Ann’s Pasties in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Used to be amazing before they expanded. Used to buy them at little house in lizard and were so good. Now they are oversalted, little pepper and have little to no beef in. Tried last year and today, today equally poor. Lost sight of what made them good for volume of sales and profit

Amazing Pasties and Sausage Rolls. Small menu but steak pasties were delicious. We had medium and they were plenty big enough for lunch. Sat in window seats and watched the world go by.

Choice is super limited, steak cheese or vegan. Unfortunately my steak was too salty for me & wife. Good seating area outside though.

We'd never been to Porthleven before - lovely harbour - and also never had an Ann's pasty before; they were fantastic (so good that we went back 2 more times during our holiday). Fresh from the oven and piping hot, you could tell the quality (both had medium steak). Some indoor seating and a covered outdoor area as well, so plenty of places to grab a seat and eat.

As the title states, perfect pastry, fresh ingredients , and Impossible to finish in one sitting. Nowhere else come close.

Without a shadow of a doubt, these are the best pasties in Cornwall, and therefore the world!! Simple filling, but perfectly cooked - chunks of tender meat etc, but how the hell do they get that umami flavour on the crust!! I’m going to order some online in winter!! Heaven!!

Pasty and a pint? Don't mind if I do!

The filling is delicious…… the pastry is even better! Happy to find Ann’s Pasties in Porthleven whilst hiking the Loe Bar Loop. The cakes here are also very good ( we had Raspberry and White Chocolate Blondie).

Great pasty and probably the best in Cornwall, I gave it only a 4/5 as I found it overly salty

We usually go down to the shop on the Lizard, but thought we would try the shop in Porthleven. The steak pasties were just as we remembered, absolutely delicious, and still our favourite pasties in Cornwall. They don't have loads of meat in them, which might put some people off, but the vegetables are so perfectly seasoned and the pastry is so good that we don't mind at all. The medium steak pasties are £4.95 each and worth every penny.

Anne's were amongst the very best pasty money could buy and held their own in the top tier alongside 'Gear Farm' & 'Marys'. We would regularly drive a 26-mile round trip to Helston as hubby also loved their 'Chicken Pasty'. Since they've stopped making chicken, hubby has been going to Philps instead. We've just had pasties in Porthleven. Mine was an Anne's & daughter had a steak & hubby a chicken from Philps. To be honest, whilst I enjoyed my pasty, it wasn't up to the quality that I've been used to, they seemed somewhat smaller & the prices have gone up beyond what I'd spend on a regular treat. Overall, although not disappointing, hubby's & daughters were better from Philps.

A great little pasty shop with a small outdoor eating area to have a draught beer while having your pasty. The pasties are delicious, some of the best I've had. We made two visits while in Porthleven, but the service both times was quite poor. No warm welcome, no smile and, for some reason, by 1pm a lot of pasties were sold out. Having said all of this, the pasties were so good, I wouldn't hesitate returning on another visit to the area.

I like to think myself as a well rounded pasty eater. Grans are the best but mother's are the same. then you look into the commercial market many makers not even worth mentioning (rowes,warrens,oggy oggy, minsters....) The ones that stand out to me are Pips of penryn, Marys grampound road, Philps porthleven, barnecutts wadebridge. But Annes have gone further and replicated me mothers pastry what a treat - Meat and veg correct producing a nice burn on the underside seasoning good. Only thing that mithed me was a top crimp but everyone has there theory on that. Thanks you

went to royal cornwall show andvthey pushed up prices WHY the pasty was small i paid £5.95 they are not that price normal why push up price will not use this bakery again daylight robbery for a small pasty

The best Pasty I’ve ever had! A perfect spot close to the harbour. The Pasties are absolutely incredible! And the beers go down a great! I will be back soon!

A great treat and a really delicious meal. The steak pasties are full of meat that is tender and flavour filled. A light pastry and veg complete this great meal. Thank you

Hands down best Pastie in town, great crust, lots of filling, packed full of flavour.

