Introduction
There's nothing wrong with sticking to a classic.
A beautifully baked Traditional Cornish Pasty, filled with beef, potato, swede and onion, is difficult to beat.
But what happens when you fancy something different?
At Proper Pasty Company, we've taken the humble pasty far beyond just one flavour. From hearty Steak & Ale and comforting Creamy Chicken to spicy curries, vegetarian favourites, vegan options and even dessert pasties, there's a pasty for almost every kind of craving.
In fact, Proper Pasty Company offers 25+ speciality pasty flavours, all made in Cornwall, with our Pick Your Own Pasties allowing you to create your own box of favourites.
So the question isn't really:
"Do I fancy a pasty?" It's... "Which pasty flavour should I try next?"
Let's find yours.
What Are the Best Cornish Pasty Flavours?
Ask ten pasty lovers for their favourite pasty flavour and you'll probably receive ten different answers.
Some wouldn't dream of straying from a Traditional Cornish Pasty.
Others want steak and plenty of gravy. Some like cheese and some like spice. While others would happily skip straight to an apple-filled dessert pasty.
That's why our range is deliberately varied.
Our current Pick Your Own Pasties by Post selection includes meat, vegetarian, vegan and dessert pasties, supplied as 283g Medium pasties and available in boxes of 6, 8 or 10.
Here's where we'd start.
The Classics & Proper Meaty Favourites:-
Traditional Cornish Pasty - Where else could we begin. The Traditional Cornish Pasty is the flavour that started it all.
Steak & Gravy Pasty- Love a rich, comforting meat filling. Steak & Gravy is the kind of flavour that immediately feels like proper comfort food.
Steak & Ale Pasty - There are some flavour combinations that simply belong together. Rich, robust and satisfying, this is an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys classic British pub-style flavours.
Steak & Stilton Pasty - Now we're turning things up. The Steak & Stilton Pasty combines beef with Blue Stilton for a richer and more distinctive flavour.
Lamb & Mint Pasty - Few combinations feel quite as traditionally British as lamb and mint. Proper Pasty's Lamb & Mint combines lamb with potato, swede and onion, finished with mint seasoning inside flaky pastry.
Chilli Beef Pasty - This is one for chilli lovers. Proper Pasty's current Chilli Beef recipe combines minced beef, potato, kidney beans, onion, tomatoes, peppers and chilli spices inside its D-shaped pastry.
Steak & Gravy
Pork & Apple Pasty - Savoury pork and sweet apple are natural partners. The contrast makes Pork & Apple an appealing choice for anyone who likes their savoury food with a touch of sweetness.
Hog Roast Pasty - Think of this as a roast dinner wrapped in pastry. The current Proper Pasty Hog Roast Pasty combines pork, smoky bacon, sage and onion stuffing, potato, caramelised onion and Bramley apple, finished with herbs and pork scratchings.
Chicken Pasty Flavours:-
Chicken is wonderfully versatile, which means the chicken pasty can go in several completely different directions.
Chicken, Bacon & Chorizo Pasty - Chicken and bacon already make a comforting combination. Introduce chorizo and suddenly there's another level of savoury flavour.
Creamy Chicken & Leek Pasty - Sometimes simple comfort food wins. The Creamy Chicken Pasty is one to reach for when you want something warming and familiar rather than fiery or adventurous.
Chicken & Bacon Pasty - A hearty combination of tender chicken, smoky bacon, potato and onion, brought together in a rich and creamy sauce. Encased in delicious pastry and finished with a traditional hand-crimped edge, this comforting pasty is packed with flavour and perfect for a satisfying lunch or evening meal.
Thai Red Chicken Pasty - For something further away from the traditional flavour profile, try Thai Red Chicken. It's a good choice for customers who enjoy fragrant, spicier food and want to see just how versatile a pasty can be.
