Spoilt by excess gristle.
Disappointing. Our first purchase of this make of haggis. Although an initial lovely peppery taste, mouthful after mouthful was full of gristle and unpleasant to eat. An inferior product unfortunately. Also surprised to find beef in the ingredients. Wouldn’t choose again.
Amazing treat
Never tried this before. Microwaved as per instructions and enjoyed every morsel.
Haggis doesn't traditionally have any beef in it.

Quite the worst haggis I have ever tasted!
Quite the worst haggis I have ever tasted. Claims to be the UH's No, 1! How they can do that I don't know. It is sad that people who have never tasted haggis and want to try it, might be faced with this. Put them off for life. Full of gristle, dry and not much taste. Mostly pork & with little lamb. Should be the other way round.
Good blend of ingredients and seasoning, including
Good blend of ingredients and seasoning, including pork and lamb lungs, beef liver and beef heart. I think this product had improved a lot since last time i purchased it. I really like the pepper used. Not over powering and reminds me of the haggis our family butcher made up. This haggis is much more to my taste than McSweens supermarket haggis which I find to be bland and greasy and with nothing but lamb lung and 24% beef fat leaves me reaching for the indigestion tablets.
Awful with no redeeming feature.
We have occasionally eaten Simon Howie Black pudding and found it quite palatable, comfortably worth 4 stars. We eat haggis regularly on Burns Night and probably 3 or 4 times per year otherwise. This haggis I can only describe as the worst I have ever tasted. The texture looked ok when it was microwaved as per instructions. The smell was rather livery, the taste was utterly bland, even my wife ( not a lover of spicy food) said it had no pepper in it. But, best until last, eating it was unpleasant, every mouthful contained little ( and not so little) pieces of gristly pipe that were inedible, perhaps unchewable is a more appropriate word. 90% of it went into the waste bin. I washed away the taste with my annual tot of whisky and was thankful that our usual Burns Night guest was unable to be with us this year.
Full of gristle horrible
This used to be nice now its like chewing rubber and hard fat
Okay if you like spicy (hot) food
Ingredients include black pepper which is not needed in haggis. Didn't enjoy the taste, too hot for me. Ate some of it and threw the rest in the food waste bin. Will go back to MacSweeny's haggis.
Very disappointing. Full of gristle.
Very disappointed. We love Howie's black pudding so were looking forward to their haggis. I won't be buying it again. Every mouthful had an inedible piece of gristle in it. It was awful. This haggis is not a patch on MacSweens. Please bring that one back.
Standard has gone down
The last two of these we've used have had several hard bits of gristle, which is most unpleasant, won't be buying again.
