Malcolm Barnecutt in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We stopped here on a wet Sunday morning for coffee and cake. First irritation - very strange way of queuing to place an order, even though we were not having hot food. We waited almost 30 minutes to receive our order, which was partially incorrect and had to be replaced. The coffee was pretty awful but the cakes were quite nice. So, this will not be a coffee stop again. It's a shame as some of the food looked really nice - just let down by poor service.

This about the new restaurant up by Tesco which opened a couple of months ago. All good except the price of flat white coffee at £3.55 which is crazy Qiuiche £5.35 which I though was better than the medium pasty at £ 4.65. Plenty of parking but only 2 disabled slots. Nice views

Sitting on their sun terrace at the bakery and cafe venue near Tesco Wadebridge. Had the sausage and bacon bap and the sausage bap and they were delicious. Great pricing structure and a great venue for a chill out . Thoroughly recommend this place open 7:30 to 4:30.

Frozen pasties purchase. There seems.to be less and less meat in Barnecutts pasties every time I buy them. I'm thinking of getting all my pasties In future from Anne's or Cornish pod pasties. Proper job.

We brought two Chicken Pasty’s for lunch , although nice it was hunt the chicken . We did find one piece in each pasty HOORAY. With the lack of chicken we should have paid a pound.!!!!!!!

We were here for a day and did a google for somewhere to buy a pasty. The first time I went in to buy one I was put off by the size.A large pasty would be a small to medium where I come from .I make them myself the size of a plate. Staff were pleasant and I bought 2 coffees which we enjoyed sat at their outside table. we had a wander around the centre of wadebridge,a beautiful town well worth a visit I gave in later and bought a small steak pasty £2.50 .It was alright is the best I can say. The pastry was ok but the contents were mostly veg with the odd minute piece of meat .Not sure if it was steak,I'll take their word for it. Tasty and slightly peppery and I was searching for a rennie later that evening. Would't recommend nor will I go out of the way to buy again. Good for the tourists though. Overrrated.

Excellent coffee, custard doughnut and cheese salad rolls. Wide selection of cakes and sandwiches. Wish they were in Derbyshire.

I visited Wadebridge this week after many years, I grew up in the area, went to school there and my aunt even worked for Barney’s back in the 70’s. I now live in west Cornwall (didn’t go far!) I thought it would be nice to take home a Barnecutts tea treat bun. The staff were very friendly and pleasant, definitely above your average shop staff. But this is where my great nostalgic experience ended sadly. The saffron tea treat bun was a huge disappointment. The traditional saffron tea treat bun was something of substance with plenty of fruit, a soft but textured body, and a definite taste of saffron. Not Nutmeg!! Examination of the ingredients list shows the saffron content to be a magnificent 0.02% and did indeed confirm it contained nutmeg, presumably to compensate for the distinct lack of fruit and flavour. Bland, tasteless and very sad to see that a Cornish tea time favourite has been desecrated in this way. What a shame.

After taking the challenge of having 1 pasty a day during our Cornwall holiday and inevitably sampling pasties from multiple bakeries (which had to supply gluten free options in order to be eligible), the family decided that the traditional pasties from Malcolm Barnecut were consistently at the top of the leaderboard (regular & GF pasties). They offer both freshly baked pasties (have to wait 1.5hrs though for gluten free - so plan ahead), or you can take frozen pasties home to bake in your oven (we tried both options & both were equally as good). Fantastic tasting pasties! 🤤

I visited here after asking locals for recommendations. I ordered a sausage roll and a Cornish Pasty. The sausage roll was flaky and delicious. The Cornish pasty was perfectly seasoned, packed with filling and was phenomenal.

Friendly service and phenomenal food. Genuinely believe they could be the best pasties in Cornwall. Loved it!

Popped in for a loaf of bread last Saturday, excellent service and very friendly, particularly from a young man( teenager ). Good job Barney’s. Great bread and lovely polite staff!

Stopped off in Wadebridge to pick up pasties to eat on the beach. Couldn’t have chosen better. Can’t speak for the beef ones, but the vegetable and cheese and onion pasties were excellent. Firm, light, crisp pastry and generous, well seasoned fillings. We ate them on sitting on a rock, looking out to sea. Could not improve on location or lunch.

I see there are not many reviews for Wadebridge. The steak pasty was very disappointing. It was full of potatoes and veg and I counted only 9 very small pieces of meat. I am sure I will find better than this

One of the best pasties we've ever tasted. The staff were extremely helpful, even sorting out an order that was to be collected the next day. Extremely clean shop and an amazing selection of food.

