Philps Bakery in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Haven't been since April and Flakey Steak pasties still as amazing as last time!

Just had vegetable pastie. Occasionally have this , I know they are on the salty side but today it had too much salt . My mouth gone bitter . Is it necessary to have high amounts of salt ?

We visited this place for the first time, and after expecting a lot from it, we were quite disappointed after we tried their famous pasty. Everything inside was very commercial, as were the pasties. The taste was very bland, and there wasn't much meat inside either. We also tried the cake, which was elephant's foot, very bland and dry. We will not be returning for sure unfortunately. #travelwithtentbox

Upon arrival at the Hayle bakery there was plenty of free parking available. We tried a flaky steak pasty and a steak & cheese pasty along with a cream tea supplied in a box to have for dinner later on in the evening. The service was friendly, helpful and efficient. We reheated the pasties in the oven as per the instructions supplied and they were delicious as was the cream tea. We would recommend.

Dropped to 3 stars, We have been here a number of different times and more recently have been a little disappointed. Although the pasties are good, some of the best, the menu availability has been very limited. Sizes or flavours have been limited! Come on guys ypu use to be brill!

Best pasty ever had. No gaps between pastry and filling. Very tasty and good price

Shocking customer service rather do there cleaning duties rather serving the customer wanted a box of pasties to take home with me just basically was brushed off no hot pasties on display walked back out . This was 3 pm not 6pm

Always stop in when near. The large steak pasty is my personal favourite. Sausage rolls are great too!

Great tasting pie but lacked enough meat today. Had one the other day with mince beef and it was full of meat, brilliant. Still the best tasting pasty by far though compared to all others we have had on this holiday.

Chocolate fudge brownie Rhubarb and Strawberry crumble slice absolutely delicious. Came back next day, meat pasty and sausage roll,followed by banana and chocolate muffins, they were heaven,so moist,lush

Accidentally found this spot because the restaurant I was meaning to eat at was closed. What a lovely surprise it was! I think we tried pretty much every pastry option (whoops), donuts, apple turnover, and the quiche!! Everything was delicious. The quiche, meat pie and big pig were my favorites. Definitely pop in if you’re in town.

What a place to go to a Cornish pasty shop with parking. This place is an amazing shop offering wonderfull baked goods. I got the traditional Cornish pasty that was huge and baked to perfection, and upon opening it, I found it was bursting with filling absolutely gorgeous and wonderfully cooked. I also got a steak and cheese pasty with lovely, large cooked steak filling. As a chap from London, I have got used to what we call a pasty, so if you are ever in this neck of the woods, bag yourself one of these. The shop is very popular and very busy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Warning cake alert: You could go made with the huge selection of unbelievable sweet treats on offer. The place is so popular it even sells merchandise.

Amazing full filled cornish pasty.

Delicious pasty and various baked goods. Highly recommended if you're in the area or local! -Update- Invited some friends to Hayle with us this year, from day 1 I was talking about Philps. Needless to say, our friends were pleasantly surprised that I wasn't just going on and on about how nice the pasty are and they're already asking for another tomorrow!

We visited Philps on Monday while on holiday I have been visiting since 2007 and my husband since he was a child. I don’t eat pasty’s normally but these ones are excellent. The meat is generous and the veg is finely chopped and beautifully seasoned. The staff are always polite but the ladies on Monday were impeccable. I didn’t take any names but a lady with short hair and glasses was brilliant. She was friendly, informative and had a great sense of humour too. You are a credit to the company and they are lucky to have you!! We are coming back today for another as they are so delicious.

Delicious little bakery with lots on offer and lovely helpful staff!

Came across this place by accident, had never heard of Philps before. Pasties were okay, nothing special. The steak was in large lumps and needed cutting up more. The cheese and veg was basically cheese and potato, I didn't see any other veg in there. Kids said the galaxy brownie was nice, however we were given and charged for an extra (large) pasty we didn't order which made lunch very expensive. We've had quite a few pasties while on holiday in Cornwall and don't understand the hype around these, I think Mary's Pasties in Mevagissey are better personally. A tip, don't visit on a bank holiday, the queue was well out of the door and when you get in you're very rushed to make decisions and purchase. Hence why we didn't notice the extra pasty til after we left.

Forget all those Supermarket and Fuel Station Wannabees… Philps is exponentially better, in fact, their Pasties should be considered in a different class all together. Proper, decent, flavourful Meat, perfectly cooked Veggies, exceptionally seasoned and enrobed in a Pastry that will make you sign praises of joy to all available Deities. They are soooooo good!!!

The veggie pastry with cheese was absolutely perfect 👌 the stake with cheese was great as well👌

I ordered a very large pasty as a present and 6 other pasties as well. All delivered on the day requested, chilled and looked perfect. Thank you!

