Sainsbury's is my local supermarket. I live in Throckley, Newcastle upon Tyne. The staff there are the friendliest and most helpful shop workers I've ever come across.
If it serves 4, thats not actually that bad, 350g of meat a person is a decent portion as you could serve it with chips, boiled potatoes etc and get a sizable dinner. I think id buy it just for myself, and make 3 seperate dinners seeing as its packed seperately.
@@christianbuczko1481 Except its not. He weighed it at 1000g after cooking, including the bones. You can probably deduct another 50g to 100g for bones. You are getting 900 to 950g so between four that's only 230 grams each. Its pretty much decent for two but not four. So if for two that's £8 each. Still quite expensive for the amount you get.
Would have that between 2 people so £8 each … same as a nice size steak so could live with that. Not something most people would buy every week but as a treat not too shabby imo.
I actually had beef short rib last night. Homemade, eight pieces at about 3 and a 1/2 " Square and 2" deep, £11. Bones for stock were free from the same butcher, garlic ,celery, ginger, etc, about a pound and a £6 bottle of red; of which half was used. Runner beans and mash. This actually did feed four people, 😁. Again, the prices these days are extortionate, beef short rib is meant to be a cheap cut, hence the long cooking time. Thanks Gaz 😊. Like deployed 👍
I would like to thank you for doing these reviews of food whether it be cheap or expensive. As someone living on just a pension it pays to shop around but you save me time and money doing these reviews. Thanks again 👍. You gained a subscriber.
The weight includes the jouces you poured off. Such meals are intended to be about 1/3 to 1/4 of your daily calories, you would normally have carbs with a meal.
I do my weekly shop at aldi in kendal for some of the bargains then across to sainsburys for the finer things like the three trolly wide isles and their fresh bread.
Great review Gaz, it probably does serve 4 if you were to add sides eg mash, chips, rice or veg...looks very tasty though i must say, i'll have to pop down to Sainsburys and get this in time for the bbq weather!
If only Sainsbury's produced half that pack, then I might consider it. For a family treat it's not too bad divided between four. One would likely serve potatoes and other vegetables, or in a BBQ situation there would be salads and coleslaw to go with.
Top tip become a regular customer to your local butcher and they will look after you unlike supermarkets do, I've used my local butcher for over 20 years now and we have became friends,so we do occasionally meet up for a drink or two,or should I say we meat up for a drink or two 😂
Maybe food here is expensive but I don’t think that’s overly expensive . It’s all meat. You get something with 60% of chicken in a chicken pie and it’s say £5. I think it’s comparable. Here you are getting slow cooked meat 6hrs that costs to produce. So one portion is £8. How much for regurgitated Big Mac. Not a family meal but for a couple as a treat it’s acceptable as it’s clearly yummy.
Since the meat portions are wrapped separately, and depending upon shelf life, it should be possible to get three different meals out of this, cooking one meat portion per day (and saving enough sauce to last until the final portion). Add some potatoes and some nice greens each time.
Bought a Ninja woodfire back in November, for half the price of what it's going for now. Pricey outlay, initially, but it does stuff like this from scratch.
Great review Gaz you would expect the tray to be full for 4 people and 4 ribs at least it tasted nice which is always a plus and keep up with your great tasting 👍👍
Great to hear your appreciation of David's excellent gift again 👍Looks very nice but even split over 3 meals It's still too expensive for me. Minted lamb shanks all the way for me 😛
Spot On review as always Gareth, we'll I think it is evident,that not worth £16. Also just had a Cathedral City cheese burger (Iceland) that was good,also had the Cathedral City Cheese Dog good too! Please review cheese dog if you can
