Pengenna Pasties in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Best Pasties in St Ives!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 The team serving us was very friendly and happy, which made us feel comfortable and at ease to ask questions, get advice and select the pastie best suited for our taste! The pastie is massive! The only meal you will need for the day!!! and this also makes the price point very very competitive against the other shops in St Ives! Go treat yourself, get a Pastie!

The best pasties I’ve ever tasted!! And the warmest, kindest customer service. I was talking to the baker about my late Nans recipe for cheese straws and he put one in with my pasties as a kindness….. it made me cry! What an amazing guy!!! Best pasties in Cornwall!

A regular stop when down this way, great staff and I highly recommend both the cheese straws and the good old traditional pasty!

Very disappointed. “Steak” pasty had a few bits of meat, lot of onion and potato and over seasoned. Veg pasty full of different veggies but under seasoned.

Have no idea how this place can get a 4 star! We should have trusted the bad reviews! The pasties were really horrible. Dry and tasteless! We threw them away without finishing

Really enjoyed the vegetarian pasty from here! Good selection and friendly staff. Was good to see them make the pasties while waiting.

Delicious steak & Stilton and lamb and mint pasties. Absolutely massive for £5.50 a piece!

Avoid this place. My gluten free pasty and my friends non gluten free pasty were both disgusting. No flavour and the meat was chewy and bland. Pastry didn’t taste cooked and was raw in places. A waste of £5.50. Really disappointed.

Not enough meat in the pasties. It's a shame because you can see they are fresh with the bakers making them in front of customers and they have a good assortment, but when we bit into them, especially the traditional pastie it was mostly filled with onion and potato, I think we found around five small pieces of meat in the end. The steak and Stilton was a bit nicer, but at first we were unsure which was which flavourwise.

Pasties delicious as always, also super friendly team.

Incredibly rude server. Unfriendly attitude and forgot very simple order. Food good but very discourteous so would absolutely recommend avoiding.

Went today with my boyfriend (who remembered this bakery from st Ives some 16 years ago he thinks roughly and wanted to go back) we had a Cornish pasty each and he got a gingerbread man and I got some Cornish shortbread. All the food was stunning, the shortbread melted in my mouth and was so good I had to go back and buy more. I spoke to a lovely guy behind the counter who was very friendly and informative with the questions we asked him. We were asking if they delivered etc . I told him I’d leave a review as I know how hard it is to get them from customers working in the food industry ourselves (me and my boyfriend) but credit where credit is due the food and service is spot on , we will return every time we come to visit st Ives such a beautiful place .

Tired staff who were a little disinterested. Tasty otherwise.

Had the veg pastie and it was so bland, tasted like boiled vegetables with no flavour

Very tasty pastries, you can watch them being made outside the window. Particularly delicious Steak & Stilton

I’ve been visiting this shop for over 10 years I love there veggies & vegan pasties - all other pasties from elsewhere just aren’t in the same league This is where King Charles 3rd got his pasties from when he visited St Ives ….what’s good enough for royalty is good enough for me 😉

My usual spot St Ives Bakery had run out so gave this a go based on reviews. It was big but dry and bland af. Bad hygiene the guy had gloves on using his phone and stuff before grabbing my pasty. Go to St Ives Bakery.

The choice is yours but the pasties here are my favourite, delivered, good value and honest

Delicious steak & cheddar pasty enjoyed looking out over sunny St Ives.... perfect lunch 😋

The pasties were really big which was a plus, but the taste, we actually couldn't finish as it was just so bland and dry. I had the mixed veg, and bf had the steak and cheddar. Heard really good reviews so decided to try it out but super disappointed. You couldn't see what the pasties were really gonna come out like as there is like two random ones on display, and then all the rest are put away. Just honestly wouldn't reccomend for a proper pasty.

I love pasties. I only eat them when I am in Cornwall. However, even then, I am disappointed when I get them from establishments where I can't see them being baked. Here, I can see them being prepared and baked. Lovely. Towards the end of the day they appear to keep the pasties in an oven that keeps them spot on. Large traditional pastie from Pengenna with a can/bottle of Cornish cider sitting near the sea front! Happy days.

