Good meal let down by poor quality beef.
Whilst the potatoes and the sauce were very good the beef was of very poor quality. Even after cooking in an oven at the correct temperature for the full 25 minutes the beef was very tough and stringy and had to be cut (with difficulty) into small pieces to be able to chew.
TASTY
Very tasty served with few extra new potatoes
Disgusting
Very badly cooked and unpleasant. It was horrible.
Lovely meat BUT...
I cooked this in the oven as recommended. The meat and gravy were absolutely delicious but the potatoes spoilt it for me. They were dry and floury and quite hard on the outside. I love potatoes but not like this. It's a real pity because the rest of the meal was so good, but I won't be buying it again.
Really tasty sauce and plenty of meat and potatoes
Really tasty sauce and plenty of meat and potatoes. I made this with extra roast potatoes to beef the meal up a bit but on its own this meal is ample.
I found the small meat portion had too many tough

No longer any good!
Used to be nice but quality going down all the time. Last time there were 4 'lumps' of meat - 2 pure gristle, and potatoes were not wedged, just halved. Lazy preparation! Will not buy again.
Avoid
Tesco ready meals seem to struggle with the beef. Quality or grade is low. The dog ate it. Thought "Finest" would be better than the cheaper alternative. (The dog ate the meat out of that too). Shame as otherwise would be excellent. Flavourful.
The sauce is amazing.

Save your money
Used to be good but the last few I have had were not made of the same meat. Also very little of it which in fact didn't matter as the last few times, I have left the meat. Just paying for potato and gravy really. Expensive for just that. Meat like dog food.
