Applaws is excellent, but the adult varieties are not a complete diet, so you'd either need to add appropriate supplements, or feed a complete food as well. HiLife is good, as is Natures Menu, or even Whiskas oh so fishy/meaty is reasonably good. Look for foods with protein content of at least 10% and meat content of over 50%. (you'll soon realise there aren't too many like this, all the leading brands have unneccessary added vegetable protein!) Alternatively, consider a raw diet. There are people on this group who can advise on that.

Natures menu he will not touch (unfortunately), he does have whiskers kitten pouches now and again which he does eat but with meat content of 4% i am not so keen!! (got some pouches free) Have not tried the high life will see what he thinks, once he is onto adult food that opens up a lot more choice than just kitten. I am leaving his biscuits, natures best down all the time he only has wet morning and evening.

Has anyone tried the Tesco Luxury looks good with minimum 50% meat (plus on offer atm!!)

Yes, the Tescos Luxury and Finest pouches are good with a high meat / fish content. I woulnd't worry too much about letting him have adult varieties now - "kitten food" isn't strictly necessary.

excellent will grab some of those hopefully he will like! will mix with some of his applaws if not and wean him that way.

I fed my cats bozita cat food cartons for a while (available from zooplus) it is alot more cost effective than the foods you are looking at, and it is about 90% meat.
