I’ve had this meal before and I usually try to halve or quarter the potatoes as I like to have plenty of crispy edges on my roasties, which also helps to prevent under done potatoes as well as giving the appearance of a larger portion.
Looks better than a Toby carvery tbh! I don't all the extras they serve there, just carrots, peas, roast potatoes and some other veg. There beef is always over done so this is probably better. I would make some mash to go on side and maybe do some braised leeks in Jersey salted butter!
I agree, they may be fairly good value for the money but I found that eating a small portion like that, makes me feel hungrier than If I had none at all.
These small meals are ideal for a lunchtime but to do that meal properly the yorkie would have to be plate sized and filled with the other bits and pieces. Horseradish and mint sauce, hmm, not sure if I could do that, but each to their own. Best wishes from North Cheshire almost Lancashire.
Had this meal last Sunday. I thought it was quite nice. Was just enough for one. Meat was nice and tender and the gravy was better tasting than I thought it would be. Was also great value. Thumbs up from me 👍
I reckon that`s well worth £2-50 as it`s £2-60 for a small portion of chips on the South coast.Ideal for somebody who`s had a long day and wants a quick and easy meal or an OAP.
I went to ALDI today and bought our Turkey Crown to keep in the freezer for Christmas. Another great video. I am busy eating my lobster I got the other day from LIDL. I worked in the 70’s for a company called STC installing telephone exchanges and it was a sacking offence if you carried any sharp objects.
I buy the Tesco roast beef dinners. The potatoes and Yorkshire pudding (plus two or three extra Yorkshire pudding, Hearty foods do them 15 for 50 pence in Tesco) go in the air fryer on some tinfoil and the meat and veg in the microwave. They are great value for your money at £2.20 ! Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜
I had three Hearty Food Company (Tesco) Yorkshire puddings yesterday and they were surprisingly okay. Surprising, because I once tried a Hearty Food Co bangers and mash and it was disgusting.
Managed to catch last orders at Aldi on Saturday evening, but it was like the last 10 minutes of a Six Nations rugby match ! Hmmn… room for improvement in these ready meals. Have stopping buying their Stew & Dumplings as the meat had too much gristle. But this particular dinner isn’t bad. Thanks for the review.
For 4 of those meals you could make a lot more meals from scratch … peas, carrots,asda essentials yorkshires and roast potatoes for next to nothing - just wait for the beef to come on offer!
Cheap and cheerful ,looks OK if you are in a rush . Brush some marmite on your roast potatoes if you like it . I shake my roast pots after boiling for 8 mins in breadcrumbs. Yum crispy ! Thank you for that lovely demo .
@@antonypacan5849 it's really nice , I add garlic granules to Yorkshire pudding mix, and paprika it gives them more flavour , crushed crisps on top of lasagna with the cheese . My family seem to love it .
I am from Manchester originally, but my other Grandparents were from Barry Island, I remember my Grandmother serving up just a yorkshire pudding with gravy, inbetween the starters and main course
Hi Gareth always a joy to watch , your presentation skills are really important on these cheaper meals Beef dinners have been around for years , so your advice on pimping them up is spot on , however at this price those on a tight budget are always going to benefit from your wonderful channel , way to go Gareth
Looks good for 2.50 to be fair. For anyone that is maybe living on their own and not in the mood to prepare something from scratch that could be an alright option. Nice little quick and simple roast dinner for a Sunday. Basic enough alright but looks fine.
You worked at Sellafield? Well that would be an interesting conversation over a pint or three! For the price, this doesn't look bad....but it seems like a lonely dinner for one. With the holidays around the corner, I feel sad about those that are lonely. Thank God, I've got some really great friends as my "family" now.
Glad to see you read and listen to the comments and trimming them down. Looking good and the smell is like ?? Looks great and no marks on shirt from drips to get your SPOT ON 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s the trouble with Aldi. You find something you like and when you go back to get it again, you can’t find it. Most times you never see it on sale again. My Mrs and I searched several Aldis, looking for those venison sausages with cranberries that you featured a while ago. We’ve never been able to find them 😢
It's been out for years along with the chicken breast dinner. It's not new but it's tasty and decent value when compared with the same offering at Tesco or Morrisons.
Thanks Gareth. I nearly always put mint sauce in my gravy regardless of the meat is, and mint sauce on spring greens mmmmmmmmmm. Horseradish …………I’m drooling
Thanks for this, I have in the past walked by this meal in its normal form using silverside or simular cuts, always tough or firm cuts never seen it with brisket before, it has a better flavour in my opinion.If its tender then most likely pre-pressure cooked. Thats how I cook Brisket in my ninja foodi then just air fry it about 6mins after to give it colour, it melts in the mouth. I will try it, and buy some frozen yorkshires to pad it out, and cook roasties a bit more have horseradish sauce with it lovely stuff
I was in aldi yesterday, got a few interesting looking things including a chicken dinner inside a yorkshire pud, pulled pork meal, so hoping this doesnt turn out bad.
