A tasty purchase
Yes, I recommend this
I brought this item as a treat for myself. At £24.00 it's a little expensive but was very tasty. Not enough for 2 people so I ate it all myself!

Disappointing
No, I don't recommend this
I was really disappointed in this dish. Expecting (for the price) the shells to be filled with lobster meat, it was poor to find so little meat there, and tough and chewy at that. The sauce was quite nice, the crust was good, but the overall quality of the dish was very poor. I'll stick to the Coquilles St Jacques, which are awesome!

Really disappointing.....ugh
No, I don't recommend this
I bought this from M&S in Bromley in April 2013. I have to say that it was beyond bad, it was the absolute worst Thermidor that I have ever had. It was very fishy smelling, and thick and globby. It was cloying and stuck to the roof of my mouth, with little lobster meat. What lobster there was tasted like imitation. It had a strangely long expiry date too, which was not something that I would have given to Lobster. The smell in the kitchen was awful, and we threw it away.

all time favourite
Yes, I recommend this
I have boyught this product several times ,enjoy flavours not too heavy as a starter but definately not enough for main course.It is a little too expensive to use as a starter for more than 2.,however it would cost considerably more in a restaurant.

Lobster Thermidor
No, I don't recommend this
The product is flattered by the photograph. There was very little meat in the one we bought,though it's fair to say that the little there was was tasty enough. and the accompanying dressings were rather meagre and nondescript. I would take issue with the "table presentable platter" in the description and accompanying photograph,when the reality is a moulded plastic container.This does not affect the product itself, but reinforces the feeling that the reality does not really match up to the advertising. Poor value for money in our opinion.

Great Taste
Yes, I recommend this
Chosen as part of New Year's Eve Dinner. Great taste but small. Would pay more for a larger Lobster.

Too expensive to be true
No, I don't recommend this
After looking forward to a really tasty and a bit "up market" New Year's treat I was really disappointed. The lobster was too small for the two of us and the taste was too mustardy for the lobster to come through. Regret thumbs down on this one.

Tasty but 'spot the lobster'
No, I don't recommend this
This was our Christmas Day starter , although we had originally planned to eat it as a main on Christmas Eve! It was meant to be a treat but was not really not worth it as there were only a few small pieces of lobster to be found amongst the sauce etc. It was also a bit soggy and disappointing.

"case of the missing lobster"
No, I don't recommend this
I recently purchased a pack of lobster thermidore which my husband and myself were really looking forward to eating. What a disappointment! The lobster was almost non existent, a couple of small mouthfuls and it was gone. The sauce and topping were at the best o.k., but value for money? I think not.

Ok but nothing fancy
No, I don't recommend this
This is ok, I bought it for a romantic meal for two and I was dissapointed as the taste and flavouring was fine but hardly any lobster at all!!

Happy days are here again
Yes, I recommend this
M&S is the only place I can find which sells a prepared Lobster Thermidor. I used to buy this all the time and it was lovely but for some reason it was stopped. Anyway imagine my surprise and delight to see it back again. It's absolutely delicious.

Thermidor sans Lobster
No, I don't recommend this
I ordered this for a special celebratory meal and this served as the starter for 2 of my guests. To say I was embarrassed is a huge understatement. It seemed that the Lobster meat had been omitted, in fact we estimated one teaspoon worth in one half of the Lobster. The sauce was there as were the breadcrumbs which tasted, as described by one guest 'insipid'. I rang Customer Services and explained the situation and asked for a refund. Dreadful.

Enough for one! Just!
Yes, I recommend this
I bought this as a treat for my parents for Dad's birthday, unfortunately, even though they are not big eaters, there is limited amount of lobster meat, definitely not enough for two, but tasted lovely apparently.
