Philp’s Bakery

definately my favourite pasties around. cannot come to Cornwall without trying one.

If you are visiting Cornwall on holiday, then you will certainly come across the local dish, the pasty. Full of meat (skirt beef), onion, potatoes, turnip, and all covered in flaky pastry. Philps Bakery in Hayle are among the best pasties in the county. Their peppery taste make then wonderful, and although there are several varieties to choose from, I would recommend the standard mince. Don’t be fooled by the word steak on the other choices, the meat is good, but I feel the pasty as a whole is not as good. And don’t go for the medium or large, unless you haven’t eaten for 3 days. They are massive. The standard mince is what Cornish pasties should be like, and before going home, I would recommend trying one from Philps, you will not be disappointed.
