Always the highest restaurant quality ingredients / meals. I buy the large prawns regularly and just got a box of scallops! Simply stunning!! Our delivery guy is so nice and knowledgable ( Tom - Bedfordshire area ) ! Highly recommend.

I bought a box of Dusted Sole fillets, and also Smoked Haddock about 3 months ago. Both were of spectacular quality and I shared them around my family who totally agree!! Have just bought the Maple Loin Steaks, and Chicken Parcels - can't wait!

Consistently excellent food, delivered by a nice chap, Fineas, who is friendly and courteous. No pushy sales, just good food - repeat customers, the fish and fishcakes we ordered last time were delicious, likewise the steaks and curried chicken breast - this time the lamb Wellingtons look and smell amazing. Can't wait to try them!

I had a box of the skinned Salmon fillets, a first time purchase from this company. Good quality fish. Excellent taste and cooks well. Price very comparable with Tesco where I usually buy Salmon.

Pam Bosse

12:44 20 Aug 24

We have purchased many boxes over recent years and the quality is very good. We always have King Prawns and Boneless Salmon but have also tried many other boxes as well including a Christmas Selection box. Gary never forgets us, he always turns up when he says he will and is so very helpful in letting me see inside the boxes so that I can make my choices and bringing them indoors for me. This time I had five boxes; we are trying the British Wellingtons Selection (a new item I believe) that look absolutely fabulous and we will have this weekend. Another new item (for us) was the Battered Sweet Soy Chicken Goujons. Finally we had another box of Salt and Chilli Chicken Goujons which wasn’t available last time so I was pleased that it was still available and something delicious for a quick meal. Thank you Gary (and DSD).

We've been ordering food from DSD for a few years now and the quality is always excellent. There is a very good selection covering a wide variety of tastes and it makes life in the kitchen so much easier. Can't recommend this company enough and our particular thanks go to Anthony. He is always friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and conscientious and often goes the extra mile.

Dining Solutions Direct delivers exceptional high-end food that our family absolutely loves. Their steak and ale pies are fantastic, and my daughter can’t get enough of the orange and lemon sorbets – they’re truly delightful.Special mention to our sales representative, John. He’s incredibly charming and charismatic, always making our experience enjoyable without any pressure. His enthusiasm and genuine personality make us look forward to every purchase.

We have been getting our frozen salmon from Dining Solutions Direct for 10 years now! Tracy can deliver your order within a few days, the salmon is delicious and big portions. I would highly recommend this company.

Tracy is always available when you need to order, and there to advise on products. Always delivers promptly, keeps you updated if delayed in traffic. Tracy been providing us with delicious and excellent meat and fish products for quite few years now. Always has a smile and always a pleasure to see her. Even goes above and beyond her role eg Tracy arrived with order and my husband had just left in ambulance with suspected heart attack, I wasn't allowed to go an no family around. Tracy stayed and made me a cuppa and sat with me, til I calmed down. Products are always high quality, so much to choose from! Love the scampi and chicken bites. Always look forward to Tracy coming with my order.

william lok

11:28 30 Jun 24

Tracey has been coming to me for a few years now and she’s always been great to provide a wide range of selection of meat, fish and desserts. I especially love the meat selection and there’s so much to choose from. Tracey is always helpful and on hand to come round whenever asked. Definitely recommend.

07:36 30 Jun 24

Thank you to Tracy who knocked on my door she was very polite and respectful. I've never brought anything like this before on the door step. The food quality is 100%. Perfect. The cod and chicken are highly recommended. I will definitely be buying again.

Dave Swift

17:32 22 May 24

Fantastic quality food to your door. The range of products is amazing and caters for all events in the year too. Cannot recommend highly enough, take a look and place an order - you won't regret it!

Carol Beedie

13:27 18 May 24

I have just purchased my second box of king prawns! Oh my word - they are beautiful. I think they are good value too bearing in mind how many meals we got out of them!! Kind of regretting I didn't get scallops as well now - probably next time.

