Philps Famous Pasties in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The woman who cooks the pasties has no PR skills when it comes to dealing with customers I asked for 10 pasties and was told I could have 5 other pasties, which initially wasn't a problem but when I asked for 5 more I was told very rudely and abruptly that I could have mince but not the original as she had 8 left until others were cooked. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, isn't it first come first served!! Aren't they there to be bought! I was then told any more than 5 should be ordered, which I did previously in June, to find her rude and abrupt then!! Manners cost nothing! I also work in hospitality and would not dream of speaking to a customer as she did! I will never buy from here again.... Perhaps the company need to look closer at who they employ or teain them in how to provide better customer service.

The pasty maker needs to develop some customer skills, third time this year we have been here, and her simple customer approach has obviously landed in the pasty mixing bowl. If you do not want to have a forward facing job, then stay in the kitchen.

Outstanding. We were given this recommendation from a local and true to their word, these really are the best Cornish pasties! So much so that we went back for another the following day! Absolutely delicious!

Worst pasty I've had in a long time. Undercooked, crunchy veg and soggy pastry . The meat was tender but the rest was appalling for a well known philps pasty.

I called in on my way home to Liverpool , for some pasties to take home . We had a cheese and onion warm out of the shop ,Sorry Philps,it was awful ,couldn’t taste any cheese and it was very dry ,we ate half and threw the rest away . Wasn’t impressed with the pasties we brought home either,very dry ,not good . Wouldn’t recommend this place , tasted far better in Cornwall ,much better !

I had a chicken pasty and my husband had a steak, both were gorgeous! The staff were also very friendly serving us and happily gave recommendations on where to eat them! Thank you!

Excellent pasties and a steady stream of very satisfied customers in an incredible setting. Decently priced and as fresh as they come. What more do you need?

A family member wanted us to bring back a pastie at the end of our holiday. We enquired a couple of days before we left to see if they made the one that my family member wanted. They told us to call the morning that we went so they could get it ready. The morning we left, we called when they opened as recommended, and the woman we spoke to at Philps was so unbelievably rude. We had bad signal so the line kept breaking up. Although we did manage to hear "I wish they wouldn't call while they are BLOODY driving!" I might suggest you learn some telephone manners. Very disappointed.

Best pasties in Cornwall. After being very disappointed with a Warrens in Penzance, we finally found this place. (thank god). We had 2 mince pasties and a vegan pastie and they were packed full and were amazing!!

Very disappointed that Philps not offering a Cheese and Onion pasty when we visited Hayle branch yesterday. the Cheese and Veg was just okay - but rather too much pepper. My wife impressed with the Steak pasty - but as a devotee of C&O I came away disappointed.

1 cheese and veg pasty 2 sausage rolls both disgusting not worth the calories, only slightly warm and tasteless, £8.10 wasted

Very average, nothing wowed me about the pasties. They lacked seasoning and also the veg was quite bland as normally it is very predominant, there was more potato in than swed.

Delicious traditional Cornish Pasties. Could not fault in any way. Plenty of filling, served hot and extremely tasty. One of the best Pasties to be had in Cornwall. Also had the scones which were fab too.

The chicken and bacon pasty was very filling but very nice. Filled me up for the rest of the day while exploring. Fresh and nice.

Having tasted pasties in Penzance and St.Ives we returned home Monday and decided to buy online 8 pasties to share with our grand children. They will be over the moon stuffed with slice seeds and huge chunks of melt in the mouth steak.

Pasties are tasty but I would nt use Marazion branch again, due to the extremely unfriendly manner of shop assistant. I normally Don t care but today my sister went in. No greeting. No smile just rudeness . Unfortunately not just a 1 off ...

Visited this pasty shop due to the reviews. Between us we had traditional, steak and cheese, cheese and veg, and sausage rolls. Pasties were a good size and a reasonable price, but we felt they were too salty and slightly overcooked. Not bad, but we had better at Jessie's Dairy in Mousehole.

