Great porridge
I love my porridge and most of the time I eat mine cold or make overnight oats.
After discovering their website I ordered a few packs to try.
Goods arrived well packaged, easy to make, quality ingredients used to make this porridge, tastes great.
I had a slight issue with one of my deliveries and after contacting them I must say that their customer service is fantastic.
Goldilocks would love this
Tried this porridge after seeing it on Dragons Den. Ordered some from the website and it arrived in a few days.
The flavours I’ve tried so far have been absolutely delicious. Also very filling and low calorie which for me, as someone who struggles with their weight, is ideal. I’ve tried many other instant porridges and these are the best by far.
Also great value for money which is always a bonus.
No nasties!
Have now tried almost all the flavours available and none have disappointed. I make it up using half almond milk & half water and it turns out lovely and creamy.
Porridge with Stones
Porridge with Stones
I had a bag of the strawberry and peanut porridge it had multiple stones it. I can only presume that they were swept from the floor into the porridge. Not sure how else stones would make it into a bag.
Been in dialogue trying to resolve the issue since early January. Still not resolved and have asked for the company to call me to discuss to no avail.
Dairy Free and Delicious
Omg people are so dramatic in these reviews. If it's too thick ("wallpaper paste consistency") then just add more hot water you wally!! It tastes fine, I like the range of flavours and appreciate the dairy free. It does make a very small portion so I double the serving size. Crazy how the world doesn't revolve around me and I can adapt the instructions.....
I was expecting to hate these porridges…
I was expecting to hate these porridges because they're exactly what they say on the bag. All the good stuff never usually tastes good. First couple of bites take some adjustment - it tastes abit bitter to start off with because I'm so used to breakfast that is packed with sugar. After a couple of bites tho, I was beginning to love it. Then a second bowl I was loving it. And a third instead of supper... and 4th instead of lunch... I cant stop eating it 🤣 i mix different flavours together to try... each time I feel like a connoisseur because they're so good. I love them! Massive fan here 🥰
Tasty
I'm really enjoying the porridge. I've tried all of the flavors except the apple and cinnamon one (cant find it in the shops sadly) my favorite one is caffe latte an blueberries and banana. I enjoy it as overnight oats with yogurt ,or with warm almond milk and sometimes I add a teaspoon of peanut butter or chopped banana 😋. Best part about this porridge is that is not packed with added sugar ,or nasty adatives. I'm always well stocked ,as I don't wanna run out of it 😂 great start to the day for me.

That dragon well n truly pulled his own pants down investing in this. Disgusting stuff in all honesty.
Excellent
Excellent! I tried three flavours: Chocolate, Caffe Latte and the limited edition Apple & Cinnamon. They are all very tasty, my favourite being the apple & cinnamon, so please keep this in your usual range! Please!
Easy to make, creamy, tasty, no sugar or other additives and gluten free. What more could you want?
High Quality and Nice Tasting but a Little Pricey
This is clearly a high quality product that uses good ingredients and tastes nice, although some flavours (classic chocolate and strawberry & peanut) are better than others (blueberry & banana).
It is the best instant porridge that I have come across and I would recommend it, but there are 2 things that prevent me giving it 5 stars. The first is that I think there is improvement in the taste. The second is the cost. As someone who eats quite a lot for breakfast, I won't get more than 3 to 4 servings per bag, which makes it quite an expensive option.
Order not received
Ordered the starter pack over 2 weeks ago and not received it bearing in mind they charged £3.99 for delivery.
Emailed customer services 4 days ago asking where my order is and no reply, not even an acknowledgment.
Love the porridge
Love the porridge, banana and blueberry is my favourite
So pleased I tried it
I’ve been eating porridge for years and mainly had to stick to non flavoured ones as the amount of added sugar in flavoured is obscene, over 20 grams in popular brands. From the first taste you can tell this porridge is very good quality and I love the really natural not too sweet flavours. They have done a fantastic job combining healthy ingredients and natural flavours in a quick and easy to make porridge. I have two bowls a day and at 50 pence per bowl it’s an absolute steal. Thanks to the makers of this super porridge I’m now a life long customer!
No added nasties.
I'm working my way through the taster pack of flavours and so far, most have been lovely. The red berry didn't work for me so I just added more fruit. I didn't expect to like the coffee one but it's currently my favourite. I often add a splash of milk to make it more creamy and blast for 30 seconds in the microwave to get it really hot. I really like the fact that it only contains recognisable ingredients, no added nasties that you don't know what they are.
Poor customer service and taste
Poor customer service. Nutritional info on website incorrect for the 60g pots.
I thought I’d try nonetheless
Disappointing. I followed instructions precisely but unpleasant… and I’m not picky!
My mum recently bought the banana and…
My mum recently bought the banana and blueberry porridge sachets after reading about the company. I like the fact it’s a British company, products are sourced here and of good quality, however, it doesn’t warrant the cost of the packets. I think it is extortionate for 7 bowls! This particular flavour wasn’t as described. The banana isn’t coming through, you can only taste blueberry. I was expecting a burst of both but unfortunately didn’t live up to the expectation. Would I buy again, probably not!

Gruel
Wow ! This has to be the most bland awful bowl of , I don’t know what , ive ever had in my 53 years of being alive , how people eat this stuff is beyond me , even Oliver Twist would struggle to eat a bowl let alone a second , straight in the bin it goes .

Amazing porridge
After reading some of the negative reviews on here I felt compelled to give my 2 cents worth… I’ve only tried the caffe latte and chocolate flavours so far but they are both absolutely incredible… being the coffee lover that I am I’d rate the caffe latte flavour as arguably the best porridge I’ve ever eaten… I made it the old fashion way in the microwave with milk but it came out absolutely perfect consistency and taste… I’ve recommended GBPC to everyone… nice work guys… can’t wait to try the other flavours

Doesn’t Quite Live up to the Hype
I was so looking forward to the wonderful tasting sounds of these porridge’s. I bought the Starter pack of 4 varieties. First of all they have no sweetness to them at all in spite of the hype. I was hoping to cut out the honey I usually put on porridge but it needed it still. No big deal but it was extra calories I don’t need! The worst part though is the strange flavour which I can only think is the gluten free oats. I am going to persevere as have four packs to get through. I should give it two stars but I admire the concept and the ingredients sound great and the packaging is very seductive so have given an extra star for those. Am hoping I get to love it!
Starter pack…
I borought the starter pack and was really excited to be able to try this product. I was pulled in by the lovely packaging and promise of the nice flavours.
I'm sorry to say but I made it according to the instructions but it tastes dreadful even after adding fruit and yogurt. I really enjoy porridge but will be sticking to good old fashioned faithful porridge oats.