Stock up on pasties, sausage rolls, cakes and all that great holiday stuff, for the beach and you won't go wrong. Best Bakers in town

picked up some cakes here for our journey, they were delicious and the staff were very helpful, convenient location

As I said, always excellent pasties, served up in my most recent visit piping hot! Super range of treats too, I can thoroughly recommend the New Zealand slice I think it was called. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Proper job!

One taste from any of the huge range of baked goods offered by Malcolm Barnecutt and you’re unlikely to go back to buying supermarket breads, savoury slices and cakes. Famous throughout north Cornwall for their superb traditional Pasties, Barnecutts’ wide range of breads - including special dietary versions on set days each week - is excellent. They have a taste, consistency and delicacy all of their own and at reasonable prices. If you are visiting Wadebridge, please be aware that the town benefits by having two “Malcolm Barnecutts” shops: the main shop is on Molesworth Street, the slightly smaller shop is on The Platt. Bread-slicing is only available in the Molesworth Street branch, but this is only a hundred metre walk from shop on The Platt. Everything is baked fresh each day (except Sunday’s as both shops in Wadebridge are closed) and their cakes, scones and croissants are every bit as good. “Barnies” - my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

This is your best place to get a delicious pasty , being Cornish I’ve tried many from all over Cornwall over the years and I can honestly say these are the best I’ve ever tasted , the bakery itself has lots of other delicious things to eat including fresh salad and deli pots from the counter amongst other lovely pastries and cakes, definitely value for money and totally delicious 😋

This is such a great place. The cakes, breads and especially the doughnuts are incredible. Essential for long days at the beach.

Always head to Barnecutts for our pasties whilst on holiday and to take back home with us This year tried the chicken balti pasty WOW WOW WOW WONDERFUL 10 out of 10 Ps The cakes are very good as well

We were in Cornwall for the 40th time and remembered Malcolm Barnecutt's from our last visit. On our way to Padstow, we made a slight detour just to get some of their pasties. We have traveled to almost every seaside village / town in Cornwall and sampled pasties everywhere. Philps in Hayle are excellent, but none compare to Barnecutt's. We have never had better. Superb taste, decent size and price. ,

Now I love Pasties and like to think I'm a bit of a connoisseur in them. These Pasties are lovely and are the best you will find.

We love the way the food is displayed, the pasties are the best. 10 out of 10. The staff are friendly and helpful. Why go anywhere else?

Lovely bakery, with a fantastic choice, particularly loved the apricot crumble slice, you will be spoilt for choice

Never been before but wow the food is great. Pasties were huge. Lots on the menu spoilt for choice. And lots of yummy cakes and bread to takeaway. Can't wait to visit again. This place is very popular.

Over the course of our 2 week holiday we went here every couple of days! The pasty’s are very tasty and the best in the area. The jam donuts are fantastic. Always friendly service - this is a must place to visit in Wadebridge!

Lovely staff, very helpful and a wide selection of everything a quality baker could provide. 5 stars.

Bakery serves the famous Malcolm Barnecutt's pasties, my husband loves the large steak pasty, and I usually go for the cheese and onion one. delicious. Only criticism is they should have more fresh cream cakes for afters.

Bought a few treats here in the afternoon before we left Wadebridge and this bakery didn’t disappoint! Staff were very friendly and food was very tasty for a decent price :) would recommend the rocky road!

Lovely mouthwatering merchandise excellent coffee would highly recommend the cheese and bean pasty is so tasty.

These parties did taste good. They were hot and flavoursome but as we bought a few for a greedy final pasty party on the long drive back to Brighton, I found some had much more meat than others. The meaty ones were a 5* the ones without more of a 3.5*. Also bought some frozen so I’ll review those in about 30 seconds when my pasty withdrawals kick in!

want a pasty a real cornish pasty, then look no further, nice short pastry and stuffed full of goodness

Fantastic pastries and bread. Would always grab a load before heading off to beach for the day. My kids love the ginger bread men. I think they have the best jam doughnuts I have ever tasted....

Great pasty’s, do love a cheese & bean. Lots of pastry options to, there muffins and donuts are awesome. Great spot to pick up some crib if working near by, but it will be busy.

Whilst visiting Wadebridge we were tempted to try the pasties at this bakery. There was a great choice of fillings and we decided to have the steak. Wow. They were great. The hot drinks were good too. Very friendly staff.

Looked around and everyone seemed to have a Pasty from Barnecutt’s in their hand, so we figured they must be good - and they were! Actually I think it may have been the best pasty I have ever eaten!

