Bought the best sellers pack, which they call 'six of the best beans', after seeing a review of, I think butter beans, in the Guardian Feast supplement. Only tried the Black Beans and Red Kidney Bean... See more

I've never eaten any baked beans that weren't Heinz and I'm in my 50s - until I ate Bold Bean Co's baked beans. They are delicious - a slightly richer, deeper tomato flavour and more creamy beans. T... See more

My partner bought me some of the plain sauce beans which I was not to impressed with, especially for the price and I told her not to get anymore. But a week later she got me the chilli beans. WOW game... See more

The beans are so delicious

The beans are so different to the canned variety. Soft and sumptuous and the taste is much improved. I have used the bean stock in every meal and this has added to the flavour.
The packaging that the beans come in is effective but was difficult to get into (purchased online) but delivering was more of a faff as you need to be in to receive the parcel (I guess because of the dangers of breakage)

Greenwashing.com

Greenwashing.com

Immediately put off this brand by the plethora of meat and dairy-based recipes across their website and instagram. This only serves to prove their digenious claims purporting they are 'sustainable', and how they truly support the physiological and environmental benefits of going plant-based...

Promoting recipes with beef(!), chicken, pork, and numerous other meat and dairy items contradicts not only their marketing claims but also the product itself; beans are a vegan/vegetarian staple and we should be transitioning away from beef, and reducing meat consumption, not *pairing* it with beans ...

Hi Jess, thank you so much for writing in and firstly, it's brilliant to see how much you love beans. It sounds like you are already a bean champ! We initially deliberated about being a vegan brand, but then realised that the vegan community are already converts to the bean! Where we can make the most impact is by showing the MASSES that beans can be absolutely delicious (sadly to date, beans haven't had the best rep!). Once people realise that, they tend to be more and more open to meals where the main event is beans rather than meat or fish. For us, that is a success. Many people see "vegan" as a compromise, and we want to show people that eating beans is something they should WANT to do, whether they eat meat or not. Our mission is to make the masses obsessed with beans, and we think that this is the best way of doing that currently. Team Bold Bean

These beans are so delicious.

These beans are so delicious.. great that you can eat them straight out of the jar. The lids are very hard to unscrew and had to use boiling water and tap the side of the lids with a spoon on everyone to release them.
A small price to pay for such great produce

Butter Bean Brilliant

These guys are “Butter Bean Brilliant”! Amazing product, great website with some amazing recipes. Fast friendly service and did I mention the beans are insanely good! You haven’t tried beans until you have tried these bold beans. Seriously, it’s time we made beans the star of the show!

The product is fab

The product! The beans are absolutely sensational and we love them I'm considering getting the subscription but it's a bit too much to commit and hard to know how much to get. It would be good if you offered rewards for purchases or money off for more bought kind of like a loyalty program

I discovered Bold Bean Co by chance

I discovered Bold Bean Co by chance; I am now hooked on their high quality products. i ordered a mixed selection of 12 large jars. Arrived beautifully package, after some emails letting me know of some delivery delay (strikes!). A great customer experience and i will definitely continue to order from them directly.

Life changing legumes

Life changing legumes - great service with great enthusiasm. Great recipes. we are huge fans - only downside is cost but not when compared to meat or fish.

LEGEND! Thank you so much Angus. The jars are at a higher price point in comparison to tins but when they can become the star of the meal, like you said they can be compared to price of meat or fish. We appreciate your support SO much 🙌

The jars are impossible to open!

The jars are impossible to open! I have to open them with either a tin opener or a screwdriver! Found the black beans quite slimy in texture. The butter beans and white beans are delicious, but the jars are just too difficult to open.

Hey Mandy, we hermetically seal our jars to ensure when in transit no contaminants can get into your beans. That being said we realise they can sometimes be very tricky to open and have come up with something that will definitely help you out! We want to gift you a jar opener which should help you with this issue in the future. So sorry to hear about your experience with the black beans, we would love to know the batch number and best before date so we can investigate.

The best beans ever

Absolutely delicious beans - they are fast becoming a kitchen cupboard staple. We love the Queen beans range. The recipes are brilliant and inspiring too. We feel so much healthier - eating far less meat and a lot more delicious bold beans.

The beans are delicious

The beans are delicious, and nicer by far than the canned versions you buy in the supermarket. I have added the bean liquid to soups etc as well so no waste!
Customer service is amazing - my first order contained 3 broken jars even though they are very well packed. They replaced these very quickly and with no issues.

Thanks Rachel! Sorry again for the breakages, glad we managed to get them sorted for you. AGREED bean stock is liquid gold and can be used in so many recipes!

Completely obsessed

So far I’ve purchased 72 jars of your AMAZING BEANS! I think that speaks volumes alone. However, not only are the beans delicious and the BEST I've ever tasted they enhance every dish I make. They’re that good I can’t help myself from eating a few spoons straight from the jar! BUT not only are the beans amazing you as a company are truly brilliant! Your customer service , your delivery, your packing is all excellent and I love all the ideas and inspiration for recipes on your website and Instagram. 💚🌱🫘

Sharon, WOW we are blown away by your kind words. You are a TRUE Bean Champ, we are all guilty of eating some of the jar before they go into the recipe! Check your email for a little thank you from us.
