About Charlie Bighams

Charlie Bigham's is a British premium prepared meals brand founded by Charlie Bigham in 1996. After leaving his management consultancy career at Andersen Consulting, Bigham started the business in his own kitchen, selling at local markets before securing backing from the fourteenth bank he approached. The first 500 square foot kitchen opened in Park Royal, North West London. The business began with just three products - zesty Caribbean lamb, Cajun chicken with salsa, and salmon with dill and cream sauce - making only 20 meals in the first week. Early stockists included Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, and Waitrose. Charlie Bigham's became a certified B Corporation in 2020 and recorded annual sales of £104.4 million during the pandemic as housebound Britons turned to premium convenience meals. The founder takes issue with the term "ready meals", insisting: "A ready meal is synonymous with compromise. It's process and price over quality and taste." Dishes are designed to be heated in a conventional oven rather than microwaved, with wooden or ceramic containers instead of metal or plastic packaging. Popular dishes include Cottage Pie (British beef slow-cooked with red wine and thyme, topped with mashed potato, Cheddar and parmesan), Fish Pie (cod, salmon and smoked haddock in parsley sauce with creamy mashed potato), Lasagne (slow-cooked beef and pork ragù with egg pasta and béchamel), plus Chicken Tikka Masala, Thai Green Curry, Beef Bourguignon, Salmon en Croûte, and more. Originally known for meals for two, Charlie Bigham's expanded with single-portion dishes including fish pie, lasagne, macaroni cheese, and moussaka. In 2016, the company moved production to a purpose-built food campus at Dulcote Quarry in Somerset.

FAQs

Grocefully is a smart grocery shopping app that automatically compares prices across all major UK supermarkets (Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, etc.) and helps you buy from the cheapest stores. We handle the complexity of split orders so you save money without any extra effort.

Our users save an average of 25-30% on their total grocery bill. For a typical £100 weekly shop, that's £20-25 in savings even after our 5% service fee. The exact amount depends on your shopping habits and the products you buy.

We currently support Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Waitrose, and Iceland. We're constantly adding new stores and will notify you when more become available.

Grocefully is available wherever the supported supermarkets deliver. Simply enter your postcode when you sign up to check availability in your area.

Our AI scans real-time prices from all supported supermarkets every time you shop. It finds exact matches or suitable alternatives for each item on your list, then automatically selects the cheapest option while considering delivery fees and minimum order requirements.

You can set brand preferences for any item. If you prefer specific brands, Grocefully will only compare prices for those brands. You can also allow substitutions for some items while keeping others fixed.

Grocefully shows you available delivery slots from each store and helps coordinate them. We optimize to get you the most convenient delivery times while maintaining the best prices.

Yes! You can link your loyalty cards from each supermarket and continue earning points on all your purchases. We'll automatically apply any available discounts.

We charge a simple 5% service fee on your total order value. For example, if your groceries cost £100, you'll pay £5 as a service fee. This covers our costs for finding you the best prices, handling multiple orders, and providing customer support.

Our users save an average of 25-30% per shop. Even after the 5% service fee, you're still saving 20-25% on average. For a £100 shop, you'd save £25-30 and pay £5 in fees, netting you £20-25 in savings!

The service fee is automatically calculated and shown before you complete your order. It's added to your total, so you only make one payment. No hidden charges or surprises.

No hidden fees! You pay the grocery prices (same as shopping directly), the stores' delivery fees (if any), and our 5% service fee. That's it. We believe in complete transparency.

If you're not happy with your savings, contact our support team. We'll review your order and if we didn't save you money (after accounting for our fee), we'll refund the service fee. Your satisfaction is our priority.

Yes, you can modify orders up until the supermarket's cut-off time (usually a few hours before delivery). Any changes are automatically synced across all your orders.

If an item is out of stock, we'll automatically find the next cheapest option from another store or suggest a suitable replacement. You can set preferences for how you want us to handle substitutions.

Refunds are processed according to each supermarket's policy. If you're not satisfied with your savings, contact our support team - we offer a money-back guarantee on our service fee.

Our customer support team is here to help resolve any issues. We work directly with the supermarkets to ensure quick resolution of any problems.
