“I first saw Bold butterbeans in Waitrose ages ago. I also have had the chickpeas and Carlin peas. It’s the Queen butterbeans I’m obsessed with and can’t leave alone!!!!”
We love this energy! Queen Butterbeans really do have that hold on people! So glad you spotted us in Waitrose and have explored the range. But yes… once you’ve had the Queen Bs, there’s just no going back. Thanks for being totally obsessed.
“I love all Bold beans, but now you have started with the baked beans, the flavour is awesome. Also, my cupboard is filled with storage for my dry goods in the reused jars which are such good sizes, both the large and the small ones,”
This is such a joy to read – thank you! We’re buzzing that you’re loving the new baked beans (they’ve been a labour of love!) and it’s amazing to hear our jars are living a second life in your kitchen. We designed them to be beautiful AND useful, so hearing they’re your go-to for storage is the dream. Thanks for being such a big part of the Bold Bean fam!
“Bought as a gift item for a relative that swore blind they were the best she’d tasted and so got her a 6pack of her fav flavour Smokey chili and for good measure I bought a jar of the tomato beans whilst in Waitrose and she is right they are delicious..so definitely recommend them for a lovely breakfast or afternoon snack.!”
What an amazing gift – your relative clearly has great taste! We're so happy to hear you tried them too. So glad you think the Smoky Chilli and Rich Tomato beans are flavour bombs – perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cheeky afternoon snack. Thanks so much for spreading the bean love and recommending us!
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback Robyn! We're so glad you're enjoying the flavours and the jars – we put a lot of love into both. Totally hear you on the price. Our goal is always to bring the best possible quality, which means we're a little more than tins, but we’re thrilled you think it’s worth it. Thanks for choosing our beans and for this review.
“Love this range. They are truly the most delightful beans EVER. Far superior in taste and texture than any others I have tried. Wasn't the biggest fan of these types of beans before. Now a total convert. Make at least 3 meals from BB recipes per week. Yum 😋”
This absolutely made our day! We’re so thrilled you’re a total convert – that’s the highest praise we could hope for. It means the world to hear you’re cooking up our recipes too. Thanks for being part of the bean revolution!
Lindsey! This is so lovely to hear. So glad you're loving the beans (and the stock!). We love the liquid gold. Huge thanks for your support - here’s to many more delicious bean-filled meals!

“Having heard about your company on Davina McCall’s podcast, I was thrilled that my delivery arrived so promptly. I ordered the 3 x baked beans and they are DELICIOUS! Even my husband who isn’t a massive bean fan devoured them. I will absolutely be buying more, and might try a few other recipes you have also.”
Thank you so much for your lovely message Joanna – we’re absolutely thrilled to hear you discovered us through Davina’s podcast and that your order arrived promptly! Even more importantly, we're so glad you and your husband enjoyed the baked beans – that's high praise if he’s not usually a bean fan! We can’t wait for you to try more of our recipes.
“Read an article in a newspaper magazine about bold beans so, when asked what my husband & I wanted for Christmas we asked for a sample pack of beans...have enjoyed them ever since. As we mainly eat vegetarian meals their superior taste, lack of metallic/soapy taste that comes with tinned beans have meant they're a great hit. Deliveries are always prompt & efficient.”
Thank you so much for sharing this Ruth – we absolutely love that Bold Beans were on your Christmas wishlist! You're a true bean champ. It means the world to hear they've become a staple in your vegetarian meals, and that you’re noticing the difference in taste and quality – no metallic or soapy flavours here! So glad the deliveries have been smooth too. Thanks again for the support – it really does mean everything to us!
“Saw Dragons Den and thought pitch was brilliant and getting Deborah on board was really good . Have bought a selection of beans both on line and from Waitrose plus recipe book and already have some favourites”
That’s amazing to hear Sue! Thanks so much for the support – we’re so glad you loved the pitch and are already diving into the world of Bold Beans. Hope you’re enjoying the recipe book too! Any favourites so far?
“Quality super tasty beans and amazing recipes on the website. Loved the black bean and fennel salad. Black bean pie is the ultimate comfort food. Queen butter beans are the creamiest I've ever tasted.”
That’s fantastic to hear Karen! The Black Bean & Fennel Salad is a great choice, and the black bean pie really is the ultimate comfort food. So glad you're loving the Queen Butter Beans – they’re on another level when it comes to creaminess. Thanks so much for your support, and hope you enjoy trying even more recipes!
“As a vegetarian I knew I needed to eat more legumes for protein intake but the canned varieties in the supermarket tended to be a. It hard to digest, and what to do with them? Your beans and fantastic recipes have been transformative- thank you!”
That’s amazing to hear Grace! We totally get it - supermarket beans can sometimes be a bit lackluster, both in texture and inspiration. That’s exactly WHY we do what we do. So glad our beans and recipes have made a difference for you. Hope you keep discovering new staple recipes!
“Best beans ever! Super friendly service and look at the ingredients: the most astonishing detail for me, there is no nonsense in them! And yet sooooooo tasty. Thank you ❤️”
That means so much Kai - thank you! We’re all about keeping it simple with the best ingredients and letting the beans shine. So glad you’re loving them and really appreciate your support!
“I ordered the 5 pack following a recommendation. The chickpeas are the best I’ve ever tasted, they were that good I sat and ate them straight from the jar. Best beans ever 🙌”
Amazing! That’s exactly what we love to hear Rob. Our chickpeas are truly special - so creamy and full of flavour, they barely need anything else. Straight from the jar is definitely the way to go! Thanks for giving them a try, and hope you enjoy the rest of your pack.
So glad you're enjoying them Elizabeth! We love to hear you're a fan of the glass jars. Great for re-using too.it LOVE to hear you're a chilli baked bean fan. They are such a good balance of heat and richness. Thanks so much for the support!
Thanks so much Caroline – we're really glad you're enjoying the beans! We’re on a mission to make people obsessed with beans by giving them the BEST of beans. That means making beans to suit everyone and every need – so having Organic options in our range is really important to us for those who shop and eat Organic. But at the same time, we’re super proud of our Queen beans – they’re big, extra creamy, and totally delicious. We see it as a win-win! As we continue to grow our range, we’ll absolutely consider whether new products should be Organic, Queen… or both! Ultimately, it all comes down to the quality of the bean – the most important thing for us is making the highest quality, most delicious beans out there to fuel full-blown bean obsession. Hope that helps – and thanks again for the support!
Thank you so much – that’s exactly what we love to hear! We put a lot of care into sourcing and preparing our beans to make sure they’re a serious upgrade from the usual canned stuff – so we’re so glad you can taste the difference. Can’t wait for you to try more of the range! Thanks again for the kind words – they mean a lot!
“Discovering the Bold Bean Company has been inspirational! The Blood orange and Fennel salad has been repeated several times and been ‘exported’ to friends and family. Availability could be better but I have just got the recipe book so I’m keen to keep going.”
Thank you so much Richard – we’re thrilled to hear Bold Bean has been an inspiration! So glad you’re loving the Blood Orange & Fennel salad (and spreading the bean love to friends!). We know availability can be tricky and we’re working on it – but so excited you’ve got the recipe book to keep you churning out the bean recipes. Thanks again for your support!
