I always enjoyed the pastry on a meat pie, but lately it is horrible, and the pies look like they have been rolled round the floor with black bits on them. Someone’s idea to change things, but not f... See more

Awful "Steak " pie Pastry akin to dried cardboard, Hollands used to be a pie to look forward to, but now to be avoided at all costs..What rubbish and a disgrace to their relatively new owners. YUK Treating their customers like mugs
Well I'm vegan myself
Well I'm vegan myself. So get Hollands pies for my dog only. Having given my dog different Hollands meat pies. I'd probably say the 'Meat Pie' small round one gets devoured the quickest. Not a conventional review per se, but there it is.

What has happened to Holland pies
What has happened to Holland pies? I grew up eating Holland pies and they were famously great. Not now. I’ve never tasted anything so bad. That’s all the pie flavours. Are they using cheap dog food? 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Large pice of sharp bone !
My grandson found a large piece of bone in his steak and kidney pudding . Sent it back to Hollands who think that £10 postal order and an unwillingness to communicate is acceptable for this major choke hazard ….😡
I’ve googled who now owns Holland pies
I’ve googled who now owns Holland pies, it’s now owned by an Indian businessman part of a conglomerate of food companies. Noticed the same about m & p pies! Slop! Won’t buy again!
Sloppy meat and potato pie Hollands
Just had a meat and potato pie, very sloppy inside, used to have proper potato in it years ago, shame Hollands used to be the best product years ago whats happened why have they gone down, who is making these in your factory??
absolutely disgusting
Had my first experience of a Holland meat & potato pie today. Possibly the worst pie I have ever tasted. A disgusting, pale, insipid pile of mush.
Cheap rubbish
I have just had a Holland minced steak pudding and I have to say it was terrible. Why have they go a sweet taste? The meat was rubbish and tasteless with funny texture. I had a meat pie a while ago and it was like dog food. What has happened to Holland products? A tip would be charge more for the pies but make them like they used to, not by using cheap ingredients. People would rather pay £1.50 instead of £1.00 but get a really nice pie. A local bakers near me can do it so why can’t you? I pay over £2.00 for theirs but go back over and over again.
Don't be fooled by the picture on the packet.
Bought a 2 pack of Holland's peppered Steak pies, expected the pie to look a little like the photograph on the packet they where in. First time I had ever bought the pies and was so disappointed when it came to eating them. The filling was a beige coloured gravy with no pieces of steak, I would describe it as a load of tasteless mush, totally un-appetising. A week earlier I had bought two packs of holland's mince pies which were quite thin and again filled with a mushy gravy so due to the peppered steak pies showing a photo of pieces of steak and dark rich looking gravy I thought they would be ok. I won't waste my money buying Holland's pies in the future.
Shrinkflation rip off!
Got a pack of 4 meat and potato pies from our local Herons freezer shop.
£4 for 4, used to be £2!
Opened them up once home, the size of 2 pence pieces!
All dry pastry with no filling.
What's happened???
Never again - Pukka Pies from now on...

Not Like They Used to Be.

Just had hollands steak puddings and had a few pieces of gristle in mine not very happy they're usually very good I will stick to greens from now on
Holland's Pepper Gristle
I regularly eat Holland's Meat, Potato and Meat and Cheese and Onion pies, so expected the Pepper Steak pies to be on a parr with the other varieties.
My first pie contained one piece of steak and four or five lumps of gristle and a pepper flavoured gravy. I thought it may have been a one off and decided to try one more. The second pie was worse than the first containing only gristle and gravy.
The quality of the 'meat' (or lack of) was very disappointing. The rest of my pies are now in the bin where they belong.
I will never buy a Steak Pie from Holland's again as the meat content is disgusting and inedible.
Bought a steak pie from Tesco totally…
Bought a steak pie from Tesco totally inedible steak was like chewing leather disgusting you should not even be allowed to trade crap
Meatless and potatoless pies, Thought I'd try a meat & potato pie…
Thought I'd try a meat & potato pie today, I bought a pack of four Holland's, what an disgrace they were, absolutely daylight robbery, there wasn't a trace of meat in them, not much of any potato either, how Holland's stay in business god knows, they were terrible, the pastry was as if raw except the rim around top which was as hard as wood, the others will be going in the bin 😡