Lovely pastys, one of Cornwall's best 💚

Had an amazing Vegan pasty today. To call it small would be an understatement it was enough for 2.

Thank you so much for supplying about 80 pasties for our post wedding get together! They were delivered for free, arrived on time, were warm and delicious! We’ve always loved Ann’s but it was great that so many guests commented on them being the best pasties they’ve ever tried! The team we communicated with in advance were also extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you so much 😊

Ann’s pasties food is very good they have options of both vegan, cheese and steak which all are equally excellent as well as being able to order larger amounts of pastries in advance to be picked up at a later date. The only difficult thing is parking as they are in the middle of Porthleven they have no car park meaning the parking is on the street and is mostly completely full during peak season meaning drop off is the only accessible option other than this the actual place is great.

Delicious brownies and coffee. Looking forward to visit again

Best pasties in Porthleven. We have to get one from here every time we come down. We all love it!!

I drove down from Truro to try an Ann's pastie as seen on be TV. I went for a medium steak. The staff were very warm and friendly checking I didn't want to add a coffee or a drink. The pastry was amazing best I have had in Cornwall. I had been a little disappointed as initially I didn't find the steak, all was at one end. On contacting customer services to review I was delighted with the service given, who immediately apologised and looked at a solution to resolve. I have now tried a large steak and it was delicious, all previous concern disappeared and next time I am in Porthleven I will be coming back to sample more. Thank you for the great customer service.

Best pastie, great business, fully recommend.

First time in Cornwall so I had to try a pastie or 12 and out of the numerous pasties I had this was CLEARLY the best. I would highly recommend visiting!

Delicious pasties, and a nice seating area to enjoy them in.

Ann's pasties are simply the best

DON'T BUY FROM ANY OF ANNE'S BRANCHES - THEY ARE CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION BY TRADING STANDARDS!

Heard about this place from a friend and had to visit when we were in Cornwall. The cornish pasties (Large) are massive and pretty cheap for the size, but the filling, although really tasty, is mostly veg! The pastry is lovely, tasty, crispy, filling and the thing weighs a Ton! Best cornish we had while in Cornwall! worth a go if you are in Lizard point and wanna feed the family!!

Sad to say the pasties we had this morning were the worst we've ever had in Cornwall. My partner's family are Cornish and have been going to Ann's at the Lizard for years and we expected these ones to be of the same quality. Mine was completely dry and unseasoned and my partner's had uncooked beef in his. Staff were very friendly but sadly we are unlikely to revisit unless the quality returns to what we are used to.

A lovely seating area and great pasties! Vegan and vegetarian options available as well as the steak, the vegan pasties were great! Friendly staff!

Absolutely delicious Pasty. Really go get one. Even the pastry has great flavour before you even get to the filling. Lovely staff, very clean well presented shop.

Although the pasties are clearly made from high quality ingredients, they are kept warm under tea towels, as they don’t appear to have a heated cabinet. Unfortunately this means if your unlucky enough to try them when they’re just luke warm, they may have been held at a temperature that encourages harmful bacterial growth and like me you’ll spend a lot of time on the toilet. Basic Food and Hygiene Practices need to be reviewed!!!!

Really nice pasties best I had in Cornwall

Much more pleasant and welcoming experience than Philps down the road. Staff are delightful and the pastry they use for their pasties is all sorts of deliciousness.

I wanted to order/buy a pastie from the shop in Porthleven one day this month at @3.30pm. A lady member of staff was behind the counter and the door was open, so I went in. The young lady said (before I could order)"WE ARE CLOSED". I replied that the door was open, there was no sign on it saying "closed"and the website says this shop is open until 5.00pm every day. She replied that "we are closed". When I asked why the door was open and there were no opening times on the door to help potential customers, she said I was being rude. I do not think this is good customer service. Either they are open until 5.00pm or should close when they have sold out and put up a closed sign on the closed door. On my way out,she slammed the door shut. What more can I say, but I thought "the customer is always right". I could have been ordering 12 pasties to collect the next day, but since she never gave me the chance, to order because the shop was "closed", she and Ann's Pasties lost another customer.

