Ann's Pasties in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Fab pastie. Ona par with Gear Farm. Had pastie as takeaway with a coffee. Pastie was hot but not nuclear! Friendly staff.

Gold medal. Amazing. We’ve tried a few during our holiday in Cornwall and none come near to Ann’s. (But try the Quay Bakery in Fowey for the silver medal)

Ann’s is the place of legend, a Cathedral of pasty making. You’ll not find a better pasty anywhere else so give up trying. Absolutely spot on. Proper job.

Actually, pasty from Ann's Pasties stall at Truro Food Festival 25th-29th September. Pastry was good. A bit short on meet, nice balance of potato, swede and onion. Slightly dry for a pasty. 6/10.

Mush. Was ripped off. After a long walk around the Lizard point was starving and looking forward to a pasty. My wife went in to buy them at 2:15pm. They had no traditional pasties left! My wife bought vegetable pastys which cost the same as steak ones. I took mine back and asked for a refund, intending to go elsewhere. They did offer me £2, so some credit to them, but no refund so I decided to eat it anyway. Pastry was ok. Filling was disgusting, squishy, tasteless, multi-coloured muck. Day ruined. What kind of pasty business has no proper pastys left by 2:15pm? Don’t buy the vegetable ones, they are awful.

Best pasties ever, so full of flavour and filling. Did notice that small pasties and the larger ones need to be ordered in advance, think it said 24 hours, but medium ones just right, ok ok ok.....we're on hols so may be eating more! But holiday calories don't count! We couldn't wait to tuck in and ate on way back to holiday home!

Best pasty me and my son have ever had. We tried a few other so called kings of the cornish pasty world whilst in South Cornwall. But Ann's got the tastiest pasty I've had in forever!!! Enjoy!!

We visited Ann's Pasties in Lizard village on a Saturday lunchtime in May during a weeklong visit to Cornwall and whilst on a visit to Lizard Point. We had driven to Lizard Point and parked in the National Trust car park which is free to members, a dedicated pedestrian route following ‘Lighthouse Road’ links the car park and the village. We found Ann’s pasties in ’The Square’ in Lizard village and it is a fair sized premises. The shop has a good amount of inside seating and also some outside seating and we chose the former joining another group on a large table. The café was very well patronised though it was lunchtime on a Bank Holiday weekend. There is a good choice of pasty fillings available and also sizes though at the time for our visit there were no ‘medium’ sized pasties and we had to settle for a large one. The pasty was served in a paper bag and was very good though the pastry was very flaky making for lots of crumbs especially when eating from the bag. We certainly enjoyed our lunchtime meal here and when finished moved off to explore the area further.

Monday lunchtime 12,30wife went in to buy 2 pasties when she came out she said sit here and eat them on the bench as they,re ONLY warm .I toke them straight back,and asked for two hot pasties,the young girl replaced the pasties saying you,ll find them hotter once you,ve got inside.UTTER RUBBISH they were exactly the same as the first two luke warm,,to be honest the young girl was,nt very interested,,,won't be wasting nearly 10 pounds in this shop again

Trying to be kind by giving a 4 star review but not as good as in the past. The pasties now seem to be inconsistent, some days they are 5 star and other days 2 or 3 star. I still like the pastry but the filling is not the best nowadays. I’m not saying I wouldn’t go again but just a tad disappointing. Probably because of the very high standards from a few years ago.

Went to get pasties to take back to the camp site in the shop on the green,only medium left so we had 2.(wrapped very well).reheated later on for tea......the standard has gone down.....other pasties far better and more filling. So sorry to report this.

We visited twice on latest visit.On first occasion (a bank holiday) we had 1 medium steak and 1 medium cheese pasty and on second occasion 2 x medium steak pasties.Freshly made, piping hot, good filling and very tasty.What's not to like.Considering ordering online for the future.Well done girls!

Ann's smelt amazing when we walked past but I wish we wasn't fooled. We had 1x cheese pastry, 1x steak pastry and a sausage roll. The sausage roll was absolutely disgusting. I'm not sure what's happening there but it was all meat, no pastry. The herbs they used in it was gross and stayed with me all day. My daughter had the steak pasty which she said was chewy. The cheese was ok, but lacked a cheese taste? It was mostly potato and onion.

