We had a loaf of Kingsmill Everyday Bread a few weeks ago, as we got it on offer from Tesco. It normally retails at £1.14 for a 800g loaf, but we had a 50p off coupon from the previous week's shopping. So we decided that for 64p this loaf had to be worth a go. Two sandwiches later, I realised that I'd have rather paid £5 and got a loaf of my normal Hovis Best of Both. What really amazed me about this bread was that it actually smells of bleach. I mean, I've heard that they do use a bit of bleach in the bread making process, but up until now I wondered if that was actually just an urban legend. Now I'm pretty sure it's not. The texture of this ...  Read the complete review

One of my favourite pastimes, is sitting down with warm bread and butter, and eating kingsmill everyday bread reminds me of that feeling (even though its not warm when i eat it) Kind of like in Pixars Ratatouille and Antono EGo, the critic's reaction when he eats Remy's ratatouille bringing him back to his childhood. Anyhow onto the bread, you can never beat the taste of home cooked/freshly baked bread but, to me, this comes close, its soft, has a good rich taste to it that tends to stay until it goes mouldy. Speaking of which happens far too quickly in my home, we haver the heating on around 19-21 most of the time but bread if it doesn't get eaten will go ...  Read the complete review

Over the years I have tried many different brands of bread. Last year, when I was trying to save some money, I even went as far as trying Tesco's value bread, but never again. Time and time again I always return to Kingsmill. I do like their '50/50' loaf, but my main favourite is the 'great everyday' one. The only other brand of loaf, as good as Kingsmill is Warburtons, which I do buy when on special offer. I will review that another day. Kingsmill great everyday, is a delicious, white loaf aimed at the family market. It really is a lovely loaf, which always tastes fresh, even after it's been frozen. In all the years I have bought it, I have only ever had a ...  Read the complete review

I bought this bread the other day on offer from Iceland (2 for £1.50). I think it normally retails for about £1.25 though. I normally don't buy this bread because I have a tight budget but I thought this offer was pretty good. The bread is actually much better than the cheaper versions I have bought previously, with it being fluffy and moreish, great for toast, bread and butter, and sandwiches, and cheese on toast... I am really impressed by this bread I have already had to try it in all its different forms to appreciate the glory! Each slice is about 1cm thick and it makes really good toast because the edges go crispy but the middle stays soft ...  Read the complete review

My bread buying habits are non-consistent, and in general, I don't stick to a specific brand. I do have one rule however, and that is to avoid the really cheap and nasty value stuff. I once took some old Tesco Value Bread to the duck pond, and whilst some of the birds cautiously ate, a selection of older and presumably wiser swans turned their noses (or should I say beaks?) up at my offering - and fair enough. Whilst in the shop last week, I decided to give Kingsmill's 'Everyday Bread' a go, as it was less expensive than the Hovis brand, and i've always had good experiences with Kingsmill in the past.
