Slow Roast Pork with Mustard Salsa

Amazing Lasagna! Would not hesitate to order again. Also loved the honey mustard salad dressing - delish! - Jenna,SW3

Delicious meal, arrived on time, nice and warm. Great first experience with Housebites! - Sergio,SW8

A generous portion of delicious lasagna, 2 very nice desserts and some starters/sides made it a reasonably priced excellent meal. - Salim,SW1W

Food was a bit cold on arrival (especially the quinoa shrimps), though after a quick reheat they were perfect. The side salad and its sauce were excellent. Though quantities were more than generous and sufficient, the main course/deserts seemed a bit pricey for what was given. Overall, happy with the order because it felt homemade, but was expecting a bit better. - Ismail,SW10

If you are going to have Lasagne, do not waste the indulgence on anything other then Davide's Lasagne. It's totally like the best home made lasagne you could possibly imagine. The stuff of dreams. And if you are going to push the boat out, the Oreo Cheesecake is an indulgence so good that guilt seems petty. - Richard,W1W

The dressing for the pumpkin salad was a bit too strong and we felt the food wasn't very warm when it arrived. Otherwise, yummy! - Willemijn,SW1V

Wonderful shrimp and the best salad I have tasted in months. Warm butternut squash with rocket and a very soft and tasty cheese. Also enjoyed the main course of Peruvian chicken and roast carrots, although the Peruvian chicken was a lot hotter than I expected it would be. - Linda,SE17

The Italian chicken was massive and really tasty. Great quality. Creamy mash is naughty but the steamed broccoli seemed to balance it out. Quinoa crispy prawns, what a treat. And the pannacotta was perfect. - Richard,W1W

Well presented and great tasting food. Pawns were superb. Mashed potato was one of the best I have tasted. All ingredients seemed to be top quality. Delivery was prompt, even a little early. Good test run. Will use again. - Patric,SW6

Food was excellent, it could have been a little bit hotter. I will order again. - Luiz,W1D

I would put "very good" but I got too full to properly taste everything:))) Tt is a heartwarming meal because the fact of it being cooked by a professional chef at home, gives the food a unique aura:) Thank you Davide and Housebites! - Suna,SW1P

Quality was very good but the portion size, especially the cheesecake, was a bit disappointing for the price. - Huw,SW4

Both dishes were excellent. We were very impressed and will definitely be using Housebites again soon. - Scott,SW8

I really enjoy writing feedback when food is just so good. The best thing was definitely the quinoa crispy shrimps - was amazed to see how frying shrimps in quinoa worked out that tastefully. The cumin roasted carrots were soft in texture and sweet in taste - brilliant. There was a huge portion of rice and salad with the chicken. One thing i want to point out that was really good is the slightly spicy sauce - mild to your taste buds (i really dont like too spicy) and at the same time full of taste. Definitely food would have been less tastier without it. Chicken was good but next time I will go for the creamy version to see how good it is :) - Emil,SW8

Good food, but perhaps slightly overpriced. - Sally,SE11

Lovely idea... but Food not as innovative as it sounded/I hoped. - Penny,SW4

The lasagne was really really good. - Fivos,SE1

Absolutely delicious, worth every penny, carry on the great cooking as I will be ordering more. - Chris,SW10

We enjoyed the experience. And the food was of a good quality. Unfortunately, because of the delivery delay - when it arrived, the food was no longer warm, which meant it was hard to judge the food quality and also impaired the experience. - Derek,W1H

This is one of the best meals we have ever had from the Housebites network of chefs, which we have been ordering from for over a year first in north London and now in south London. Davide is truly a talent, and we will most definitely be ordering from him again. Each dish was original, complex in character, and delicious. Our sincere compliments to the chef. From savoury to sweet (the Oreo cookie cheesecake was, we agree, to die for), Davide really impressed us and made a wonderful home meal for a Saturday night. We paired the meal with wine, a deep bodied Argentinian Cabernet with notes of chocolate and dark fruit, which went very nicely with the perfectly seasoned dishes from Davide. Thank you! - Natalie,SW11

Great food! i really love the concept - amine,WC2E

Very good food arrived in excellent condition and on time - mehmet,SW1X

Absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked...unlike the other chef in our area! - Chiara,SW12

I loved the meal! Bolognese was fantastic and risotto too.. Also thanks for free salad! - Irahyma,SW1P

