There is hardly any fruit in Warburton's Fruity Teacakes despite the claim on the packet of 'plump and juicy currants, sultanas and raisins'. Other brands including shop own brands are better.

My partner & I both agree. The taste is actually unpleasant. We cannot buy this Warburtons Wholemeal bread anymore. It is also not pleasant to eat. What on earth has gone wrong here! Try M&S bread -... See more

Not real bread

Poor quality bread with a chemical taste, real bread doesn't have preservatives that taste bad. Even my 7 year old thinks that the breakfast muffins tasted much worse than Mc Donalds so that says it all!

Absolutely disgusting.

Warburton, no longer make "proper bread " it's just soggy tasteless dough. I used to love Warburtons but, not any longer. I have emailed the company for information but surprise surprise there has been no reply. This doesn't surprise me. Yuk.

There has been a change in the recipe

There has been a change in the recipe, the bread is no longer soft. It is artificial and non existent. It is really dry and has no taste. It reminds me of bread you get on holiday but not nice tasting. I’ve had an IBS flare up today because of this… please bring back the old recipe 🥲

Thick toastie bread.

We've been using thick toastie bread for years but it has gone terrible very rare it's fresh when delivered to shop and the wax wrapping paper needs to go, sort it out warbies.

Great customer service

Submitted a semi joking complaint as one of my bagels was very small. Asked for a replacement bagel. Credit to them they wrote to me with £4 of vouchers! Great customer service

White sliced loaf was all stars - SHAPE not quality

Tried to let Warburtons know about my observations over recent months that the small white medium sliced soft loaf was more often than not full of misshaped slices. Rather than loaf tin shaped they were regularly star shaped (shrinkage from each side & top). Consequently spreading was a mess and uniform cutting for a mixed sandwich platter produced 'odd-ball' triangles from star shaped slices more suited to star atop a Christmas tree. As ever by return was asked by Warburtons for the ubiquitous photos date stamp on closure (binned) tab details bakery best by date, shop name, etc etc (not yet the ASDA checkout ladies maIden name!!!). As this issue has surfaced regularly over the most recent 4-5 months months and is a regular frustration in the Cooper household, I cannot beleive it's an isolated, badly transported, stored or delivery problem as the search continues for a loaf that's loaf shaped (not much to ask for ? perhaps it's a Scottish thing?) as presented by the current marketing messages and 'A' list celebs. Perhaps more focus on the production/product would be beneficial rather than the promise of bread that's out of this world BY A STAR !

Described as "Thick Bread"

Described as "Thick Bread", think the person who catagorised this as Thick, was thicker than the bread!

The loaf remains the same size, no problem with that, the price or the quality and taste.

But if your gonna call this Thick bread, maybe you need to go to Specsavers!

rubbish bread---------- Forwarded message ----------

hi
i have beena warburtons while blue bag bread eater for at least 20 years and your product has gone downhill, especilly these last 2 years.

the problems are bread slices with holes in them, loaves that are weird shapes and to beat all the latest problem getting loaves with different thickness slices as per photos.
what do you do cut the loaves and shuffle and deal.

i enclose photos, lost the best ones from last week, i can always send some more when i buy my next loaf.

making bread with all the latest technologies must be easier than years ago but your loaves get worse all the time.

please explain why you cant make loaves without faults, think i know, you have bought new machinery to make it faster but it does not work properly.

none of their methods to complain work

Having bought the last 3 tiger bread…

Having bought the last 3 tiger bread large loaves,I have to say they are a disgrace to the word bread.Each loaf has a crusty top,yes that reason for buying but when it’s opened the bread is hard and stale from the crusts inedible top and it’s impossible to eat.Ive even fried it in the pan for my bacon sandwich to no avail.Its to hard to eat,A Childs rusk would be softer,So Warburtons you have had the benefit of the doubt with your crap tiger bread so I’m not going to buy anymore.I find the local stores make of tiger bread much softer and lasts longer.Even the ducks couldn’t eat it as it was so hard.So Warburtons that’s it,I for one will not be buying any of your dreadful shrunk bread and buns again.I am a pensioner and can ill afford to throw food away but there is no choice with yours.Get a grip before you lose thousands of your faithful customers

GREEDY COMPANY

why are companies jumping on the bandwagon of the government and council tax by being greedy and taking everything off the British people? sweet smaller and price hiked up.Warburtons buns are smaller and prices have risen. do these companies think the British people are stupid that people don't know the difference?. greedy companies using underhand tactics to pick the pockets of hard-working people. RIP OF BRITAIN. YOUR COMPANIES SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. I PUT THESE BUNS IN THE BIN AS I WOULD OF CHOKED ON THEM AS I FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN ROBBED. IV TOLD MY WIFE NEVER BUY THESE AGAIN

Gluten free bloomer

The bread itself was pretty good for gluten free bread, great taste and texture. So why the 1 star review? The light dusting of GF flour on top as a decorative feature. In my mind I know it's GF flour, but after years following a strict GF diet I dislike the feel of flour on my fingers as it makes me worry that I'm inadvertently going to consume gluten.