Wow , simply the best Cornish pasties!!! Lovely staff who upon me asking if they knew where I could buy some plasters (on a Sunday) for a badly blistered heel very kindly gave me a plaster …. so kind, thank you!

Picked up a couple of steak pasties and a cheese pasty following a long walk along the beautiful coast. The meat in the steak pasties was tender but there wasn’t much of it and, for our taste, the filling was under-seasoned and bland. The cheese pasty was quite tasty but, again, nothing special.Now priced at £4 each.Better pasties are available elsewhere

Bought 2 late in the day and they were the worst pasties we have ever eaten. The pastry was tough. Very little meat and no evidence of swede. They were also way overpriced. £3.85 for medium steak!!

The first two pasties we had were unbelievable, perfectly seasoned, plenty of meat, the tastiest flaky pastry we've ever had however - the second ones we had, not so great. Don't get me wrong they were still very tasty, but the meat one only had a few pieces of steak in, which was a bit chewy and the cheese and onion one was just vegetable, still tasty but certainly not cheese and onion (they may have put the wrong one in the bag and we got a vegetarian one). The main photos on this page are old, no longer located at a yellow cottage but right in the center of Lizard itself. We would have again as I said they were very tasty.

I have been cooking pasties to the Cornish pasty association recipe for years and always like to try pasties in Cornwall to compare. I must say that most establishments seem to be able to get away with selling some awful stuff to gullible tourists these days.Anyway, Ann’s pasty. The pastry was okay’ish, though I don’t think it was lard based and it was a bit flaky. The filling was good with identifiable ingredients. The one star only, is for the seasoning. I like salt on my food, but this was inedible. Way, way too much salt. So much that I didn’t even give it to to my dogs. Had to go in a bin. Can’t eat = 1 star.I did e-mail the business, but they couldn’t be bothered to answer (others did).Avoid, there are better pasties out there somewhere.

After reading up on best pasties in Cornwall we looked at location to where we where and this one was one of the closest so we made the short trip to lizard to try one.... I was absoloutly NOT disappointed neither where my family party. Yes there was no seating hut who really cares. Grab your pasty and get out to the outdoors and scran away. This was hands down the nicest pasty I've eaten "SO FAR" however I'm now going on a corniche pasty tour. Great start and I'll definatly be back for a gurt licker steak

Visited Ann’s pasties (now in the new location next to the green) as we do everytime we go to Cornwall. I had a large steak pasty and it didn’t disappoint. I can’t fathom all of the poor reviews on here lately as it was definitely first class! The pastry is amazing and the filling plentiful and tasty!The best pasties around in my opinion as they have been for the past 10 years.

Had 2 pasties and a sausage roll. The sausage roll was lovely, full of meat. The pasty was just pastry with a lot of veg and 4 bits of meat that was very chewy. Very disappointed

Must be 20 years since we first had Anne's pasties - they were a revelation then, but now they're not quite what they were. Still a good notch above the rest, but they lack the personal touch we used to love.

We had been looking forward to trying Ann's Pasties for years and finally this year we made it. Ann is lovely and genuine, but something isn't right with the quality of the beef she is currently using. It's chewy, tough, even gristly and pretty sparse. Ann you need to spot check, the meat (& lack of it) is going to let your hard earnt reputation down. Get a secret shopper to check they are to your standard. Is someone swapping out cheap meat for your usual? Is your butcher letting you down? We cannot phathom out the problem, but the pastry is to die for.

Tasteless pastry disaster.!!!!!!!!! A snazzy shop a pasty dose not make, don’t invest your money or time here🤢

Made a special trip to the Lizard to buy a couple of Ann's pasties today, as we have done on every holiday to Cornwall for the last 20 years or so. We were suprised to see the little yellow house in Beacon Road closed, and the name "Ann's Pasties" over a shop on Lizard Green instead. These pasties were very poor, so unlike the original Ann's recipe. It seems the brand has been bought but not the recipe or pastry skills of Ann, the doyenne of the proper pasty. What a shame, but all good things must come to an end. Buy your pasties elsewhere now.