Very yummy chicken :) - Alex,SW11

Generally pretty good - but probably too many rich dishes (with lots of cream - e.g. chicken). Best dish was the roasted chicken and salads were good. Peruvian creamed chicken had too much cream, not enough chicken. - Colm,W1J

Lasagne was luke warm and tasted like ready meal quality, very disappointing considering the price. Cheesecake was okay but again didn't really feel too different from something in Tesco's. - Thomas,SW9

Another great meal. The highlight this time was the Cumin Roasted Carrots; For me, Davide's strength is in taking single ingredients and turning them into something greater than the sum of its part. - Benjamin,SW1P

Delicious thankyou! - Katherine,SW11

Really delicious! Thanks - Eimear,SW9

Great chicken - must get over to Peru sometime! - Adam,SE17

The food was great we really enjoyed our Valentine's meal. It arrived in time and was great value for the money. The only disappointment was that the starter was cold. I would definitely use this service again. - Abigail,SW11

Our meals were absolutely delicious, the only 2 things I'd say were slightly negative were the portions were quite small and it took a while to be delivered 1hr 15. - Jemima,SW1V

Delicious. What a treat. I've had all of his food and it's spot on. The lasagne is out of this world. - Richard,W1W

Salad was fresh, chicken leg was very moist and hadn't dried in transit... - Wing Yin,W1U

Hotpot was a little underseasoned (although flavour was lovely). Cabbage was phenomenal and the oreo cheesecake excellent. Would recommend! - Louella,SW1W

Quite enjoyed the meal in general and this is definitely a a bit more posh that normal take away. For the price I was expecting a bit more, but overall I am quite happy and will definitely order again. On a negative note, there is a lot of packaging, the extra cardboard sleeves for every containers is a bit much. - Martin,SW11

It was obvious to me that the opinion and pleasure of customer was the first goal for him .well cooked ,delicious ,fresh so definitely next times on the way - Dina,SE17

Great chicken very yummy, chorizo too.. Oreo cheesecake is the best thing we've eaten in a long time! Thanks! - kitty,SW11

Delicious food! Enjoyed every bite - Kseniya,W1U

Excellent chicken. Appreciate the extra broccoli and loved the salad! Thanks. - Sanford,WC2B

The food was delivered 25 mins late - bad. The lasagna was cold - bad. Reheated it was delicious! The wilted greens I ordered - absent. Instead I got apple crumble... not certain how I feel about the whole experience and whether I intend to repeat. - Michelle,SW9

Really good, enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you, Davide - Wendy,SW8

The roasted pork belly was very good. - Julian,SW7

Oh boy...the pancakes and bacon were so good! So that's why there are lots of fat Americans. The bacon was cooked to perfection. Fish pie and scrumble also very good. Consistently excellent food from this chef. - Benjamin,SW1P

None - Clare,SW9

Meal was great, Roulade was the best I have ever had.... Unfortunately dinner 30 min late - elena,W1U

The meal arrived 30mins after the end of the delivery window. I called the service to ask about the delay and was first told my ordered hadn't gotten through because I entered the wrong payment information, and asked if I wanted to be charged again. After I insisted I had received a confirmation email, then my ordered miraculously reappeared. The operator did check with the driver but I had to wait over 5 mins on the phone to get this sorted. And no apologies in the end. When the food arrived, it was cold and soggy. Perhaps if it hadn't taken so long it would have been less bad. I ordered a side of wilted greens which were super salty and the salad dressing on my mixed salad tasted like something out of jar. My 'main' from the starter menu of quinoa covered crispy shrimps were not that exciting either. The 5 small shrimp were completely hidden in a nest of mixed greens, the battered was soggy and pealing off and the pepper sauce tasted rather artificial. I was very disappointed with the service and equally disappointed with the food. But to be fair to the chef, perhaps the delay in delivery didn't do the food any favors... - Alexandra,W1U

The food wasn't very hot, the fish was very dry and it was 15 minutes late. The carrots would have been very nice if they had been hot. - Sean,SE5

Arrived right on time and was extremely tasty.... just which we'd ordered more. - Patrick,SW8

