Thats all a load of bollocks about Devon doing it one way and Cornish doing it another every man to his own. Barnecutts are really nice Pasties I will give you that as well. A pasty has to be fresh you don't know what your getting with Ginsters cheap shit. Cheers Arry Is that Barnecutts in Portreath Arry?? I'm down that way next week. I'm a sucker for a proper old school pastie. Like D said.. best seem to be from your little independent butchers/ bakers. The mass produced ones are just crap. One here from Dartmouth.. i can't actually remember the shop though! lol. Scoffrd it on the beach a Beesands.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let me know if your heading down anytime, I'll treat you to a cuppa on the way through... Will do good man ....i have a distant relation down Redruth way so spent a few days knocking about Porthtowan beech and Port something else i forget now....always fancied a look at The Scilly Isles is that worth doing ?....nice looking beeches etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Used to do a bit of long netting around that area and St Austell way,do miss the place still and am trying to get this lorry sorted for a week away down there end of the month.. I remember being down that way and walking out of a shop with a Lamb & Mint Sauce Pastie ....seemed a f****n bizarre thing to be eating but tasty enough.....seems like they'll sling just about anything in a pastie.

A 3/4 day stay is probably enough tbh if your used to "doing stuff". Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry I'll be checking Wadebridge out then mate.. see if can hunt a decent pasty out! I know the spot at Slapton Arry, been a few times and we stayed at the camping and caravan site at the back there a few years ago but I'm bit further down the road at the mo in Dorset until Saturday then we move on down to Cornwall for a week. I would have popped down to see you otherwise matey.. would have been nice that.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
