    We've been a Heinz house forever, until we tried some Branston a few months ago after reading a thread here, and they were far nicer. In fact when last month we went back to Heinz on the back of a good offer, we all regretted it - harder beans, thinner sauce, more like a value brand than Heinz, so we're back with Branston again.

    Think I'll stick some on my Mr T order next week if the offer's still going - can't help to keep a stock.

    My teens love beans - so I will be stocking up.
  • I got some in Asda the other day - 2 four packs for £2. I think Branston are sooooo much nicer than any other brand too, although I am a bit addicted to the Heinz somkey BBQ beans at the moment!

    tip for watery sauce, add a squirt of tomato puree, oh, and to jazz things up a bit, some tabasco or Worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins), yummy.

  • I love Branston beans too.I always liked HP beans but now they are yuck and I bought some Heinz, on offer,never again they were really sweet and didn't have the flavour I remember.I hope my Tesco's has Branston's on offer.Thanks op

    We used to love the Heinz ones with maple syrup - but that was in Canada, haven't seen those ones here yet.....but now I only buy Branston's - don't eat them often, but have stocked up on the deal.