Lynne McBride

09:44 19 Apr 24

We have had several different products now and have been really pleased with each of them. We have bought both fish and meat, including the Christmas pack, and the quality of all has been excellent. As each portion can be used individually straight from the freezer, the meals are so easy to prepare and there is absolutely no waste. And the taste is delicious. Peter delivers regularly to our area, right to our doorstep. It’s always good to see him and he offers great advice about what we might like to buy , as well as knowing our favourites.

sally henwood

19:15 10 Apr 24

John is a very polite and friendly salesman, we’ve got to know him well as he’s been coming to us for over 10 years! He tells us about any new products that might be of interest to us . The products are all of a very high quality. We would recommend him and the frozen food he sells to anyone!

Michael Beckett

18:27 05 Apr 24

I get my products from Antony [ant(151)]. He is both enthusiastic and polite. I particularly enjoy salmon fillets, Wessex Sirloin steaks, Venison Steaks, Seafood Wellingtons, Salt and pepper squid, fish cakes and various preparations if duck breast. All products are easy to cook and taste delicious. Minted lamb steaks were also particularly good.

nicola lacey

13:44 23 Mar 24

Fantastic Service from Ant(1519). Food is of high quality. Service very professional. Listens to our needs. Anthony has been delivering to us over the 12 months. I'm always excited to see what is in his van for inspiration and ideas. 5star rating for the food. Didn't think it could get any better until the Green Mussells arrive. WOW WOW WOW. The best we've ever tasted.

Very pleased. We always look forward to seeing what Mike Brown has on offer when he calls! Very friendly and lovely to do business with.

First time I have used dining solutions so look forward to trying out their salmon and bass. Very cooperative delivery person (sorry didn’t get your name. Next time) who was very helpful.

Lynn Strickland

12:33 20 Feb 24

We received a great service today from Andy Crane (1351). He is very friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. Thanks Andy. The food is delicious, we are regular customers and our favorites include the Seafood Wellington, battered cod and Goan chicken. We can definitely reccomend. I must add that the Turkey Crown at Christmas was excellent and the Christmas Meat box was wonderful value and superb quality joints.

Jane Emery

11:45 29 Jan 24

I have been using Anthony (1519) from Dining Solutions Direct for many years and have never had a problem with any products I have bought from him. I have bought a lot! The products are always superb, my usual buys are salmon, cod, monkfish, smoked haddock etc. all to use in my cooking. I have now started to buy finished 'ready to eat' food too and these have not disappointed at all. I can't wait to try my most recent purchase, the smoked haddock, salmon and cheddar fishcakes - great for when I don't actually want to cook. If these are as good as the Seafood Wellingtons then we are in for a treat. Anthony is always so helpful and if he doesn't have a product on board that I really would like, then he does try his best to get it for me within a few days. I can't recommend Anthony and Dining Solutions Direct enough.1519

Chris Walker

16:44 19 Jan 24

I've been buying from DSD for a couple of years now. The quality of the food is exceptionally good. However, understandably, the price has been steadily increasing as time has gone on and it is not a cheap experience. I'd recommend looking at the website and choosing what you want, then letting the salesman deliver your request. It saves time and money.

Chris Burgess

13:45 13 Jan 24

After four or five orders I feel that I'm in the position to make an informed review, first and foremost is the quality which in my opinion is superb when defrosted there is little or no water from which ever you use. I have purchased numerous boxes which I have enjoyed with my family and friends.

John Jenkins

21:51 01 Dec 23

Great frozen products! Everything we have had so far has been top quality and very tasty. The presentation is good, well packed and delivered with a smile from our Rep Andy 1524

Susan Ayre

15:14 20 Nov 23

I would highly recommend this company for its high quality tasty food, They are very helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for them, Everything is well presented and we enjoy the products very much, we have a few favourites but the range on offer is amazing so you never get bored. We have brought from this company for over twenty years and the services we have received is brilliant,

Skipper Dando

16:30 03 Nov 23

Thank you Andy Rose, for knocking on my door a few months back. I'm very fussy on what my body consumes and I rarely write reviews unless it's well earned. Well presented clean food, superb quality and very tasty and so much better than that supermarket tosh that one normally drives to purchase.Its like stepping back in time when Andy arrives as he always has words to brighten up your day, just like your local butcher/fishmonger years ago. Always checking in to see how you are.

