Rock Bakery
Very homemade
Crisp, delicious
Nice and peppery
The original and still the best

West Cornwall Pasty company (in Dorking)
not bad - had been in the cabinet waiting for me a little too long
the best i've tasted - err outside cornwall
as it should be - lots of it, very nice
are these really from da'wall, or cooked on site
8 ˝
Heligan restaurant
large and glossy
not too thick, held together well
lots of meat and rough-shaped veg.
a good day out is a step away from this beauty

Truro Market
Big and well prepared
Nice, tasty and shiny
Swede included here, peppery
Always available, reasonable – a good ‘Rock-replacement’

Fowey delicatessen
very well prepared, good attention to detail
large lumps at the ends, nice taste
small cubes - mass produced
pricey but tasty - if money's not a problem - Fowey and this pasty are for you.

Bakery at Trago Mills
Flat style – crimping to one edge
Too much pastry
Good balance of meat and veg.
A good ‘all-rounder’

Redruth Bakery from Dobwalls Esso
Absolutely huge – really heavy
Nice and crisp
Bad distribution of meat
Got to be really hungry for this one

Bakery in Liskeard
Large for a medium
A bit too ‘short’
Quite meaty
Not the best but certainly not a Ginsters

Ginsters
Someone’s told them this is what a pasty looks like
Flabby
Gooey
A poor imitation – don’t waste your money
