What bread lovers say about us

Loved by you, baked by us. Hear how Hovis® has made its mark in many homes

Ideal for sandwich etc, without getting soggy easy to spread butter on, but not straight out of fridge. Taste is good flavoursome. Stays fresh.

A sandwich made with Hovis best of both loaf, tomatoes, ham, lettuce and butter sits on a plate in a kitchen

I was very disappointed when Tesco stopped stocking this loaf. Glad to see it back. It’s great for sandwiches, toast and toasted sandwiches. The fact that it’s is both white and wholemeal flours makes it better to eat. Great taste too.

A sandwich cute in half sits on a plate, it contains chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and pineapple jam.

This is absolutely my young daughter's favourite bread for sandwiches and toast. Nice and soft. Keeps very well.

This bread is very very tasty and loved by my family. Full of protein, filling and toasts brilliantly - soaks up butter well.

A layered sandwich made with Hovis White 'n' Fibre bread takes centre stage. The sandwich is filled with golden-brown fish fingers, green peas, pink pickled onions, and a creamy white sauce, with some green leaves peeking out. To the left, a small bowl of green peas and a dish of white sauce are visible. In the bottom left corner, large green text reads "50% MORE FIBRE" with smaller text below saying "THAN OTHER WHITE BREAD". A bright green circle with "NEW!" in white text overlaps the top left of the sandwich. At the top, the Hovis logo is present, with "White 'n' Fibre" written in a flowing green script above images of wheat. The background is a soft, light brown, suggesting a natural or wholesome feel.
A vibrant outdoor shot featuring a pack of Hovis Protein Sub Rolls. The green and white plastic packaging for "Hovis Protein 2 Protein Buttermilk Sub Rolls" is prominently displayed on a red and white checkered cloth, which rests on a wooden surface. A "NEW" sticker and a blue label indicating "12g PROTEIN PER ROLL" are visible on the packaging. The background is a soft-focus green, suggesting leafy trees or foliage, with sunlight dappling through. Below the wooden surface, bright green grass fills the bottom quarter of the image. Large white text with a green leafy icon above it reads "HOVIS PROTEIN". At the very bottom, "DID YOU Know?" is written in large white and yellow text.

A behind-the-scenes vertical shot showing a film set against a brick wall. A long boom microphone with a fluffy windsock extends upwards in the centre, held by hands at the bottom. Large white text overlays the image, reading "HOVIS" at the top with a small "SINCE 1886" and a baker on a bicycle logo, followed by "BEHIND THE SCENES" below. The brick wall behind has a bold yellow stripe painted across it. Part of a camera rig with a black curly-haired person behind it is visible in the bottom right corner.
A wide outdoor shot of four people sitting on picnic blankets on a sunny green lawn in a park. They are arranged around a spread of picnic food and drinks. One person is wearing a light-coloured jacket, another a dark top and checked skirt, a third a brown top and sunglasses, and the fourth a dark top. Trees line the background, and other park-goers are visible in the distance, some walking and one running. The overall scene suggests a relaxed social gathering on a pleasant day.
A vibrant top-down shot of a picnic spread on green grass, featuring a "WIN!!" text overlay in the top left. The picnic includes two large bags of Hovis sub rolls, two yellow cartons of The Happy Egg Co. eggs, and a picnic basket. A wooden bowl holds several filled sub rolls, likely egg salad sandwiches, while another plate has a partially eaten sub and wavy crisps. Other food items visible are a bowl of fresh strawberries, a platter of sliced cured meats, and a small dish of jam or chutney. Two glasses of orange juice, with a bottle in the background, complete the sunny outdoor scene.

They are positioned in front of a window on a brick building, with another person partially visible to the right. The foreground is blurred with the shoulders of someone in a blue jacket and dark clothing. The brick building and a white archway above the window are visible in the background.
A vertical close-up shot shows a person's hands in a white knitted jumper, holding a knife and cutting a sandwich on a wooden chopping board. The sandwich is made with wholemeal bread and filled with lettuce, sliced tomatoes, what appears to be cooked chicken or turkey, and a white sauce. In the background, a white butter dish with a heart-shaped knob and some scattered green leaves and a piece of red fruit are visible on a light-coloured countertop. The person has rings on both hands.
