French Onion Soup

Price not listed

This French Onion Soup is an excellent example of the form: slow-cooked caramelised onions enriched with fragrant bay leaves and garlic which are simmered in a carefully balanced chicken stock. To elevate this to even tastier heights simply top with a slice of bread (keep with the French theme and use French baguette!), add some grated cheese (we recommend an Emmental or Gruyere) and finish under the grill. This is pure comfort in a bowl. Available to order in individual 400g portions. Bistro Chef are producers of a range of delicious ready meals based in Bath. They are a family run business w

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as ORCHARDLEA FOODS LIMITED, number 03420297. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