Down visiting for the day from Dorzet so had to get a few to take back to ‘mother’. 6 large steak the lovely maid serving put um in a box for me . I know you can get other versions, but in 50yrs I’ve only eaten ‘traditional’, or at a push cheese n onion. Stocked up on a couple of saffron cakes too. Lovely staff and needless to say a great pasty! My fav’ pasty shop in St Austell has long since shut, so since then Barnecutts is my go to place when home.

Simply the best and amazing value for money. We both had a traditional Cornish pasty and we had several during our stay in Cornwall but this was far and away the best

When we get to Cornwall out first port of call is this place , They sell the best pasties in Cornwall , They also sell a good range of fresh sandwiches and artisan bread , if your ever in Wadebridge do call in

I'm a bit of a Pasty expert and have tried more pastys than most. Take it from me guys, these pastys won't disappoint, they're GREAT!

Probably the best commercially made Pasties in North Cornwall. Always fresh, very popular. Has been known to make veggie pasties (if you must.) Definitely no carrots in them though.

Fantastic! Their own not bought in so traditional filling their own and gf pastry almost flakey in texture. Allow an hour for cooking as they freeze them individually wrapped so go in and preorder. They are the best tasting pasty ever!!

What a great bakery. The range is very extensive and everything is superb. The pasties are the best in Wadebridge and the staff are always cheerful and happy to take time to assist you with your purchases. The taste of the breads is far superior to anything you can get in a supermarket and its well worth the few extra pence to get great, fresh and tasty bread from Malcolm Barnecutt.

Had a large steak pasty and cheese and onion pasty today for lunch bloomin yummy! Ladies serving in the shop were very polite too

this is our favorite shop in wadbridge, there food from pasties to butties are the best, also do a nice coffee, just wish they delivered to skegness lol,the staff are nice and friendly too,

Stopped by for some scones and pasties.Delicious cornish and cheese and onion pasties and fruit scones here.

Lovely fresh rolls every morning, changing them every day not to get bored of the same flavours, gluten free fresh bread also.... Better than the rubbish in the shops

Friendly staff serving the highest quality products including the best pasties in Cornwall, tasty delicious offerings

This is a superb bakery. Many of the reviews mention the pasties but all the food at this bakery is excellent. Their doughnuts and egg custard tarts are to die for. Also some of their salads are delicious - particularly the prawns in marie rose sauce. It goes without saying that the bread and rolls are fab. Well worth a visit or 3 if you're in the area! We noticed that there are a few more branches now in the south west which is testament to the quality of food.

lf visiting Wadebridge you must visit this bakery their pasties [ Large steak ] are to die for so good we took a box of them home with us....Friendly and helpful staff

We must share our pleasure in eating these pasties which everyone who has eaten them has raved over them. The...

We visited Cornwall as a family, and were on the hunt for the best pasties we could find. We tried...

Visiting Cornwall for the first time I needed to eat a classic Cornish pasty. We'd been searching for a cafe...

Visitar gente amigos y como es necesario para un hombre estar de Cornwall, en "exile", había que llenar. Siempre un buen servicio y un placer de comer.

Comprar empanadas para el que el congelador sobre una base regular y encontrar lo mejor alrededor. Prefiero el queso y cebolla y mi esposa o bistec o filete de stilton y.

Great pasties and all sorts of treats. Sensible prices. High st location with shops andoutside seating to enjoy your purchases. Barnecutt's are good reliable bakers allover North Cornwall - I like the red and white check wrapping !

The best bakery in Wadebridge Barnecutt's are in many areas of Cornwall and they are always the same, consistence with everything they sell. Fresh bread, rolls, bacon bites, freshly made sandwiches/rolls,cakes,coffee etc all to takeaway.

Just popped in for a cup of tea and couldn't resist a bacon and leek pasty. Absolutely lovely. Tea and pasty were just perfect with us also purchasing a cheese and bean pasty and a egg mayonnaise roll. Would recommend you stopping here for a bite to eat.

lovely ladies in the shop. the pasty was superb. had one warm out of the oven, and saved one for cold the following day on the beach. really great pasty ! in my Top 5!

We live in Cornwall and reckon Barnecutt's are the best pasties in the world. We have sampled them all!

Great to get your daily bread or cakes. If you want breakfast on the go then this is a good stop to make.

Everyone has been to Barnecutt's haven't they?From pasties to cakes, breads to salad bowls and coffee to homemade rolls they have something for everyone.