The best pasty in Cornwall and trust me, I've had enough from other places to compare. The pastry is the bit that sets them apart from the others, but the locally sourced ingredients come together to make it nothing short of delicious. Living in Kent, I also regularly take advantage of their postal delivery service, despite travelling over 300 miles, they never disappoint. The new shop in the Lizard Village is well worth a visit, the Jaffa Cake Brownie I had from there today was delicious.

Probably the best pasty in Cornwall?!

One of the best vegan pasties I've ever had! Looking forward to having another!!

Yum! Arguably the best pasties in Cornwall, really delicious, definitely the best I’ve had. And very generous sizes. Nice simple selection of flavours on the menu, plus vegan options. Worth popping in for a lovely warming treat. Open for takeaway during lockdown 2.0!!

These pasties are incredible. The first bite of the flaky tasty pastry is unrivalled and the filling (we like the cheese ones) is full to the brim of warm goodness. We had three in a week by designing walks of the coast path to coincide with the Ann's pasty shop at Porthleven or Lizard. Just delicious. Will be ordering some online to enjoy at home too!

Best pasties in Cornwall for sure!

we read about this in Lonely planet so went there - NOT disappointed. I think they said it was best pasties in Cornwall and they were not wrong - yum yum

Quality pasties. Nice level of saltiness on the pastry itself, good quality steak under the hood. Recommended.

The vegan pasties here are fantastic.

Beautiful pasties and coffee best we’d tasted in Cornwall and we had eaten quite a few- will be ordering on line when we get home

We were in the village and socially isolating so decided on a pasty. As we choose a vegan diet we are quite used to having bland, poorly filled pies and pastries all over the place but the Vegan Pasties (They Have a V on the top) at Anns were stunning. Filled to bursting with Potatoes and turnips beautifully spiced and wrapped in amazing pastry ... 11/10

Absolutely stunning pasties! Best me and my husband have ever had. Beautiful stuff

First time in Cornwall so I had to try a pastie or 12 and out of the numerous pasties I had this was CLEARLY the best. I would highly recommend visiting!

One of the best traditional pasty's in Cornwall (in my opinion! ). What more can I say! Very hot very tasty.

Lord knows what Ann traded for this majestic recipe I don't know but by God, these things are nectar for the Gods

Lush pasties. Proper good pastry too!

The Pasties were really, really good

Been enjoying Ann's pasties for many years now, originally from the Lizard, but much more conveniently positioned now in Porthleven. They really are the best! Generally go for the steak but tried a vegan pasty last week, and it was lovely. Can't fault, friendly welcoming staff clean + well organised.

Had a gorgeous steak pasty from here. I found it strange that Philps pasty shop had a long queue, when Ann's had no queue and the pasties are much better. Life makes no sense!!

Wonderful hot pasties.. delicious.. very filling and worth the trip. Lovely little seating area outside the shop. Coffee wasn't much too shout about.. but the main reason for going was for the patie... which was Yummmy

We tried a few bakeries in Helston then tried Ann’s pasties and OMG Delish! I never liked pasties before trying one of these. There are Ann pasties all over Cornwall and you can also order them online 😋

Had my pasty fix today at Anns ,top marks ,these pasties are of the most excellent quality ,no cost cutting with the ingredients is evident and I have never had a better pasty (the ones at St Buryan farm shop were a close draw though )

First time getting pasties from lo here today and we were not disappointed. Ann's Pasties was recommended to me and having bought lots of different pasties from various places in Cornwall, in my opinion these are the best.The pastry is tasty, crispy, flaky and just all round lovely. There is plenty of filling and they don't skimp on the meat. It is well seasoned and really tasty.If you're wanting a pasty and near Porthleven (not sure where their other shop is) then Ann's Pasties is the place to go.

