget...of course, they were 99 cents, back then, and 79 cents on sale.
@@PaoloBanke Yes, Paolo, the best personality of any dog, in my experience. She's my sixth, and probably my last, because they are too strong and exuberant for me now I'm pushing seventy.
Yeah, when i have bought the version of these they sell in lidl when they are 60% off i always add some extra frozen roast potatoes or some of my homemade potato wedges. My homemade potato wedges you make in your air fryer take 40 mins taste better than roast potatoes and have only 2 ingredients, Raw potatoes and left over animal fat.
I do a diy version of this with budget frozen yorkshires, mash or roasts, peas and gravy. Serves two for under a fiver. Easier than trying to get a small roast to cook properly.
That beef looks like the stuff my mother would feed us through our impoverished childhood. A tray of beef and gravy. I used to hate Roast Dinners, still do for the most part.
Looks tasty but I think I would have got their frozen meals at 4 for £6. I have had the frozen Hot Pot, Shepherds pie and the Cottage pie in them. They are not too bad for the price.
Hi Gareth .when you took off the outer packaging ,it looked like one of the meals you used to get on a British Airways flight back im the 1980s.lol.Keep up the spot on work .Best wishes from Scotland .
Good review Gareth some of these meals are good, some yuk. Always good to have these meals in the freezer in case you get snowed in or feeling unwell. Or return home from work too tired to cook. Impossible for families as way too dear. But for one it’s ok. I’m now a “senior citizen” and spend way more time preparing food than I used to when younger so I think it depends on circumstances rather than age.
I've always done these in the microwave. I just cook the roast potatoes and the Yorkshire pudding in the oven. Then put the rest of it in the microwave for 3 minutes.
@@nicolavallely8076 only joking Nicola I'm like you i can cook sometimes it's just convenience with me and most microwave meals leave me cold all the best

It looks like the portion is about right for a meal. However, it was said in a TV programme some time ago that dinner plates not that long ago were smaller. That would make the meal look more like a large plateful. Perhaps we've all got used to eating too much and that is causing a lot of problems these days.
30 years ago I used to get the bird's eye 'menu masters' version of this, from the garage near where I was working. One was fine for desk-work, but I needed two If I was doing any physical stuff. Good review, I'll give it a try!
Have you ever considered doing a complete frozen Sunday Roast special? You could buy all the parts of the meal, a frozen pre prepared joint, some frozen roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and frozen veg and any other trimmings. I'm sure you could work out how much it would cost roughly per potion, or how much it would be to feed a family of four. Would interesting to see if it cost less then the roast dinner for one.
When i lived on my own, and i didnt have much money I used to love a roast. So what i did was i used to do is buy a bernard mathews roast, roast a load of potatos , and eat 1 portion of it for my sunday dinner. Then cut up the the roast, wrap each slice in foil, and freeze them and the roast potatos. Then susquent sundays i would pop a fews slices of the roast, and the potatoes in the oven, and microwave a carot to go with them and make some gravy. It saved alot of time, didnt cost very much and meant i could have a proper roast on a sunday. sometimes i even bought those frozen but raw yorkshire puddings! They cook from strach rather than reheat. More recently ( as i do like my roasts) i will freeze cut up roast meat, (or meat loaf) and when i fancy a roast use that, some ready made frozen roast potatoes and microwave some frozen veg to go with it. Ideal for a roast dinner for 1 mid week.
We tried the M&S Christmas dinner version last week after your review. Fantastic! Another wonderful video sir - thanks for producing consistently good stuff 👍
Again why on your own? I work from home 2-3 days a week and it’s perfect to throw in an oven and be ready at lunchtime. I ain’t going to cook a full meal.
Damn, you have interrupted me watching Star Trek: Enterprise. Those's ready meals I wish sometimes there were more of it especially the dinner range of ready meals. 😋
I call this type of food aircraft food as it's what you used to get on your holiday package flights before all the cost cutting came in. My only gripe with these foods is that you always get odd sized roast potatoes which then cause issues cooking them, small one is always burnt to death and the big ones hard.
Lovely but not enough to call it a meal- great review as always 🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎄 I will echo what you said about the alcohol. I believe,unless things have changed,Almost all alcohol disappears in the cooking process,leaving you with just the taste…
I think both Heron Foods and B&M use Kershaw for their ready meals, they were £1 but I think it may be £1.49 now. I've had these and added both English Mustard and Horseradish to add a bit of heat. If I were you I'd check the manufacturer's name as it could well be Kershaw Foods.