They have a bit of a monopoly in North Cornwall and don't seem to have that many decent competitors which is a shame because there are areas where I think they really need to up their game.Sadly that appears unlikely given that they have a formula which seems to appeal to a lot of people, [In particular, wealthy visitors] or is it that there is relatively little choice in the areas where they have their shops?I suspect part of their appeal is the sheer variety they offer but that comes at a price. Considering the volumes they must sell, they are on the expensive side, presumably to offset the inevitable waste.I find their bread, [Well, the white sandwich loaf] to be one of the best breads I have ever tasted, but I think £1.75 is unnecessarily expensive. They are making it impossible for families on low income to buy their bread. Accordingly I say the same for their sandwiches. They are delicious, both the bread and the quality and volume of filling.If it were not for their bread and sandwiches I wouldn't shop there and these are the reasons why.I was appalled to watch packets of sandwiches being slung into black bags, by staff, at the end of the day. This was a year or so ago in the Wadebridge, Molesworth street shop. I really hope that pressure has been put on them to stop this terrible waste. I trust that they have now subscribed to a scheme where left overs are given to a charity. If such a scheme has not been available, I do think, that for a company who are so high profile in Cornwall, they should have been instrumental in finding a route from their shops to people in need.My next gripe is that the staff, whilst professional, tend to rush customers to make decisions and they are not particularly helpful with regard to anything other than bog standard requests. The staff may be efficient but the overall impression they give out is both aloof and impatient. [Some bordering on snooty, petulant and surly]If they run out of sliced bread, they are not geared up to slicing bread for you. Again, I have to say, the are a big operation, opening yet more shops all the while, but they won't provide shops with the means to slice a loaf? Does it make the insurance too high?Then there are the cakes. A huge array of them, looking very tempting under those lights. Buy them any later than mid morning and they are dried out. I don't know whether certain types of individual cake are carried over for a second day or more. Sometimes it's difficult to decide if they are stale or just dried out by the lights.My observations over many years apply to the two Wadebridge shops, Bodmin, Rock [A travesty, imo. that the original and excellent Rock bakery was replaced by MB's] and now Newquay.If you want a REALLY good pasty, go to Aunt Avices in St Kew Highway. Can't be beaten. Succulent, meaty pasties, it's an old school independent, not far from Wadebridge, Rock and Bodmin. You can park. You can get fresh slices of sponge cake, wrapped, so not dried out and above all the staff are a delight .... and so helpful. Places like that deserve the loyalty and custom of locals and will show visitors what a "Proper" Cornish establishment can, [and should] be like.

It was recommended by a friend - he was correct. A delicious pasty was had. Treat yourself - you know you want to...

What a delight to find a chain with such high standards the multi seed loaf and there donkey being my favourites highly recommend

Visiting family and going to places not visited in some instances 80 years, and spent a fortune on the wonderful Barnecutts pasties and cakes. If you haven't been to one of these shops you must visit.

I have shopped from Barnecutts Bakeries for years. They were always renowned for good service and good food. I don't know what has happened, but in the last six months things have gone downhill. The pasties are either running in grease or dry (whatever flavour I have tried), the cakes taste stale, and the staff are less and less helpful.. Today, I was in Wadebridge. I thought I would call in to the Molesworth Street branch for some bread. There was not a staff member to be seen. I left and went to the bank, came back and still no staff! I went to Baker Toms in the end. I don't know what has happened, but I think it is quite sad that a mainstay of the town is getting so bad.

Steak pasty is a must unless you are partial to any of the other variations they offer. All looked good quality, freshly baked and value for money but the original steak option was devoured and enjoyed as ever.

Really nice cakes, which are good value too. Would recommend to all. Grab one and go and sit by the river to enjoy.Nice larger cakes and bread too

Amazing food, staff were lovely, not at all too expensive, only issue is the queues are too long!! Would 100% advise to anyone

I think they make the best Pasties in the area, never had one I did not like.Big outfit with stores all around Cornwall.

We have lost count of the number of Cornish Pasties we have eaten and whilst most of them are ok there is only one that stands out above all as the best in the world. The quality of the filling just the right amount of meat vegetables and pepper cooked properly in a really beautiful pastry case add up to perfection. We moved to Cornwall last year after visiting the county for over 50 years and were delighted to find that a new branch had been opened quite near to us in Camborne and have become regular visitors even exporting some to our family in Scotland. Summing up not the cheapest but definitely the best

I love pasties. But finding really good ones is difficult. I stumbled across Barnecutt's by mistake and am so pleased I did. They do a great range of pasties and every single one I tried was absolutely delicious. I live in terror of forgetting the name of the place (I don't live in Cornwall...). And i'm very tempted to start ordering their pasties by post.Not really a restaurant by the way - more of a bakery!