Very good Cornish pasty. The best I have ever tasted really. Sat and eat overlooking st Michaels mount. What’s not to like really. Struggled to eat the standard side. Large would have been a challenge. Very tasty and good quality.

During our stay in Marazion we bought steak Pasties, Carrott cake, chocolate fudge brownie and fruit scones. ALL were delicious and good value for money. The pasties were flavoursome with a decent amount of steak. Pastry was perfect, really tasty 😋 We bought pasties and scones to take back to Essex with us. Definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We built up an appetite crossed the causeway so stopped for pasties at Philps. Going since 1958 this family owned business has not rested on its laurels, there is stiff competition now in the pasty business around these parts but they still remain absolutely delicious and still give the newbies a run for their money!

Excellent tasty pasty careful which size you buy as Large is large !!! next time its a standard one for us .

we visited Philips pasties as the landlord of our Airbnb had been kind enough to leave us some in the freezer when we arrived. Once we had eaten them we decided to go to the actual shop to get more since they were so good. However, i have to say that it's a good job the pasties are so tasty because the service and lack of friendliness from the staff would have stopped me otherwise. A smile really doesn't take too much trouble but for both the people working there it seemed that serving customers was the last thing they wanted to be doing.. If you want a great pasty (the best we came across in all Cornwall) and can accept no service whatsoever then i would recommed it..

One of the best pasty’s ever tasted. Yummy onion & vegetable pasty. Highly recommended. Pleasant staff.

We popped in to get some lunch whilst taking a break from searching for sea glass. Despite being very short staffed due to illness, the assistant was friendly and welcoming. There was a small queue, but each person was served as quickly as possible. There were a few grumpy customers waiting , who could have taken the option to go elsewhere, but it was a beautiful day and the wait was fairly short so they really didn't need to be so grumpy! As always the food was delicious and the welcome was friendly.

Couldn’t live without our daily fix of Philps’ tasty pasties & cakes whilst we were on holiday! The staff are v friendly & the food speaks for itself! Simply delicious!

first time i have ordered these pasties delivery was perfect packing was great and the taste was the best i have ever tasted my family also praised the quality of these pasties will definitely be ordering again thank you

Visit this breath-taking place, grab a pint, grab a pastie, zen out and let the sun soothe away your troubles. Raised several kids and many hungry hounds on these delicious baked treats served by friendly people who really know their trade. As authentic as pasties...

Excellent service and a good selection of different types of pasties. The flakey pastry on my vegetable ones was really nice and very flakey!!!

We were going to visit the Kings Arms opposite for lunch, but we’re shocked that a sandwich cost £15! So we saw this place and popped in for two pasties and two cokes. Came to around £12 so can’t really complain! I got cheese and...

I took home 6 pasties as they made a very good impression the first time I bit into one, very heavy and full of steak, just the correct amount of seasoning....superb

Delicious vegan pastries.. really tasty and authentic. Big pasties and filled properly! Lovely team and beautiful location.

Wow! Best pasties ever!! Huge… generously filled… super tasty… reasonably priced! What more can you ask for?!! Staff are super friendly too! Can’t wait to return!

Absolutely gorgeous pasties. Staff were very friendly and despite a huge queue, we only waited a minute or so. Can't really go wrong with this place.

Great pasty but poor service. Stood for 20 mins to be told there are no pasties left!! A simple sign in the window would improve this significantly!!! I not too much to ask to be valued!!!

I've been eating pasties for years and nothing, NOTHING, compares to the steak Cornish pasty I had here the other day. It is completely different to any other Cornish pasty I've had before. Every other outlet pretty much tastes the same but this is packed...

Without a doubt, the best Cornish pasty I've ever had. The pastry was crisp and buttery. The pasty was jam-packed with tasty ingredients. The only thing I could pick at would be it could have had a bit more pepper, but that's just my taste,...

Lovely pastry, luscious filling (perhaps a tad too much tatty), friendly staff and a bench nearby. Perfect.

Seeing some reviews that say there was not a lot of meat in pasty is the complete opposite to the ones we had 5, which all had lots of meat. the only disappointment was you had to wait 30 min for a gluten free ,...

