Worst pies on the market
Very poor quality filling is like they have scraped bits up off the floor.
The meat and potatoe is like slop and very little meat.
Steak mostly fat gristle and gravy everything is so bland I don't know who owns Hollands but they really need to up their standards or shut down completely.

Tasteless meat and potato family size pie. Admittedly not had any Hollands products for a while but this offering did not warrant the description as a pie. Very little filling and undercooked pastry.

I have always enjoyed the puddings but have noticed a massive decrease in size. One pack of four used to just about fit in my steamer tray - now there is loads of room around them yet they have increased in price!! Either increase price but leave product the same, or decrease size but decrease price too.

Steak and kidney pie quality
Had my first Hollands steak and kidney pie for a while. Filling was small and just mush. My wife recently had a pudding, pretty much the same issue. Won't be getting them again anytime soon.

Absolute disgrace.
Absolute disgrace.
Ruined a British Classic.
After eating 8 Steak and Kidney puddings I can confirm there was about 2-3 small pieces of steak and only 2 small pieces of Kidney I found out of all 8 puddings.
This is shrinkflation gone mad and it snould be illegal for Holland to sell pies and puddings like this that are essentially gravy with one small piece of meat in a pudding if you get lucky.
The nutritional value of these steak and kidney puddings must be close to 0, probably even a negative of nutritional value as these puddings do not contain any meat whatsoever unless you get lucky and are treated to one piece of tiny steak or one piece of kidney but you will probably eat 4 or 5 pies just filled with gravy before finding a pudding with 1tiny piece of steak or kidney. How pathetic!
An absolute disgrace!

Nasty undercooked pastry
The undercooked pastry when heated it is impossible
to get it to taste nice no matter how you cook.
Most likely because using the cheapest ingredients the can find utter stogie pastry formerly a good Company now owned
by a bad Company.

Steak & Kidney Puddings -Epic Fail
We’ve eaten Hollands steak and kidney puddings for 50 years - we are Lancastrians after all.
Not anymore. You’ve changed something, probably to save costs but they are now stodgy and unpalatable.
Bye bye Hollands.

Holland meat and potatoe pie
We purchased Holloands meat and potatoe pies for the first time in several years as they used to be really good
I hope this message goes back to hollonds pies but have my doubts as they must be putting profits way before quality. I have seen bigger Christmas mince pies and the filling was sloppy and nothing like they were in the past one thing I would like to suggest please use less water I know it’s the cheapest ingredient.
I would prefer to pay more for the quality that they have lost making a product cheaper does not mean quality

The puddings have become a joke. Filled with water and gravy. More signs of life on Mars than meat in these puddings.

Very disappointed puddings now disgusting!
Very disappointed. I have enjoyed Holland’s steak and kidney puddings for years but the latest 2 bags of puds are destined for the bin.
They have changed the recipe and included garlic salt so they taste disgusting.
Sorry but I will never be buying another Holland’s pudding until they revive the original recipe. Why make this awful change? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
Update. Six months after leaving a review I have found some original recipe Hollands puddings and have just had a response from the company telling me to contact their customer services. I am hoping they have seen the error of their ways and are now producing edible puddings again.
