A spokesperson could not disclose details of where the site would be nor what products would be made at the plant. However, Charlie Bigham's said in a statement the site would "cater for future demand and ensure the brand continues to be a market leader for fresh, high quality food".
The investment comes on the back of rising sales. The company said it had seen a 47% increase in sales to nearly GBP40m (US$62m) for the year to the end of August.
The group has recently expanded its range with a new 'For One' line, while pushing on with the development of more meals for two.
Founder Charlie Bigham said: "We are absolutely delighted with our FY15 results, and demand for our food continues to increase so we're committed to building a bigger production kitchen to keep up. We’re very proud to be delivering delicious food to more twosomes than ever before."