The meal arrived within the time slot but packaging left something to be desired. Plastic containers not the best way to present food (and it sometimes taintes the taste of food). Better to use Bioboxes for the veg than plastic. Food just warm - not sure how far it had travelled. 1. Chicken Hot Pot with Winter Veg and pearl barley seemed to missing the veg and had lots of pearl barley so looked a bit 'beige'. However, it was seasoned OK but nothing to write home about for £11.25 2. I ordered a portion of Fresh Greens, lightly pan-fried and finished with chilli, lemon and toasted pine nuts which tasted great but let down by (a) be only half the amount in the container that there should have been and (b) a portion of steamed broccoli and kale arriving as well (even though it did not have this published on the menu) so I spent £2.75 more than I should have done/could have done. The veg was well cooked though. 3. APPLE AND BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE was a little overfacing and too much for one - both in amount and price. The crumble topping had been added after baking, not during, and was not crisp as a baked crumble should be. Not a great rendition of a crumble. Home-made custard would have been better from a chef with vanilla pods used rather than essence. - Steve,SW1V

This was our first time ordering from House bites and we were very impressed by the quality of the food, we will be ordering again! - Tom,SW11

The chicken is amazing, the prawns were very nice. I only wish there had been more prawns. this arrived a little colder than I might have likes but was able to heat them back up. Would order again. - Xander,SW5

This was my first time using 'housebites' and overall, I'm impressed! My work colleague and I are in the office till 9pm every night so I guess you could call us takeaway connoisseurs. I took a chance with Davide's fish dish, but can honestly say that it's one of the best fish dishes I have had in years! My colleague had the stuffed chicken which was great and perfectly topped off with delicious pesto. The food could've been slightly warmer though. Overall, pure quality at great value. We will certainly be coming back for more. - Adrian,SW1H

While a little cold, the lasagne was good. The tomato/onion tart was nice Salad was really small for the price. - Sanford,WC2B

French toast with toffee apple was particularly good, as was the crackling of the pork and the deep fried potato. Food arrived on time. - Lydia,SW1A

The chicken was terrific, the Oreo cheesecake is amazing. - Sanford,WC2B

This was the first time I've used the service. The food arrived within the stated time and the food tasted like a home cooked meal which was nice and novel. - Farnoosh,SW10

Yummy! - Sara,SW8

Chicken was tasty...would've been nice with some more sides. Give me some more colour. Give me some more spice. Salad was good but scrawny. Wish linguine had a bit more punch. - Stephen,W1K

A really nice meal that tasted home cooked. The sauce was really meaty and was full of flavour. Really tasty desert that made it extra special. Would definitely have it all again! - Raphaelle,SE11

Awesome! - Vivek,SW7

Tasty, notting out of the ordinaria though. - Diego,SW1X

I've ordered from Davide before, but this meal was (if possible) even better! The Italian-style Stuffed Chicken was packed full of flavour, and the Poached Salmon with Roasted Vegetables really was truly impressive: its creamy green sauce made it into an exotic yet refreshingly simple dish. The meal was actually delivered by the chef himself too, which was lovely. Thank you Davide, will be back soon! - Nell,SW1E

We really enjoyed the food specially the dessert and we were surprised yo find a taster portion of the beetroot salad which we hadnt ordered! It was a good thing to do since we loved it and will order it next time. It would be nice to get a bit more variety in the menu so we can have more options to order from. Thanks again for great service. - Irahyma,SW1P

amazing! best takeaway ever!! felt really bad that i could not tip the chef - had no cash at all at home. Will definitely order again! - Christoph,SW1W

My first time trying the Housebites service was not a disappointment. Delicious side salad of goats cheese, beetroot, rocket and walnut was the perfect accompaniment to wonderfully tender and fragrant beef bourguignon - but the best was saved for last, with Eton mess done JUST how it should be. Absolutely delicious, and I'll be using the service again! - James,SW8

Housebite Heaven. Davide threw in an extra salad—both were delicious. Parsnip and leek gratin—sounds boring; it was full of flavour. - Benjamin,SW1P

We all felt that it was too like a regular takeaway. The plastic boxes were exactly the same as you would get a chinese takeaway in. So presentation not brilliant and so much packaging which was very ungreen. The taste of the food was good but we didn't felt it was worth what we had spent. I loved my goats cheese starter having said that. - Cosima,SW7

Excellent meal, will certainly order from again. - Christian,SW1Y

My fourth meal with housebites — they've all been excellent. This time, the chicken was the highlight. I think it's a sign of good meat when the skin is the best part. - Benjamin,SW1P