Excellent pasties and cheese straws perfect quantities of ingredient’s producing perfect products

Lovely pasty! Not a massive fan of pasty’s but I would highly recommend these. More like a meal

Pasties were gorgeous! Light and fluffy cheese straws too. 😋

Recently visited Pengenna and found their steak pasties to be the genuine article. They definitely make a traditional pasty in every sense: the crust was thick, patterned and flaky, encasing a generous filling of high-quality chunky steak, potatoes, onions and peas...and they're big! Was served by Peter, who clearly takes pride in his pasty making and his enthusiasm made the experience an easy five stars.

Been visiting this pasty shop for year's with my family on holiday, always the only pasty shop we went to until our last holiday. We went into the shop and we felt like we were intruders, such a rude girl on her i pad sat at the back talking to another member of staff on a stool. Had zero customer service with a bad attitude, we walked straight out again and went to a nearby pasty shop to purchase our four pasties and pastries! Never to return again! Good luck with your future business, your going to need it with this girl serving your customers.

Being over 60, I've had a few pasties! I'm not a lover of pastry, more the filling but the beef and stilton was the best I've eaten. The filling was full of decent beef and not grisly. The stilton was not overpowering. Usually, the Cornish pasties seem to have half a salt cellar added but these had just enough to make the ingredients be tasted instead of drowned out.

Not had a pasty like it before. Some gluten free options were also a great touch

The short bread and vegan apple turn overs are delightful. Always enjoy the different displays they make of pasties in the window!

Was on a holiday from York and stumbled across this amazing shop the guy who served us was amazing and so friendly also been to York when he was little he told us. Now the pasties are massive for 5.50 freshly baked we got 4 and are just outstanding we even taking 2 back home

Huge! V large mint and lamb pasty that doubled as lunch and dinner. Filling pasties that upheld the Cornish quality. Nice staff

Can’t speak for their Pasties but they get my prize for the rudest, most discourteous female member of staff we’ve ever met!

Wow great pasties in our motorhome at Polmanter but I had the undivided attention of your greatest fan lol

So looking forward to trying out there traditional steak pastie as I was told how fantastic there are. Staff friendly and can see them beening made in shop. Unfortunately was disappointed 😞. Mostly Potato 🥔, chopped onion 🌰 and very little steak & swede. This made the pastie watery inside 😟.

Was good to see them being made on the premises and they were packed full and tasty unfortunately the one my wife ate had a large piece of bone in so beware plus the bags they are put in are plastic lined not good for the environment or wild life when discarded irresponsibly

I think you get a really full tasty pasty here my large steak one was so full of meat and veg and really nice thin tasty pastry I always come to this branch in st Ives or the one in bude if I’m there they are the best I’ve had

Tasty fresh pasties. Stuffed full.

The vegetable pasties are the best in the country - lovely flaky pastry and filled with potato and vegetables, the large ones are huge too, eat half and put half by for later. The heavy cake (or hevva cake as we were brought up calling it) is out of this world, delicious texture, full of fruit and absolutely amazing - the best I have had in years.

Amazing authentic Cornish pasties and great customer service

The best pasties I've ever eaten, great value for money lots of filling & full of flavour, will definitely visit again when visiting St Ives in Cornwall, kind friendly & professional staff, will definitely reccomend & keep up the fantastic work you do 👍🏼⭐️

This lot have just ruined Ginsters pasties for me! A true Cornish pasty made in front of your eyes, but make sure you also try their Cornish Heavy Cake. Heaven!!

Bakery where I knew I would find vegan options and so I did. Many handcrafted products. I went by on a Thursday around 11am and I didn't find a queue and I was able to appreciate the shop and the freshly baked products. I purchased two hot pasties and two scones. All very good and I appreciated the filling of the Pasties with lots of vegetables and legumes, not very seasoned, in some ways, better. Naturally good. They are very large, even one in two would be enough. The best vegan scones I've ever eaten, I regret not getting more. I hope to come back soon. Highly recommend.

Best pasties ever always go there keep up the great work you do

Seen this place was highly rated online so thought I'd give a veggie pasties a try....the BIGGEST one I've ever had, weighed about half a lbs :o So your definitely getting your moneys worth BUT as there is SO much filling it wasn't that warm :( Note: the seguals are SO bad at St Ives so don't eat it on the front, they like to pinch people's food.

