TESCO Mince Pies

Price: £1.50 for a box of 6 (23/09/2024) These Tesco mince pies are the standard ‘common or garden’ mince pie offering from Britain’s largest supermarket chain. They are generally the cheapest mince pie variety regularly on sale in Tesco stores. In previous years, they have often been found on special offer at a reduced price […]

TESCO Plant Chef Mince Pies

Price: £2.15 for a box of 6 (06/09/2024) Plant Chef is Tesco’s own brand of 100% plant-based meals and foods. I’m not sure why they felt the need to include mince pies in the Plant Chef range seeing as the other varieties of Tesco mince pies are also suitable for vegetarians. These ones do, nevertheless, […]

TESCO Finest All Butter Pastry Mince Pies

Price: £3.00 for a box of 6 (06/09/2024) These TESCO Finest mince pies are described on the box as “rich, crumbly, all butter pastry packed with a delicious mix of plump vine fruits and glacé cherries.

It’s fine on the flavour front, but texture wise it could do with being a little more cohesive. I […]

Cadbury Brunch Bar (Raisin)

Size: 32g Pack Size: 6 Pack Price: £1.99 (20/08/2020) Verdict: (4/5) This bar is described on the wrapper as “bursting with raisins, oats and a drizzle of honey” and it does live up to its billing. There’s plenty of fruit in it and the taste is great. The texture is also very pleasing as it’s […]

Tesco Honey Granola Bar

Size: 30g Pack Size: 6 Pack Price: £0.89 (19/08/2019) Verdict: (1/5) This bar is nothing to write home about. It’s pretty bland – there’s only the merest hint of honey flavour – and it’s a bit too crumbly to eat without making a mess. Not much good at a desk or out on a run. […]