Sainsbury's food is notoriously expensive, *BUT* the quality is well worth the price! Check out some of their Premium sirloin and fillet - dear but Oh, SO, Yummy 😄 As I have said many times, I don't mind paying the expensive money as long as the quality is superb. Keep up the good work Gareth 👍
"smoked" on food packaging means misted (spray painted) with liquid smoke, good review of an overpriced product. An ideal product for the casual BBQ enthusiast (we're in that season now), go to your butchers and ask for £8 of brisket and £8 of beef short ribs 😉.
Only £13 and you got curry sauce. You were lucky. I live in Cornwall where we must have the country's most expensive fish and chips, my nearest is £17 just for a regular fish and chips. When I go to London, I can't believe how cheap take aways are. So on that basis I agree with you, I might get some today and put them on the barbie.
Just ordered one to be delivered along with a few other things for a £1 delivery, the price for this is £16.00 down to £10.66 if you have a nectar card (you can get instore) but the deal ends tomorrow so best be quick for anyone wanting to try one.
Hi Gareth, just been to Sainsburys to get one. They are now selling for £14 or £9.33p if you have a nectar card. Can't wait to try ours and yours looked scrummy.
Forgetting the fact that it's supposed to feed four, I think for two people - it's a bargain. Where else are you going to get that much tasty meat for less than £8 a head? Thanks Baldy, I think I'll give this one a try.
By the time you add 2 or 3 side salad dishes and lettuce that would be more than enough to eat without worrying about cholesterol or obesity. Perfect portion for 4 people. At the end of the day a bbq is usually a treat so the cost is in proportion.
Thank you for that. It sounded delicious…but was it value for the money? I like VFM. I think I may dodge this for as a serving for 4 ..the Hubster would woof it down as one portion.
I saw this in Sainsbury’s this we and took a double take! I don’t think it’s enough for 4 people! And to be honest I wasn’t prepared to pay £16 for it. Good review as always. 😃👍
With the plastic wrappers I use I one test, if it crispy it doesn't go in the recycle bin, soft or hard does. Half decent meat especially slow cooked it opens your eyes to the normal rubbish supermarkets sell us. Sixteen quid mind that's got to be a Christmas one.
Even fort 2 people (and a bit left for a sandwich the next day) its not bad if its that good, £8 a head plus maybe a corn on the cob and a side salad. Or 2 meals for 2 so a measly £4 a head. For me its not just the price, if its good its worth paying, its when its expensive and rubbish that i really get annoyed at.
Most of us are willing to shell out a bit extra for a "luxury" meal now and then if we have a few quid to spare. We all deserve a little treat occasionally. 👍
It'd have to be for special occasions only I'm afraid, like royal visits or meeting an alien ambassador or similar. As delicious as it looked £16 is a bit rich for me. Shame really, I love BBQ anything really. Perhaps they ought to do half the size for £8.
Interested to see how people on a budget eating habits will be affected by the government changes coming up. I think some people will have to learn to cook for themselves to save the extra cash.
You could get a joint of Brisket from Lidl for £10/12 cooked in Guinness in a slow cooker with a Knorr stock pot and use the stock to make the gravy and it would do 4 people. Most probably tasted nice but £16 for what you get they are having a laugh.
16 quid I'll pass on that I'm off on Friday to an Indian restaurant all the trimmings 22 quid rather pay the extra 6 quid for a sit down meal I don't have to cook, thanks for the review anyway 😊
I would NOT pour off the juices! If anything, save the juices to make a gravy, perhaps for another, separate meal.
The only way that serves 4 is if the other three don't turn up.
Careful with the Platters the smoke can get in your eyes
HaHa! Silly boy!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I see what you did there. Or I did before the smoke.....
Groooooooooooooooooooooan🙄