Chicken Bhaji Pasty - Tender chicken with chickpeas, cauliflower and onion bhaji, combined with creamy coconut milk, sweet mango chutney and a delicious blend of aromatic spices and seasonings. A flavour-packed twist on the traditional pasty.
Creamy Chicken & Leek
Chicken Bhaji
Chicken, Bacon & Chorizo
Cheese Pasty Flavours:-
Not every great pasty needs to revolve around meat and cheese certainly knows its way around pastry.
Cheese & Ham Pasty - Salty bacon and cheese are a dependable combination. It's rich, savoury and particularly appealing when you fancy something indulgent.
Cheese & Onion Pasty - A British bakery classic. Cheese & Onion Pasties are straightforward, comforting and proof that vegetarian food doesn't need to be complicated to be delicious.
Proper Pasty currently sells Cheese & Onion within its Pick Your Own range as well as dedicated Cheese & Onion selections.
Cheese, Broccoli & Sweetcorn Pasty - For something a little different, this combination brings together cheese with broccoli and sweetcorn. It's a softer, comforting vegetarian flavour and an easy way to branch out from Cheese & Onion.
Spinach & Ricotta Pasty - This one takes the pasty in a slightly more Mediterranean direction. Spinach & Ricotta is a familiar combination from pasta and pastries, making it a natural fit inside a pasty too.
Cheese, Broccoli & Sweetcorn
Cheese & Onion
Cheese & Ham
Vegetarian & Vegan Pasty Flavours:-
Whether you’re vegetarian or simply looking to enjoy something a little different, our range of vegetarian pasties is packed with delicious flavours and satisfying fillings. From comforting classics to more adventurous combinations, each pasty is wrapped in our tasty shortcrust pastry and made to deliver a hearty, convenient meal straight from your freezer.
Vegetable Pasty - Sometimes you just want vegetables and pastry. The current Proper Pasty Vegetable Pasty includes potato, swede, onion, peas, carrots, sweetcorn and mixed peppers. It's an uncomplicated vegetarian choice with plenty going on inside.
Our Cheese pasties are also vegetarian, excluding our Cheese & Ham
Curried Cauliflower & Onion Bhaji
Steakless Steak
Vegan Pasty Flavours:-
The pasty cupboard doesn't close when you're vegan. Proper Pasty currently offers several vegan pasties through its Pick Your Own selection.
Wholemeal Vegetable Pasty - Like your vegetable pasty but fancy a change from the usual pastry? The Wholemeal Vegetable Pasty offers another way to enjoy a veggie filling and is currently part of the Pick Your Own selection.
Spicy Mediterranean Vegetable Pasty -For something colourful and full of Mediterranean character, try Spicy Mediterranean Vegetable.
Red Thai Curry Veg Pasty - Love Thai-inspired flavours but don't eat meat? This is your answer. Red Thai Curry Veg takes the idea of a warming vegetable curry and puts it into pasty form.
Curried Cauliflower & Onion Bhaji Pasty - This one has takeaway-night energy written all over it. Curried Cauliflower & Onion Bhaji is one of the more distinctive vegan choices in the current Pick Your Own range.
Steakless Steak Pasty - Yes, you read that correctly. Steakless Steak gives vegan customers another savoury option when they're looking for something with the character of a hearty meat-style pasty without the meat. It's currently included in Proper Pasty's vegan Pick Your Own selection.
Dessert Pasty Flavours:-
And now for the part of the pasty menu that sometimes surprises people. Pasties don't have to be savoury.
Dutch Apple & Custard Pasty - Apple, Custard and Pastry. There wasn't much chance of this combination going wrong.
The Dutch Apple & Custard is one of Proper Pasty's current dessert options and offers a very different finish to the traditional savoury pasty experience.
Try this if: Apple pie and custard is your ultimate pudding.
Apple & Blackcurrant Pasty - Another sweet option, Apple & Blackcurrant combines familiar apple with the sharper fruitiness of blackcurrant.
Try this if: You like fruit-filled pies and pastries.