Delicious food at a reasonable price. Sausage roll £2.10 Minced beef £2.50 Yum yum...

You will not beat Philps for pasties every time I come to Cornwell it's only Philps bakery.

You have to visit here and drop in for a cornish pasty, absolutely delicious! On holiday here and this place is always busy, had to drop in. I'm so glad we did as these pastries are out of this world! We went for an original traditional pasty, and it was phenomenal, honestly, the weight of it! Absolutely loaded with filling and flavour! Next up went for an Elephants foot, and literally it was! This thing was huge! Taste wise loaded with cream, caramel topped, and basically a giant éclair, but with a twist! Go in and get yourself a pastry. If there's room, get a foot 🤣.

First trip to Hayle yesterday and after a brilliant day out at the Parrot sanctuary just around the corner I had to come and try Philps for the first time after seeing so many reviews on social media! Came in the shop fairly late maybe 4.30pm-ish and there were limited pasties available. Managed to get a Med traditional cornish for the other half and a Med steak and cheese for myself. First of all I was astounded by the sheer size and weight of my medium pasty it was bigger than the future of Kier Starmer. The pastry was absolutely delicious! Huge chunks of meat. Juicy. Succulent. Saucy. Cheesey. Just a flavourgasm in the mouth. Unbelievable Jeff. Delightful. The missus really enjoyed her traditional pasty as well she said it was the best pasty she's had to date although her pasty experiences are fairly limited compared to mine as she's only visited Cornwall 3 times where as I've been holidaying here for 30 years and tried quite literally hundreds of pasties. I did have a bite of her traditional and I have to agree it was the best I've sampled although I usually keep away from traditional I'm not crazy for parsnip and swede. All in all they were honestly 2 incredible pasties. I want to say 2 of the best I've ever had. Absolutely unbelievable value for money. Are they the best pasties in Cornwall? I'm really not sure... they're right up there! Before trying Philps my favourite hands down was Sarah's in Looe. Is Philps better than Sarah's? It's hard to say without a direct comparison of 2 pasties of the same flavour. Was my Philps pasty better than my favourite Sarah's pasty? I don't think it was better. But I do think it was equally as good. I think they are hands down the 2 best shops and I think they are miles apart from any others. I think Sarah's is the best on the East Coast of Cornwall and I think Philps is the best on the West Coast of Cornwall and I think that's an honest review and a very fair comparison. 10/10 perfect pasties for Philps!

Perfect pasties, and lovely fruit scones. Belgium buns to try next.

The BEST pasties I've ever had. Huge chunks of steak. Absolutely delicious! Home from my holiday in Cornwall now and I'm craving them. Pasties are rubbish in Essex. 😭

I love Philps, every time I go to Cornwall I get a Cornish pasty from.

Super tasty cornish pasties! Still hot and fresh even 40min before closing time. And they are a proper size too 👌👌👌

Philps Pasties are one of the best things about the shop! They have a crunchy exterior with a soft, flavourful inside and are so savoury! The flapjacks are also a must-have as they are so moist and sweet, there are usually a few parking spots, depending on the time you choose to arrive, and the paths are wheelchair-accessible too. Service is great and staff are kind <3

Friendly service and the best pasties in Cornwall

We passed by here before heading back to London. Staff were helpful, and prices were reasonable. We bought a lot to share with family and friends. We had some during our service break with a nice coffee, and it was enjoyable. Authentic cornish pasties. Worth the detour.

Very tasty Cornish pastries. Highly recommend

Good size pasties and variety of portions but wasn’t aware gluten free had to be preordered. I understand they might not be as popular but surely having precooked ones cold would be a better option than having to preorder by 2 hours. Vegan option was handy but didn’t have a judge variety of veg in it onion potato and small bits of carrot could have done with some kind of squash and some spinich to help cut through it. Really quite bland as mainly tasted of onion.

Best Pasties and Sausage Rolls around.

The best Cornish pasties in the world!!!!!

Been visiting philps with my family for over 20 years and the toggies never change they’re simply stunning. We also tried the scones this year which were equally delicious.

The best Cornish pasty around. A long queue for a reason!

Popped in for a pasty the other day.

Nice Cornish pasties, shame about the Price! £4.75 for a medium. Prima are nicer and cheaper at £3.90 for Large Steak. Obviously priced for the tourists.

What can I say. Best vegan pasty so far. Queue way out the door and still in and out in about 3 minutes Great speedy service and great pastys

Kind and approachable staff, and really nice food

Today I had a delivery from Philips bakery from Cornwall.... 😁 I haven't had a proper pasty since I was in Cornwall 3 years ago, they arrived very well packaged and most went straight into the freezer. They are absolutely delicious..... Well done everyone at Philips bakery for producing such mouth watering food.

