We decided to head downtown to Cornish Pasty to get some English food and celebrate the Royal Wedding. My husband and I started with a large Greek salad. Our friends started with a bowl of potato leek soup. The salad was huge with large chunks of feta cheese, crisp lettuce, fresh cucumbers tomatoes and onion. The dressing was delicious and the large salad would easily feed three or four as a starter. The soup came with 4-5 slices of bread and our friends said it was delightful. We each ordered an individual pasty. I had the chicken rosemary, my husband had the meat and cheese and our friends had the chicken pot pie and the Guinness. I'm not quite sure how to describe these pies. I can't compare them to theirs I've had because I've never had one before but I can say they were outstanding. The crust is similar to that of a pie but sturdier. The filling in each pasty was perfectly balanced so as to be moist and juicy but not so wet that it would be hard to eat. Each of the pasties came with a side of sauce or gravy. The flavors were outstanding. My chicken rosemary pasty came with a Dijon sauce while
My husband's meat pie came with a red wine gravy. We were stuffed after eating half of what we ordered and boxed up lots to take home. Even though we're were stuffed we had to try some desserts. Banoffee pie, sticky pudding and a pavlova to be exact. Each was outstanding and again, way more than one person could eat. We boxed up most of the desserts to eat later as well. I highly recommend this great place. Service was outstanding and the food is tremendous.
