Lailas Fine Foods - Blackpool

I've never reviewed a food company on here before but I just had to warn others.
We just tried the most disgusting ready meal ever! Laila's 'Fine' Foods Family 'Favourites' tomato & mozzarella pasta family meal.
Full of water! Literally swimming in it. Hard uncooked pasta, barely any cheap nasty cheese, and utterly tasteless - other than the sour taste of uncooked tomato.
For us not to eat a pasta dish, it has to be seriously bad - the entire thing went in the bin! Wasted £5 plus more for the extra cheese we added to try and make it look even vaguely like the photo on the box! I now know to avoid this company's disgusting food in future!

Don't bother buying their ready meals. The packaging fell to bits in the microwave and ruined the meal that my 8 year old was looking forward to eating.

Second time I have had chef select roast chicken meal. After first time said I would never buy again and not realising bought from Lidl again mistakingly!
Don’t know what they use for the gravy but all you taste is vinegar, awful, both times had to throw away meal. Not sure who tastes food to approve production !!!

Good evening

I was so looking forward to enjoying the Chicken, King Prawn and Chorizo Paella.
Disappointed to see it contained 2 prawns and 4 small chicken pieces and a few pieces of the sausage! It was tasty but the main items were lacking to say the least.
Please do find attached cardboard strip.

Kind regards

I've been eating the curries supplied by Laila's and sold through Lidl's under the Chef Select brand for several years. It amazed me how they can supply such a good tasting curry and rice at such a low price and with no dodgy ingredients. I would have happily paid another 50p for this product however more recently the recipe appears to have changed and it's now quite common to have chicken pieces with unpleasant sinew still attached so I'm sorry to say the standard has dropped and this makes me want to look elsewhere my Curries.

As a pensioner every penny counts nowadays. Ive just had my 1st roast beef dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definatley recommend to family and friends and be stocking my freezer.

Going to load there in artic quite easy in the early hours IE 2-4 am. No traffic on the roads and the yard is usually empty. Can spin round with 40 ft trailer no problem. Loading bay so manual loading as before. Easy to find

Walked out after 5 hours on my first shift.
Bullying by staff, none English speaking.
Within half hour I got poked in the chest and was shouted at in very bad English "hurry up hurry up you slow".
Also unsafe working conditions, floor was very slippy and food all over it.
Saw 1 worker pick some chicken up off the floor and put it in a ready meal container. Also saw staff picking their noses and fingers in mouths then continue to handle food.
I'm putting a complaint in to ACAS about the bullying and work ethics of the place.
I will never eat anything from that place and I strongly suggest you don't either.