I wouldn't normally buy a cornish pasty from a bakery as I'm not a fan of them but my partner bought me one from Philps and insisted it would be nice, it was, it was great 😄

Exceptional pasties, although considering production costs, they are on the expensive side, very popular!

Deeply upset to realize I ate an entire meat pastie after ordering a vegan one (I'm a strict vegetarian). 😭 We ordered one veggie/cheese pastie and one vegan one, and asked both to be cut in half. They gave us four separately wrapped packages. Ate the veggie one first and saved the "vegan" one for later. Later on I bit into the "vegan" one (literally marked with a v on the bag) and was confused because it seemed so meaty. Then again the reviews were so good for the vegan pastie I didn't think about it too much. I ate the whole thing before my partner opened his up and to our absolute horror it was entirely different from the one I'd just eaten. This is a mistake that could quite literally kill someone, had I a deadly food allergy or something else. In my case I expect to spend the rest of my vacation on the toilet as I haven't had a bite of meat in 15+ years. Will absolutely be avoiding non-vegetarian restaurants for months to come, as my trust is shattered. Vegans and vegetarians beware.

Great pasties, straight from the oven, cakes look amazing. Arrive early for best selection. I can imagine they sell out quickly in the summer.

Excellent proper Cornish pasties. The steak ones are the best by far. Nice modern bakery with outside seating (for sunnier days) friendly service 😋

pasty was okay but only available in shortcrust pastry and the meat in both our pasties was all clumped up in one big lump ,one side filled with veg and a lump of meat in the crust ,why do so many pasty shops do this ,spread the meat about .

Very good pasties, plenty of filling and well seasoned.

Incredible abundant pasties laden with flavour and ingredients. The steak and cheese was my fave. But they’re all delicious! It’s truly a hearty meal in a pastry wrapper! Yum 🤤

A well known bigot and rat was proudly presented on Thursday 08/02/24. Never going here again.

Don't think they've got very good food cleanliness standards. Saw that they had a few rats in their shop today.

Called in today. Bought 4 large and 2 standard steak pasties. I have say these pasties are fantastically delicious! So much better than the rubbish found in supermarkets. You can order online too. It was a 350 mile round trip but well worth it. Thanks.

rude member of staff (older woman)

Excellent quality selection and service. An essential part of any trip to Cornwall. Steak option is particularly good. Steak and cheese also good.

I’ve been eating pasties for 30 years and they’re still the best pasties and cakes in Cornwall.

Service second to none. I was speaking to a fellow trucker who said, "You have to get a steak pasties from Philps," as I said I was delivering to Hayle Town. I parked round the corner on a 30-minute break and popped my head in. The smell was great, and food items where looking to incisive not to buy. I settled on A steak pasties as I was told to do and spotted a Saffron Teatreat (it was 1/2 price) Oh, they tasted great as the pasties were still warm, and the "cake" was breakfast the next morning. Thanks to all the staff at Philps, keep up the hard work making, baking, and creating all the tasty I'll be back when I'm in the area.

The best pasties ever . the large pasties are extremely full with meat and veggies etc potatoes turnip these large pasties will fill you up also great cakes coffee and tea well worth a visit to hayle situated on the Quay as you drive thro hayle Town centre .

I think they're the best pasties in Cornwall

Great food. Lovely helpful staff. Regularly busy. Very often out of stock later in the day. Small and busy car park. Lots of great food options and merchandise. Convenient and interesting location.

Great pasties, but also the meat patties are lush too

Very busy bakery . Really nice Cornish Pasties.

Fast service despite the queue, great selection the cream tea in a box (2 fruit scones, 2 plain, Roddas clotted cream and pot of jam) for £6.50 was the best thing I've had in a long time!! Friends/family loved the pasties we took home with us!

FANTASTIC pasty my favourite in the whole of Kernow

Best pasties we have ever eaten, better than so called Cornish pasties from a famous brand on tv.

Used to make a 40 mile round trip to hayle especially for these pasties. We were so disappointed! They were so undercooked, the pastry was pale and stodgy, rather than crispy and flakey. The insides were black like they had been frozen and reheated! Other family members were also very underwhelmed recently. Guys what has happened?

Absolutely stunning pasties - we had cheese, steak & cheese & gluten free. Such a wonderful range including traditional pasty. Lovely staff. Just be patient as there's usually a queue - but worth the wait!!

What on earth have you done ? Minced beef Pasties should surely be mixed with everything? Sadly huge clumps of minced beef rather than equally spread within the Pastie is definitely not how I remember them. Additionally kindly inform the short fat middle aged woman with glasses to stop shouting orders whilst staff are trying to serve customers it's ignorant and irritating. Sadly I won't be returning.

