Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 54 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the products, citing issues with quality, taste, and texture. Customers frequently mentioned that bread and other baked goods went moldy quickly, often before the best-before date, and described a chemical or unpleasant taste. They also felt that the products had decreased in size while prices remained high. Some people were dissatisfied with the ingredients used, noting a long list of unpronounceable items and the presence of palm oil. A few other people also felt that the packaging was problematic, ripping easily and not keeping the bread fresh. Conversely, a small portion of people were satisfied with certain products like the farmhouse white loaf, soda bread, or thin crumpets, finding them tasty and enjoyable.

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.

I’ve ate warbatons for 44 years & loved it until recently, bread after 1-2 days with plenty of date left goes green/ moldy. Bought lidls own & lovely, lasted 11 days 👍👍👍👍

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I used to think Warburtons Half & Half was ok, but the quality seems to have gone down the pan. Has the recipe changed? The taste and texture is every bit as bad as the bread from Tesco and Hovis.

Poor Quality bread.

Quality is really poor and most of the cheaper supermarket own brands are better. Why sell bread as thick sliced when it is medium at best

Shrunken slices

What on earth has happened to the green extra thick bread, it's more like medium, It has been quite a while since I've bought any as alot of places don't stock the green one and I usually buy my bread in aldi and they never have it but I found myself in asda and they had it so I thought great I'll have the extra thick, what an absolute joke, I'll be going back to aldis extra thick it's proper lovely thick slices and alot cheaper

The toastie loaf I bought was awful

The toastie loaf I bought was awful. Really thin not toastie at all really disappointing as this loaf has to last me all week as I live alone and I’m a pensioner. I used to love this bread and didn’t mind paying a bit more for it, this last loaf was like a really cheap thin sliced bread. Warburtons must think we are stupid . I will never buy it again Warburtons are black listed in my book for there deceit no stars from me.

Does your Bread taste weird now..

Does your Bread taste weird now... Is it dry around edges... Weird smell.... You may have noticed this same sour taste in other products... This is down to the recipe change which is rapeseed oil that replaced sunflower oil in most products... Although deemed as good the bad points overwhelm it... And this was actually band in the 70s for it's acid... Please do your own research on how bad it is.. that's why most foods and snacks have a different taste.. will never touch any food again that contains this.. cheap skates Warburton have gone down the rapeseed route which has made their bread disgusting.

I only gave 1 star so I could write a review on Warburton tea cakes. Never will k buy them again. Dry bread roll with a hint of sugar.wasted 1.35 ... it was disgusting. It is definitely NOT a tea cake, texture was rough, dry no taste 4 currants and falling apart. I'm still in shock. Braces produce beauties of a tea cake. Sorry Warburton 😞 no points only bin!

They continue to mislead consumers by marketing their super thick toastie as an extra thick sliced loaf - it is a medium sliced loaf, the slices are a tiny 17mm in thickness. They are well aware of this complaint and do not care - customer service is woeful. But as long as they can afford to waste dough (sorry) on crusty (sorry again) old Hollywood has beens then I guess their customers don,t count for much.

Think Mr Warburton really need to look at all the negative reviews. Trying to save money so he can pay Samuel Jackson.
Bread is a part of our stable diet and should and never be costly. Shame on you Mr Warburton, your grandfather be turning in his grave .

I don't really understand all the bad reviews. I love Warburtons bread especially the toastie loaf.
I think it's better in the paper packaging, stays fresher and obviously recyclable.
As for it tasting the same as home brand 50p or whatever loaves! Totally disagree, other than maybe M&S & Waitrose I think the home brands cheap bread tastes disgusting. That's my opinion.

I am what is generally described as aged and recently my purchases of Warburtons products to put it mildly have been extremely disappointing.
I actually thought that due to my age my taste buds were changing for the worse. Luckily I checked out Warburtons on Trustpilot and realised that it was Warburtons massive drop in standards that was the cause. What a shame, they were stand alone brilliant.
Trustpilot is now becoming my first point of reference before I purchase. I certainly did not think of food products but I will now…

Smells funny

Purchased an in date orange coloured toastie loaf in Aldi's, I opened the packet it just stank of something of I don't know what. I put the bread in the toaster it came out it just started crumbling the edges are rock hard and it doesn't even fit in the toaster properly. I burped a little while later and could taste something like I said I don't know what that is I won't be buying one of those anymore in fact I've never been a fan of warburtons, somebody actually told me at adistribution centre that they're not very good.