The best Pasty I've ever eaten in Cornwall is in Philps. The base outside and the filling inside is simply delicious and a great fresh quality. Inside the pasty there is lots of filling. I'm Italian and I could never imagine I could like English...

It says vegetarian friendly, but I ordered a cheese & veg pasty, but was given one with chicken (which I realised too late too complain in person). Plus service not particularly friendly. Disappointing.

Great range of fillings and generous portions. Lovely flaky pasty and super filling for a quick tasty lunch. Also try the very reasonably priced cream tea in a box with delicious homemade scones.

My husband and I both had a beef Cornish pasty. We’d read fabulous reviews. Unfortunately both our pasties had very little beef in it. Mine had three bits all in one corner and my husbands had no meat at all apart from in the edge....

Just that really - these are really good pasties (nearly as good as my Mum's were) and generously sized - the standard is perfectly big enough

No visit is complete without a pasty from Philps bakery as far as I am concerned. Tastes like home to me as I have always eaten these as a treat. We like the standard mince, also premier steak and our daughter loves the vegan ones....

Great pasties. Rude staff are obviously on a mask wearing power trip. If you step one step in shop even though there is only one other person in there you get ORDERED rather rudely to the back of the shop! And if you’re putting your...

Delicious best pasty s in Cornwall always have them and their saffron cakes and buns are great aswell we can't pass the bakery without stopping and getting a couple usually taking them on the beach to eat a brilliant bakery

Lovely staff and great pasty’s ,I was quite shocked at the way people treated the staff, as they went in as you could see the staff were working very hard and very busy and are lovely to customers . COVID means we all have to...

Lovley fresh pasties choice of fillings ... lovley cream tea to take away 4 scones 2 jams and. Large cream £6 😋

Had been recommended to try these. These are the best we tested when on holiday in Cornwall. Very generously sized – a large would easily feed two. Unfortunately they are very expensive if you want to order them online!

We each had a large premium steak pasties on a day visit. They were warm with delicious pastry and very generously filled. They are huge- not cheap- but definitely worth it. Delicious!

Very big pasties! I ate the cheese & veg one. Very good and very good price compare to the size of the pasty!

Superb pastie I had today from these guys - proper taste of Cornwall. My family are Cornish through and. Through and I’ve had many a pasty and this is by far the best. Word of warning - these are massive and could easily be 2...

I had a chicken pasty from here which was very flavoursome, however, it traditionally lacked the meat/chicken! The pasty seemed to weigh a tonne, crammed full of filling. The pastry was very nice and the whole thing had a lovely seasoning of pepper. It’s a...

After being recommended this place by my parents, we found it decidedly overrated. We ordered a premium Cornish pasty, it was cold and the pastry was far too thick.. it did however have lovely chunks of steak. Won’t be having another unfortunately.

Not many places to eat at the moment but this tiny pasty shop was open. We ordered two vegan ones and some doughnuts. All good! We walked to a lovely seating area that looked out across the bay to St Michael's Mount and enjoyed our...

Having walked from Penzance, and having discovered that St Michael's Mount was closed we went in search of sustenance. And, what a discovery. The pasties produced here are the best ever, and really full of very tender beef. So good we bought more on the...

Lovely food. Always fresh. BUT one of the women that work there obviously loves the power of Covid. She shouts and orders people around really aggressively to stand in the correct place. She loves the power. Other than that strongly recommended!

Fabulous find situated far end of Marazion a great little shop. Excellent pasties best ever had and cakes are fabulous what a find!! Highly recommended

We first tried the chicken pastie as that was all that was left. On another day, we did try the minced beef and the steak, which sell out very quickly, but my favourite was the chicken.

It was a filthy day, high wind and torrential rain and we were heading back from the mount soaked through. A guide suggested going to Philps for a pastie and we are so glad we took his advice. One large and one regular steak pastie, full of meat, tasty crust and so so filling. Nothing like shop bought, delicious.

