Joanna Awarded The Little Dish Chicken & Butternut Squash Pie 4.9/5

First impression very good.  This was one of my child favourites (I did add a bit on chilli to it to give it a kick as she likes it) but she ate it all up.   Nutritional benefits very good.  Packaging fine – colourful clearly stated what it was and had the ingredients listed.   Very convenient – can be cooked from frozen in the microwave in 4 minutes and held up very well being cooked as such. Or can be put in the oven as well. So very useful to have around.  Very nice – while as said below not as good as home cooked for a pre packaged dinner was very nice. In fact it was such a good prepackaged meal I would consider taking it to work myself.  When on offer yes they do offer good value for money for a meal that can be made in minutes. However if you do have time to make home cooked food then that would be cheaper.  Product is fine as it is – you can easily add in some extra kick (which we did by adding a little chilli powder) and it should cater to everyone.  I would purchase this again.  I would not use them for every meal (it would get repetitious and expensive) I think they are an extremely useful item to have. I would use them a least twice a week when we have been out all day.  One of our favourites – had a much better consistency than the fish pie.   The little dish meals are very tasty and useful. While I think they are too expensive to be used everyday and do lack some of the taste of a home cooked freshly made meal I found they were incredibly useful to have in the fridge and freezer particularly after a day out when you could come in and within five minutes have a tasty nutritious meal served up. I will definitely be keeping them in the store cupboard for such occasions.  Joanna Southwell – Samantha 18 Months

Tracy Awarded The Little Dish Chicken & Butternut Squash Pie 4.5/5

I thought this would have been my daughter’s favourite, but unfortunately it wasn’t. I thought it tasted good, but my daughter didn’t like the chicken pieces (even though she does eat chicken).  A good balance of foods for a growing toddler.  Can’t fault the packaging – information of ingredients and cooking instructions very detailed.  Very convenient, quick and easy to prepare. The chicken pieces where larger than I thought – perhaps this is why my daughter didn’t eat the chicken?? When deals are available, it makes it worth while buying to stock up the freezer.  One improvement would be to make the chicken pieces smaller.  Given that this dish wasn’t a favourite, I wouldn’t buy it again just now.  A lovely tasting dish for me, but my daughter didn’t like the chicken pieces for some reason – perhaps they were too big??  Tracy Walsh – Ellie 22 Months

Debbie Awarded The Little Dish Chicken & Butternut Squash Pie 4.8/5

Looked really good quality.  I must admit I had not tried Little Dish before so was keen to taste.  This was definitely one of our favourites.  Gillian really enjoyed this and would always clear her bowl.  The packaging is colourful, informative and you have all the nutritional information you need.  These are easy to keep in the freezer, and get out and heat up quickly just when you need them. Ideal for your travels and great nutritional meal ready if you have been out all day.  You can get these ready in minutes by just popping in the microwave.   So easy.  Very tasty and even though not as good as homemade a very good alternative. . Even I enjoyed this meal and not really a lover of Butternut squash.   These are a bit expensive and look out for them on special offer.  However saying that they are great to have stock in the freezer for when you need them.  We have also had some ready for when friends pop round and stay longer than expected so great life saver.  These are great meals to keep in storage, tasty and nutritious.  I have already purchased and will recommend.  Scrummy and thank you.  Debbie Partridge – Gillian  19 Months