Elisa Grande

11:35 27 Oct 23

Today we were lucky enough to have had Richard dropping in showing off the amazing products that he was selling, very kind and caring person, I was delighted to see the salt and pepper squids. Everything looks of very high quality. Can't wait to try more products and looking forward to next visit from Richard.

Bruce Macmillan

21:43 11 Oct 23

We’ve been ordering from DSD for around 18 months now and the food has been incredible! Without exception, everything we’ve tried so far has been amazing. We have a few favourites that we always order like the minted lamb and squid for the kids but recently had the Coquilles st. jacques (I have honestly never heard of it before) and it was just unbelievable! Unfortunately this is all that’s left, I couldn’t stop eating for long enough to take a photo. 😁Thanks Mikey for the brilliant service and great recommendations 👍

Julie Thackray

15:55 01 Oct 23

We have enjoyed high quality fish and meat from Dining Solutions for several years. Shanan responds promptly and always delivers great frozen produce as arranged. He provides a professional service with a smile which we highly recommend.

Great !!!Fresh food delivered right to your door and tases amazing 🤩.Best fish and chicken I’ve ever tasted.

Amy

17:30 14 Aug 23

Wonderful frozen produce, we get something different every time! The fish cakes are delicious and it’s lovely to feed my family with something that’s easy to throw in the oven but you know it’s excellent quality! It’s such a bonus as well that it’s at your doorstep and always friendly and polite customer service. Definitely recommend 👍🏻

Janet mills

11:34 20 Jul 23

Great products. Excellent efficient service from Mikey (5176), who always goes the extra mile to make sure we’re happy with our order. He came round at 9pm to deliver something before his holiday the following day.

James Roberts

07:59 12 Jun 23

Amazing service. Our exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly representative (Mike 5176) never fails in his detailed descriptions of all the meals on offer. They truly are a cut above and just like a first class restaurant meal.It’s always a pleasure to see Mike arrive in our street.

John

11:19 22 May 23

My wife and I have been regular customers for many years. We highly recommend you trying any of the fish and sea food options. You won’t be disappointed as the quality and taste are perfect.If fish isn't your thing then try their meat products as everything we have purchased has the fresh tastes and flavours we remember when there were good butchers on the High Street.Tracy, our local representative is always on hand to suggest new things and delivery times are excellent.

Pamela Skeggs

21:18 29 Apr 23

Today Dan introduced himself and the Company, Dining Solutions, to us. He was very pleasant and explained about the Company and then started to show us the goodies. Dan and the products were all so well presented and we wouldn’t normally just buy like this on the spur of the moment but Dan wasn’t pushy in any way and the food looked so good. So, we purchased two items, Cod Loins in crisp light batter and Chicken Breast Fillets in Crispy southern Fried Coating. Well, that was our evening meal decided and it was lovely, I had the fish my husband the chicken, there’s no photograph, it would be just two empty plates.There are just two of us normally to eat so we wouldn’t buy large amounts but we would definitely like to try some of the other items that Dan had to show us. There was nothing to do except put the meal together, Dining Solutions meat or fish was all beautifully prepared and ready to go. Well done you.

Marion Palmann

19:33 24 Apr 23

I can’t speak highly enough of the sumptuous quality of the fish we have enjoyed from this company. I love fish, but we live many miles away from a supermarket and that type of produce is fifth rate next to this. I am very glad to have this kind of fabulous produce and such an inspiring range brought to our door.

