Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"Soft pastry with some good fruit flavour once inside"
"Nice filling but a bit hollow."
"Supermarket quality range. Quite a bit of care to make it look good, and overall pretty decent." "Nice fruity filling with cherries. It would have been nice to have filled the space with a bit more filling."
"Smelt great but felt a bit let down when the pastry wasn’t crisp - Mr Kiplings?"
"Looked good - but the taste wasn't quite up to it.  Tesco perhaps?"
"Nice rich fruity filling but pastry not very tasty."
