Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 65 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Consumers frequently mentioned that the bread products tasted extremely dry, like cardboard, and sometimes carried an unpleasant chemical or plastic flavor. Many people also experienced persistent issues with mold appearing on the crusts well before the expiration date. Others expressed deep frustration regarding smaller slice sizes, reduced quantities, and a poor overall value for the money. Some reviewers were happy with specific items, praising the soft texture and great taste of certain traditional loaves. A few customers also enjoyed the wonderful crispness of products like crumpets and fresh soda bread.

Sour Dough wrapper has a strong plastic/chemical smell, especially a few days after opening, then the bread tastes awful. Shame as the bread is good otherwise and it didn't used to have this proble... See more

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.

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 ----------

---------- 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.

I love Warburtons bread

I love Warburtons bread. But please please get rid of that waxed wrapper. You can't reseal it, it rips when picked up from the shelf. No matter how careful you open the wax packet it rips apart meaning bread goes off quicker than other breads with the plastic wrapper. Come on Warburtons is this a trick to make us buy more bread because we can't reseal it?, so fed up of this now

Warburtons thick toastie is disgusting

Warburtons thick toastie is disgusting. It does not get hot in the toaster, it just browns or darkens off and goes hard. It does not stay hot enough when taking it from the toaster to the plate and buttering it instantly. The butter or margarine does not melt into it and it spreads cold. Then you go to eat it, and it is hard and cold! This is less than a minute after leaving the toaster. This is horrific. It is not thick as stated on the packaging and I will never ever buy it ever again. Appaling. I am putting the rest of the loaf in the bin so it does not insult me so much ever again.

Bought a loaf of this rubbish some time…

Bought a loaf of this rubbish some time ago and it had holes right though it. Complaint was sent and they did send me 2 vouchers which were useless as the shop would not accept them. They then said they would send me a cheque if i sent them back. I did and have not heard a thing since. I have now asked them 4 times and the have just ignored me.

Warburtons Bread now DRY and packed badly.

I have been trying other makers of breads for about 3 months now. Due to either my local store not stocking OR selling out of WARBURTONS Blue Loaf bread. The surprising development is I prefer other makes as they taste and last longer. Now Warburton's Blue loaf sliced bread is a last resort. I have 6 children.
