Robert's Dorset Reviews 

Quality product delivered safely and in good time

Excellent fast delivery, love the taste and quality highly recommend.

Great pork scratchings, fresh, the best I've tried.

1st met the guys on their stall at Winchester Xmas Market where we purchased pork scratchings and never looked back....will continue to buy online
Thank you.

I had an good experience with Robert Dyas — the ordering process was smooth, and the products were exactly as described.

A secret Santa gift for my colleague. Good variety of flavours and sizes of products. Colleague was very happy.

Good product. Delivery only needed a photo and I was out, but it was dark and I wasn’t out long.

I found this company in the summervat the Lymington food festival. Really impressed with the scratching so ive ordered again for Christmas.

Great customer service and an easy use website for ordering

Easy order and a great quality product.
Well packed for delivery anda quick delivery.

Sorry to say but!!! I am staying at Camelot Castle Hotel. During the evening of my stay on the first day i bought a tub of these snacks. Disgusting! They taste like they were kept in a room that was just painted, they literally taste like gloss paint. I have complained, bar staff opologised but at the end of the day, its not their fault, the tub was sealed. I will never again purchase anything from Roberts. Even my other half refused to eat them after the first bite

Having spoken to Roberts of Dorset it was determined that the scratchings i had were either left in a room that had recently been painted or stored in a room with paint. Must admit i didnt realise that the paint fumes could penetrate the plastic tub (makes sence really)
I have since had (courtesy of Roberts Dorset) a couple of tubs of the said scratchings and they are perfect, tasty, crunchy, full of flavour, moorish, unfortunately i cant eat just one or two, i have to eat the lot ! Definately worth five stars. Just a pity i happen to get the tainted tub ???
My other half has just said
"The best pork scratchings she has ever had" great flavour, brittle but not that hard that they break your teeth"
I think that says it all.

Great service and they are to go into a Christmas hamper

Been using Roberts Dorest for years. Won't use anyone else for pork scratchings.

Robert’s Dorset pork crackling is on another level. The quality of their products is simply outstanding — you can taste the difference straight away compared to anything mass-produced or overly processed. Each bite is packed with flavour and crunch, and it’s clear that real care and skill goes into making them. Honestly, they’re so good that I end up buying more than I should and can’t stop myself from overindulging. This is proper British snacking at its best, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Robert’s Dorset to anyone who appreciates authentic, high-quality food.”

Bought a tub of chorizo flavour pork scratchings from a local deli. They were awful: really rancid. So, I informed Robert's and, after a bit of a delay, replacements were posted to me, which were really delicious.
So, great product and great after sales service.
If you get a rogue batch, let them know.

Well I'm not sure what's going on, the product arrived fine and they got the flavours right. We have had online orders from them a number of times before and bought from a local stockist. But the crackling was all totally different this time - just the skin, no rendered tasty fatty later under skin, like normal scratchings and what we have always received from Robert's Dorset before. Now they are REALLY hard, tooth shatteringly so and really dry and the flavour isn't quite right. So not a pleasure to eat at all. Sadly, if this is now the product on offer we will have to go elsewhere. Which is doublely annoying as most other companies put a load of crap into their pork rinds/scratchings/crackling which is why we liked Robert's Dorset so much. So is this how it ends?

Edit - It's not how it ends! Roberts Dorset kindly sent out a new batch, free of charge, and they were the proper yummy pork scratchings we have come to love. Thank you so much for that, we will be ordering again soon.

I contacted Robert Dorset regarding my recent order of pork crackling, and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The crackling I received was extremely vinegary – nothing like before. They used to have a nice crispy piece of meat attached, but this time it was just hard, tough skin soaked in vinegar.

I waited a long time for my order, which I understood, because they replied saying they had some supply issues. They even promised me a 50% refund, but I never received it. I could have let that go, but when I told them about the awful taste – honestly, I had to throw everything in the bin – I didn’t even get a reply.

It’s such a shame, because I really used to love their pork crackling, and I understand that sometimes a batch might not turn out perfect. I’d actually love to give them another chance, but now I’m afraid it will be the same again.