Oh no the only "Ann's Pasties" now available will be from the Helston bakery......nothing like the pasties made fresh at Ann's Lizard shop We got pasties from the Porthleven shop yesterday. They were awful ☹️ made with tough chewwy chucks of meat.....we would have returned them had we not walked to Loe Bar to have our lunch. We had brought an extra pastie to share, but that like the "meat" got feed to the seagulls. Needless to say that'll be the last time we buy a factory produced Ann's pastie... Luckily Good proper pasties available from Gear Farm.

Anne's pasties are not the same made in Helston and delivered to the Porthleven shop.....worst meat ever experienced in a local pasty. Not a terrible flavour just ruined with the cheap chunks of beef that all got spat or pulled out.....won't ever be buying again....☹️

Called in on a wet and windy February day to take some pasties home. Was told they only had cheese, but steak would be ready later when cooked, impression I got was that they were in the oven. Asked counter staff to save me a couple and I would return a little later. Returned after an hour and a half to exactly the same story! Only cheese! What type of Cornish pastie only contains cheese, mystified I went down to Philps pasties and purchased them there, very good and steak!

Beautiful Cornish Pasties, well filled and juicy. Also tried Sausage Roll with Apricots....delicious!

Huge pasty! Great value for money and very friendly service. The pasty was very tasty and steaming hot! Thank you

One of the best pasties I ever had

After reading the reviews of Ann's pasties was expecting something extraordinary. But I was disappointed, wet potato and swede and very little meat, pastry was good, have had better pasties but will keep that to myself.

I first heard of Ann years ago on a Henrietta Green’s food prog on Radio 4, we sought her out on our next visit to Cornwall and visited her garage shop on the Lizard. Well, her wonderful pasties have spoiled us for anything else! We have bought pasties from other establishments over the years but nothing come close to Ann’s, lovely pastry and tasty filling, it’s always a real dilemma on our first evening: pasties or fish & chips?We’ve been vegetarian for about 10yrs now and nothing beats her cheese pasty, cheesy, peppery & lots of veg. We were so pleased when she opened the Porthleven shop so we don’t have to drive to the Lizard several times each time we visit Porthleven!

Loved the pasties and sausage rolls. Service brilliant.

The best pasties ever sold here. Have visited twice in the last week & both times the pasties were AMAZING. Lovely lady serving too, very welcoming and just teally lovely. If you want a good pasty, look no further than here.

BEST PASTIES IN CORNWALL. ALL LOCAL PRODUCE, HAND MADE. NO FACTORY STUFF!

We've eaten loads of pasties over the years and even bought different pasties and together and done a taste test. These pasties are our favourite by a Cornish mile!

Loved these pasties full of meat tasted really good

Located just up Fore Street less than a minute walk from the Porthleven harbour, Ann's Pasties is a simple shop containing a small bar, and a counter showing all their offerings: Steak or Cheese or Vegan Pasties (all in small, medium or large), the Gurt Licker (!), Liver & Onion, Hoggs Puddings and Baked Bean Hoggin, and they also have daily specials on a black board. They also sell sausage rolls in plain, sage & apricot or black pudding, apple & thyme. To wash your food down they also sell Hell's beer on tap - both the the lager and IPA. There is also a fridge selling chilled drinks such as Coke, 7up, Vimto, bottles of Gin, Tonic, sparkling fruit juices, wine and cider. And they even deliver country wide via their website. What's not to love!

The Ann's Traditional Steak Pasty IS one of the best pasties in Cornwall (of all the pasties I have sampled). Plenty of meat (although even more would be great!), great veg combination, well seasoned and fabulous pastry. Very hot (temperature) too.

It's like a party in my mouth and everyone is Cornish.

Just the best pastie weve had since being here in Cornwall..Highly recommended..

Tried the pasties from Ann's shop today ad was served by a lovely pleasant young lady name of Bronnen.Been in Cornwall all week and had some rubbish pasties but my daughter had recommended Ann's pasties to us and have to say they were by far the best weve had all week. Beautiful pastry nicely cooked potato and plenty of steak too, also nice and hot! . Can highly recommend, you must try! Sorry no photo of the pastie but here's the coffee cup lol.