Yes I have tried them myself from Aldi Gareth for £2.49 they are good value the fact that it says caution contains alcohol at most the red wine gravy the alcohol content at the most I assume will be negligible as one assumes that the alcohol will or would evaporate during cooking 😊
We have Yorkshire puddings on all our roast dinner's and I love mint sauce too! on every roast dinner no matter which meat has Yorkshire puds and mint sauce! x
Hi Gareth thanks for the Friday night programme. The aldi dinner did look quite good.I must admit the Yorkshire looked a bit sorry for itself ,I agree you cannot beat home made Yorkshire puddings when I was a kid I use to have milk on mine as a sweet.things we use to do! Have a great weekend
Another great looking frozen meal...I'm from Canada...we have M&M's frozen food store...their meals compare and are usually quite good...I especially like their cabbage rolls which they sell in individual servings and bulk as well...I buy for convenience only...homemade is always better!
@@icouldbewrongicouldberight I have stage 4 colon cancer and have a dietitian; I will ask her on Tuesday when I see her next. Salt has always been a problem.
Another great review Gareth, it really looks delicious. You could have used extra Yorkshire puddings from the last review you did also mint sauce on the peas. Haha 👍
That looked allright Gaz for two and half nicker, still looking for the M&S Xmas dinner for one, cant manage to get one R round these parts yet, keep up the fab reveiws, Cheer H
Hi Gareth, those 'TV meals' have been around for decades. They used to come on round plastic plates, I don't know if they still do, and were sold in all of the main supermarkets either chilled or frozen. You can also get them with chicken or pork.
@@BaldFoodieGuy beef is so expensive, you aren't going to get loads for that price. You could probably make a full, proper chicken or gammon roast dinner for that price per head
It's not new, because I've bought this dinner from Aldi several times over the past few years. Always a good fallback if one has been busy and doesn't want to cook. I never expect too much from this dinner. It is what it is. It tastes all right and fills a hole. When you have a pack like this, don't turn it over to read the back, just remove the sleeve. A big plus with this meal is that it contains fewer calories than an Aldi prawn mayonnaise sandwich!
@@Scooby_Doobie_Doo What's different? You've got beef, gravy, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, peas and carrots. Exactly the same content as I've eaten several times before over several years.
@@Scooby_Doobie_Doo What difference does the supplier make? In any case, Aldi doesn't print the name of the supplier on the packaging, so how do you know?
Hi Gareth i was being lazy today and had a lasagna and the plastic lid didn't come off properly and all i thought about you 🤣, a great review as always 🍻🙏
37 in "quote" and this is fresh as well....8.45 in "quote" well just what you expect really from frozen yorkshire puddings !! . You gotta love ol Gazza lololol quality.
💕I just brought the Aldi Festive Pies, gonna have one for dinner during the week, lucky I got a pack, as it was the last one on the shelf…💕 Gonna give this one a go too, as cooking a mini beef roast for one sometimes seems more bother than it’s worth 😊
I'm sure these cost under two quid not so long ago, tried it once but wasn't overly impressed and like you say it looks nothing like it does on the packaging.
Also. I agree when you say about it only being a cooking suggestion. People seem to just follow the instructions and dont try to cook it any other way.
You took my advice and cut the part of , great stuff . I nay buy meals from M&S but would be interested in Aldi meals . Just cooking for one is my situation .😊
Those roast dinners are good for me as a pensioner living alone who to buy all the ingredients and cook a roast dinner is too costly. These are roughly the size of hospital dinners but you do have breakfast and tea. A lot of us only eat once a day so it is small for a hard working person.
Another fantastic video thank you. The same in our house any roast dinner has to have Yorkshire puddings and mint sauce plus we have homemade onion sauce as well. 🤗🤗🤗
I remember talking to a guy who supplies supermarkets he would have to make that for about 60p - 80p a portion. I couldn't see any profit in it .and if there is no profit there is no point in doing it.
I had this dinner a few weeks ago and I thought it tasted sour. I read the ingredients after I cooked it and realised it included red wine in the gravy. I couldn’t eat it. Sorry Aldi I wish you did an option without the red wine. Maybe mention it on the front of the packaging to point it out. I love a beef dinner.
Good review . Not the worst thing to eat when you come home and you are knackered and cant be bothered cooking . I use them a little but portion size is an issue ,
Put the little Yorkshire Pudding under the grill for a couple of minutes, turning half way through. It makes it nice and crispy instead of kinda soggy when you put it back in the microwave.
