QUOTE (Strafin @ Sep 22 2013, 03:35 PM) The West Cornwall Pasty Co charge about £4 in town, and they're not that great. Parsons, further down the street, does them for £1.50 at lunch time at the present and they are good!

Must try them sometime, although I don't know the shop (where is it?). I hope they don't call them Cornish Pasties, though, since a Cornish Pasty can only be made in Cornwall I've come across "pasties" made with flaky pastry, not to mention minced beef: sacrilege!

Quite a small shop, you can miss it!

Odd that I haven't come across it. QUOTE (Biker1 @ Sep 23 2013, 10:32 AM) What, you mean like a "Ginsters"? Yuk!! Agreed. Ginsters can legally call their pasties Cornish, but I for one wouldn't eat them.

QUOTE (Gumbo @ Sep 23 2013, 11:59 AM) I thought parking was free? well it was where we parked (went up to Hermitage along the B4009 and followed sign posts to park). So did I & lot's of others, all it takes is a bit of forward planning . As for the complaints about Rip off Food Prices, it never ceases to amaze me, doesn't anyone realise Horse Burgers are around £4 wherever you go to these days. Simple answer really & its not that difficult, spend about 15 minutes the evening before & make a few sarnies, pack a slice of cake a bottle of pop & save a fortune !!

QUOTE (newres @ Sep 23 2013, 03:26 PM) The West Cornwall pasties are pretty good I think. As close as we get here to a pasty from Cornwall. A touch over salted at times though. I steer clear of all but the traditional filling. The ones from Parsons are vile. They are cheap for the same reason that Greggs pasties and pies are cheap - filled with slurry. The West Cornwall ones are filled with beef chunks and whole pieces of veg. I like 'em, though I doubt I eat more than two a year. Thanks for the warning about Parsons. I shall avoid them in that case. Nothing worse than a "pasty" filled with mince. You get what you pay for. Probably made with flaky, rather than short, pastry as well - a dead give-away.

QUOTE (Strafin @ Sep 24 2013, 12:22 PM) I run the cafe at Newbury Station and I was going to keep quiet, but our pasties are excellent, anyone coming through from this forum can have 20% off as well (off everything, I'll give you a discount card), but we're hard to get too if you're not travelling on the train. You could take telephone orders, then deliver to the ticket office!!!
