Bernard Matthews Recensioni 

Mini Keiv's- well thought I'd add another terrible review.
Mushy, filling awful. Why on earth they changed the recipe!!! Taste testers need sacking 🤦‍♀️

One of my favourite things was Mini Kievs until I had them tonight. Ate one and was shocked how bad they are now, ate another just to see if I imagined it, but no, they've completely ruined them! I offered one to my dog and it threw up, so binned the other 11 on the plate and the other 2 bags in the freezer. I would've gave them to a food bank or family in need but would've got charged with attempted murder.

Liked the old soft moist tasty mini Kievs with rice. These are beyond dreadful never ever again minus 1 !

You have absolutely ruined the mini kievs. As soon as you put them in your mouth it’s a disgusting texture, almost like it’s been pre-chewed- not to mention the anaemic looking breadcrumbs with zero crunch. The sauce inside is absolutely rancid, it used to be so creamy and flavourful and now it is almost like a gel and has no flavour other than sweaty, fungus infested feet. I am extremely disappointed in this ‘shrinkflation’ it’s absolutely disgusting.

Had to give one star just to leave a review but in fact it’s less than zero stars. I bought the mini kievs for a bit of nostalgia for my husband’s birthday celebration. What a load of inedible crap they are. Rock hard coating, grey gritty meat and paste of god knows what in the middle- cat food maybe?? I was expecting during the cooking to see and smell the garlic sauce oozing to the surface, but nothing. No sauce just paste. It’s sad as we’ve raved on to our adult kids about how good these are but they’re nothing like we remember. Throwing in the bin along with the other uncooked bag from the freezer!

What has happened to the mini Kievs. Bought some yesterday and had them last night, the meat was mushy, the 'garlic sauce' was horrible and don't even get me started on the 'breadcrumbs'. Won't be buying any more

Never have i ever been so dissapointed. Spat it out! What the hell happened? Kievs were immense and now they taste rotten no creamy sauce no juicy meat just mush. Vile

What’s gone on over at Bernard Matthew’s. Every product turned to utter rubbish!

Final straw is the mini kievs, totally inedible!

I'm absolutely gutted, I used to really love Bernard Matthews mini kievs, bought a bag of 13, bit of nostalgia. They were so disappointing, small, grey, mush, no sauce, no nothing, it was like eating a bag of soggy cheese and onion crisps! No sign of meat, no sauce, no creamy garlic, just balls of rankness.

I had mini kievs this evening for my dinner.... Well, I how shocked I was to discover that the turkey has been replaced with what tasted like cat food. Absolutely shocking

My favourite ham has been changed and it’s more like dog food :( I’m sad about this! The business might as well shut down now the standards are way off now and cheap!

I remember the old golden turkey drummers…. They were tasty and juicy and moreish.

Bought a bag of these recently in 2025 and all I can say is they are absolutely disgusting! Their texture, taste and smell looks worse than cat food. They smell awful. Like kidney or something

I’m not sure what this company have done or changed, but I don’t really feel that these things are fit for human consumption.

Horrible

Got rhe wafer thin turkey ham slices for the first time in ages as I couldn't find them anywhere. Now I know why! They are now disgusting. Ultra processed mush the texture is vile. I would've preferred the price increase to the cheap shite that I'm buying now. Bernard matthews used to be such a good brand after my recent purchases I might aswell buy the supermarkets own, it would taste better

Oh dear, if product didn't have Bernard Matthews on the front I would think this was a very very cheap foreign brand, mini Kiev's are nothing like they were, the meat is dark grey mush instead of white, with no filling and just a tiny dot where it should go instead of the large cavity it used to be for the garlic and herb.
Hamwhich, used to be nice ham and cheese slices together in breadcrumbs, now it's mush all mixed together and tastes horrendous.
Turkey ham, used to love this, I couldn't believe my eyes when I bought it a few weeks ago, it was sliced mush, no exaggeration, it felt, looked and tasted just a mushy paste shaped into a slice.
I honestly don't know how this brand can survive in the UK because this is the worst food I've ever tasted and I cannot imagine anyone buying it twice, so sad.

Used to eat the Mini Kievs all the time, but last bag will be our last. Obviously changed recipe and manufacturing method, as no longer balls: more like flattened cylinders. Tasteless, with off-white, bitter meat and almost no filling. Had a few mouthfuls and trashed the rest. Very disappointed and won't be buying again. Yuk!

Worst processed turkey ever. Meat (if you can call it that)was brown and tasteless. 90% of the pack of 13 had no filling what so ever. Will never buy these again. Disgusting waste of money. 0 stars if I could.

Bernard Matthew’s mini kievs- I would put a zero star if it allowed. These are absolutely nothing like the old version. The meat or inside is like a paste and is a weird colour, and the texture and taste are nothing like before. No flavour, and totally unappealing. Made me feel a little nauseous just trying one.

It deserved no stars, Bernard Matthews died in 2010, since then it was brought out by people who care about nothing but money, tried drummers for the first time in a while, I would not feed them to livestock, you can tell their is hardly any meat in them, tasteless dry rubbish, I don't see how they could charge people money for their turkey drummers, will never buy a Bernard Matthews product again, they have all be modified too, not just the drummers, the worst food I have ever and I mean ever eaten........

If I could give these no stars I would.

Don't have to worry about the garlic centre running out any more as there isn't any!

Totally different shape, no longer round with a golden covering. They are now more of flat shape with no flavour what so ever. Dry and tasteless.

Never will I buy these again.

Bought mini Kiev's for the first time in a while, wish I hadn't. The meat was mushy and not a single one contained any filling.
These used to be really tasty but something has obviously changed.
