Far too intense, sickly sweet  and tricky to eat. It was also impossible to taste the dough for all the saccharine additions.

A bit pricey but worth it. There's no scrimping on the icing and they're topped off with lots of sugar strands.

5/5

Made from the butter-enriched dough used in Yum Yums, the flavour is much more patisserie-like, with loads of light, indulgent layers. Very decadent but tasty.

3/5

Traditional style sugar-coated jammy doughnuts that deliver all the flavour you’d expect at a super price. Fluffy, light and soft.

Jam doughnuts, 90p for pack of five

4/5

Despite looking plain, the traditional-style ring doughnut was extremely generous – plump and bouncy with a lovely texture, and bigger than your average supermarket offering.

Very sweet and with a party-like feel. The dough wasn’t bad either, not the fluffiest but with a nice chewy texture.

3/5

One of the best value I tried. The dough itself was a bit disappointing though, rather pale and slightly underbaked.
