Tucked away in a corner of an industrial park this bakery serves up an assortment pastries,cornish pasty, sausage rolls and Scotch eggs that are simply mouthwatering. The cornish pasty has a crunch, is filled with a delicious mix of potatoes and minced meat that captures the true essence of Cornish flavours. Each bite of the Cornish pasty offers a harmony of flavours combining the taste of diced potatoes with savory minced beef. The tender potatoes soak up all the goodness from the beef essence and it softens and melts in your mouth. It's a treat that warms your soul with every bite. The homemade sausage roll is bursting with flavours, it's a blended mixture of meat and herbs that create an aromatic profile without being too salty. The blended sausage mix has a firm bite, bounces back when chewed creating a delightful feel unlike other mixes which falls flat. The expertly crafted Scotch egg, featuring an egg which has soft boiled yolk nestled inside sausage filling for an indulgent twist, on this classic favourite.The Scotch egg is fried with breadcrumbs until crispy, on the outside. The runny yolk adds a moist and tender texture, to the Scotch egg. In general all three pastries were quite impressive even outdoing the ones found in most bakery outlets. They are definitely...
Read moreOhhhh my! The scotch egg I had was really something special, with a jammy gooey middle. The pasty was lovely, although little disappointed that the blue cheese was all in one end and the meat was rolled into the crimp......it gave the impression of being a bit sloppily made! But the taste was all there.
The pie though.....absolutely nope. Was so gutted. The chicken and leek seemed to have no leek, but a load of potato. I would expect that in a pie at all. The sauce had all but dried out. Wouldn't recommend the pies at all.
The service (as I note that there are some comments regarding this on tripadvisor) well, the lady seemed to be in a bit of a flap, and the guy was about as nonchalant as was possible. I think they could be a little warmer and engaging, but that said, I went for pastry goods, not to be charmed haha! Just a heads up if they read this that it does make a bit of a difference to be greeted with a smile...
Read moreIf my experience was typical then this was a fantastically fortuitous find (see what I did there?).
Had half-an-hour to kill at Liskeard station and chanced upon Original Cornish Pasties. Having rather tediously gone on at some length to the proprietor about how I wouldn't eat any black pudding other than Stornoway I persuaded myself to have a black pudding Scotch egg.
What an experience! It contained a mixture of pork meat and bp and tasted divine. It had an unusual but very tasty crust and the egg had a soft yolk!
Wonderful. I shall return. I shall eat pasties. I shall eat sausage rolls and MORE Scotch...
