Aldi All Butter Almond Mince Tart Review 2024
Review: These mince pie tarts have been a massive hit in recent years. Aldi are the masters of these. The last few years they’ve had the standard and sloe gin versions score 8s and 9s all over the place.

Aldi Specially Selected Ballycastle Mince Pie Review 2024
Review: These scored well last year, very well. A big 9/10. My comments centred around the Ballycastle cream topping and how lovely it was. Same again Aldi? Pretty close i think.
Tesco Finest All Butter Pastry Mince Pie Review 2024
Review: Tesco’s Finest range of mince pies usually score well and this is no exception. To start we’ve got a fancy star design on top with little cut out pieces and a shake of icing sugar too. It’s a good looking mince pie – something you’d be happy to bring out to guests for sure.
Tesco Finest Crumble Topped Mince Pie Review 2024
Review: Many crumble topped mince pies have scored well over the years. And this Tesco pie hasn’t changed much since last time I tried it. The curious thing is they don’t come in a case. Just in the plastic tray – so you’ll 100% need a plate.
Aldi Specially Selected All Butter Mini Mince Pie Review 2024
Review: I’ve reviewed many mini mince pies over the years and I’ve never encountered one worth having. It’s not like a standard mince pie is a huge eat anyway, so do we even need mini versions?

Review: There are some staples in the world of British food, Walkers Crisps, Heinz beans…and of course Mr Kiplings cakes. In Christmases gone by, the standard Mr Kipling mince pie has scored fairly reasonably with a handful of 7/10 to his name.
Co-op Merry Mince Pie Review 2023
Review: Guess who’s back, back again…it’s this blog, tell a friend. Enough of the fanfares, down to business – but not before saying thanks to the countless people who’ve hassled, cajoled and guilted me into reviewing mince pies again for the 2023 season.
Tesco Finest Spiced Rum Mince Pie Review 2021
Review: There’s plenty of repetitive themes in the mince pie world, and if there’s a alcoholic twist to a mince pie it’s usually brandy/cognac or maybe a hint of gin. But here we have my favourite drop, a spiced rum mince pie. These Tesco Finest pies are nice to look at with a lattice top… Read More
