Roast Lemon & Garlic Chicken

A lovely meal - thank you! It's like going out for dinner but without having to get a babysitter! - Rosalind,NW5

Excellent meal ... we had the steak dinner for 2 - perfectly cooked steaks (how they managed that with delivery I have no idea), great side dishes, amazing dessert. Also really good value buying it all together like that. - Lan Yin,NW5

We began our meal with the buffalo wings, accompanied by a titillating home made coleslaw with a distinctly fruity flavor; most pleasing! The pan-fried duck was cooked to perfection, the sauce was subtly delightful and with just a soupcon of orange to tease the palette. Positively superior!Last but far from least, the oven roasted chicken provided a fantastic take on the conventional 'roast dinner genre', with a heart warming selection of humble but divine vegetables. A cut above the average to be sure! Abracadabra alakazam, for fantastic food Anthony's your man! - Owen,E2

The fillet of beef was some of the best I've ever tasted and the Moules marinière were fantastic. Highly recommended and can't wait to try some more of Anthony's cooking - Mark,N7

The meal arrived on time and was absolutely delicious! We had the roast chicken which was beautifully presented, with the poached pears for afterwards. - Carla,N7

Food was tasty and hot - way better than the average take away. The portions were very generous and excellent value for money. - Naomi,N5

We had the "dinner for 2", which was a delicious, hearty meal. The chicken was superb. Recommended. - Chris,N1

The dinner was delicious, and the portions extremely generous. I was so happy to be able to order something so nutritious and appetising. We shall be ordering again very soon. - Michelle,N1

Anthony's food was superb! When I read how much he was providing for a main course for a tenner, I could not work out how he was going to deliver it all. Lots of little pots all clearly labeled for each dish is how. And all delivered hot, by a very fit bicyclist. We had the chicken and the duck, both moist and succulent. I shall definitely be returning to Anthony's home cooking. Big hearty portions exactly as described. Thanks Anthony. - Tessa,NW1

On time and delicious. We'd had the chicken before, and the steak was just as good. - Joanna,N1

Great meal, nice big portions, will definitely order again. - Henry,EC1V

Prompt and piping hot, great sunday dinner. - Victoria,E2

Fantastic. Great food, on time and generous portions, and cheaper than my usual greasy takeaway! What a great idea. - Louise,N1

Would definitely use again! - Will,N5

the steak was cooked perfectly, but arrived less than luke warm. Thanks for being so accommodating regarding the 'no-carb' request and sending vegetables. The lemon pot was of a weird consistency, very grainy - not what I expected. Next time, I would order something different, that lends itself more to being delivered. - Carolin,N5

Perfect steak, potatoes and very tasty black pepper sauce. The lemon cheesecake was VERY yummy! - Gustaf,NW1

Delicious on time and very good value. Thank you v much will order from you again! - Coco,EC2A

I was very positively surprised! Great food and timely delivery. Cannot ask for more! - Sami,W1T

This was just the BEST delivery food. Very quick, very very delicious and amazing value. - Nirmesh,E2

Really enjoyed my meal overall. The meat was chunky with a good amount of bite to it and portions were generous. Anthony delivering the meal himself added a nice personal touch. Just a minor point, if the hog skin was crispier it would have been perfect. Regardless, it was a very satisfying meal and I'll definitely order from Anthony again! - Seng Hor,N1

All delicious and perfectly on time. If I had to pick holes - and you are asking me to - the roasties could have been crispier (my taste) and the beef rarer (my taste). Will def order again. The spicy aioli could have been spicier and garlickier too. This are minutiae. Better for a roast dinner than any local pub I've tried, and warmer and cheaper. - Rob,N5

Absolutely excellent food - and prompt too! - Katherine,EC4Y

Loads of food all really good. Arrived on time too - Joanna,N1

Amazing! The perfect steak dinner. - Paul,EC1Y

The food was tasty- far better than the average takeaway. However, one of the main courses was missing. After emailing in, I got a call back from Anthony apologising and the missing dish arrived, an hour late. My boyfriend had the sirloin steak and I had the sweet potato and wild mushroom cottage pie which was delicious but not as expected: there seemed to be much more tomato, pepper and aubergine than mushroom and the mashed sweet potato topping didn't seem to have been crisped in the oven as I had expected. However, technical problems aside it was a nice meal and clearly a skilled chef. - Dani,NW1

Fantastic Sunday Roast! Invited family round for a housebites dinner and everyone was seriously impressed with the food. They could not believe it was a takeaway - not just because it was delivered well on time, but because of the quality. Beef was very good. Great selection of vegetables. And then tasty dessert to round it all off (the chocolate lover particularly liked the chocolate sauce and sponge). Really well done. - Alexi,EC1Y

The poached salmon was cooked very well. The pan fried salmon was overcooked. The ceviche was not tasty and actually quite bland; it was not as fresh as I would have liked. The potatoes were good, but the green vegetables weren't very fresh. The bread and butter pudding was well executed. Overall the quality of the ingredients was decent, and the execution was average. I admit I am quite critical when it comes to food, so I'm sure this meal would please most people who are accustomed to the typical crappy food you find locally. This is a cut above what most takeaways would bring you. - MANSHUN,N1

. The chicken was delicious and the fish cakes and sweet potato were cooked to perfection. The ribs and chicken starter was superb and the coleslaw was probably the best I have ever tasted. It would have been nice to have some greens with the fish cakes - that is the only small criticism I have. We would definitely order again. Thank you! - Joanna,N5