Holy fucking shit. I'm not going to apologize for the language, because this meal was just that good. I am usually too busy to cook, so I eat out a lot at allegedly very good restaurants. Unfortunately, I often end up bored with what I'm eating, and sit there thinking "It's not inedible, but if my mouth could fall asleep right now, it would. I don't even want to chew--that's how bored I am. How is it that you looked so exciting on the menu, but taste so abjectly dull?" Davide, your menu looked simple on screen, but tasted sublime. You threw a fucking party in my mouth. Full story in detail: It's a warm summer evening. I'm bored of all the restaurants on my street, (despite living in Mayfair, an area saturated with eateries). Internet to the rescue--time to try Housebites. Davide's the only chef that delivers to my area, so it's an easy choice. I usually prefer fish dishes, but am tempted by the sound of the Pork Confit. Eaton mess sounds rather pedestrian, but there's nothing else for dessert, so I throw it in anyway and check out. Food arrives at exactly 8:00. Davide's already scoring more points than normal takeaways by virtue of punctuality alone. I'm handed a paper bag with a friendly smile and some coupons to boot. It isn't til I close the door that I realize it might actually have been the chef himself that delivered. I feel instantly bad that I didn't show some kind of recognition. But, it's too late now, so I head to the kitchen to unload. Davide's thrown in a complimentary gazpacho soup, a nice surprise. I spoon some into my mouth absentmindedly as I unpack the rest of the bag. I stop mid-motion as I realize that this is the best damn gazpacho I've ever had. It starts as a sweet tart lightness in your mouth, mellowed with buttery avocado and creme fraiche, spiked with firebursts of chilli that leave a glow of heat on your tongue. It's a summer sunset in a bowl. I spend the next ten minutes single-mindedly chasing those flavours until it's gone, and only then do I realize it came with savoury biscuits. They are also spectacular, perfectly crumbly and buttery. I move on to the pork belly. Soft, meaty goodness over smooth mash, with the richness cut nicely by the hint of apple and the cider sauce. I haven't had meat this well flavoured in a while. The greens on the side go perfectly. I can barely finish the generous portion, but soldier on because I just don't want to stop. Finally, dessert. It actually looks beautiful. When was the last time something that came in a plastic takeaway container arrived looking beautiful? Probably never, until Davide came to town. Three pretty meringues that crack tantalizingly under a tap of my fork, arranged over strawberries and cream, with flowers (lavender?) delicately scattered in between. I gather a little of everything onto my fork, and dive in. It's amazing. The meringues crumble sweetly into powder, with a little chew on the inside, and the strawberries and cream are in just the right proportion. Shit. Stop reading this gargantuan review and order from this man, right now. I have never written a review for anything in my life, but had to in this case--Davide, thanks for an awesome meal. - Ang Jun,W1J

Food was on time and absolutely delicious. Davide added a small pastry as a bonus which was also great. I ordered the Maille French Takeaway as I was interested in the authenticity of the recipe. - David,SW7

Food was very tasty and well cooked. It was delivered lukewarm and portion of Gnocchi was very small (too small). Definitely 5 stars for taste and presentation, 3 stars for temperature and size. - Gosia,SW11

Unbelievably good food; all the dishes were of top restaurant-quality, and there was an incredible mixture of colours and flavours. And it was all delivered by the smiley chef himself! Amazing experience - can't wait to see next week's menu..! - Nell,SW1E

Another excellent meal. Lovely combination of flavours in the gnocchi with almond and asparagus complementing the pea purée. Good apple dappy with a delicious ice-cream. - Benjamin,SW1P

Very good meal, arrived still warm, though the ice-cream had melted a bit...lovely beef Bourgogne[sp]. - Nicholas,SW1H

I’ve just finished my first meal from housebites — wow! This wasn’t just a cut above your average takeaway; it was in a different league. From the first mouthful of succulent salmon, I was in heaven. Davide even threw in a complementary mackerel dish, which was excellent. The lasagne was just perfect. The cheesecake was very good — a lovely texture and successful use of rum and raisin. Although I love Salcombe rum and raisin ice-cream, I was sceptical that this would work well in a cheesecake. This did. Basic things — the food arrived on time and was a good temperature. I think this is so important — it doesn’t matter if the food is amazing — if it arrives late and cold, then it counts for nothing. Being handed the food by the chef felt strangely privileged. Ben - Benjamin,SW1P

Absolutely delicious! Really appreciated and savoured the extra salmon that was packed in. Can't wait to order again and try some new meals. - Jordan,SW1W