A most unwelcoming place. Signs saying the seating areas are closed, no hot drinks, no sausage rolls.Pasties we’re not at all pleasant.Luckily we shared one, because I had to return one untouched, as it was burnt on the outside, only to be contradicted by the staff.Do o shared a pastor with my wife. She said I shouldn’t bother and she was right. The pastie was okay, but all stodgy inside with a hard pastry outside. At least I got a refund on the burnt one.To be fair, the food smelled lovely in the shop and lots of people were buying.No better than a motorway services experience. No worse either.

£3.85 totally wasted, hardly ant filling, let alone steak, and the pastry was grossly overcooked and like flooring material. went down there in aug.21, people were spitting them out onto the ground. Been down to lizard village many times, all other shops grade a1! the whole shop smelt of burnt pasties of which they had many, all waiting to be sold to unsuspecting tourists etc. landewwenack parish council wont take complaint, nor will cornwall council business compliance team, cornwall's tradind standards remain shut, cornwall live aren't interested either. so let's just spread the word on social media etc! and their facebook page! trash pasties! just look how many other complaints! trash pasties!

Worst pasty EVER!! Dry, tasteless, pastry was like trying to eat cardboard. The only good to say was that the only 3 pieces of meat that was in the pasty was tender.

We had been recommended to try Ann's Pasties when we visited the Lizard, so we were really looking forward to trying them. Never again!! They were definitely the worst pasties were have had for many years, and we come to Cornwall every year and have done for the last 20 years. They tasted of nothing. The pastry was ridiculously thick and had the texture of baked leather. Buy your pasties somewhere else, not from Ann's.

Mismanaged. How does a pastie shop run o out of pasties?? Im sure theyre very nice, but Ill never know.

We love a few pasties when we visit Cornwall and these were the best we have ever tasted. All the family had a traditional pasty and ate it all up.

Ordered 3 steak pasties, 1 cheese pasty, and 1 sausage roll. The 4 pasties where very disappointing, tasteless and very little meat in the steak ones! However, the sausage roll was one of the best I've had! I would go back for the sausage rolls, but think I'd go else where for the pasties.

Agent all the reviews and media coverage Ann’s pasties were a must visited on Saturday wife bought two medium pasties, needed a hammer and chisel to enter the casing stuff inside once there looked like something the dog threw up. Would not let me take them back didn’t want a fuss but I wish I had. 100 yds down road pasties there excellent

This was our first Cornish pasty during our holiday, and it was definitely a good start! My partner had a steak one, I had a cheese and onion one and there was also a vegan option. The pastry was lovely and the fillings were hot but without feeling like lava so could easily eat.

Hadn’t had an Ann’s pasty for some years and I thought they had really improved from my last visit. Steak pasty very hot and tasty and extremely filling.

The pasties are gorgeous and the black pudding sausage rolls are to die for. Cakes are pretty good too, particularly liked the Bakewell slice!

We popped in for a pasty, I imagine that due to Covid the choice was fairly limited so we bought two cheese and two beef pasties. Hands down the best pasty we have ever had. Crispy flakey pastry, hot, moist filling well seasoned the meat pasties had an even distribution of meat inside. Will be back and would definitely recommend.

The pasty wasn’t on view. I was given it on a bag and only on getting home and unwrapping it did I see it was burnt. If I’d have seen it on view I would never have purchased it. The taste was bitter and inedible, so I left it. What a disappointment.

I've had lots of Cornish Pasties over many years and I have to say this is the worst I have ever had. The pasties (husband had one too) were only just edible and we probably wouldn't have eaten them if we hadn't been so hungry after a long walk. The insides were mushy and overcooked. The pastry was hard and chewy. They were salty too. They were also folded over in a different way to normal. There was alot of pastry and less filling than you would expect.

Best pasties I've had in years of visiting Cornwall. Ww bought ours from Ann's shop in the square in The Lizard where there is loads of parking on the grass, and then drove down to Kynance Cove to eat them. Turned a gloomy and rainy day around.

Very high fat content, lots of salt and tasted like sugar in it. Pastry crisp and hard on the outside but everything soggy inside. Filling 10% meat in lumps. Swede and pepper at one end. No crimping but folded over somehow. Going to Philps on Friday for my favourite.