Sainsbury's is my local supermarket. I live in Throckley, Newcastle upon Tyne. The staff there are the friendliest and most helpful shop workers I've ever come across.
They are shop assistants.
If you ask me it probably tastes really nice but £16 I don’t think it worth it ( just my opinion) great vid Gaz

if you got a nectar card its £10 so thats not too bad better then 16 lol
The lamb tagine from the same range at Sainsburys is amazing, have had it twice in the last couple of weeks.
Would have that between 2 people so £8 each … same as a nice size steak so could live with that. Not something most people would buy every week but as a treat not too shabby imo.
Sainsbury's living by ...
' the miracle of the five loaves and two fish ' !
And they were free!
Jesus didn’t have a nectar card

Serves 2 I would think. False advertising or they are portions for children. 😊😊. Dry would suit me. I don’t like gravy.

At 12:05 my wife thought i was watching porn with those noises.
It’s a little bit dry! 😂😂😂
But tasty 😂
And were you?!
It is, it's food porn.
Joking aside I never play Gaz’s videos in earshot of my kids for that very reason.
Yes three vegetarians and me🤣
Too bloody true barely enough to feed a mouse 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Now, this is my kinda scram 😍 great choice. Thanks. I definitely will be buying this, but just for myself 😅 that ain't feeding 4ppl 😂
Thank goodness! I literally bought one of these a couple of days ago, with nectar discount (£10?). Looking forward to it even more now 👍
Awesome, I always shop Sainsbury, never seen this, yet, but will eyes out for this, imagine with home made garlic Chiappetta
Thank you for spreading your wings to Sainsbury's Gareth!
What a really informative review Gareth... Glad you are treating yourself to a fantastic meal... A bit expensive but you get top quality products.
I think David has been thanked enough for the scales by now mate.
Haha, I’d be disappointed after all this time if Gaz didn’t name check David 😂🤣
Not nearly enough!
Legend has it.. David started his own scales manufacturing company 😂
£16? That's a ridiculous price and as it claims to serve 4 no way unless they had miniscule appetites just enough in there for 2 people at the most
It’s £10 with a nectar card. Nobody is paying £16
Standard Tesco beef brisket joint is £11 per KG, so this (precooked with sauce) isn't much more at £16 for 1.4 KG
I've lived in Spain for the last 11 years. Made a trip back to the UK last year. First time over since 2019. Prices have gone up so much in that time.
These are cheap cuts of meat.... not worth it.... but it from the butcher and make it yourself...... quite easy if you have the time....
@@aleclinley5136 Waste of time you could spend working.
Great video 👍. Definitely wouldn’t pay £16 as looked delicious but wouldn’t feed four people depending on how hungry they are 😊
I’d could eat that on my own let alone serve four lol. Great vid Gareth.
After that Lidl Hot Dog sandwich of a few days ago I think you deserve a treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do my weekly shop at aldi in kendal for some of the bargains then across to sainsburys for the finer things like the three trolly wide isles and their fresh bread.
Expensive, but i think id buy it as its packed seperately and it would make 3 seperate meals for myself.
It works out fairly cheap if split over a few days...
Good lad. Cracking review - I need to try it now. (Thanks for your brilliant videos 😊)
No problem 👍
Oo my husband wanted to buy that ! I will let him know your thoughts and thanks for sharing
£16? I could dine out for that 😂😂😂. Once again, thanks for these reviews. You are saving people a fortune ❤❤❤
It’s a bargain at £10 with a nectar card. Eat in and save a fortune
should of got it for £10 with a nectar card my man ! im going to give this a try thanks for the video
Great review Gaz, it probably does serve 4 if you were to add sides eg mash, chips, rice or veg...looks very tasty though i must say, i'll have to pop down to Sainsburys and get this in time for the bbq weather!

I love Sainsbury’s, Not being a big meat eater I wouldn’t buy but it looked flavoursome and you could tell you enjoyed it, thanks for. The review❤
Wow 3 years already. I'm been following you since the start. Another brilliant review matey. mind you no way that serves four.
Since the meat portions are wrapped separately, and depending upon shelf life, it should be possible to get three different meals out of this, cooking one meat portion per day (and saving enough sauce to last until the final portion). Add some potatoes and some nice greens each time.
Price not too bad considering what you get. You certainly seemed to enjoy it! Keep up the good work mate.
Thanks 👍
Thx dave
Nice review
Looks nice! Like you said it is a treat. Only £10.66 with nectar card. Def gonna get one.
That looked very tasty
I would definitely have for treat

So you bought some good food for eating and not feeding Dusty bin. Nice one M8.
Spot On review as always Gareth, we'll I think it is evident,that not worth £16.
Also just had a Cathedral City cheese burger (Iceland) that was good,also had the Cathedral City Cheese Dog good too! Please review cheese dog if you can
Sainsburys went down the pan years ago. 16 quid for that! They are having a bloody laugh! Total rip off and they know it.
That would do just for me Gareth,I'm salivating here just looking at that plateful,looks so good,another really enjoyable video big pal
Thanks 👍
A bit too dear for our purse, but I bet that was good😍 Thanks for trying it, Gareth🥰
You’re welcome 😊

