Bernard Matthews Avis 

Really disappointed with my recent purchase of mini kievs. They have changed the recipe and they are really nasty, just mushy grey, looks disgusting and tastes vile! I tried half a bites of one and spat it out, they really are nasty. I’ve no idea why they’ve changed the recipe, why they just didn’t put the price up.
Very disappointing as I always used to have a couple of bags of these in the freezer.

The mini kievs used to be excellent, I used to go through about 8 packs a week. As someone who is autistic these and some nuggets was my favourite meal that I could cook easily. Since they changed the recipe they are horrible! The meat is bad and the goo inside is horrendous. I cooked 2 packs, took one bite and threw the rest away. Even the dog wouldn't even touch one! Come on guys, sort yourselves out and stop changing stuff that doesn't need changing.

I use to love mini kievs when i was young, i bought some for my 11year old daughter, explaining how good they tasted, what a disappointment, absolutely a waste of money, they where disgusting, even the dog turned his nose up and he eats is own poo,once a year,!

I have given a 1 star rating only because a zero star is not an option. These used to be a staple quick meal in our house. Not anymore! Cooked them for 15 minutes in the airfryer and they came out just as pale as they went in. Cooked for another 2 minutes on a higher temperature and they still looked pale. When my son tried them he said they were disgusting! Really cardboard coating, strong tasting turkey meat and the filling was awful. Before the filling used to ooze out when they cooked but the new recipe is really solid. Definately won't be buying these ever again. Avoid at all cost.

Absolutely disgusting sorry!! My son has always liked them but after 1 and me trying 1,because I don't like waste, they went straight in the bin. Will not be buying them again!!

Please change back the receipe on the turkey kievs. They no longer taste good and kids are refusing to eat them!

We use to love the turkey kievs, but unfortunately the new recipe is tastless and the texture is like mush, everyone tried one and the rest went in the bin and will not be buy them again. Very disappointing.

Always a favourite in our house but the whole bag went in the bin. Very disappointed

Never wrote a food review from something I got from tesco before but the new recipe mini kievs might genuinely be the worst thing Ive ever eaten

Horrible
Ground up mush that's not what they used to be.
Not much filling, poor taste, terrible texture.

Has the company gone mad !!
Not seen these in shop in a long time so i picked 2 bags up as i used to love these as a child .
After trying this product placed the lot in bin i did not even recognize the outer shell as meat and the inside filling i can only assume is a coloured thickening , agent .
These used to be a premium product in the freezer aisl .
Even the dog turned his nose up!

If I could give ZERO it would be too high!
Vile! What have you done to the mini kievs?! It was getting bad before without the filling but NOW they are VILE. I will never eat these again. Vile vile vile! Will never buy your products again. Not fit for human consumption!

Ewwww what happened mini Kievs??!!?!! They taste fowl , yet mushy and flavourless cost cutting ? Laziness I dunno but safe to say we won’t be buying their products anymore, not even close to worth it pretty sure aldi or lidl could make a better alternative , what a shame a once reliable and good company now makes food even dogs wouldn’t eat

The new recipe that Bernard Matthews has decided to us for their turkey keiv's are awful. They are mushy and smell rotten. I wish companies would not change things that don't need to be changed. My child is autistic and struggles with food so when we find something she really likes it would be helpful for companies like Bernard Matthews do not change products.

The Old Recipe was a Staple in my household it was always on the menu at least once a week. and if not included in a meal it was perfect for a snack.

It’s fair to say I will never be buying them again with this new recipe the “breadcrumb” outer coating is like cardboard the “meat” is gritty and the garlicky “filling” if there is any is absolutely repulsive the board of directors at this company should be sacked immediately.

The age old saying goes ( if it’s not broken don’t fix it ) so why they decided to change I’ll never know but how they got passed to go into production is beyond me

First time I have had a Bernard Mathews Turkey Crown (if thats what you could call it - Feeds 6-10, no chance.

I have never had a turkey crown which came complete with legs, rib cage and neck before.. The ones I've previously had from elsewhere was just literally the crown (breast) meat of the turkey, but with this one I had to cut out the neck, remove a sawn through half rib cage, and the half legs which were left on. WHY? The pack said it was all prepared and nothing to do to make Christmas easy - thats a laugh. Our Christmas meal was also ruined as there was not enough meat to feed 6 let alone up to 10 - probably enough meat for 3!!

First and last time for a Bernard Mathews turkey crown - it was not bootiful at all.

there little beauties used to be on of my favorites, now for the first time in years im struggling to eat them, the texture is horrible and closely resembles baby food, the taste well i cooked them for 15 minutes, i was so sure they where undercooked as the taste was disgusting, so i put them back in for another 5, and no they tasted the exact same, i have no idea what has been done to them but holy, also said 13 on the packet for £2.25 says average of 13, i got 10 i will not be buying these versions again

What used to be a nations favourite, has turned into an absolutely disgusting, bland (disappointment is not the word) bag of mushy tasteless things. I’m not going to call them mini kievs because they are not. Way to go Bernard Mathews, the most shocking thing about the change is it’s not mentioned, and someone actually had a meeting and decided that this was the way forward. Could have Put the price up, reduce the pack size or simply stopped making them, but I’m reading through comments that show I’m not wrong when I say. You have ruined your reputation as one of the leading family food favourites. I’ll never buy Bernard’s again after feeling like you ripped me off with a cheap copy and utterly ruined a family night.

If I could give it negative three stars, I would. What a disgrace.

My son is autistic and the mini kievs where a safe dinner for him I always have them in the freezer hadn’t been able to get any for a couple weeks and saw the packaging changed well I made them today and they are disgusting my son was so upset and has been all evening he keeps asking me for the original kievs! Why did they need to be changed they where fine the way they was

Yup! They changed the recipe and they’re almost inedible…and I’ll eat almost anything. My children and their friends all refused to eat them, so I thought I’d hit the jackpot getting to eat the spoils…the kids were right…the meat is now a flour laden paste and the sauce is unrecognisable. WILL NOT BUY AGAIN, AND WILL PROMOTE AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHERS TO NOT BUY EITHER.
