Bernard Matthews Avis 

Just had the mini kievs and feel sick i never throw food away but they taste like cardboard and feet . Have a few packs left but will be throwing them in the bin.

I thought yaaaaaay when I found Matthews turkey drummer's in the supermarket last week.
OMG! what happened, they used to be tasty, slightly spicy and well seasoned with that unmistakable turkey juicy flavor!
These tasted of nothing! Absolutely awful. Such a shame.

Not very nice will not be buying them again spoil my favourite. Poor quality mush

Only gave 1 star cos I had too, please got back to the original recipe from 20-30 years ago. The new recipe is vile, the texture is absolutely disgusting, there is zero seasoning extremely bland. Will never buy again they were terrible. I used to live off these they were my favourite food.

What on earth did you do?!!! I’m a picky eater like severely and I loved their mini turkey kievs they were just the best and now they’re DRY, TASTELESS, BLAND and just overall AWFUL. Will not be buying these again soooo disappointed!!! Dog biscuits taste better. Think everyone should get compensation for such disgusting “food”

So disappointed with the new mini chicken Kiev recipe.. these used to be a family favourite the creamy garlic sauce, soft with a crumbly outside. Now rock hard and taste like sick.. will not be buying again! Sort it out Bernard Matthew’s why change a good thing…

Mini Kievs ... always loved them by all the family, bought three bags of them as they were on offer in Iceland, what a waste of money... Grey slimey so called meat and no rich sauce in the middle, couldn't even finish one ball.. not even my cat would eat them and she used to love these. Unfortunately they went in the bin with the other two unopened bags. Never again, YUCK

Kiev balls are now revolting! Never will I buy these again. They used to be my guilty pleasure but now, nothing is right with them, the coating, the filling and the meat are all VILE! Don't change something that is perfect just to save money. Surely no one will buy them now and profits will drop dramatically.

I use to buy the Bernard Matthews Mini Kievs, when it was in the original orange packaging, which stood out from their other products.
They then decided to change the packaging and a new recipe. They now taste so synthetic and hardly any sauce inside them. I tried these twice, just to make sure it wasn't just a dodgy pack, but no, both were the same. They have lost a loyal customer. The only reason I can think of them changing it, is cheaper production costs, but still selling at the same price.

I'm sure I am not the only one that has noticed this big change. Do bring the original recipe ones back, even if it costs a bit more.

Used to be lovely but now just balls of mush. Utterly disgusting. I will not be buying again!

These taste absolutely disgusting! Where has all the lovely garlic and cheese sauce gone?! It’s just nasty goop now and the meat inside tastes horrible too! My daughter refused to eat them so I tried one and it made me feel sick - straight in the bin. Been buying these for years but never again! I thought I’d bought a bad bag or cooked them too long. The cheese didn’t pop out like it used to so I suspected something wasn’t quite right.

The change of recipe in Bernard Matthews mini kievs is not good, the creamy middle is less and tastes different along with the so called turkey which is grey and tasteless. So won't be buying this product again.

Absolutely awful taste now, why change the taste of something that tasted so nice to something that now tastes so blooming awful and not even like garlic it’s like cheap chemical processed cheese 🤷‍♀️ why and the amount of sauce is laughable which on this occasion I was greatful for. I really am gutted as all of my family absolutely loved these and they were a staple in my freezer, so disappointing, will not be buying these ever again and will never recommend them to anyone who actually likes food

Mini kievs are not even close to how they used to be. Used to be able to tell when they were ready in the oven cos 1 or 2 would start leaking the garlic and herb sauce from the middle. Now you cook them for longer and they don’t start leaking. There’s barely anything inside them. Breadcrumbs are completely different too. Why change such a staple of the brand? Doesn’t make sense. Been eating these since a kid but won’t be buying again. Sort it out BM

Not happy at all, bread crumbs are minging, would rather nyam my own batty than the inside of one of them 3D printed balls of faeces

I’m absolutely disgusted with the change of recipe. They are bland and mushy, why change something that was working!!! I was so looking forward to eating these but ended putting them in the bin. Bring back the old recipe

Tried the Bernard Matthews Kiev’s tonight and what on earth has happened to them , they used to be a quick meal family favourite, but now after trying just one out of the packet I feel physically sick , I thought maybe I’d had a dodgy packet not looking other reviews , I’m not alone. THEY NOW TASTE VILE !!! I won’t ever buy them again.

Unfortunately I purchased 3 packets of these and disposed of receipt.
These have been a personal snack favourite of mine for decades. No longer! Absolutely disgusting, total change of ingredients and finished product.
Clearly no product testing before rollout. Texture is bizarre. Finer breadcrumb that cooks up crispy to hide the mushy stuffing like meat substitute, that reminds me of a foul tasting undercooked stuffing mix. No garlic cheese filling in any. I can only imagine its soaked into the mushy substance that has replaced the turkey. They would of gone bust overnight if these were being sold when Mr Oliver was doing his best to stop us from eating products like this.
Never imagined the company would do it for him.
Shame, I loved the old version.

This change is certainly not for the better unfortunately. Nothing like the Kiev they have replaced.

Want to put -stars but I cant, what have they done to the mini Kiev?? The new ones are disgusting, and expensive and you get less? So not buying these anymore, bernard mathews food has gone down the pan
