Fizz :-) Sep 2023 8:38pm, 26 Sep 2023 8,237 posts	0 Fizz :-) WW and I quite often go away for our wedding anniversary and usually have a meal in a nice restaurant. This year, we’re staying at home, so we’d like a really nice meal delivered. I know Rick Stein does boxes, and there’s lots of chefs on here dishpatch.co.uk but I’m hoping for personal recommendations from Fetchies that have tried places. I’m pretty certain I’ve read reviews in blogs, I just can’t quite remember whose!

Ocelot Spleens Sep 2023 8:56pm, 26 Sep 2023 37,975 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens I was not overly impressed with Rick Stein's fish box. Very good fish though, very pricey, recipes no great shakes that you can't do yourself with access to a fishmonger and his recipe book.
paulcook Sep 2023 8:58pm, 26 Sep 2023 3,264 posts	0 paulcook I’ve had Tommy Banks twice. One Sunday roast (the beef was excellent) and one other 3 course meal. Both excellent. Though not a patch on the real thing!! From memory though it depends how you like your desserts because I think there’s a few vegetable-based choices.
Mushroom Sep 2023 8:41am, 27 Sep 2023 2,787 posts	0 Mushroom Do you have a local restaurant that offers a takeaway option Fizz? Some nice restaurants near me have being doing it - a step up from a normal takeaway.
Curly45 Sep 2023 8:46am, 27 Sep 2023 4,531 posts	0 Curly45 Metro_Nome does these a lot or has in the past. But I guess it's location dependent on what's available.
Metro_Nome Sep 2023 5:11pm, 27 Sep 2023 7,202 posts	0 Metro_Nome I love dishpatch, huge variety and we haven’t had a bad meal yet (the alcohol is over priced though)
Fizz :-) Sep 2023 7:18pm, 27 Sep 2023 8,243 posts	0 Fizz :-) Thanks all, plenty of food for thought We'll let you know, it’s not until the 18th.
BaronessBL Sep 2023 10:37pm, 28 Sep 2023 10,442 posts	0 BaronessBL Another vote for the Tommy Banks/Made in Oldstead ones. We've never been disappointed by them and have probably had 3 or 4 since they started doing them in lockdown
