Warm Poached Salmon Salad

Thanks for a great dinner whilst watching the Olympics Opening Ceremony! - Tessa,NW1

It was amazing!!!! A real proper meal that was delicious in everyday. We had the roast chicken meal for two, which was nicely seasoned. We even got two of the different desserts, both of which were divine. Can't wait to order again!! - Rubina,N1

Extremely generous portions, healthy and fresh. Potatoes a bit on the bland side but hey - adding salt isn't much of a chore. - yasmin,N1

The meal arrived 1hr 50 minutes after I ordered it. I ordered 4 portions, only 2 were delivered, so 2 people went hungry. Customer support people were unable to resolve the situation or provide replacement food. - Tom,EC2A

Absolutely perfect in every way. - Valerie,N1

It was the first time we ordered and were really happy with the quality of the service. The delivery was right on time, the food was very tasty and the portion size was more than enough. - Pedro,N1

Tasty meal delivered in the promised time slot. Generous portion size, particularly the salads. - John,WC1H

This was our first time ordering from Housebites and we were pleasantly surprised with our meal. It arrived within the time slot and was piping hot. Perfectly cooked chicken, potatoes and a really generously sized and interesting salad. We didn't love the salad dressing which seemed a little too oily. We would suggest some kind of sauce and/or fresh herbs to be served with the chicken as it perhaps needs some colour (and a little extra flavour) to the plate. We're about to eat our dessert (sticky toffee pudding) which looks fantastic! We would suggest some tweaking to the web to make it clearer/easier on how to order these as part of the meal (we added our request in the delivery comments section). But we will be ordering again! Thank you Anthony! Fantastic! - Charlotte,EC1V

Very tasty! - David,E8

The salt and pepper squid salad is amazing! Tender chicken and generous portions of vegetables: almost too much for one meal. But only almost.... - Lynn,NW5

Sliders and the surf and turf were delicious - absolutely perfectly cooked and very high quality. Chips tasted great but I imagine would be much better fresh - chips in general don't travel that well. All in all, very happy and would order again from Anthony. - Henry,N4

The salta and pepper squid salad was amazing: great texture and flavour. Chicken burger hit the spot - and there were enough chips to feed an army, although I managed most of them single-handed. - Lynn,NW5

Great bourgignon!! - Niamh,N1

The dinner was exceptional. After realizing it was Independence Day and I would be missing out on the fireworks, a Scottish Steak with NY Cheesecake was an excellent way to celebrate here in London. - Sanford,WC2B

Food was great. Really tasty and generous portions. - Annabelle,N1

See my past comments - Sanford,WC2B

As always, humongous servings and very very tasty food. Yum! - Joanna,N1

This is the 2nd time I've ordered from Anthony and his food is wonderful along with his cheery, happy service. Food was delivered on time and still warm - highly recommended! Can't wait to try new dishes once the menu changes :) - Selena,W1T

Great meal. Good size portions. Will definitely order from Anthony again. - Andrea,N1

This was my first time ordering from House Bites and I was not at all disappointed. The food was delicious and exactly what I wanted. Everything arrived hot and on time and I really cannot fault a thing. I will defintely be using you again, it is a brilliant idea and I wish you the greatest of success. - Colm,N5

It was the first time we tried Housebites and we will definitely do it more often. Anthony's food was fantastic and the portions very generous!! - Sarah,N5

Food was very good, as usual. We order from Anthony quite often, and everything is friendly, efficient, and most importantly - delicious! - Chadwick,WC1A

I was hungry and couldn't face cooking for myself. Anthony's meal hit the spot: I ended up extremely well fed. The whitebait were beautifully crispy and with a nice spicy edge. The chicken was tender and full of the delicate flavours of lemon and garlic. Great roast vegetables too! As for the bread and butter pudding: amazing. - Lynn,NW5

Another excellent meal--perfect for a Sunday evening! - Valerie,N1

Really delicious homemade food. - Emily,N1

Was not feeling very well, but got exactly what I needed, a home cooked meal ready to eat with no fuss! - EMILY,N7

The meat was a bit overdone, slightly disappointing overall. - Omar,N7

The meal I ordered was a huge dissapointment. The hog roast consisted of chunks of dry,grey, unflavoured pork and the accompying sides were simply boiled carrots, new potatoes and green beans. Having had many delicious meals from various housebites chefs I will not be ordering from Anthony again, the cooking showed a lack of basic skill and zero flavour. Bad value for money at £24 for two. - Ravneet,N7

excellent meal!! the risotto balls were really well put together with a nice mix of flavors. chicken breast was light and very tasty. Well done Anthony. I will definetly order from him again. - Josh,WC1N

Excellent. Absolutely top notch. - Jim,N7

The roast chicken dinner for 2 was a delicious eat-at-home meal. The selection of well cooked vegetables was particularly enjoyed and the fruit crumble dessert was good - and not too sweet. The generous portions arrived on time and were hot enough to serve without any re-heating. Well done Anthony! - Kenner,N1