Great Cornish pasty from a proper Cornish bakery 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

We tried a couple of highly-rated pasties while in St. Ives and Pengenna pasties were definitely the best we've had anywhere in Cornwall! Absolutely fantastic and everything a pasty should be.

Ok but I have definitely had tastier

The Pasties are a 5 star product ,however couldn't order on their Internet site,so rang St.Ives shop the chap there said that the site was so unreliable, so I said I will order from him at the shop,but said i couldnt do that. So with that I said how can I get 12 pasties ,he said come down here for them !. Cheers mate I'm in Wakefield

By far the best Cornish pasties, freshly made, very large, one pasty is enough for 2 people, very nice staff

Verdict amongst family and friends is this is the best pasty and cake shop in St. Ives. Homemade, tasty, authentic, friendly. I'm a sell out who prefers a more widely known westcountry pasty brand but I'm strongly out voted on this.

Best pastry we've ever tasted. Tried other well known Cornish brands. This is the best for pastry, filling and the top crimping. Their cream teas are also wonderful too!

The best bakery in st ives. All home made fresh on the premises. Beautiful scones, pasties and my favourite cheese straws. Highly recommended.

Good size for a large. Interesting crimping too. Pasties were colder than expected though!

"ehhhhhh course"-Steven Gerrard

Delicious filling but pastry (thin - contents spewing) and general *hotness* of the food were not up to their standard i believe. All the same, we were hungry, so they went down.

Delicious vegetable and cheese & onion pasties. Really generous portion too. Great value for money. Would highly recommend.

Best Cornish Pasty in St Ives!!! And trust me, I’ve tried the lot!

First time returning as a vegan but their vegan pasty didn't disappoint. Like the broad beans used in it. Historically I've had the delicious steak but my favourite is lamb and mint. Very friendly clean and good size pasties for the price and they take pre-orders and postal orders. Will see what my brother's dog makes of her pastie biscuit which they sell!

Nicely flavoured traditional pasty, but nowhere near enough meat. Which was a shame as was really looking forward to it.

Simply amazing customer service, Graham the store manager is a wealth of knowledge and his customer service is unlike I have ever met before. Nothing is too much trouble. 5*

I had the opportunity to try their vegetable pastries and was very impressed. A perfect balance of flavours, with an impressive weight to the pastries.

Went in the shop yesterday with my family and the way I was treated by the girl behind the counter was appalling. Pasty was huge but lacked flavour. Never again

The pasty was actually very nice however I have never been so disgusted with customer service. The girl that served me was scrolling through her phone when I first walked into the shop. She was not only rude to me by rolling her eyes when I asked her a question, my friend who followed me into the shop had to walk out because of how rude she was to him over a confusion in the order THAT WAS HER FAULT. Disgusting behaviour clearly not a tourist friendly establishment

Very tasty pasties at a good price. The shop was empty when I visited, so I got served right away. The staff member was very friendly and helpful, as I asked about their massive pasties. The store is clean and tidy. They have a good range of pasties, soft drinks and a cake selection.

Real traditional pasty shop. Great service staff friendly. Parties are exceptionally nice, I had a Steak and Stilton Pasty and my wife had a traditional pasty both excellent really tasty and packed full of meat and vegetables.

So much better than the pasties we can buy in a supermarket!!

I bought a gluten-free Cornish pastie here. It was the worst pastie I have tasted. The meat (what there was of it) I wouldn’t give my dog. It was in fact inedible. My husband had a normal pastie, he was able to eat it but the quality again was very poor. I would not recommend this shop.

Good pasties are well filled. The white and pink doughnuts are very good with a little surprise running through them.

The sausage roll was one of the best we’ve ever had! We also got the cheese & onion and vegetable pasties. They were really fresh and very chunky with good filling. I’d have liked the veggie to be slightly more flavourful. But all in all, really good place for typical Cornish pasties!

Love the tasty filling, generous portions and reasonable price.

Had a traditional steak - could barely find any steak and the meat quality was poor.

Tasty cornish traditional pasties & other baked goods at a reasonable price

Bought a steak and stilton pasty from here today, member of staff was friendly, and pasty was well filled, I enjoyed it.