The best beef pasties in Cornwall, helpful and smiling staff. You need to try it! :)

Always a good pasty, recommended you get a flaky steak when available. Finish it off with a saffron bun for a proper cornish treat

Was a nice tasting pasty but very little steak in it... the saffron bread though is amazing.

The best pasties in the UK hands down.

Lovely pasty. Pastry was special and crispy. Filling very tasty (steak and cheese). Very hot and great service

Had a veg pasty and all it tasted of was salt and too much pepper. No green veg just potato parsnip and swede.

Great fillings and awesome taste.

Quality of the pasties seems degraded. We been there after looking at the reviews, but the pasties we had chicken and veg both were partially baked.. please maintain the quality of food, otherwise you will still be famous but for bad quality food. Thanks.

During a recent trip to the beautiful Hayle, Cornwall we stumbled across what has to be the definitive pasty shop. Available in three sizes Philps pasties truly are fantastic, so good in fact that we spent a small fortune to take some back for our family back home in Northampton. The pictures are of my boys smashing down a pasty each at stone Henge on the way home.

Best Cornish pasties I’ve tasted. Meat is good quality Bacon & cheese bits are unreal when fresh Best ever

Yummy pasties from Philps. No place to eat at the bakery. So we had to take-away and warm them up at home. But they were delicious.

Wow. The best Cornish pasties you will get anywhere. You can order online and get them delivered

Very tasty hot pasty ,not cheap but worth the money

Steak pasty was one of the best one I had. Breakfast pasty was very interesting, all English breakfast inside pasty.

Fabulous pasties and Cornish related gifts. We always stock up on Philps pasties when we're in Cornwall

We really don't understand why that bakery has so good reviews. We stopped there on holiday trip and not happy. The stuff philipp gave 3 times wrong change. We order steak and cheese and chicken when we home found out he give us steak mint and vegetable and the quality was not that good. Most inside was potatoes. We eat much better pasties on our Cornwall trip than there

No photo could do theses pasties justice, absolutely delicious, tasty pasties, perfect balance of flavours😁 Also saw you can order through the post🤩💫

These used to be one of my favourite pasties . But after not having them for about 16 months, I thought in the shop as eating a fresh one that they wasn't quite what they used to be at all. But after taking 10 home and now finishing them I have to say there is far less meat (more chewy) and slightly less filling overall , I feel that the brand has maybe become to big sadly and it's lost what it once had . Definitely not the quality of pasty that I last ate 16 months ago and before that for many years . I do not think they are worth the £6 plus now charge for a large pasty. Such a shame . At least the cheese straws haven't changed .

Great pasties, I went for the traditional steak pasty and it was absolutely delicious. Glad I purchased 2 in the end! Worth a visit, especially if you’re looking for the traditional Cornish pasty taste. Lots of filling too.

Oh lush taste the chunks of steak thank you.

Best Cornish Pasty I have ever had the pleasure to eat ! Lovely shop too. Gorgeous looking cakes and buns .

Lovely pasties and quick service too. Shame the outside eating area was so dirty

Friendly staff...feels like a classic bakery, not commercialised. Pasties are amazing, the best around! Beautiful location, nothing better than a fresh pastie an a lovely view. Only down side (an it's a big one)...they re- heat pasties from the day before so be sure to say "no re-heats please" (they taste different). Over all tho a great experience and a fantastic pastie.Highly recommended 👍

Certainly get your moneys worth with generous portion sizes. Tastes , proper cornish pasties

Great cakes and cornish pasties steak is my favourite and the breakfast pastie is amazing

I always get good service and pasties from there

Great pasties, but double check your order at busy times! I went this Saturday and ordered (and paid for) 6 pasties, but when we came to eat them half an hour later, found we only had 5 in the bag. We also found that we'd not been given what we ordered. This wouldn't have been too much of an issue, but we didn't get the 2 cheese & veg pasties ordered for vegetarian family members. It would also be helpful for the pasty type to be written on the bag, as it wasn't clear which filling was which until broken open. It was a busy Saturday lunchtime, so understandably the staff were working quickly, but I did notice that our server looked unsure when packing our order. In hindsight, I should have checked order before leaving. It won't stop us from coming back though!

Best steak and cheese pasty I’ve ever had 👌

Had a flavourful, peppery, juicy, HOT vegetarian pasty with perfectly crumbly crunchy crust for breakfast and a great coffee! Perfect start to the day.

I had one at midday 12pm and it is 5pm and I am no hungry. I had one and it filled me with beautiful flavour for 5hours 😀

Wide range of products and very friendly staff

Just stopped off at Hayle, on our way to The Minack Theatre. Just a pasty and danish pastry from Philips Bakery. Sat over looking, the harbour. Church bells ringing in the distance. Couldn't be a nicer way to spend some time with my wife. xxx