I’m not coming back. The veg is grey since it’s frozen & meat tasted gamy. The quality has gone down hill & taste seemed to vary from pastie to pastie & from day to day. Staff is rude at the new cafe at the Square, Lizard. Staff keep touching their masks with their hands and straight after it touch the food without any sanitisation. Not very hygienic. Staff kept saying to us only they are closed but door is open and customers are served prior to & post us. One day the cafeteria / shop was open & they prevented us from entering when the doors were open, there was no sign saying we are closed now, we had masks on, sanitised our hands and checked in via NHS app. We were disappointed as we had walked for 3 hours on the coastal path to get to our destination and to buy a takeaway pastie + drinks each. The funny thing is that they claimed to be closed but they allowed other people in the shop post us who even did sit down. We have been buying Ann’s pasties twice a year when we are in Cornwall but we are not coming back anymore.

We ordered our pasties to be sure of getting our hands on one of these delicious pastries. We had beef pasties and took them to the green in the village to enjoy them. Delicious and tasty, flaky pastry and delicious filling, meaty with plenty of veg and gravy so not at all dry like some pasties can be. The smell as you approach the counter is wonderful, didn’t disappoint on eating. Yum.

I ordered a large steak pastie costing £5 and a medium cheese and veg at £3.85. We heated them up later for our dinner and although delicious we were really disappointed that they were both steak so never got to try the cheese one? Just as well I wasn't a vegetarian!

Don’t bother walking to this shop, did it three times on three consecutive mornings and shop always closed, locked up. Customer service very poor.

We have visited Ann's on many an occasion whilst walking the coastal path. We so look forward to this treat we plan our walks to ensure we have an appropriate lunch stop. The pasty never disappoints, always a treat worth the walk. Hubby is not a pasty fan, so it is a real recommendation to say he only eats pasties from Ann's.

Not a lot to say. Anne's pastys have been here for many years and throughout that time the high quality has not been altered Probably the best in Cornwall. Best eaten hot on a seat overlooking the seaIf you have not been before you will not be disappointed

You need to get in quick because they are all gone by 1 o'clock. Great pasties - I have just had a Medium Cheese - with a good flavour filling.

Can highly recommend this place to eat. Best pasty I have ever had,full of meat and vegetables tried to buy one day but queue was so long waited till next day. Went twice on a four day visit to lizard they are that good !!!!!!

Proper local pasty, cooked fresh and still warm, Plenty of filling and a choice of styles. You really know you are in Cormwall!

Theres just no pleasing some people. Ann's pasties are simply the best cornish pasties you can buy. There's something rustic and homemade about them. Not the usual mass produced pasties available everywhere. Nom nom nom. Nice thick chewey, flakey shortcrust pastry. Packed with potato, swede and mine had plenty of meat. If you want boring mass produced pasties go somewhere else. If you want a home cooked one go to Ann's.

The best pasty I have tried, they have vegan and vegetarian options too. Great got lunchtime or as a snack.

Best pasties in Cornwall! We even order them at home now and pop them in the freezer to save us the 6 hour trip- it would even be worth it if they didn’t!

Ann’s pasties are a favourite with my family and always make sure we have them more than once whilst visiting Cornwall. Will definitely be back again!

Pasties of wonder! Simply the best Cornish pasty I've ever had (and I've eaten plenty!). Worth the drive from Bristol and lovely friendly staff.

Having seen reviews on TA decided to seek out the ‘yellow house’ when we visited. Joined the ‘socially distanced’ queue to get our pastie (come in various sizes and the large is BIG)! then trotted down to the lighthouse, warm pastie in hand for our picnic lunch. We were not disappointed, pastry was just right and filling was flavoursome. Rock bun finished lunch off a treat.Can recommend.

According to my family these are the best pasties in Cornwall. They tested this daily. Have to buy early in the day as she does sell out.

Whenever we are in The LIzard we make a beeline for Anns Pasties because they were amazing BUT after sending for 10 at £45 we were very disappointed. The pastry and veg was great but the 4 miniscule cubes of meat was tough and we threw the meat away, good job there were only 4 pieces. Will not purchase again.

