Lousy contact information.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Good morning,

I contacted you some time ago, and you indicated that the disappearance of your 'gluten free' pasty would be temporary. So where is it?

If it's coming back, less 'crust,' please. Also, for your information, many people who are gluten intolerant are also lactose intolerant as well.

Regards,

Ian Gibson.

Cons:
  • It seems they do not want to be contacted

Preferred solution: Explanation.

User's recommendation: Avoid Ginsters products.

Ginsters Cornish Pasty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Bought two Tesco pasties in Enniskillen.
  • - Meat had grisly pieces and little filling; potatoes and swede were tiny.
  • - Ginsters were good quality.

Purchased 2 pasties from my local Tesco's Enniskillen,

Found meat had grisly pieces, hardly any filling Potato and Swede were cut into thin minute squares, smaller than a postage stamp. Ginsters were good quality, obviously cutting back with cheaper ingredients and size of pasty, and increase the price

Preferred solution: Just make Ginsters the Company aware of the problem

User's recommendation: Do not recommend to purchase

  • - They asked for the date and batch information.
  • - I didn't have that information.

They said they only use the best ingredients , and they will look into it then asked for information about the date and batch of product which of course I don't have blah blah blah so just a duck and dive which is why they use folks like you of course . Thanks any way .

Pissed of with yr products I hav now tried all Ginsters pasty’s and am beginning to wonder if there’s a shortage of meat in Cornwall? Nothing wrong with the pastry, but I can’t comment on the meat con

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Advises not to buy Ginsters products.
  • - Has read complaints and feels they are ignored.
  • - Mentions A30 and M5 as best from Cornwall.

I have read other complaints and it seems you don't take heed of them. My advice is, don't buy Ginsters products and I will keep watching for your reply but don't hold too much hope.

The best things that ever came out of Cornwall were the A30 and M5. Kind regards, Dave 611.

Preferred solution: I don’t want anything not even a free pasti ps good year for potatoes just just get yr house in order and give value for money,AND MEAT

AI Highlights
  • - Two sausage rolls and pasties bought at a service station on our trip to West Sussex.
  • - They were the worst we’ve had; I have a delicate stomach.
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

We purchased two of the sausage rolls on our journey to West Sussex today from the service station.

Both in date of best before.

I am sorry to say that these were the worse we have ever had and unlikely to purchase again along with the pasties also have been disappointing .

I just needed to contact you as I have a delicate stomach and now I have a problem.

User's recommendation: Forget it if you want something nice ukkkk
