Ginsters Reviews 

Ginsters Cornish Pasties have gone right down in Quality, Size, Taste & Filling. I was used to having a Ginsters on exercise [ex military].
Now after the last 12 - 18 months I will not waste my money on this product.

Another company pushing shrinkflation. Just bought a peppered steak slice, it must be only 75% of the size it used to be with a scarce amount of filling. Won't be buying Ginsters anymore!

I'll take my business elsewhere, I'm completely done with company's reducing product size to benefit themselves. Long time customer lost.

THE BEEF ONE IS FULL OF POTATOES AND THE LITTLE PORTION OF MEAT COMES WITH A LOT OF SINEW, DISGUSTING. DONT BUY IT ANYMORE.

By being greedy will never buy one of these originally much loved pepper steak slice again. More expressive half the size and very little filling, all pastry.
As a company you have shot yourself in the foot…… bye was nice knowing you!

I had my first pepper steak slice in a while but wont be buying another or anymore products from ginsters, the size has shrunk immensely. Nor whil my fathers shops stock them any more, because of all the complaints, but as long as they are making more money, and dont care about consumers, it's easier to keep people happy rather than loose them,

Gristle, Grit and Goo !

Against better judgement, bought a Ginster's "Sausage Roll" 21/01/26 in a Sainsbury's supermarket. Sausage roll in inverted comma's with good reason. Here's what I got: Gristle, Grit and Gooey Doh all of indescribable bit's of connecting tissue ground to a mix that cannot hide the hard "Bits" .....that needed spitting out ! But, there are two major issues here.
1. Crap quality (and I choose my words carefully) and,
2. Why with a Trust Pilot rating of 2.2 out of 5 stars can Sainsbury's possibly continue with stocking possible the worst value for money in Sainsbury's at all ?

I seldom trust mass produced food products having read Ginsters food hygiene figures I thought that I would try their products I purchased some pasties and chicken and mushroom slices ,also peppered steak slices ,and I was delighted all full of filling and full of flavour.

For years I have bought ginsters products but just recently I have been disgusted with the size and quality of the pasties and peppered steaks the price has risen and the quality and quantity has reduced. I will know be going back to my local butcher where the pies and pastries may be more expensive but the quality and quantity far exceed Ginsters produce

Used to love their peppered steak slice but now its half the size and nearly double in price what the hell like companys should be ashamed of themselfs but they don't care about customers anymore all about the money

Ginsters have changed...little filling and not as tasty...too much pepper ...I was so disappointed...charge more if you must but please return to the old recipe..

Had a great affinity with Ginsters products in the past sadly this no longer the case over the past couple of years it seems that there is an overall decline in standards. Poor quality ingredients smaller meat and veg content and the most awful pastry Then there's the price It's now the end of the line best purchasing [asties from local bakers or on line from fine established suppliers for instance Bideford's Blackwells Pasties Ltd 01237 472103

Never let you down, spot on warmed up in the oven with spuds and green beans, if you expect haute cusine then go to the Ritz and pay for it.
Gingsters ain't the Ritz it's propper filling man food.

Tried the large sausage roll for a change. I don't usually buy these from supermarkets
It was absolutely tasteless and full of gristle
Won't buy again.

Just had a pasty absolutely disgusting just full of salt no taste at all not happy won't be buying your again

Ginsters mince pasty, although it rated OK, very little meat in it, disappointing

Ginsters pepper steak slice.
Purchased the pepper steak slice,
Took it home to warm up.
Looked good the aroma was Mmmmm.
Bit into it gravy was lovely I must say some type of veg in there, two small pieces.
But sadly not one bit of steak. Gravy had a few strands of meat. Shame as was tasty.
Not fair Ginsters. Must do better.

Had a ginsters chicken and mushroom pasty. On first view, they have shrunk in size. But I pushed forward and put it into the air fryer for 6 minutes, as per the cooking instruction.

I will say the pasty was flaky in the most part. But every now and then there was slightly raw pastry, which put me off.

The filling. Well, this is what leaves my review so low.

There wasn't much, and what little was there had no seasoning, and just tasted rather bland. It was extremely underwhelming. I'm goi g to assume the sauce is mushroom based, as I had no mushrooms in the pasty.

So overall

Size was extremely disappointing considering the price these days

Pastry was good other than the raw parts, and before people say "you didn't cook it right". Please remember this is a ready to eat product

Filling was extremely disappointing. Not enough of it, and the taste was OK, but could have packed alot more of a punch.

Overall rating for me is a 2 out of five.

Good for a quick snack, but not a go to pasty for me.

load of crap your advert shows more meat then potato and swede. load of sh.. its like 80% potato and swede.
dont even talk about your sausage roll not as bad as greggs but still rubbish