Anne’s pasties are the best proper Cornish pasties lovely meaty and thick crusty pastry good value for money

I recently 'trawled' through many 'Cornish pasty sites' looking for a genuine home-made pasty - by post. Ann's Pasties ticked ALL the boxes! I love her packaging and especially the 'history' behind her skills..there is nothing like a recipe 'handed-down' from your elders! My dear Uncle (the lucky recipient) who has been isolated since March - was both delighted and amazed with his 'birthday' gift of 2 large 'beasts' - all the way to Leicester. I am amazed by the fabulous service - so much so - I have ordered again for my son in Leeds!...by the way...I am from Devon - and have no argument over "who makes the best pasty?"..the answers right here!

Absolutely amazing can’t fault a thing!Quality of product amazing delivery right on time!Thank you so much taste just as good as they did when we visited the shop in Lizard Cornwall.Love the from wright family in Thorne, Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Your pasties are the absolute best! Amazing birthday present for my partner. Xxx

We always go here when on our holidays and I saw they did a gift service - so I had to pasties delivered for his birthday. Wow - tasty as expected and excellent delivery and service. Highly recommend! Thank you 😊

A delicious late lunch that we’d earned after a bracing walk to Kynance Cove and back! I think we had the last 2 meat and potato pasties available that day and they were as good as ever.

Delicious - perfect pastry and by far the best pasty we've ever eaten. We enjoyed eating them on the coast path overlooking the sea in a gloriously sunny March day.

After our stay at the hotel stopped off here to buy pasties to take home. Had a couple last night and they are superb

I ordered 2 gift pasties for my Dad who is a born and bred Cornishman for his birthday. He now lives in Yorkshire and at 84 will no longer be able to get back to his beloved homeland. The service they offer is fantastic, delivered on time and beautifully boxed and smelt fabulous. They didn’t disappoint in taste, absolutely amazing, and just how he likes them. Proper job! Be assured I will now be ordering a bumper lot for their freezer! Thank you so much, highly recommend and I’ll be spreading the word. Don’t think about it order yours today......excellent.

Fantastic to get the best Cornish pasties delivered to our home in Yorkshire ,8 steak and 2 cheese and veg ,brilliant traceable postal service ,just ate the 2 cheese ones and the rest are in the freezer ready to nosh over the next few weeks . A real luxury to be able to have them more than twice a year when we visit Cornwall (as I refuse to eat any "Cornish"pasty made outside of Cornwall or big companies that make them in bulk ,yuk ,too disappointing ) would thoroughly recommend this postal service if you can't get to Ann's shops personally

My husband and I have been coming to Cornwall for years and visit Ann’s pasties as many times as we can each holiday. We weren’t as impressed as usual this summer, they were a little smaller than normal and with not quite as much meat but still some of the better ones you will find around.

Heard of ann's pasties great reputation and we were'nt let down! Had a traditonal steak pasty and my girlfriend had the cheese and vegetable. Both delicious. A must go to!

I love the pastry, the flavour and everything about these pasties. If you are over that way, buy and try; you will not be disappointed.

I thought the pasty was really good with excellent soft pastry. I don’t understand the meat content argument as there was sufficient to satisfy me and it was really tasty. Obviously a business but a home made feel to it

Good pasty and very tasty but disappointed by only having 1 perhaps 2 bits of meat in there considering the size! Feeling the pinch?

These are excellent pasties ( meat, cheese or vegetarian) and made with local fresh products. The shop is surronded by farms. Higly recommended it.

Definitely worth a visit to try a pasty. They are delicious! Don’t leave it too late in the day though, they close once they’ve sold out, we had to go back the following day after a disappointing end to our first trip, thankfully we weren’t staying far away!

I had a few pasties while in Cornwall and this was the best one I had.

Without a doubt the best pastry I have ever tasted in a pasty. Crisp on the bottom and full of flavour. Let down by the filling as there was a tonne of veg and virtually no meat.

First time eating Anne’s Pasties and we weren’t disappointed. They were huge and we only had a medium each. The pastry was delicious - crispy and flaky, not at all stodgy. I had a cheese pasty which was just yummy. The husband and boys had steak pasties which they raved about. I fear we’ll be back again before our week is out - my poor waistline!

