We have loved McCains roast potatoes for a good few years but suddenly they have hard putty like pieces in them, they are hard and un eatable, not buying them any more. Tescos are more reliable. Hopef... See more

Went to mccains own site looking to buy directly as amazon are selling a 2kg bag for £20. Not a chance. You have to request the prices for every item and cannot just buy something. Youd think I was trying to buy the golden chalice itself. You sell frozen potato's please just put prices on your products its nit at all hard. Online shopping should be easy, not a maze made by harry Potter with paranoid schizophrenia :/ just bloody hard.

I can't believe how bad my pizza was I purchased a Hawaiian pizza expecting a good amount of filling put on top!! when I opened it I only found 4 tiny slithers of pineapple on the whole pizza this is disgusting!! I'm going to let my friends know not to buy any McCain pizzas because I can buy one fresh from Domino's Pizza for half the price with 3 times the filling you place on your pizzas I'm just totally disgusted it was also tasteless no flavor what so ever we ate half of it and binned the other half I'm highly disappointed.

NO stars preferred.
Frozen Chips.
Scrag ends. 1.6kg crinkle cut oven chips .
Tasteless potato taste powdery.
BUT worst of ALL vast majority in bag are TOTALLY inedible.
End up discarding anywhere from 10 to 25 alleged chips as just SCRAG ENDS.
HOW DO THESE PASS QC?? OBVIOUSLY THEY DO NOT.
THIS is a recurring problem. Thoroughly fed up with being shafted paying good money for rubbish.
WHAT has happened to McCain's???

If I could give a minus 10 I would.
Bought a Rustica artisan pizza yesterday, made by McCain. Didn't see the McCain name or I wouldn't have touched it with a barge pole, I hate their products.
Well, I wasn't disappointed, this pizza is absolutely vile. I ate a 1/4 of it, because I was starving and threw the remains to the birds
Don't waste your money on this ridiculously small, ugly tasting pizza.
How this company keeps going is beyond me, it's just bloody awful
Ah McCain you've stuffed up again
I bought the air fryer french fries for my granddaughter instead of the regular McCain french fries and they are rotten! The regular french fries done in the air fryer are decent. That’s a bag and a half gone in the bin! Never again 🤬
Beef Lasagne meal had next to no beef. The picture on the box was very misleading. Didn’t eat after trying and threw it out.
I've found there frozen chips disgusting to many bad potatoes and not the best taste yuck.
These are supposed to be steak-cut chips... the bag was full of bits and things that looked more like French fries. They call these scraps at the chip shops where I come from! Green mould and black chips. Have written with photos but no response. Won't buy again.
I would rate these none if I could and how these chips can be sold off is a disgrace. Manky mcains I call them, black as anything all look gross and like moldy chips. Wtf you guys do skate around the factory on potatoes then sell it to us or something 🤷♂️ what waste I avoid them.
I entered the superman promotion. Bought 2 bags of chips, both had a winning coles voucher so i entered twice using 2 different email addresses. They wouldn't honour either entry.
Total rip off.
Will not be buying McCain products again.
The pizza pocket of pepperoni was terrible no thing except tomato paste. Disgusting really
Mccain simply mash has to be hands down the worst thing I've ever used in catering for mashed potato. Starchy gloopy horrible stuff!!
0 stars not possible. That the product they sell is allowed on a market as Europe isn’t normal. Disgusting taste and has nothing to do with the normal taste of food. Ban this American poison in europe
Purchased pizza slices with pineapple. Disgraceful that they would expect us to eat this let alone pay for it. Absolutely tasteless rubbish.
Tastes of nothing- even the fat which oozes from them is almost tasteless
These fries were easy to prepare and were surprisingly good
Use to love McCains pizzas but opened one today and pretty much no topping on it. Will be going back to Aldi brand that is half the price but double the topping! Would include a photo but doesn't sense to be anywhere to add one.
I don't know what Mc Cain have done to their oven chips but they are really awful now. Used to be my favourite oven chip but wont be buying anymore.
Wow I'm totally disappointed McCains have stopped making Fries 2go. What am i going to do my sons only eats these Fries 2go... why have you stopped producing these Fries2go!!!! I purchase over 200 triple packs every two weeks.
