Spicy lentil and vegetable wedge with mango and puy lentils
These are good sized parcels packed with a luscious filling. The pastry coating is light though not very crisp. The inside is slightly spicy and packed with lovely vegetable, lentils and beans. Very filling. Two in a pack. They don’t deflate when cooking either as I though they might. Very tasty and would buy these again.
Rating 4/5

Nut cutlet’s with fair trade peanuts and fair trade cashew nuts
These come in a pack of four and are usual standard burger size. They are packed with peanuts and nice and crunchy. There is quite a lot of shredded carrot in them plus a soft potato filler. They are not in bread crumbs and the coating goes crisp when cooked. Tasty if you like nuts but not very substantial and filling.

Fruity falafel quarterpounders with cumin, coriander and chilli
These are quarter Pounders with a fruity taste. Being based on a falafel mix they tend to be quite dry and would go well with a sauce based dish especially a curry which would complement the fruity taste. Although they contain chilly they are not spicy.
Rating 3/5

Glamorgan sausages with leeks, onions and cauliflower
These are absolutely delicious vegetarian sausages. They are not the usual “meat” style sausages but ratehr have a crisp crunch thin coating ratehr like a batter and inside they are light and fluffy with a mild cheesy taste with overtones of leek and onion. These are a favourite and I would definitely buy these again. They go great in sandwiches or with mashed potatoes and beans and salad.
Rating 5/5

Garden vegetable quarterpounders with a wholemeal crumb
This type of burger is popular in frozen vegetarian foods ranges. These didn’t disappoint and had a crunchy crumb texture to the coating and a nice soft vegetable packed inner. Nice if this is the type a vegetable burger you go for but not as tasty or creative as some of the other products on the Goodlife frozen vegetarian foods range.
Rating 4/5

Spicy bean quarterpounders with fair trade white and red kidney beans
Fantastic! These spicy bean quarterpounders are by far our favourite. They have a crisp crunchy outer crumb coating and the inside is packed with luscious kidney beans, sweet corn and peppers in a spicy tomato style filling. They are a very good size and fairly thick. They are also quite spicy! These are great with a salad and make an excellent alternative for meat eaters who fancy something different. Very substantial and filling. We give these are top rating. Highly recommended!