For me it is the best 👌 pastie shop in St ives just lov um

This is a little gem at St Ives! The scone is so delicious and so fresh! The price is also super reasonable. Must be a place locals went.

Bland The meat version had little or no seasoning and my partner was very disappointed with it. The cheese and onion wasn't terrible but I there's much better options available in a supermarket at less than half the price.

Very poor service in a deserted shop this morning Tall grumpy girl could not be bothered to explain product range or indeed pass the bagged pasties thru the covid screen Screen and noisy fan made it difficult to hear her I wont be back

There was a huge queue outside this place when we walked past around lunchtime so felt compelled to have to sample the food……and when we returned later in the day - the staff were very friendly and chatty and the food is all made fresh on the day. They have some good options and the pasties are huge!!! Very very tasty indeed! We ordered the Lamb & Mint which was delicious (probably could have done with a little less pepper) but overall contents were filling and pastry and crust were more-ish!!! Would definitely eat here again when we next visit!

Poor quality Cornish pasty. Little seasoning, hardly any swede and steak chewy and gristly. We both discarded ours and went straight to the Cornish Bakehouse.

Absolutely fantastic food. The best Pasty I’ve ever had, and I’m not sure if I should be proud to say I’ve had a few. Highly recommend

Two meals in one! The lamb and mint was warm, tasty and comforting in the cold.

Best Cornish pasties maker ever. Love it.

Full to the brim with succulent, tender filling. Lie down needed after. Superb

Does not get much more traditional than the cornish pasties we enjoyed from Pengenna, simply perfect... can't wait to come back on our holidays for another one!!

Disappointed. However can start with the positive that the pasty was very nice and it was warm. Between 3 of us tried Traditional, Lamb & Mint and Steak & Stilton. (T)Tasteless and Low quality ingredients. (L&M) No mint taste and chewy meat. (S&S) Stilton had an overpowering sickly taste. Overall every one lacked seasoning and felt some of the filling was undercooked. Leaves me to wonder what the other reviewers are comparing there pasty to. Shame as was looking forward to it!

Pasties and scones. Delicious :) Apparently Pengenna do pasties by post

Cornish pasties so big you’d be able to kill a man if you threw it at him. Oh and they’re bloomin’ tasty and very fresh too!

Had a friend pick some up whilst on holiday, absolutely 💯%. Only problem is can't eat it in one go !

Best pasties in Cornwall! Delicious flavour and blooming huge! Make a beeline for them every year we visit.

Had heard that this was the best place for a typical Cornish Pasty. We bought one traditional steak, one lamb & mint, one veg and one cheese onion. None of us could finish. No taste. The meat pieces were large and chewy. Would not recommend anyone.

The best Cornish Pasties ever. Succulent, juicy with a soft but flavoursome breading is definitely not to be missed. Great as gifts. Comes in many flavours and the large size traditional pasties is enough to share for 2. Good service from man in glasses.

Most amazing sausage rolls I've ever tasted 😋

Amazing pasties lots of variety and really big & filling really good value for money

Don't go anywhere else, here is the best for pasties. They are the real pasty pros at Pengenna. You can also see them making them fresh in front of you all day. Quality ingredients, cooked fresh, great helping too

Great little pasty shop close to the parish church. Good choice of pasties, from traditional steak to cheese and onion. They also do a vegan one. Opted for the vegetable pasty, it was huge, very filling and crammed with peas, broad beans, carrots, swedes, sweetcorn, onions and courgettes. Lovely pastry and piping hot. You can also get soft drinks here. Quick service and a friendly shopkeeper who gave me helpful directions to a quiet spot where I could eat it. I highly recommend!

Very nice cornish pies very filling

One of my favourite I've eaten so far. The base is excellent and good filling inside. I have tried the lamb and mint. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. Well done👌

Best stake and Stilton pastie in St Ives...

Bought pasties, soft drinks and cakes for 4 plus a packet of biscuits for the person looking after our cat; £42.50 seemed very expensive for what it was. The cakes were very nice. The pasties were ok, not the best we’ve had in Cornwall. Probably wouldn’t use again.

Pasty shop that cook everything fresh. Wasn't overly fussed with the pasty and it's taste. The price was a bit steep, too.
