I’ve now had three meals from Dispatch and all have been superb. They arrive on time, the instructions are easy to follow and each one has been very tasty with good sized portions - in fact the two person meals always serve three in our house.

Ordered the Rick Stein lobster thermidor dinner for New Year's Eve. Expensive but good value, especially for those unable for health reasons to eat indoors at a restaurant.
All three courses were excellent for delivered food. Only in a restaurant could one expect better. The portion sizes were good, there was plenty of taste and the menu as a whole worked well.
Only the least important item, a bread roll, disappointed (dull and a bit stale). It would be better omitted but a recommendation given for providing one's own.
Ordinary delivery was only guaranteed to arrive by 10pm, which seems a bit late for most people to start preparing, but customer service were very helpful in ensuring an earlier slot at a price.
Overall five stars.

Great food , easy to follow instructions and great value for money .

Ordered Rick Stein's lobster thermidor as a special treat for New Year's Eve and it was fantastic. This was our first order from Dishpatch and we will defiinitely be trying other dishes during the year

When the box arrived and we took the ingredients out we felt a bit let down. But wow were we so wrong. Wonderful tasty food and the right portion size.
Definitely using again

Ordered the Celebration of Kanishka for New Year’s Eve and the Middle Eastern Festive Feast for Christmas Eve. Both were excellent, good portion sizes, high quality food and easy to prepare. Would definitely recommend.

The Kanishka Celebration was quite tasty and very easy to prepare,Enough for two but it's best to taste the sauces first prior using them.
The meal definitely had a special Indian feel.

I ordered the Cafe Murano Bistecca alla Fiorentina as a New Years eve meal. The portion sizes were just right and the food was great especially the beef. My husband kept mentioning how tasty it was the next day. One thing I would have liked is some sort of veg with the main meal. Would definitely recommend.

Michel Roux Toffee Apple Pudding - absolute banger! It was absolutely delicious, very easy to prepare, and the portion sizes were perfect. An absolute delight!

Pre ordering, delivery , packaging and cooking instructions spot on.
We were rather disappointed with the meal overall, 2 scallops for starter were quite small and once halved were no more than slithers, totally overwhelmed by the amount of hash potato served with it. Monkfish was lovely but the champagne sauce didn't have much flavour and although it came with a small portion of saffron potatoes, it was missing some veg.
The ganache tart for pud was very nice but nothing that I couldn't have made myself.
It was quite a disappointing New Year’s Eve celebration meal given it promised so much, we've had better through dishpatch so I would still order again and have just written this one off as a poor choice (albeit an expensive one).

Second time we have used Dishpatch and we ordered the Michel Roux Beef Wellington Banquet.
Carbohydrate overload - sourdough, toasted brioche and chicken liver parfait, scallop and champagne soup was divine! Beef Wellington cooked wonderfully rare but no beef at the ends of the large croute casing.
Two very acidic elements on the plate - red wine jus and weirdly the celeriac & potato dauphinoise.
Absolutely stuffed after main course so never got round to the brioche bread and butter pudding (more carbs) with poached pears.
High priced menu which under delivered.
Addendum - we had the brioche bread and butter pudding the next day - stodgy and under flavoured and the poached pears were rock hard, even after warming in a saucepan.

Very interesting meal - Peruvian suckling pig. Unusual starter and delish choc mousse pudding. Tuna ceviche was excellent. Reasonable price (had discount). Prompt delivery. Instructions easy to follow. Cooking time short and allowed time for G&T midway.

Had the Lobster Biryani Feast by Empire Empire and it was Spectacular. One of the best Dispatch menus we have had

Murano's Bistecca alla Fiorentina is one of our favourites - the beef centrepiece remains consistently delicious and the full menu varies enough to keep it interesting. Prep is relatively easy with clear instructions about timings etc.

It was our first order from Dishpatch.
We had the beef wellington banquet and it was superb.
Will definitely order again soon.

Our Champagne Monkfish celebration dinner by Paul Ainsworth was delicious. With clear instructions and illustrations on how to serve the meal, we did indeed have a celebration dinner.

Food was excellent. Delivery was great.
I thought it was a bit expensive for what we had.

The food arrived on time and very well packed - all ingredients were in separate containers . In fact we only ate 3 or the 4 courses and keep one course for breakfast the next day . The meal was easy to cook and didn't involve much more than opening the various jars and assembling the meal.
The slight issue was that the potatoes whilst cooked didn't crisp in their allotted time but this didn't detract from the overall meal
It was quite expensive at £90 but considering what we received was worth the money

We had the champagne monkfish menu we have been to Paul Ainsworth restaurant in Padstow and this menu was as good as eating in his restaurant would recommend excellent

Outstanding Food very simple to follow and cook
