The Cornish Pasty | Food Review
A taste of Cornwall
We had three days to enjoy Cornwall as much as possible. Bearing in mind we had an extra long journey, all I could think about was the first hot meal. The first thing I wanted to do was try the local dish… An authentic Cornish Pasty.
Trying to keep our costs low, we had ‘room only’ and bought lots of food and snacks from home, so when Saturday Morning came, we were already stuffed with breakfast food, and snacks (like croissants, fruits, and brioche) that we had brought for our short stay.
A little later, we attempted to have a Cornish Pasty for lunch. We were so over-occupied with trails, beach visits, and hiking spots, time passed by so quickly, it was time for dinner.
The bakeries were closed so we decided to go for Fish and Chips for Dinner. We found a 5* rated Fish and Chip shop and they were quite cheap. The Fish and Chips were absolutely delicious.
Sunday morning came really quickly and it was almost time for us to head back home.
The Cornish Pasty
We had dozens of bakeries to choose from, or so we thought… Many of the bakeries had a late opening time on Sunday, so we were lucky our chosen bakery was open. Among the few, we thought we had ‘Women Bakery’, ‘The Cornish Pasty’, ‘Oggy Oggy’ ‘Mom’s Pasties’ and ‘Pauline’s’, but only ‘The Cornish Pasty’ was open. Luckily this was the bakery we decided on the day before.
We had to wait 45 minutes for our Cornish Pasty to be baked fresh so we sat in Costa, had a coffee and waited! It was an absolute winner to say the least. A real traditional Cornish pasty, much like I’ve tasted before, as it was my second time in Cornwall. As the large chunks of potato, chopped onion and cuts of beef hit the roof of my mouth, I was ready to extend my weekend all over again!
Overall, my experience of Cornwall was absolutely breathtaking and restful. Although I only spent a few small days there, the people were friendly and warm. I felt safe and comfortable, and I look forward to returning.

Where we Chose… As other family members were joining us on this vacation to Mombasa, it made more sense to book our flights and accommodations separately especially as we had intentions to stay in other areas across Kenya.

The New Spirit of Africa When we were looking for flights, Ethiopian Airlines was an airline I did not consider. Simply because it wasn’t widely recommended, nor had I known anyone that had used them before. Although flight prices with Ethiopian Airlines were much cheaper, familiarity became my priority over expenses. I wanted to use… - Travelling to Kenya? Try The Magical City of Mombasa
So, it was definitely time to return to the Motherland, and this time, I decided on somewhere new. Somewhere I had not been before… and I chose Kenya. I had my eye on Kenya for years, but it was December 2025 that the Lord said “At the right time, I the Lord will make it…