Carol Bloomfield

15:29 24 Mar 23

I am so pleased that I responded to a knock on my door one day last year while living in Bodmin. Andy Crane showed me the meat/fish the company had to offer so I had no choice but to give it a try and I was hooked after that. Andy came regularly and I've bought several different boxes of the meat and none of it has disappointed. We moved further south west and are delighted that Andy comes here regularly too. He is so pleasant, isn't pushy trying to sell the products (which sell themselves anyway) and is a pleasure to see each time. Thank you Dining Solutions for such delicious food and a pleasant representative.

Norma Cousin

11:49 14 Mar 23

We've been using Dining Solutions Direct for 2 years now and in that time not one of the meals we have tried has disappointed us. Ever since Tony(1519) turned up on our doorstep he has enthusiastically suggested meals we might like to try. He is an asset to your company with his friendly and cheerful demeanour and we look forward to his visits... and his recommendations.

Helen Millward

18:27 25 Feb 23

Tracy 893 is has amazing customer service. She is never pushes her sales on me and has complete understanding. The food is amazing and great quality. The taste of the food is unbelievable there is a whole range of food available even for those who are not a lover of fish thank you I can't wait to try more!

As a family, we have been enjoying meat and fish from Dining Solutions Direct for over 2 years now. We were first introduced to the products when rep Colin knocked one summer and caught me in the right mood to try something new, tempting me in to buying a box of Wagyu beer burgers. We have never looked back and Colin is always courteous and knowledgeable, keen to show all of his great products and take the time to actually talk, not just rush through the sale. We often buy simple chicken boxes for our 2 young kids but honestly, I’d happily buy and try everything these guys sell as it all looks so good! The Christmas joint box we bought at the end of last year was a particular treat with a large Turkey crown, Gammon, Beef Joint AND some high quality sausages jam-packed into a box that served the entire extended family for several days. Today I’ve bought something a bit new: some Chicken Tikka Kebabs and some Cornflake coated chicken that I’m sure the family will love. Great products, great delivery service, highly recommended!

Soaf Wyatt

13:20 15 Feb 23

We have been using Dining Solutions Direct for around 2 years, and we love it. Very convenient and a great selection of meat and fish available - I'm gluten intolerant and there's even plenty of choice even for me! The items individually are more expensive than you'd get in a supermarket, but they truly are better quality and taste. Mike Brown is our local representative and he's so friendly as well as informative - he always has great suggestions on how to cook things and remembers our preferences.

Vanessa Snowdon

11:35 15 Feb 23

We thoroughly recommend Dining Solutions - the food is absolutely delicious! Our salesman is Marius (5012) is a delight. He is chatty, warm and very knowledgable on the foods he is selling. He gives us loads of tips on how to cook something perfectly, and what to add to it (I keep telling him he needs to write his recipes into a book!). When we had our first visit I was worried about how we would get a box load of food into our freezer - that said, if you just take out the food and leave in the bags, it isn't a problem. We have had two visits now from Marius and have tried both meat and fish dishes, all are first class and so easy to cook, and he is brilliant. Takes loads of time, and is not pushy at all. See you soon Marius.

Claire Fox

17:10 08 Feb 23

Great service and food always tastes amazing. Colin is always very helpful and friendly and recommends different products to try. I love the king prawns and sea bass and the kids love the southern fried chicken goujons. Would highly recommend

Claire Scarborough

15:52 25 Oct 22

What a find! We've been incredibly impressed with the quality and selection, which have all tasted divine. Although a bit pricey, the quality is outstanding and far superior than you'd ever get from a supermarket. We've also struck gold with our rep, Andy, who is incredibly courteous, knowledgeable and a joy to speak to. Plus he gives some great cooking tips! Very happy customers (and a very full freezer!).

Laura shaw

Mikey Rep 5176 has been popping by every 3 months. The food is delicious! Tastes freshly made and packed with good quality ingredients and is the perfect stay at home treat. We LOVE the steak and ale pies and fish cakes with cheddar inners are an absolute hit on a cold winter’s night when everyone is tired. Can’t recommend enough

Stephanie Quinlan

07:47 06 Sep 22

Michael is always very friendly and enthusiastic. The fish I buy is delicious and excellent value. Although I don't tend to buy the recipie dishes as I like to prepare them myself, they always look delicious. Would definitely recommend but make room in your freezer first!