I haven't had or even seen mint sauce for years but I equated it with roast lamb. That's what my family always had it with. Then some bright spark thought we should replace mint sauce with mint jelly which I can't stand. I guess it's different in the UK.
In the U.K. we have mint sauce & mint jelly. You can easily make your own mint sauce if you can get fresh mint, which can be grown in a pot. Just finely chop or grind up a handfull of mint leaves, add a spoonful of sugar, a spoonful of Apple Cider Vinegar, & pinch of salt & a spoonful of water, mix thoroughly & then adjust the preportion of ingredients till it is as you like.
I agree with Sarah there. Dead easy to make with fresh mint (possible with dried mint but a poor substitute). Never thought of the dash of salt though. Teaspoons or bigger ones? I think it depends on the amount you want to make. You can pretty much do it by eye, you'll see when the consistency looks right and try a bit to taste.
@@KingFahtah Well maybe start with teaspoons & then taste it & adjust the amounts to your own taste. The salt is optional, so you can try it without first.
Best way with mint jelly is 20min before you take the lamb out of the oven is to coat all over with a pastry brush then put it back in on a slightly higher shelf and it will form a crackling glaze
Actually it’s not bad for the price. And ideal for anyone with A small appetite. I would probably have it with some bread and butter. Another winner of video absolute Fantastic.
Aye they do a Roast Beef and a Roast Chicken Dinner, looks like they've updated the packageing and called it "New." I used to buy them regularly, liked them but agree with other commenters the portion size wouldn't feed an adult, I used to buy a wee packet of roast beef slices from the deli section and add it to the dinner. I always do the potatoes and Yorkshire Pudd in the air fryer, veg and meat in the microwave. Won't be buying so often now though since they've bumped the price up. Used to be around £2.69
Retailers are a cunning bunch. They always try it on. One trick is to remove a product deliberately for a few months, then reintroduce the same product with a New sticker on.
I was wondering if you could do a comparison on chicken dinners in tesco. They have a calorie controlled one and and normal one under the tesco banner. I wanted to know how different they were!
It doesn't look bad for the money. Say if you were on your own or wanted a quick meal. We're the Gareth we always have yorkshires it doesn't matter what meat you have. My husband likes mint sauce
I’ve had this meal before and I usually try to halve or quarter the potatoes as I like to have plenty of crispy edges on my roasties, which also helps to prevent under done potatoes as well as giving the appearance of a larger portion.

Andrew, have you got a twin Sister?
@@andreamacgillivray3653 no I haven’t, just an older sister, who is 5 years older than me.
@@andrewcoates6641 Hi. I see. I am sure the Andrew Coates I knew, had a twin Sister called Anne!
the trouble with all these packaged meals is the size, they are all tiny little things. I would need to buy two :)
Yes lol
I agree, they may be fairly good value for the money but I found that eating a small portion like that, makes me feel hungrier than If I had none at all.
Well that is easily done and still only cost you a fiver.
I'm a small person so I find the quantity fine..I do agree that a lot of people would find these small+would need 2 tho..

I used to buy them regularly, liked them but agree with other commenters the portion size wouldn't feed an adult, I used to buy a wee packet of roast beef slices from the deli section and add it to the dinner. I always do the potatoes and Yorkshire Pudd in the air fryer, veg and meat in the microwave. Won't be buying so often now though since they've bumped the price up. Used to be around £2.69
Retailers are a cunning bunch. They always try it on. One trick is to remove a product deliberately for a few months, then reintroduce the same product with a New sticker on.
I can’t help thinking that the Yorkshire Pudding looked like a clitoris TBH! Hope that is in keeping with civil and respectful guidelines, good vid!
Haha yes of course 🤣👌👌
GB code indicates produced by Pro-Pak Foods Malton Yorkshire. Not bad for £2.50.
£2.50 seems a lot for what you get Gareth, ok I suppose for quickness. Good review as always 😊
Yes pretty good Iris 😊👍
I was wondering if you could do a comparison on chicken dinners in tesco. They have a calorie controlled one and and normal one under the tesco banner. I wanted to know how different they were!
I might get this and give the beef bit to my flatmate as I'm veggie, would go nice with a cottage pie.
Looks sound that meal my downfall is bread and butter few rounds would Ave to go with it 👍
It doesn't look bad for the money. Say if you were on your own or wanted a quick meal. We're the Gareth we always have yorkshires it doesn't matter what meat you have. My husband likes mint sauce
Cheers Sandra 👍👍
was thinking, a bald foodie guy blooper video would be amazing
SPOT ON Lad! 👍
You can't beat home made Yorkshire pud
Agree Gareth hardly done veg is the worse 👎🏻 for the money this looks ok .
Mate roast potatoes crispy ones and yorkies are everything in a roast
