Bernard Matthews Reviews 

We had these for dinner today and my dad rarely buys them so I was super excited. I love them. But when I noticed they hadnt burst after cooking and were these cheap round yellow breadcrumb instead of brown and flaky I knew they were disgusting. I quartered one and ate it and they instantly went into the bin. Tasted like eating blended tissue paper with chicken stock. Bring back the old recipe.

I would give no stars they are horrible

I used to be a massive fan of the the mini kievs. I bought some recently and omg, I literally had to spit it out. It was just mush, no flavour and the texture was just grim. You have clearly changed your recipe, cheapened it no doubt, and its gross, won't ever be buying again

Do not like the new turkey kievs at all and neither do my children so disappointed these were a real go to for the whole family !! The meat now tastes cheap and grainy and there is hardly any filling which has very little taste at all
We are all so disappointed and won’t be buying them again

Absolutely awful...💩!! DON'T BUY What was once a family favourite are now something I'll never buy again... very disappointing... the breading is far to thick with little to no filling... The texture and taste are both unbelievably terrible... I'm glad we had a back up plan in the freezer... I personally hate wasting money and food but we couldn't eat them and to add insult to injury I have another bag in the freezer..!! What a shame 👎🏻do better Mr Matthews

Yours sincerely a once loyal customer

My daughter says:
"When I tried the new recipe Mini Kievs it tastes grainy, with no crust. The inside is eugh...!"
I myself have eaten these for 30+ years and they have become dry, tasteless, powdery and just cheap tasting.
38% meat despite it accounting for 60%-70% of each sphere is very telling.
I won't be buying them again sadly.... a nostalgic favourite RUINED"

This recipe change is repellent, dry powdery so called 'turkey' with little to no garlic sauce and no flavour. In the bin and never again.

Another person here who hates the new mini Kiev recipe- they are now absolutely vile!
Where is the cheesy garlicky sauce that we all knew and loved?! The sauce that would seep out of the sides of the balls when cooking- there was that much of it! Now there is hardly any sauce inside, they don’t taste the same and the turkey is abysmal! Change. It. Back.

Really disappointing - will not be buying them again!! BM needs to listen to its customers… Had been buying these for years but never again.

New recipe is gross. They used to be the only ones I would eat and I loved the garlic filling. One bite and I knew straight away the recipe had changed, the sauce is now see through and disgusting. Really poor move and won’t be purchasing again

Definitely not the same kievs as before, one disappointed grandaughter. Wont be buying again

I knew immediately before I but into it the recipe had changed just from the look. But into it to find a mush like texture and a teeny tiny amount of sauce and it was sour?! I’ve loved these since 2004 where I would eat them by the boat load. They have changed the taste before this but this version is the absolute worst!! Bring back the early 2000 version. Until this happens unfortunately Bernard Matthews has lost another customer. In the bin they go!

At first I thought I'd cooked them wrong since I had a new air fryer, but no, the recipe changed and they're now absolutely diabolical. Horrible and mushy with little to no sauce. Do these companies not even taste their slop before expecting people to buy it?

Mini kievs were my favourite cheat meal - they’re absolutely awful now, formed balls of meat almost in batter not breadcrumbs and the garlic sauce, yuk! So disappointed, will be binning my other bag

Absolutely terrible. At first I thought I undercooked them as the turkey was nothing just mush but no they were cooked, the garlic was sour, they overall were disgusting even my cats walked away from the "turkey" 100% avoid these.

What happened to these used me amazing, now no flavor, mushy and tasted of nothing

Used to love these plenty of sauce and flavour. NOT NOW they are mushy, tasteless with little to no filling. Doubt I'll be buying these again anytime soon

WHY HAVE YOU CHANGED THE MINI KIEVS RECIPE?? Please please change it back they are now vile to the point I couldn’t even swallow them. Why try fix something that’s not broken? Never buying them again! :(

I used to love Hamwich when i was a kid! That thick layer of cheese on top and the nice meaty ham flavour! First time in 10 years i have bought hamwich again wondering if i can get a twinge of nostalgia… Nah! Not the same and the last pack i ever buy! A real shame good british food companies end up bought by people who dont know what they are doing! Come 2028 this company wont exist no more. Sad

Got myself some mini kievs and made them tonight omg disgusting the meat is brown mush they are tasteless ,Where has the filling gone its non existent i had to throw them in the bin after 2 bites ,whoever is the taster for these and said there nice needs sacking they must eat anything .
