Mince Pie Fest 2025: Cornish Pasty Shop

"The best mince pies in the world" according to the shop's owner. The owner who also told me that they don't like mince pies.

Quite the paradox.

These are BIG! And unlike Asda's similarly sized efforts, they are packed full of filling. The pastry has a lovely flavour, semi-savoury, semi-sweet, and is firm and thick, with a pleasant crumble. The bountiful filling is chunky and tasty, but lacks anything special; there's no booze and not a lot of spice.

It should probably be noted at this stage that these are £4.50 each, and even if they were indeed the best mince pies in the world, I'm not sure I could recommend them at that price. 3 out of 5. (Palm oil? Unknown!)