Excellent. - Andrea,N5

That was the best home delivery food we have ever had! - Michael,WC2H

Amazing food. Steak was cooked to perfection and to die for. More than generous size portions. Chef is very friendly. It is nice that you actually get to speak ot the chef. Will definitely be ordering again. Very happy and full ;) customer indeed!!! - Joanne,N7

We loved this meal- well cooked steak and delicious chips, plentiful portions and prompt delivery- really very good and satisfying! - Katia,EC1V

Excellent - Barry,N1

Excellent meal. All the food was great, in the words of one of the dinners 'miles better than any other takeaway we've had!' - Joshua,EC1Y

Unfortunately, this was only the second time I have used housebites. It was also the second time that the meal was massively late Not impressed at all - Tristan,W1W

The meal came very late, but I got a call to warn and a free desert. As for the food, wow really was like a home cooked meal. Well better than if I'm cooking! Up there with the best takeaways I've had and I won't be using deliverance again. Great stuff. - Stuart,E8

Great meal! - Hussein,N1

I happily awaited, with a certain degree of excitement, my first Housebites dinner. About ten minutes before the delivery window ended, I received a call from Anthony. He was phoning to apologise that I was still waiting for my order, and that his driver had just left, and would be with me in approximately ten minutes. His telephone manner was impeccable, and I have to say that I thought it was nice to have the opportunity to speak directly to the chef. This is a rarity wherever one is dining, especially during what I imagine would be peak service times. Anthony's estimated delivery time was spot on, and it made a refreshing change to see a delivery driver still looking in reasonably good condition after climbing all the stairs to my flat! Again, the driver's manners were good, and I find that this really does impact my enjoyment of a home-delivered meal, so it was off to a promising start. I gave him a small tip, as I had very little cash on me, but he seemed genuinely grateful, showing no signs of disappointment, and I didn't get the sense that he was expecting a tip either. I plated up, and I was pleased to find that everything was still hot - something that so many delivery services fail to... well... deliver. The steak was a stunning 8oz cut of Sirloin. It was beautifully cooked - just the right amount of pink in the middle, and incredibly succulent, with all the flavours perfectly sealed in. The pepper sauce was fantastic too, and the generous helping came in a separate, giving me the choice of how much to serve. Admittedly, having tasted it, I used it all, but it was nice to have the option to use it sparingly all the same. The chips and mushrooms were also delicious and cooked to perfection. The salad that came with it was also just right, served with an olive oil and balsamic dressing on the side. This is the first delivered meal I've seen to contain lambs lettuce in the salad, and it was a welcome addition, as were the cherry tomatoes, which were as good as any I've eaten all year. I am not a light eater, but the portion was generous enough that I didn't feel tempted to eat the extra salad I had ordered, meaning that I kept it in the fridge, and had it for lunch the next day. My first Housebites experience was a good one. It wasn't quite perfect, but the quality of the food alone was enough to make it the best I have ever had with a home-delivered meal... at least so far. Combined with the quick replies and courteous service, I am certain that my next lazy night's catering will be provided by Housebites. - Stewart,W1T

delicious - Jenni,N1

Really enjoyed Anthony's slow roast pork dish and the complimentary fig salad he sent with it, which was lovely. Food delivered hot, on time and, as ever, there was lots of it. Thanks Anthony. - Sara,NW1

We ordered the food to arrive between 9.30pm and 10pm. The chef called at 9.55pm to say the food was on it's way and he apologies for the delay. However the food did not arrive until 10.30pm, by which time we were no longer hungry. The chips were soggy but the moules were nice. Not sure we would order at this time from this chef again due to the food being late. - Katy,N1

Another fantastic meal--thank you! - Valerie,N1

Great meal again, HUGE portion sizes, so lovely to have lots of fresh vegetables alongside. Will definitely order again soon. - Michelle,N1

This was the best housebites meal I've had yet! The Arrancini were amazing and I was very impressed by every part of the meal. - Jamie,NW1

We had the steak dinner for two and it was fantastic. The food was delivered on time, was nice and hot, and was delicious. And with a really tasty dessert included in the price it was excellent value for money. We will definitely be ordering again. - Holly,EC1V

fantastic meal, thanks so much. Duck was perfect, and a very generous portion.. - Dan,EC2A

I had a fillet steak. It was a very nice cut of meat and a generous portion. The guy gave me a complimentary starter as well which was delicious and the food was still warm when it got here. Will order again. - Donna,N1

Loved the roast pork! Meat was succulent, skin was crispy, and portions were generous. - Seng Hor,N1

I'm no foodie, but this meal actually brought tears to my eyes. I'd have been impressed if I'd paid double in a restaurant, whereas instead I enjoyed a truly incredible dinner for less than the price of a greasy pizza. No question about it; I'll be ordering from Anthony again and there'll be a sharp decline in my pizza deliveries. - Dave,N7

The meal wasn't quite to my taste but was good quality. I'll definitely be trying something else in the menu, though. - Keren,E2

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
