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.

Warburton no power

War Burton plant power
I was attracted by the promise of various seeds and pulses that are used to make this bread
What a disappointment!
This bread has no ‘body’ it is much too soft to spread butter on it. The slice collapsed. Apart from the small seeds covering the top the rest of the ingredients must have all be milled which makes it no different to brown or whole meal bread.
What a shame. Result: I shall keep well clear of plant power.

What has happened to Warburtons Toastie?

We have always bought Warburton toastie bread for the last few years, it was always brilliant but the last few weeks something has changed and not for the better and I don’t mean the price. Can warburton tell us what they have done to spoil a really excellent product, we have decided to try alternative suppler for toastie bread

Bought some Warburton cinnamon and raisin baps. They tasted awful and I had to throw them in the bin. I checked the label and has gas E920 in it. I looked it up and it said synthetically made Don't buy these baps.

What has happened to Warburtons large white loaves? I have now tried both the toastie and the blue wrapper. Things have changed over the past few months. The texture is bumpy and if left on a plate for 30 mins. the top side appears stale.We have used it for the past 5 years and can now see a definite difference.NOW DREADFUL

Now I am not complaining about…

Now I am not complaining about Warburtons products, although they are mediocre, no, I am concerned about their customer service and looking at the lack of response from Warburtons on this site have every reason to be!
I was driving my partner to work at about 05.20 on Wednesday, the road was wet and the speed limit 30 mph.
Suddenly I noticed a lorry approaching us from the rear at a speed that must of been in excess of 60 mph. The driver of the lorry then positioned it just a couple of feet from our rear bumper and put on his full beam headlamps and then started flashing them. This abhorrent behaviour continued all the way to the end of the road until we parted on different exits on the roundabout, it was then we realised this lorry is owned by Warburtons. Myself and my partner were shocked by this driving , she is also a driver of PSV and HGV and this was above and beyond dangerous and stupidity. This is supposed to be a professional driver, I understand how they get away with driving like this, that's because the only time you see a police car around here is when they are returning to finish their duties or in a local supermarket car park when the officers are inside wondering around with an armfull of junk food, what I do not understand is why? 30 mph speed limit, a wet road, in which pets and wildlife can run out in front of you at anytime, commuters crossing the road in the dark to get to the local station and a dangerous lunatic who seems hell bent on killing someone with the lorry he is driving.
Needless to say I told Warburtons, very strongly, about my concerns but it seems they have chosen to ignore me and ignore the fact that a dangerous lunatic is speeding around in one of their lorries! Most of us have seen or understand what happens when a speeding twenty tonne lorry hits an animal, a car or a person but investigating after a collision is usually too late!
Well done Warburtons!

Very disappointed long time customer

Warburton what have you done to my no added sugar wholemeal sliced loaf. Have been eating this for ages, having changed from regularly eating a thick sliced wholemeal from another brand when I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes, and was looking at reducing sugar etc. Have not looked back since as this was much tastier, although sold as medium sliced, was pretty much as thick, a good dense slice that held brilliantly in overloaded sandwiches, toasted brilliantly as well under the grill, giving a good firm crispy slice of toast - but no longer it seems.
I recently, not unusually, made myself a single slice of bread and peanut butter to accompany my warm milk to help me get off to sleep, but the bread seemed to be thin, both in volume and density. I thought my perceptions were having a bad night, but since then my perception of it has remained the same, very little body to it. If it goes under the grill, instead of a good firm crispy slice of toast, it's trying to curl upwards at the end, despite the usual regular turning, and rather than being solid and crispy it now falls into bits. I'm convinced you've changed a product which I, and others, considered the best on the market to something of decidedly inferior quality, in my opinion at least.

Ripped off

Went to Tesco today and bought some Warbutons slices last year at this time they sold them for a £1.00 a pack,today they wanted £1.40 they have been rising through the year but with the inflation rate been just over 10% I think Mr Warbuton is taking the micky or are they just robbers?? Make your own mind up Iknow what I think!!!

I'm currently unemployed due to ill health and suffer from mental health issues along with severe depression.
I rarely go out .
While I love car boots locally I go when I feel well enough.
June the 10th 2022 I visited car boot it gets so busy I park outside on pavement ready to make a quick getaway when I feel anxious or crowds get too much for me.
On the day mentioned I parked where I always park using my blue badge.
There was a Warburtons lorry parked further behind me on road. Driver was not in the lorry so I assumed he was delivering bread to one stop shop across the road.
I put some bits I'd bought into the boot then opened my drivers door to fetch my travel mug out as I have chronic rhinitis , my throat gets so dry I carry a drink everywhere.
As I took a drink I was leaning back to replace mug in cup holder when Warburtons lorry drove forward and clipped my drivers door .
I'm profoundly deaf so I didn't detect the engine noise with all other activity going on around me .
The driver had only traveled 10 to 15 foot from parked position.
He got out , told me he didn't see me (obviously) accepted full responsibility.
Completed accident form from his lorry.
He told me that the lorry has cameras all around it which I assumed would prove liability.
A week went by with no word from Warburtons either to me or my insurance company.
I contacted them direct via phone and email.
Another week went by with no word from them again ,so I again contacted them to be told they were dealing with it.
I rang my insurance to find that Warburtons still had not been in contact with them.
Warburtons have since denied all responsibility,claim I'm at fault and that I damaged their lorry (size of a 5p dink ) but they are not asking for me to reimburse them!
The damage to my door and wing totals £1.500 a small amount to a million pound company.
However Warburtons refused to give video footage to my insurance company.
I decided to go through small claims court myself , but Warburtons put a very aggressive nasty solicitor on to it who counter claimed me saying I didn't follow the correct procedure (I'm a housewife not a lawyer)
I supplied the video footage from my phone showing lorry and registration yet this was meant to be put in writing obviously Warburtons solicitor is too busy to view contents !
I then was advised to let my insurance company take the claim up.
Six months later Warburtons still refuse to supply footage.
My insurance has doubled and I'm paying the price now for even reporting it !
I sold my car with damage having to accept the reduced price by £1.500 to a local mechanic.
I cannot believe that such a massive well known company can be so petty and mean spirited it's pocket change to them.
While I exist upon benefits a single parent (my x partner could not cope with my medical situation)
I'm simply devastated and am struggling to comprehend Warburtons attitude.
Shame on you Warburtons

I will never buy another product from your range nor will family and friend's.

I hope this highlights how the rich stay rich and trod upon those who helped them achieve their goals

Worst loaf I've ever bought

Worst loaf I've ever bought. Supposed to be "thick Toastie", more like medium sliced. Also consistency was terrible. Every other slice was a different thickness.
Having worked in a bakery I know that their blades were not set right.
And the packaging is a joke. Not resealable, and material so fragile it tears.
Without a doubt worst loaf ever.
Would give zero rating if it was possible.

Why bother making bread. Maybe try cardboard boxes.

I recently got a loaf of Toastie Warburtons sent to me form a major supermarket as a substitute.
I usually have another brand.
Well my god. How awful. I have seen tastier looking cardboard. Its is thin and listless. Not exactly soft but not stale either. It had holes running through the bread.
I toasted some and simply ended up with hard bits of board with no taste. i really dont see the point in turning out a product like this.
I will not be buying again unless i need some packing materials.