I had a large steak pasty from Philps in Marazion. Wow!! They are best pasties I've had whilst I've been on holiday in Cornwall. Packed full of meat and flavour. I'll be having some again next time I'm in Cornwall.

I remember eating Philips pasties many years ago and I was determined to get another one on my recent trip to Cornwall. We went to the Marazion shop and took them to some benches overlooking the beach and St Michael's Mount to eat, and it was the perfect Cornish lunch! I had the mince version again, as I love the big chunks of mince. My friend was disappointed they'd run out of large pasties, but the regular is plenty big enough. Would highly recommend!

We used this shop most days and the staff were brilliant. Its a small shop so only 2 people at a time were allowed in. The pasties, quiche, cakes were all lovely.

These pasties are very very good, and used by thousands of locals.To my mind, they aren't GREAT. There are better ones around, but not a great choice in Hayle. I don't think it fair to mention a competitor's name on here, but a one man business close by is great. Still, these are very good.

Excellent pasties. These are probably the best pasties you will ever eat. We had two medium steak pasties, and as others have said they are big. We sat on the beach and ate ours looking across at St Michael’s Mount, perfect. Would highly recommend trying.

Wowww. What to say, after a couple of days around trying different pasty these ones got the first price by far.We had to queue a bit (5 min maybe) to get 2 vegan pasty! Amazing they had vegan options. And they were absolutely amazing. A must go if you are near by, don't hesitate to stop there and try them, they wait will be paid by the experience.Walk a bit and you'll be eating your pasty with the castle in your sight.

We sampled most of the pasties on offer and they were all delicious. My order of preference is Chicken, Steak and then Traditional. The chicken one is so nice I had to have another one before we left to return home. Tasty, creamy, moist and slightly peppery - absolutely delicious! The chocolate brownie is also very nice, gooey and gorgeous. Please open a shop in Leicester!

Although the website says they do GF, once in store they require 2 hours notice... yes that's right, you have to know you will be hungry in two hours time and still in that area. The height of the tourist season and they're not prepared to take the GF gamble.

Great shop and fantastic pasties. Bought a medium one and it was huge - would have definitely served at least 2! Tasted great. Also bought bag and cuddly pasty as gifts. Excellent re social distancing - numbers limited to 2 in shop.

Love these pasties buy on the morning wrap up and take with you on your coastal walk and eat for lunch

We'd bought mince beef pasty and a steak pasty. My standard sized mince beef pasty was excellent and a decent size, I certainly didn't need a large one. Husband had the steak pasty and also really enjoyed it though said he'd have preferred a bit more salt, but he does tend to add salt to most food so he's no barometer of saltiness!

Gorgeous pastey. The pastry was amazing. Superb filling. Worth a visit. Fair prices for quality. Staff not overly friendly. Probably fed up with how busy it is

Been searching for a clearly marked vegan pasty and found this location. Big size, full of veg and only £3.25.

Wow by far the best pasties we’ve had. We had 1 in the week during our stay and went back on the way home to pick some up for our lunch later in the day. It was only 9:30am as we were leaving to head back home so had to wait about 10 mins before they were ready. We went for standard size and they were so filling. The young lady in the shop was really friendly with great customer service. Thank you, we will be back. Lovely place, lovely people.

Delicious pasties with lovely pastry! We had the premier steak and a chicken one 👍🏼👍🏼 Would highly recommend.

We've visited Marazion several times over the last ten years plus and always try to get at least one pasty while in the area. I've tried several other local places and by far Philips are the best.

What else is there to say other than this place has amazing local pasties. Best get there early in the morning if you want the really fresh ones. Also served a wide range of other nice items like scones and hot drinks.

We tried quite a few pasty’s on our holiday and this was by far the best ,Packed with big lumps of beef and tasted amazing

Me and my partner stopped by for a pastie. After ordering our food we were told that the card machine was not working and they could only take cash. Obviously we could not pay. A simple sign is all that was needed to display this fact and also the server could of told us beforehand that they could only take cash, don't let people order then tell them. Also the server was incredibly disrespectful to my partner in putting the bottle of water back into the chill cabinet. She is not an idiot, she knows she has to put it back because we cannot pay. Overall we are extremely dissatisfied with the customer service on offer here. I work in hospitality and I would never treat my customers like this.

