Philp's Bakery - Hayle

I really enjoyed the pasties I ordered—both the vegan and veggie options (the veggie one had a bit of cheese). There was a long line when we visited, which just goes to show how good they are. The portions were larger than we expected, so the next day I had some leftovers that were just as delicious as the first time. There are so many tempting options here that I definitely plan to return!

I have to say, this is the best Cornish steak pasty I've ever had. I got one of the large ones, and it was huge! It stayed warm even after a 6- or 7-mile drive, and the short wait of 2 or 3 minutes in line was worth it. I apologize for not taking a photo; I couldn't resist diving in as soon as I got it!

We had two pasties and a wild boar dish for our daughter, and the food was truly delightful. The meat was juicy with just the right amount of seasoning, and there were no gristle or fatty pieces. Our daughter’s sausage roll was beautifully baked and not greasy at all. We did have to wait about half an hour before we could eat, but that gave us the chance to visit Hayle Beach and enjoy our meal with a lovely view.

I had a fantastic pasty here. Many years ago, we used to stop by on our way to St. Ives, but it’s been over 20 years since then, and our tastes had shifted toward another pasty brand. However, today we decided to break tradition and try a classic Philps pasty, and it was excellent! It was super hot right out of the oven, and I burned my mouth with every delicious bite. I was genuinely sad when it was over. Great job, Philps! You definitely rank among my favorite pasty makers, and I believe you're right up there with the best of the best.

Wow! I just received an anniversary gift for my partner: four very large pasties that were perfectly wrapped. They smell and taste amazing, and my partner says they are the best anniversary present ever! I accidentally broke one while trying to take pictures. Thank you so much, Philps! We're so happy!
