Tregroes Toffee Waffles Review |
Having enjoyed a recent walk around the market on a rainy sunday, what better way to end the day out with a toffee waffle toppped cup of tea! encouraged by your review we bought a packet and some tremendous tea in an all purpose tin, campbells variety for those that are interested. we liked them so much we visited the website (2 pages!) and placed an order for the multi pack 34 waffles for the bargain price of £10. We can't wait to try the milk chocolate variety in particular. Thanks for the tip! Note: don't leave too long on top of mug, can fall in and create all kinds of problems.

Nicey replies: Hoorah, for you both.
We took the younger members of staff on their promised field trip, and had a lovely picnic of ham sandwiches, bananas and Mini Jaffa Rolls whilst watching some people pull of conifer stumps with a tractor. Surprisingly we were the only people having a picnic in the drizzle. Then it was home for a big pot of tea. |

Tregroes Toffee Waffles Review |
Dear Nicey,
During a recent trip to Amsterdam with the wife and junior member of staff, I brought you back a box of siroopwaffalen to review. Unfortunately due to the combined effects of said junior member of staff standing on my suitcase and the volcanic heat that is emitted from London Underground's heaters, the waffles were irreparably damaged.
Ashamed by my carelessness and inadequate packing, I throw the waffles to the back of the biscuit cupboard. However, after reading your excellent review of the 'inferior' Tregroes Toffee Waffles, I tried microwaving my Dutch waffles and eating them with vanilla ice cream. Oh joy of joys! Thank you for your wonderful tip. My taste buds haven't stopped thanking me for the last two weeks. Junior member of staff has even tried them with custard but I find this makes the waffle too squidgey and all together too unstable.
Thank you for your fantastic website and keep up the excellent work.
Yours
Patrick, Ealing |
Nicey replies: I had a similar problem on a WAGN train with a Tunnock's wafer a couple of weeks ago.

Tregroes Toffee Waffles Review |
Hi Nicey,
At my place of work we try to get Biscuit of the Week in wherever possible, so last week an order for Tregroes Toffee Waffles duly arrived and were greatly enjoyed. The chocolate ones being so large, rich and luxuriant that even I, possibly the most dedicated biscuiteer of the office, could only manage one.
Anyway my reason for writing is to let fellow waffle fans know that as well as Pret a Manger, Starbucks also sell caramel waffles, in packs of two. And the Starbucks ones are supplied by Tregroes! This nugget of information was included in my despatch note from Tregroes and I thought it well worthy of sharing.
Cheers,
Kathy Sadler |

Tregroes Toffee Waffles Review |
Having worked for the London branch of a Dutch bank for many years, I became addicted to 'siroopwaffalen' (I believe thy're called) on my business trips to Amsterdam.
Recently, I found that the London Wall branch of the sandwich bar Pret a Manger has started to stock the Syrup waffles, albeit at an extortionate price.
However, when you have the uncontrollable desire for a toffee waffle (placed over the top of your cup of tea for a few minutes, to warm and slightly melt to toffee filling), then any price is worth paying.

Living only 15 miles from Llandysul we're haunted by these waffles (in the nicest possibly way because they are delicious) we can even get them in Spar and SMALL local newsagents and even in the canteen in college.
When I was in Llandysul Secondary school one of my friends in my year was the daughter of the person who owned the waffle factory (which meant lots of free waffles :-> ) Being from Holland they even once translated a letter for us that we got sent from the Police out there after my bike was stolen.
I didnt think that these marvelous waffles had even made it past the welsh border let alone be for sale in some of the expensive shops in london. Anyways. I just thought i would mention my encounter with these waffles and the people who own the factory.