The best I have tasted. Highly recommended. May seem dear on first seeing them, £3 for regular and £3.50 large, but they are so filling a really reasonable cost for lunch. I thought they would be a bit over the top with the pastry, but it wasnt and we ate every bit. Going to order some to be posted!

The best Cornish Pasties we have ever tried. The steak ones are superb. They make a great packed lunch if you enjoy a good walk.

Every time we come to Cornwall, we have to eat your famous pasty. We even take some back to Germany and freeze them.

Delicious warm pastie eaten with a view of St Michaels Mount on a bright windy morning. This is the life

Bought a beef and a chicken pasty. Both very good. They are large. One is enough for two. The beef pasty was full of beef. Chicken also chock full. The pastry part was very flaky and delicious.

I often buy pasties here as I live just up the road. They are pretty much consistently great and I have only had the odd dodgy one out of many. The staff here are fab too and we always have a chat. My only gripe; I wish this shop had the facilities to keep the pasties hot after cooking.

Back in Cornwall after several years break. Had pasties from several bakers but hadn’t caught up with Philps recently. Their pasties still beat all the rest and this is the shop to get them

Lovely Cornish pasties - the best we’ve had. Really tender meat, great pastry and an overall great taste.

before i start this review is based on the last ten visits covering the last 12 mouths but result allsways being the same. on one visit being 10am serve very cold pastie which seem like it was from the day before or a cooked one that had be frozen and they re sold. cant blame them for making them as they are made in hayle but selling me crap from the day before is not what i paid for serve them to holiday holiday makers who would not know the difference not me. on another accassion went here at 12 o clock only to be sere luke warm pasties went really this being a peak time sould most defintely sould be hot. i still keep buying from here in hope of one day they might get it right. and it would be nice if a manager would actionlly read my report and get back to me so i can tell them where they are going wrong and i can tell them how to put it right you are only there because no one has give you a run for youe money in this area and you holiday makers have not had much to compare them to.

whilst staying in a cottage locally we picked up freshly baked croissants each morning for breakfast and delicious freshly baked pasties for our picnic lunch.Staff were friendly and welcoming, highly recommend. Just a suggestion... it would be great if the owners could put a handy hook outside so dogs can be tethered!

You can't beat a great cornish pasty when in Cornwall and these guys make a great pasty plus a few other bits including a lovely sausage roll. Yum yum.

Delicious pasties, vegan as well, sausage rolls are far better than Greg’s! £15 for lunch for five, great value.

Bought pasties from here whilst visiting and found them very salty , having had others in Cornwall I had something to compare them too .

Never disappointed with a Philps pasty. Baked fresh on the premises. Not too peppery. The chocolate brownie is uber rich anx for serious chocolate lovers.

Brought pasties for tea, which I reheated. They were delicious! Both my husband and son eat meat so has steak and a chicken pasty. I had the veg and cheese! Would totally recommend a stop here to grab a pasty or two!

I reached the front of the queue just as they ran out of hot pasties, but bought a pre-cooked cold one - was so ravenous, and the wait-time was going to be 30 mins.

Went here for pasties, they cooked them while we waited, queues were out the door, pasty was very nice and well worth the wait. Will be back for another one before we go home and would recommend.

Stopped off here on our way to our campsite in Marazion, there was a fair queue when I arrived but it moved quickly so I didn't have to wait long to be served, staff were friendly. They had a choice of a few different flavours, we opted for a mince and a steak one, both were good but I think the steak one had the edge over the mince one. Very tasty and I certainly would go back again.

Great pasties, couldn’t finish a whole one. Lots of filling and so tasty. Definitely worth a visit if in the area!

As a family of 5 we tried lots of pasties from different places & I can truthfully say that Philps are the BEST!

What can i say? As a regular customer and local, you wont find a better pasty...flaky steak all the way for me!
