| - Go there...go there now! What are you waiting for? My Cornish pasty was one of the best I've ever eaten in the world, and I'm from pie capital of the world (the UK) so that's a pretty big compliment!
Don't let the slightly dodgy neighbourhood (okay, I'm being nice here, you are certainly not in "Kansas" any more) put you off, and to be honest the black painted restaurant front lacks a little (again being nice) curb appeal. Just go in...I assure you that you will not be disappointed with the pasties!
Ok, so I am going to speak to the service but I am not putting the blame for the slow service and lack of a "MUST HAVE WITH PASTY" side. The onus belongs on the owners who are clearly over working their one waitress during peak times. My colleague and I arrived around 11:30 and about 4 tables were full. Then a table of about 8 arrived. So I wouldn't say the place was packed out. We waited about 25 minutes (and I'm guessing here) for our food, but it was WELL worth the wait. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and was doing the absolute best she could on her own.
My biggest disappointment was the lack of mushy peas. If you've never had mushy peas with your pie (or pasty) then you have never lived. We're not talking your bog-standard garden pea variety here, these are well-cooked, sloppy marrow fat peas that "mush" once cooked (yep, no masher involved here!) They are a perfect accompaniment to your pie or pasty (along with the most delicious gravy). Despite having mushy peas on the menu, my hopes were dashed when I was informed that one of "the partners" didn't make the peas yesterday (yes, this sloppy, side dish of scrumptiousness takes a LONG time to cook). So, after crying a little into my diet coke, I put on a brave face and ate my pasty without the mushy peas. As I said, one of the best I've ever tasted! i had the original (The Oggie) and the best in my opinion. If you've never had a pasty before, get the original - it's truly a masterpiece!
So, to the owners - get yourself some additional help and get the bloody mushy peas on every day! I gave you 5 stars because of your amazing food and the service was great but slow, but I can't blame the waitress for that. So, if fellow yelpers make it to the bottom of my diatribe, they can decide for themselves if they are willing to put up with slow service and missing side dishes for an AMAZING pasty (yes...PAST-Y, not PASTE-Y)