I’m a carer and a few of my clients have those Kershaws chicken dinners, I’ve never seen something so bad, you could fit the amount of chicken on a desert spoon. I’ll be recommending this meal to them as it’s a lot more substantial.
I used to like the aldi chicken dinner thst comes in a giant yorkshire. But they seem to have swapped out some of the chicken for carrots. Presumably to make it cheaper. There's no mention on the front of carrots its just tucked away in the ingredients. But there's way more in than the ingredients list suggests. There was absolutely loads in it. If youve had it before and know what its like it might be worth trying it again. Maybe i got one where theyd added carrots by mistake. I liked them because they werent bulked out with veg as i can do my own veg.
Looks quite nice, but like you say, it’s on the small side. A few more spuds and thicker beef slices would be nice. But I would quite happily eat it with horseradish and mustard on the side.
Does look nice to eat you can add your own mash to it it just makes me sad that people who are lonely would buy this because it’s convenient food another honest food review
I have had a few of these boxed dinners handy for people who live on their own there used to be a brand of boxed meals with a desert fixed to the dinner odd you can not microwave your meal
Great review as usual ,The way i see it If it was £3.75 without the beef ,would it be worth it ? by adding a one burger would it be better ? a 225g rump steak is the same price .
These roast beef dinners, whether frozen or fresh are pretty decent to be fair, they are all much along the same lines. As a single person, they make a nice Sunday dinner, a dollop of horseradish sauce, bit of bread and butter followed up with a bit of cheesecake or mini trifle, bosh, job's a good un.
The only thing good about these ready meal roast dinners is that they are great for weight loss. Im going to have one 3 nights a week as im trying to shed 20 pounds in January. They worked for me before, though i quite like the Bisto one, £2.80 in Sainsburys. Give it a go if youre in the feeezer section, its actually quite decent!
I like these as a quick meal when I cannot be bothered to cook. Always cooked in the oven. It’s the only type of ready meal I like. They are all much of a much although I steer clear of the really cheap ones as the beef is not as nice.
To escape possible steam burn when removing the film after cooking just slice a big hole in it. For what you would pay at a cafe for something similar It is probably not bad value. Handy for the freezer when your a bit stuck, shift work, or just a single wanting a Sunday dinner without all the fuss. Would need a bit of bread mind.
Was definately on your smaller plate in pic!I guess theyre ok if youre elderly with a smaller appetite or on a diet.Itd be better if you added extra veg to make it more filling.Another honest review.xx
I remember you doing a similar vid last Xmas, ie Xmas dinner for one. I remember comments saying that it is a shame there is a need for such meals at Xmas.
Doesn’t look much for the price looks like they ripped you off I mean I had 3 times amount that size of a roast before and it was a cheaper price but still looks good especially the Yorkshire hope you enjoy your night Gareth
Would love you to go get the too good to go app for your phone and pickup a Toby Roast Carvery.. they are currently £3.49 to compare the roasts. Pickup around 21:30 but could eat next day. I know what I think is far better value. 🙂
Definitely need bread with it. I mentioned it the other day about the Aldi peri peri king kebab. I can't find your video. I can see the gyros one but not the king kebab peri peri. Miss em coz they don't do em in Aldi Spain 😢
Asda have got them back in stock -- 4 dinner plates - 4 side plates & 4 bowls. £23 . I've been waiting a year for these to come back in to my local Asda .
Problem with me & TV dinners is i don’t eat fruit or veg so by time u bin the veg i ain’t got nothing left lol. Before folk lmfao moan by my lack of vitamins intake my nan Porter passed away @99 & never ate fruit or veg her entire life
Tesco are good for deals Gaz if you go after 5pm i got a Pepperoni Pizza for £1 reduced from £2.50p and i got 12 samosas for £1.20p reduced from £3 and another good deal loaf of bread 28p reduced from £1.20p , No idea why people pay the full prices just go in the evening and save yourself a few quid each day. Anyway im not a fan of those packet meal beef or chicken dinners they are only good if your ona night shift and only have a microwave but in that case the morrisons one can only be done in an oven so expensive lol

I love the “bread n butter” thing. Same as me. I’ve done it since I was a kid. When a meal is small it’s what you need to do to be full. 👍
Oh yeah that’s fair. Lovely. 👍
Not that I ever did 😉 but did you ever lick the plate?🤣
My ma used to bash me over it. 👍

Thought you were quite generous there Gaz. Processed beef, washed out watery veg. I’d say 6.
Tobe honest , I live on my own these days and being elderly , these meals are fine and quite tasty . Obviously not great for a family
4 roasties on the box and only 3 in the pack equals false advertising in my eyes
I suspect the potatoes are done _by weight_ rather than _by number._

Looks delicious and it's making me hungry 😆. Hope you are all keeping well sending you all love and prayers 🙏 God bless.
