Mini Kiev's have always been a favourite for me. But these new cheap versions taste like turkey grease mix with a breaded stuffing mix type. With a nasty pungent cheese inside nothing like the creamy... See more

The new recipe is vile
The new recipe is vile, inedible. Such a disappointment.
I want to cry!
I want to cry!! Bought a bag of mini turkey kievs for a bit of nostalgia as I hadn't had them in over a decade, they used to be my absolute favorite cheat meal, creamy garlicy yumminess!! What the hell happened, couldnt even smell them cooking, took one bite and 🤮instantly spat it out and the rest went in the bin!! Absolutely disgusting grey mushiness, no yummy garlic, just horrible balls of sadness. These things were inedible, tempted to call my lawyer for compensation due to the trauma!! Never buying anything bernard matthews again, this was a sad day 😔
REVOLTING
Used to be nice but the newer version needs to be binned - DO NOT BUY THESE, a different factory is making them and they clearly have no quality control whatsoever, bland grey meat and a dry powdery filling. Cannot believe that BM is allowing this garbage to carry it's name - they are truly revolting.

Where do I begin ,such a huge disappointment .when I saw these in sainsbury I just knew I had to get them for my adult son as a nostalgic treat .they are not the same product as we remember from when he was a small child .they are now tasteless and no longer have the same texture and flavour. We will not waste our money again.
New mini Kievs SUCK
How the new mini kievs went out the door and passed any kind of quality control I have no idea. As others have said, I had to double check to see if I'd accidentally bought a plant based (with that rank fake cheese taste) product.
Bye bye, mini kievs.
The mini kievs used to be one of my favourite things to eat for a quick meal. The ones I had tonight were disgusting. After eating one I actually got the packet out the bin, convinced I had bought a plant-based variety or some kind of knock off. What has happened to them? They taste vile! You've just lost a customer, sadly.
Revolting revolting revolting
If i could score lower than 1 star i would. Ive had the mini Kievs for so long. Got some yesterday and thought it was just a package change but lord was i wrong. I cooked them today and to say they are revolting is an understatement. They taste bizarre, hard bread crumbs like a biscuit, garlic in the middle is watery and doesnt even taste like garlic. They are so bad I binned them and not even half were eaten. Avoid like the plague.

I managed to find an old batch after visiting 5 stores. Im coming to terms this will be the last batch i ever buy if they stick with the change to the new ones. They are awful. Ive been eating these weekly for 15 years. But. Everything changes. All things must come to an end.

I used to absolutely love Bernard Matthews mini chicken Kiev balls .. absolutely banging .. bought a packet today and was horrified .. absolutely disgusting … I will never buy them ever again .. what the hell was even in them some cheap filler crap? Please bring back the old receipt.
Not what they used to be.
So disappointed with the mini Kiev's. They used to be my absolute favourite as a child. I bought a couple of packets and have been mentally scared. Gray mush with a fousty cheese centre, nothing like they used to be. I Have thrown them in the bin and will be avoiding in the future.
Bernard have a word
Bernard have a word, should be ashamed
