Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 34 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the good quality and delicious taste of the meals, often comparing them to homemade dishes. People find a good variety of dishes and flavors, noting that they are easy to prepare, filling, and satisfying. The meals are particularly valued by those with food allergies or specific dietary requirements, as they offer balanced and nutritious options that are often hard to find elsewhere. However, some people were dissatisfied with the quality, describing certain products as bland, tasteless, or having an unappealing texture. There were also complaints about packaging being difficult to open and a perceived lack of key ingredients like chicken in some dishes. A few other people also felt that recent recipe changes have negatively impacted the flavor of previously enjoyed meals.

I’m so glad I found Kirsty’s...

I’m so glad I discovered Kirsty’s. I had been struggling to find ready meals in the supermarket as a vegan and when I saw the Kirsty's range I was over the moon at the vegan options! The vegan mac & cheeze is honestly such a comfort food and it’s rare to find a vegan version that actually feels satisfying, creamy and properly comforting. I’ve also tried the lasagne and cottage pie, and they’ve made such a difference to me because they’re quick, easy and still feel like a proper dinner.

As someone who can’t always manage cooking from scratch, having vegan ready meals that taste good and work well in the microwave is genuinely a game changer.
I highly recommend!

I came across Kirsty’s by chance a few…

I came across Kirsty’s by chance a few years ago and have been buying the products ever since I find them very enjoyable especially as I have many intolerances to many ingredients so these ready meals are a god send, I but the cottage pie with sweet potato mash, lasagna which is delicious and u did have the pepperoni pizza can’t find that anymore but it was for I’ve just come across there collaboration with my protein which is good as I’m on calorie count diet with the need for high protein so these tick the boxes. Thank you Kirsty’s for making such good ready meals 😀

Hi there,

We are so glad that you enjoy our meals and that you can rely on them with your dietary requirements!

We are sorry to hear that our products have stopped being stocked in your local store, we are working hard to make sure our meals are stocked in as many stores as we can. But if you would like to help out, please leave a review or get in touch with Tesco/Morrisons customer care team and let them know that you want to see our products in your store again. Its the best way you can ensure they stay stocked in your area.

Thanks very much,

I bought a kirsty`s meal

I bought a kirsty`s meal, katsu curry, from my local tesco. It was tasteless, very bland. I got in touch with them about it and eventually was sent a voucher for a free meal. , neither my local tesco (from where I bought original meal) or my local Asda could acept the voucher. I got back in touch with Kirsty`s who told me they had resolved the problem with Tesco. I wish, Tesco still couldn`taccept the voucher. Tried explaining again to Kirsty`s but no replies from them since. The voucher has now expired.

Not very nice

Not very nice. Customer services from Sainsbury's just as bad. Why does it say NOT for EU In use by date. I presume this is not a good sign for a product .

Delicious Gluten and Dairy Free Options

I really like their MyProtein Ready meals as someone who is coeliac and dairy free for medical reasons they have a good range and are super helpful if you have any questions. Their customer service when things go a bit wonky with production was fantastic, I’m a very happy customer.

Life changing products

Kirsty’s meal range is wide and is produced to help people with food allergies. Where as I don’t have an allergy I have a metabolic condition which means I’m on a protein restricted diet (phenylketonuria / pku) I’ve turned to the Kirsty’s range as their lasagne and cottage pie (all I’ve had so far) are not just fantastic, and flavoursome but are low enough in protein so I’m able to finally have a proper shop bought ready meal! I finally feel normal! And it’s thanks to Kirsty’s products. For myself it’s been a life changer and have made the Kirsty’s range the go to brand for a low protein treat :)

I only wish I had read the reviews

I only wish I had read the reviews, Gluten free lasagne. As the other reviews said it was sloppy, I agree more like a soup. selling point in my local supermarket stated "New larger portion". Great it just took me slightly longer to scrape in the bin

I am beyond disappointed with Kirsty’s

I am beyond disappointed with Kirsty’s. I’ve been a loyal customer for their Macaroni Cheese, but they have recently changed the recipe and, in doing so, have completely destroyed the flavour. What used to be a reliable, tasty meal is now bland and unappealing.
What’s most frustrating is that the company seems fully aware of the widespread dissatisfaction. Given their already average ratings, you would think they would listen to their community and revert to the original formula. Instead, they have stubbornly refused to amend it. It’s a real shame to see a brand choose to protect a poor decision rather than prioritise customer satisfaction. I won’t be buying again until the old recipe returns.
Would you like me to adjust the tone to be more firm, or perhaps condense it further for a shorter review?

Tasty, wholesome meals

Kirsty's meals are always flavoursome and hearty. I love their cottage pie for when I don't feel like cooking. Good quality ingredients used for wholesome balanced meals.

Nice

I've had plenty of Kirstys meals over the last 12 months, and I've been pleased with them all. Probably not enough meat in for some, but plenty enough for me. Full of taste, easy on my stomach, overall great!

Quality versus quantity

The meal was very good in terms of taste and texture, the seasoning was just right and the instructions easy to follow. The downside is the portion was rather small for an adult meal.

Delicious, nutritious meals

Kirsys make good quality, delicious meals, tasting almost as good as homemade ones. Good variety of dishes/flavours and so easy to prepare. My favourite is the cottage pie with a delicious sweet potato topping on flavoursome mince. Kirstys provide balanced, nutritious meals that are perfect for those with food allergies.

Happy customer

I've tried a number of products from Kirsty's range and overall I've been very impressed. The lentil cottage pie has got to be my favourite. It's flavourful comfort food.

Better than a takeaway

I enjoy a Chinese takeaway but it is difficult to find a gluten free option so I was keen to try this. I have to say that it was absolutely delicious with good pieces of chicken and perfect rice. It is high in protein and has plenty of vegetables.
