Best microwave meal (family of 4)

We are staying in a beautiful treehouse next weekend. I cannot wait!
it has 2 hobs, a toaster and a microwave. I don’t want to cook really, and we will be going out for food on the Saturday.
I was thinking maybe a good Waitrose or M&S ready meal that I could microwave. Any recommendations? It’s my birthday the day before we go, so I don’t really want to meal prep.
I could do cheeses and salads etc, but I think on the Friday I would like something warm to eat.

M&S and Cook have nice ready meals but portion sizes for 4 mean you might be reheating a few meals.
You could make and freeze a chilli beforehand and take that to reheat with crusty bread tortillas sour cream and cheese.
Have a great time and a happy birthday.

Cook do have larger portions for celebrations lasagne etc.

Thank you - I’ll have a look at Cook. I assumed they would need an oven.