Okailey Dua

09:50 04 Aug 22

Love the food! Always good quality and taste absolutely delicious. We have had a variety of goodies - Tandoori chicken kebabs, BBQ meat selection, carvery selection and my favourite salt and pepper squid. Once you’ve had DSD’s meats and fish, the shop bought stuff will never taste the same. Always look forward to Tom’s visits - he’s friendly and polite, always a pleasure chatting to him whilst enticing me with tasty food. Thanks.

Pampa Sarkar

22:18 02 Aug 22

Mikey (5176) brings us absolutely amazing products. We tend to buy fish and sea food. The salmon supreme and king prawns are excellent and very tasty on cooking, and we have ordered these items a number of times. Mikey is an excellent sales person, encouraging but never pushy and is happy to run with what the family's tastes and wishes. He will come on relatively short notice when our supplies run out before expected!!A definite 5* for Mikey (5176).

David Kelley

06:46 05 Jul 22

Thank you to Mikey for coming to visit while you were in the village.He had an excellent selection from the Dining Solutions range on board.Grateful to him for his advice based on his comprehensive knowledge of the equally comprehensive range.We bought nine boxes and have, so far, tried three of these. Delighted with all but the Seafood Wellingtons are outstanding!New freezer arriving today so that I will be able to order even more...

Anthony Goodchild

19:49 30 Jun 22

Rep 5176. Great service. The chap was very polite and not too pushy, which I liked. Bought some individual steak and ale pies which were delicious and my husband loved them. Also bought some waygu beef burgers for the bbq and these were delicious as well. Got some prawns because I loved the size - not small!! Will definitely be using them again. Will be looking forward to trying some of the other products they have to offer 👍. I’m a very happy customer - Lee Ric-Hansen

James Chandler

08:27 30 Jun 22

Tried a BBQ box from Mike5176 and the meat was absolutely delicious - particularly the kebabs and steaks - will definitely be ordering again.Mike really knows his stuff as well, had no trouble answering any questions about his stock. I look forward to trying some of the other boxes.

Ruby Kiruba

10:39 04 Feb 22

As a first time buyer, the food has been absolutely amazing. Tried the duck spring rolls which were so good (definitely going to re-order another box).I am not usually a fan of pastry type foods but the chicken purse and the chicken pancetta wellingtons were top notch - loved the fact that there is proper good chicken inside.Thanks Mike (5176) for the food recommendations. Looking forward to sampling some new products like the duck confit as well as the raw prawns 🌟🌟

Been using dining solutions food for years now and always enjoyed the quality and convenience of their productsAs soon as the lockdown was imposed we filled our freezer to ensure that even if we couldn’t go out to eat we could at least eat food of the same quality at home10 out of 10 for quality and service

Chris Ratcliff

17:57 07 Nov 19

I have been working with this company for over 12 yrs, and I have to say it has been the best job choice I have made. The food supplied is of the highest quality having eaten a lot of the products myself. This is a very professional company with structure and forward thinking management. I certainly recommend anyone looking to get out of the 9 to 5 rat race to pick up the phone and give DSD a call. I did and I haven't looked back.

Ian Brimacombe

19:41 01 Mar 19

So glad I found dining Solutions Direct when a rep called the other day my eyes light up with all the good food and so much more to tryKerry the rep was outstandingSo looking forward when my freezer is empty to fill it back up with top quality food and not the boring supermarket frozen foodI’ll let you know when I do

Dear Anthony, the chicken wellington was excellent and your tips regarding its cooking proved very successful, thank you. The chicken kievs were simply delicious. I am looking forward to your next visit.

Chrissie Allen

Thank you for the excellent products you sold me. I have now tried them all and must confess the quality is superb, with the added benefit of easily cooked direct from the freezer in a matter of 30 minutes. An idea solution to being out all day or just fancying something special.Save
