Absolutely rank
Not a pie…more like soup!
Sighs…absolutely disgusting! Did not live up to expectations unfortunately. Really couldn’t distinguish, what was what too be honest, just a plate of gloop with a thin piece of pastry! And it tasted so strange…my poor son spat his out!
Mushy
Horrible - mushy
New and Improved! Will buy again.
Have they improved it since these bad reviews? Because when I had it, it was not sloppy but had good combination between filling and sauce. It's a nice pie. Had good cheesy flavour but not too rich. One child loves it, other not keen. I am a vegetarian and actually like the other vegetarian / vegan Frey Bentos pies even more, but I see Tesco are only selling this one currently.
Ghastly!
I loved the Fray Bentos vegan 'steak and kidney ' and vegetarian balti pies that Tesco have just stopped selling but this pie is just a horrible greasy liquid under the pastry lid. I won't be trying this again!
Awful
Absolutely awful. Lacks texture and taste. Pure slop beneath a slimy pastry
All sauce, no filling. Avoid.

Awful
I used to love the Vegan Fray Bentos pie but sadly it's been discontinued so I tried two of these , usually I'm not fussy but I really disliked this , it looked & tasted awful I have to say , very unlike Fray Bentos to produce such a poor tasting pie - please bring back that Vegan one !
Better if it had a ring pull lid.
Nice cheese and onion pie, would have got 5 stars except the only complaint I have is the lid is not easy to open especially as I'm elderly and it can be quite sharp. would be much better with a ring pull lid.
Needs Pimping
As it is the pie filling is totally bland with only 5% cheese and 8% onion. To make it edible a little work is required, whip off the pastry lid and add grated matured Red Leicester and extra mature Cheddar together with some chopped par boiled potato and onion then add extra seasoning, salt, onion salt and white pepper, mix the base together and replace the pastry lid. Bake for around 35 minutes at 180c fan. (PS if you want to bake it in the tin don't add too much extra). The result should be a perfectly acceptable cheese and onion pie. Baxters need to seriously review their existing recipe as having to pimp the pie to make it edible kind of defeats the object of buying a ready made pie.