Great healthy option. Wonderful flavour. Perfect portion size. - Jordan,N1

It wasn't actually delivered personally by the chef this time, but that doesn't matter; it was perfectly on time. My last meal from Anthony was so delicious that it would be difficult for this one to be as good. In fact, I'm being very picky. I felt that (and this is someone who likes salty food) my main course - probably the mash - was a bit oversalted. Otherwise, it was all excellent. My pudding (the pear bread-and-butter pudding) was really very good, and I was given a huge portion that will keep me going for a while! Anthony is definitely a great addition to the Islington area on Housebites. I always look out to see when he's cooking next. - Gwilym,N5

Excellent meal, my first time with Housebites. Exactly as promised, a cut above the usual takeaways. I'll be ordering again. - Chris,N1

Quality ingredients in generous proportions. The fish was perfectly cooked and the vegetables fresh. Altogether a very good meal and good value. - Sandrine,N1

Food was a bit late, but this was more than compensated by great additional plates that came for free! The bourguignon was very good, and so was the salmon. Will definitely re-try! Thanks!! - Riccardo,EC4A

Great way to start the weekend - Cheese Omelette and Pancakes with fresh blueberries, strawberries and maple syrup. - Alexi,EC1Y

Delicious, generous portions. The pancake breakfast was just fantastic. Delivered by the lovely Anthony himself. Will certainly be ordering again soon! - gina,EC1N

Pancakes were cold. Better packaging is required to keep food warm. - Luiz,W1D

Another hearty meal from Anthony - Chunky Potato and Leek Soup with bread, followed by a tasty Beef Bourguignon with mash, all finished off with an indulgent Sticky Toffee Pudding - will definitely be ordering again. - Alexi,EC1Y

Great service, personal touch and a very nice chef! Food was good too. - Lola,N7

Excellent food - would definitely recommend and will order again. The salmon three ways was particularly good. - Sean,WC1H

Good - Mike,N1

We really enjoyed our Valentine's feast, and loved the 3 ways salmon which was easily enough for two to share, especially with the salads ( which we weren't even expecting). I think Duck is quite a brave think to do on delivery and while tasty, especially with the plum sauce, think other dishes may transport better. All in all it was a great experience and i would order from the chef again for sure. - Isabella,NW1

The soup was really nice. The main courses somewhat disappointing - underseasoned and uninteresting. Would have liked to be enthusiastic but really cannot be. - Anna,N5

The food was very good. However it did arrive an hour after scheduled. The chef called to let me know, but it wasn't clear to me it would be that late. - Sabrina,E2

Really nice home-cooked food and plenty of it. My only suggestion would be maybe slightly less oil in the salad dressing next time, it was a bit drowned in it, but otherwise it was just like someone had popped round to cook in my kitchen! Friendly delivery service too, rather than the usual anonymous biker! - Michael,N1

Delicious! - gabby,N7

Excellent. Absolutely lovely. Nothing left on the plates. Very generous portions. Delicious! - Sophie,N7

Although Anthony was a bit late, the food was absolutely amazing! Anthony even delivered it himself - what a nice guy! He felt bad that he was late and gave us some extra salads and bits - so wonderful. Everything arrived hot and was absolutely delish. I'm American and it was so comforting to have pancakes just like home. The eggs benedict scrambled is awesome, and I could not get enough of the cumberland sausages! Omelette was perfectly cooked as was bacon. We will DEFINATELY be ordering again! - Abigail,NW1

It was great! - Tom,EC2A

Just ordered breakfast from Anthony and have to say I'm stunned. I've eaten at some great breakfast establishments and this beats them all! Hands down! A soft, golden and still hot omelette and thick but perfectly cooked American pancakes with the maple syrup in a separate pot. Ordered extra bacon and cumberland sausage on the side so now having left-overs for lunch too. Perfect morning. - Simon,EC2A

There were apparently some technical problems, which meant that my food was over an hour late, but I was kept up-to-date on progress, and - I must say - the food was worth the wait! I had chicken, and it was beautifully juicy and perfectly seasoned. Very impressive cooking indeed. My pear bread-and-butter pudding was also extremely tasty. It was all well presented and packaged, delivered by a friendly chef. - Gwilym,N5

Great meal once again from Anthony, thanks! Chicken breast was exceptionally good.. - Dan,EC2A

It is super , thanks very much indeed ! we will be back again for more ! - susan,N5

Excellent chicken and side vegetable (esp the greens). Soup was good, but more creamy than we had expected from the description. We will definitely order again. Thank you - John,N7

Nicely cooked salmon. Ravioli slightly light on mushroom filling, but spicy tomato sauce tasty. Nice green leaf and herb salad. Delivery was slightly later than later limit of time window, but chef kindly provided tasty complimentary desert in compensation. - Bill,NW5

The duck breast was absolutely amazing. In fact, I had to pinch some of my husbands. The chicken was dry, without much flavour. The meal was cold. However, it was only Chef Anthony's first night and I very much appreciate the fact that it was delivered to our door, so I am giving him a well deserved break. I'll be in touch with my next order soon. - jean,W1G

I ordered the chicken from Anthony and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour, you can really tell that he is a very experienced chef and I look forward to trying his food again soon. Another great addition to the growing housebites team. - Andy,N1