It's around 12 quid with a nectar card, get one if you plan more Sainsbuty's visits, I have not tried this yet, thanks for reviewing.
"smoked" on food packaging means misted (spray painted) with liquid smoke, good review of an overpriced product. An ideal product for the casual BBQ enthusiast (we're in that season now), go to your butchers and ask for £8 of brisket and £8 of beef short ribs 😉.
The co op near me recycles that plastic and crisp packets etc. Thanks for the video buddy 👍
Edit, im in Luton
To put it in perspective I paid over 13 pounds for fish, chips and a curry sauce tonight which makes this product look almost affordable!
Only £13 and you got curry sauce. You were lucky. I live in Cornwall where we must have the country's most expensive fish and chips, my nearest is £17 just for a regular fish and chips. When I go to London, I can't believe how cheap take aways are. So on that basis I agree with you, I might get some today and put them on the barbie.
im off to sainsburys 🤣 looks great
Wouldn't serve four in my house😂, I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry at that price

Looks good
Hi Gareth, just been to Sainsburys to get one. They are now selling for £14 or £9.33p if you have a nectar card. Can't wait to try ours and yours looked scrummy.
Oh great mate that's cheaper
Forgetting the fact that it's supposed to feed four, I think for two people - it's a bargain.
Where else are you going to get that much tasty meat for less than £8 a head?
Thanks Baldy, I think I'll give this one a try.
Good BBQ is good BBQ, it can't be faked.
Great review as always Gareth but a bit too expensive and never enough for 4
Did the box have an E on it after the weight because that means it can be less than the weight claimed on the box
that looks lovely cheers
The smokey flavour is mostly from LIQUID SMOKE.
By the time you add 2 or 3 side salad dishes and lettuce that would be more than enough to eat without worrying about cholesterol or obesity. Perfect portion for 4 people. At the end of the day a bbq is usually a treat so the cost is in proportion.
Thank you for that. It sounded delicious…but was it value for the money? I like VFM. I think I may dodge this for as a serving for 4 ..the Hubster would woof it down as one portion.
The sauce packet reminds me of a Glenville Ice Pop!
£16 might seem expensive, but you do get 1.4kg. lamb chops in Morrisons are £15 a kilo, so not so bad if you consider it's been pre smoked and cooked.
I’ve never heard of a burnt end! Looks lovely though
It’s a big un! Sorry, i love a good innuendo 😂
I saw this in Sainsbury’s this we and took a double take! I don’t think it’s enough for 4 people! And to be honest I wasn’t prepared to pay £16 for it. Good review as always. 😃👍
It’s £10 with nectar you nutcase and is massive
I’d consider paying half.
I have something called liquid smoke, you add it to fried meat for the last few min cooking, tastes like smokey grill , wood fired.
Is that hair see-through colour? If it were me I’d have chosen the dark brown.
With the plastic wrappers I use I one test, if it crispy it doesn't go in the recycle bin, soft or hard does. Half decent meat especially slow cooked it opens your eyes to the normal rubbish supermarkets sell us. Sixteen quid mind that's got to be a Christmas one.
You would think Sainsburys could spell 'thoroughly' properly @2:55.
Even fort 2 people (and a bit left for a sandwich the next day) its not bad if its that good, £8 a head plus maybe a corn on the cob and a side salad. Or 2 meals for 2 so a measly £4 a head.

16 Nicker pmsl🤣🤣not heard that for years, good vid tho as usual
Can't eat the bone? Kids are crying, cheers Gareth! We were looking forward to having a right good crunch with some tasty marrow to finish off with.
I think I would buy this Gareth,but,no way for four people,more like two or just one 😋👍
It seems expensive but compared to the price of a takeaway for 2 people, I’d say it’s pretty reasonable. With some wraps and coleslaw, lovely
Its good but like you said no alot mybe abetter deal at butchers.
Out of my price range but looks 😋. hope you enjoy your booze up in ulverston 👍
For £10.66 nectar price its really good, i do hope you didnt pay the full £16 for it.
Worth every penny. Slow cooked meat is so good.
Was tasty
Looks yummy 😋
Get it down you, Gareth enjoy you deserve it mate
Cheers mate
Have you tried aldi gammon shank in maple syrup sauce rather tast , with dauphinue spuds ( sliced spuds baked in milk and cream)
Not yet
Nice Vid Garath..Serves four?..I bet a lot of blokes would have that on its own as a meal
Isn't brisket the cheapest cuts?
Good video Gaz