Stopped for lunch at the recommendation of our tour driver. He knew I loved pasties from an early age as my Grandmother was from Cornwall. What a pleasant and delicious pastie!!! So traditional with flaky crust, and thinly chipped potatoes, just like I was taught to make them. Wish my own were as good!

Thrilled they had the vegan pasty, delicious.

Best pasty going, just like the Porthleven pasties I used to get from a bakers just down the road from this shop many years ago, and do postal as well, win win. puts Philps overly peppery things to shame.

Pasty amazing (small cheese and not that small). Table in the shade amazing. Staff amazing. Packed us off with iced water in the kids water bottles after umpteen questions directed at the lady serving from four hungry kids fresh from the beach

Yum, yum and more yum. Two of us had the pastie and beer deal for £6.85 (?) which was great and they were cooked and prepped ready to go!

Nice pasty. A bit salty but really beefy.

The best pasties I have ever had! Had some on our first day and had to go back to get some for the journey home from our trip to Porthleven.

On our recent trip to Cornwall we visited Ann's pasties on a number of occasions. Each pastie has been delicious would highly recommend.

We always make a beeline for Ann’s pasties when we are in Cornwall. They now do a breakfast pasty which is delicious. You must have an Ann’s pasty these are the best!

These pasties are not for the faint-hearted. They are absolutely packed with melt-in-the-mouth steak, onions, swede and potato - everything melded together and well seasoned with salt and pepper. Very basic ingredients, but when you eat in combination with the lightest and tastiest flaky pastry, it's a real treat!! Best pasty that I've ever had - and very filling. My kids had a cheese/veg and they also loved them. This is a must-visit to anyone in this neck of the woods; in fact, if you are in the area, make a trip specially to get one - eat it down at the picturesque harbour. Great value and great flavours!!!

Although nothing can be as tasty as the Horse and Jockey pasties, these pasties come a very close second. Full of filling. Tasty. Sometimes far too hot though and you can burn your mouth.

This was the second time we visited as the first time they had run out of pasties at midday. There are 3 pasty options: steak, cheese or vegan. As a vegetarian, this narrowed it to two options for me. The vegan pasty I chose had bread like pastry and the filling was just vegetables- no flavouring such as curry powder or spices. Very disappointed.

Wonderful pasty with light pastry and not too thick a crust. Packed full with meat and veg. Best eaten on the quayside out of the paper bag.

We’ve tried many pasties over all our years in and around Cornwall. The pastry is the absolute best, and the filling very flavoursome.

Very poor the pasty was dry and quite raw in places

That. Pastry. 😍😍😍 so much choice in terms of flavours, and great sausage roll options too! Staff also really friendly and understandably passionate about the new flavours. Will definitely visit again!

My Son bought me one of these a month ago and it travelled well from Cornwall, tasted great and was thoroughly enjoyable.

Excellent first time trying pasties from this company. Usually the only good quality pasties are mothers homemade. But these definitely tie in for a close second, even she is a longtime fan! Will certainly be back for more when I next visit. A shame I no longer live in Cornwall, then again it probably saves the waistline!

We have visited a few times before but only now thought to leave a review on trip advisor. We came down to Cornwall for 4 days and visited here twice even though we were staying a good 40 miles away from Ann’s. Love the fact you have a meat/cheese/vegan option, makes it so simple when ordering for a group. I’ve grown up in Cornwall and honestly the best pasties I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend making the trip - but get there early they are very popular!

Best Pasties ever tasted......I wonder if they deliver to Australia ???? I had a large Beef pasty and my wife had a medium Vegan pasty. Highly recommended if you are ever in Porthleven.

Great pasties. Perfect pastry. Would like more meat and larger chunks. Also more pepper. However that is for my personal taste. Will happily eat here again.

Lovely vegan pasties in a nice little village