Fabulous food and for sure worth every penny - if you are in the area hunt Anns pasties out, it was an amazing local food that we wished we could have at home :)

We come to Ann's pasties every time we visit the lizard. Have done for years. Always excellent. Today however overcooked pasty with a long hair in it. Took it back got a refund. To be fair I will be back next year the food has always been good here.

I had heard great things about Ann's pasties and was very excited to try one of her legendary pasties!! The pastry was INCREDIBLE and it tasted great. I would however echo some of the other reviews and it did need more meat to be a perfect pasty!

Nice spot to pick a good pasty toghetter with the locals. You can eat it outside on the playground with an amazing sight. (if not raining ;-))

Simply amazing home cooked Pasties. I really enjoyed these and would recommend trying them. No other pasty will taste as good afterwards!

Me and my boyfriend went here because we heard good things! Unfortunately they were all out but had some pasties left over from the day before, they were delish! We had a cheese and meat one and shared them! Will be back again!

We have called here before and enjoyed the pasties this time we bought part baked and they were almost all potato with no seasoning in very disappointing

If you’re visiting Cornwall, you must visit Ann’s Pasties. We originally found her at The Lizard, Cornwall. But after exploring other parts of Cornwall we realised that Ann’s amazing Pasties are available across other places too. The pastry is like nothing you’ve tasted before, the filling is of great quality and she uses locally sourced ingredients. My 13 year old son is very fussy when it comes to meat and Ann made him a custom pasty, using ingredients from the butcher across the road from her. Great value, one pasty is huge and enough for a meal. Thanks Ann for always making our visits to The Lizard a bit tastier.

Had a few pasty’s on our little trip to Cornwall and Ann’s was by far the best! Scrummy filling perfect pastry and the cutest little setting in a converted garage! 100% a must go if you’re looking for the perfect Cornish pasty!!!

They had fresh hot pasties available when we walked up around 11am, price was reasonable considering the big size of s medium pastie. Definitely the best pastie I have ever had, took it to go for our walk to the beach!

The kids really loved the fish pond outside. We all had a pasty each which were lovely (between us a cheese, vegetarian and steak). We've been before so knew how nice they were and pleased that kids enjoyed them. They were just a bit pricey.

Highlight of our tour from Falmouth to Lizard, Helston, Gweek. Lovely cake and cuppa at Gweek boat yard cafe too.

I went for a traditional pasty. Unfortunately it was only the last couple of mouthfuls that had any meat at all. I was starting to think I had the vegan pasty. Even then it was very little meat. The size was good at least and I may have have just been unlucky.

On our holiday in Cornwall we wanted to try 1 authentic Cornish pasty, but we should have tried somewhere else. Both the meaty and the cheesy pasty were 90% the same plain veg. The meaty one just had a tiny bit of meat, and the cheesy one had hardly any cheese.

Delicious intro to Cornish Pasties, we had a veg and a cheese pasty. The crust was incredible, take away only, highly recommended Worth traveling all the way from Dubai for

Ordered two pasties from here. Pretty average to be fair, there are much better pasties on offer throughout Cornwall. Still, when on The Lizard I guess you need to try Ann’s.

These are excellent pasties, well worth travelling to buy, or even getting them posted.

Always get pasties from Ann's, they are delicious. I can't visit the Lizard and leave without Ann's pasty. Not good for the waistline but when in Cornwall....

In lizard looking for a good traditional pastie shop and we found that in Ann’s pasties it’s set back off the beaten track but it’s worth a go. Well worth the money great little find recommend it 👍👍

Be careful,where you buy. Best from Lizard straight from oven, less good in Helston and not v. good from recent Mullion outlet Shame, as for years we thought these were the best on the Lizard. Indifferent content distribution and some condiment irregularities.

I'd heard Good reviews for anns pasties so I was disappointed when I tried one it had a nice flavour but lacking in beef it was almost vegetarian.I would guess no more than 5% beef.

Bought 4 pasties in total. 2 steak and 2 vegan. Ate the vegan ones straight away and they were really nice. Wholemeal flour pastry was lovely. Will buy some more by mail order

Lovey experience, great service from Ann! Best tasting pasties around. Regards from Sheffield and Malta!
