| - I finally made it here after being hounded by a friend to go! What a fun, unique place that gives off cool vibe while also being low-key. They have a church pews for seating, a large bar, great music, and artwork to pay tribute to the Cornish miners.
I never had a pasty until I came here. They're similar to what most know as a calzone or hot pocket, except MUCH MUCH better. They aren't stuffed with pizza toppings, but rather, complete meals such as hamburger and fries or steak and cheese! Cornish offers a variety of options. Of them are hearty dishes and vegetarian dishes. A specific number of pasties are pre-made each day so be aware that the one you may want might not be available. And to that note, whatever ingredients are in the pasty are there to stay. Also bc they are pre-made you are unable to remove items from the pasty. I assure you though, they have a large selection to choose from so keep an open mind!
I had the Peppered Steak which comes filled with steak, mushrooms, leeks, zucchini, and blue cheese. Umm and they serve it with a peppercorn, brandy cream sauce! The pasty shell itself is flaky, has a very light hint of sweetness, and holds it's shape very well. One pasty is more than enough for one person. I had to cut mine in half and saved the other half for dinner the next day. To top it off, I also ordered a side dish. The Broccoli and Cauliflower Cheese Bake. Just order it. It's cheesy and crispy and it has vegetables! Pretty legit combo.
Notes:
-The location is off the beaten path in a plaza where there are also other hidden restaurant gems. The area isn't very great, but there is a lot of traffic from others also seeking new food to eat.
-The service is solid. Drinks on time. Good suggestions are given. Food comes out fairly quick.
-The food is not only delicious, but it's an experience! This is a great place to bring several people with and share pasties. I did this on my second trip and was able to try 3 other pasties in one sitting.
BTW it's pronounce "pas-t?" or "pass-tee." There's my bit and I hope you give it a try at least one time!