To escape possible steam burn when removing the film after cooking just slice a big hole in it. For what you would pay at a cafe for something similar It is probably not bad value. Handy for the freezer when your a bit stuck, shift work, or just a single wanting a Sunday dinner without all the fuss. Would need a bit of bread mind.
Hi Gareth, not to bad for what it is, the beef a bit wafer thin but it will do , as always a great review , take care👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜
You are so welcome!
Was definately on your smaller plate in pic!I guess theyre ok if youre elderly with a smaller appetite or on a diet.Itd be better if you added extra veg to make it more filling.Another honest review.xx
I haven't had one of these for ages. They are handy for the older generation to keep in the freezer
I remember you doing a similar vid last Xmas, ie Xmas dinner for one. I remember comments saying that it is a shame there is a need for such meals at Xmas.
the yourshire pud always goes hard but the size i think they make it for the elderly my nan used to have them and she said it was ok filled her
Doesn’t look much for the price looks like they ripped you off I mean I had 3 times amount that size of a roast before and it was a cheaper price but still looks good especially the Yorkshire hope you enjoy your night Gareth
Small but looks tasty 😋
😋👍
I've not seen these ready meals at Morrisons anywhere other than in the freezer cabinet? My local is a big one too so it's not due to lack of space.
ANother great rteview Gareth. Where are those plates from again? Perfect with those sides!
Good post just tried Lidl roast beef dinner £2.49 looks about the same.Cooks in MICRO ANOTHER potatoes should of been nice
Looks nice… I’ll get one…. Might survey the packets to see if I can find a 4 shudder😂👍
These ready meals tend to taste a bit synthetic and processed - especially the meat! They are meant to feed one, but don’t!
Would love you to go get the too good to go app for your phone and pickup a Toby Roast Carvery.. they are currently £3.49 to compare the roasts. Pickup around 21:30 but could eat next day. I know what I think is far better value. 🙂
I’m quite sure I could put an extraordinary beef dinner together for £3.75 per head!!!!! As you say it’s very basic.
Even if I was only cooking for myself, I think I could do better for £3.75
Thanks Mom.
Great review Gaz you just need more but that’s like all of them 👏👏👍👍
Thanks 👍
It'd make a good starter.
Definitely the smaller plate and more of it! Hmm nothing is ever what it seems 😂 great vlog.
Off to Morrisons thanks Gaz
thank you for another amazing review.
Great video mate looks like a nice dinner that one 👍
I love the fact your not staying humble around this product Gareth thank you for another great review for this meal for 4
That’s a meal for 4 yeah right well you’ve had it if your a fatty 😂😂
Sorry if I upset anyone who’s fat
Thank you mate I appreciate that
My pleasure!
Definitely need bread with it.
I mentioned it the other day about the Aldi peri peri king kebab. I can't find your video. I can see the gyros one but not the king kebab peri peri. Miss em coz they don't do em in Aldi Spain 😢
Literally about 2 year ago these were about 2 quid, cheaper in Iceland. £3.75? Something has to be done about these prices.
a portion of mash would have been welcome, it's the best glue for peas x
👏👏 Great meal. Amazing what you get today . Thanks for your review . Take care from 🇨🇦
Cheers
Ppl who live alone have plenty more spare time, so buy all the ingredients seperately and cook it all, its much healthier and cookings fun
I have the chicken one that I'll be having tomorrow, looks OK.
Hi Gareth just noticed the smaller plates did they come as a set
Asda have got them back in stock -- 4 dinner plates - 4 side plates & 4 bowls. £23 . I've been waiting a year for these to come back in to my local Asda .
I usually add some mash and a few sprouts to meals like this
Good idea
Problem with me & TV dinners is i don’t eat fruit or veg so by time u bin the veg i ain’t got nothing left lol. Before folk lmfao moan by my lack of vitamins intake my nan Porter passed away @99 & never ate fruit or veg her entire life
Tesco are good for deals Gaz if you go after 5pm i got a Pepperoni Pizza for £1 reduced from £2.50p and i got 12 samosas for £1.20p reduced from £3 and another good deal loaf of bread 28p reduced from £1.20p , No idea why people pay the full prices just go in the evening and save yourself a few quid each day. Anyway im not a fan of those packet meal beef or chicken dinners they are only good if your ona night shift and only have a microwave but in that case the morrisons one can only be done in an oven so expensive lol
Looks good but would need 2 of them.
