Updated Review
Updated to say :
Thank you Emily for dealing with my complaint and explaining what went wrong on this occasion. I was more than compensated for the faulty flour. Having had time now to use it, I have to say it makes excellent bread, far better than other brands I’ve tried recently. I will continue to order from Matthews and look forward to trying some of the other Artisan flours.
=============================
Bought 5 bags of white bread flour thinking it was good quality and was horrified to find it contained lots of unmilled grains.
Two weeks ago I wrote to them and was told my email had been passed to their complaints department, but despite following up with a second email I have been totally ignored! Come on Matthews this is no way to treat your customers! Things go wrong but it’s how you deal with it that matters!

Wonderful flour for all baking needs.
Having tried many different flours from different suppliers, Matthews Cotswold flour is now my supplier of choice. A fantastic range of flours for making bread, pizzas, biscuits and cakes. I make a variation of a sourdough bread using Churchill strong bread flour and Cotswold Crunch, fantastic!

Wide range of flours to choose from.
My favourite loaf is made from 50% wholemeal stoneground and 50% Cotswold Crunch.
As an elderly carless individual, it is a boon to be able to have a mixed box of five flours delivered to my door.
All Matthews flour is excellent

2 complaints:
1. So much choice make it difficult to decide!
2. Some of the colours of labels are so similar, I sometimes get a bit confused.
But it all makes wonderful bread, pastry and cakes, and no problems with website.

I have just started making sourdough and I have loved experimenting with all the different flours from Spelt to Cotwold Crunch. I like the nifty box they arrive in and the helpful videos. The bread is always delicious. My favourite is spelt mixed with Rye and Churchill white