Just the best steak pasties in the world . Been known to eat one then go right back for another one . Holiday in Polzeath is not complete unless we've been for pasties x

We have tried many pasties over the years and have found Barnecutt's to be the best.My personal favourite is the Cheese and Onion where you really can taste the cheese unlike some others.My wife loves all the pasties but her favourite is Steak & Stilton.We always have both in the freezer and often eat out at the Wadebridge shop.when we go there shopping.Their bread is also great although I do prefer to make my own bread but do enjoy an occasional treat of their speciality bread!

At the end of our trips to Cornwall a visit to Barnecutt's to pick up a batch of takeway pasties is a must. Traditional steak, steak and stilton and bacon are excellent options.

Very popular bakers in Wadebridge (and other branches in locations around Cornwall), selling fresh bread, cakes and pasties daily. The pasties were delicious...and huge! Tip: ask for a small if you want a good size one; the Medium was massive! Very good value, packed with meat, and not over-peppered, as some popular brands often are. All baked on the premises, so really fresh.Friendly staff that serve you quickly , so don't be put off by the queues that often go out of the door and into the street!

Bleddy ansome pasties! Great pastry and the right level of pepper. The steak & stilton is a treat (if you don't fancy the larger 'jumbo' steak). Sarnies, pastries, cakes etc also very nice.

Best Pasties around and my kids love the sausage rolls. No visit to Cornwall is complete without a pasty from here.

I visit regulary but i can never decide what to have!! The pasties are to die for, So are the Salad pots what you choose what you would like Paninis and filled rolls. the pastrys,cakes are all amazing esp in the summer its like a patisserie! We always buy our bread from here! (i love being local) The best thing to do is grab a pasty and sit in the local park. The staff are always rushed off their feet but nothing is ever to much trouble they are always welcoming with a huge smile.

Barnecutt's has built an enviable reputation for producing, in my view, the very best pasties I've tasted.

We have been visiting Barnecutts in Wadebridge for many years. Their pasties are the best we've ever tasted (and we've done a lot of market research over the years!), the pastry is always light and crispy and you always get a good distribution of meat and vegetables. We've never been disappointed. Their cakes, biscuits and bread are irresistible too and they make a cracking cup of tea! They do all sorts of other tasty things we've not yet tried such as pizza bases to top yourself, tea cakes, saffron buns, salads...the list is endless. The staff are always lovely, friendly and helpful. Their Facebook page is great too.

One of the two places in Cornwall visited by us that have the best pasties. Also great for bread and other pastries. Highly recommended.

Great bakery the pasty, sausage rolls & sandwiches were delicious in fact so good we went to the St Merryn shop for more the next day. As for the doughnuts they were nicest we'd ever tasted. In fact we're taking a detour on our way home to pick up a picnic for the journey.

There is a huge choice of pasty makers in Cornwall, if you are not sure which one to choose Barnecutt's is one of the beat.

If we are in Wadebridge, a trip to Barnecutts is a must! The pasties are really lovely, although the prices are going up and up - or so it seems! The choice is amazing and the cakes are varied and ever so tasty.

No words to describe other than they do the best pasties in Cornwall. We took a box of 44 pasties home with us back up North!!

Tasty traditional steak pasties and gorgeous pecan pie. Was a very popular busy takeaway shop for food and drinks.

Originally from Cornwall, my family and I make an annual pilgrimage back there each summer. Every year I look forward to my first Barnecutts pasty, and every year they never fail. I've even tried taking some home, but somehow as soon as they are over the Tamar they never taste the same. This year we also bought a pasty from the top rated trip advisor shop in Padstow. It was awful. I really pity the tourists who think this is a good pasty! I'll be sticking to Barnecutts from now on. They're proper Cornish!

good bakery as well as good fish and chips. reasonable price ,central in town good pasties,fresh sandwhiches

great multiseed bread and lots of choice of cakes nowhere to sit but great if you want a takeaway. Bev was really smiley and nice to serve me and was lovely with the kids

Forget Pasty Presto, Pasty Apocalypse or the like. Get to Barnecutts for the best pasties on the North Coast of Cornwall

There are plenty of pastie shop around but in my opinion Malcolms are the best.The staff are always friendly and willing to help,prices are reasonable.
