Proper Pasty in Derbyshire Dales

Had a traditional Cornish pastie today and can honestly say it was tastier than the ones I get in Cornwall.

Went in this morning for two coffees and a cheese pasty. The lady who served me was great, we hand a quick chat about the disappearance of Costa in the town. All the staff were working hard and doing their job. The place was clean and tidy, the coffees were great and the pasty was perfect! Would highly recommend and definitely go back. The menu isn’t huge but if you take it for what it is it’s a great place with fantastic staff.

Very nice pasties and a good cup of coffee. Good value for money.

I've only bought a Cornish pasty from the shop a few years ago but it was delicious!! 😋 I'm going back there next Sunday.

I had an amazing spicy chorizo chicken pasty ! Soo yummy and just perfect.

Bought 2 lamb and mint pasties today, for £9.00......never again, barely a teaspoon of lamb MINCE in the middle and virtually no mint, the whole thing was just full of potato......don't waste your money. Thank you for taking the trouble to reply. We bought the pasties to take home and have them for lunch, we live 15 or so miles away, so no, we are not coming back. Secondly, had we found a park bench and eaten them in the local vicinity, how much of it should we eat before deciding to bring them back, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or all of it ? I'm sorry, but what we had was poor and not value for money. We won't trouble you again.

You can smell the delicious pastries from miles away!!! A pastry for every taste bud!

Pet friendly and delicious food! We took the coffee + pastry deal , highly recommend

Was in bakewell for country show, called here for small pork pies for lunch, omg they the best pies ever, the pastry is to die for and the meat so tasty😋 not like from supermarket 🤮 Think I gonna have to book another weekend break 🥰

Not even a one - horrible Bakewell tart. Mr Kipling could do better.

Brilliant pasties, way better than this chain next door. Nice staff, very friendly, very tasty, and great they do a loyalty card as well. I always come whether I'm in Bakewell.

My son bought me a Bakewell tart here whilst on holiday this week. What a disappointment. The home of Bakewell tart no less, ought to hang their heads in shame. Pastry much too thick and stodgy, half a spoon if tasteless jam, topping did nothing to salvage the experience. My mum (a wonderful baker) could knock their effort into a cocked hat.

You've got to go a long way to get a better pasty than this, Probably Cornwall.

The shop owner was closing for the day and gave us a discount to buy the remaining stock of baked goods. He then gave us some sausage rolls for the road. We were visiting from America and hadn’t had any of it before so the gesture was greatly appreciated.

I cannot give enough praise to this amazing little shop. The pasties taste amazing and are very filling. The deserts are incredible too. I did not get the lady's name who was working in the store on Friday 10th May but her customer service has set the bar very high. She was very helpful, polite and patient and went above and beyond expectations when there was an accident with one of the desserts we had bought. I cannot give enough praise or recommend this little gem high enough.

Highly recommend the Spiced Cauliflower & Bhaji Pasty. Crispy pastry and the filling head creamy and with the right amount of spice. My husband reluctantly tried it, he isn’t a fan of cauliflower but even he said it was ‘bloody lovely’ Sorry I didn’t take a photo but I was enjoying it too much !

Lovely staff and great food at good prices!

Without a shadow of a doubt the best pasties in Bakewell. The sisters(?) that run this shop are brilliant, absolute constant service with a smile, always happy to help. The selection of Sausage rolls, pasties etc is vast and you can try something new every time you go in. Wholeheartedly recommend.

I've been going to this fine establishment for the past 9 years and never had a bad thing to say. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Don't belive any of the negative comments on here, they will just be out of towners, who are so used to buying the greggs, that they don't know what good food tastes like anymore. Keep the great work, the coustmer service and the great food. I'm a devoted customer to these ladies and will not step foot in any of the other pastie shops

Really disappointed with my steak and stilton pastie.....sorry :-( Quality of the meat. Typically I like to write positive reviews I might add

A cute little English café. Small inside - so don’t count on getting a seat. The pasties were hot, delicious and perfect size. The pastry was brilliant and there was plenty of filling! So good that I went back that afternoon for a different pasty! A great spot for a quick bite.

Great pasties and well priced. Good range too including sweet pasties and vegetarian options too. Perfect lunch for wandering around!

Best pasty I have ever had, service is excellent 👌

Popped in for lunch as I'd already eaten my fair share of puddings/tarts and wanted something a bit different. I am partial to a good Cornish pasty and good ones always bring me back to childhood family holidays, and that's exactly what the pasty from here did. Good price, good service, good food, cannot go wrong.

Does anyone know can you airfry these plz

Had a pork and chorizo sausage roll and oh my days. Best sausage roll i have ever have in my 39yrs of existence! My kids both had a sausage roll and said they're better than greggs! In my opinion that's a massive win! I enjoyed mine so much i had to go back for another

Do not take cash. In this society where cash is the only real value currency we are being lead down this funnel to go cashless. Digital currency and we all are oblivious. When it’s gone you will say how did this happen!!!!!!!

These were quite possibly the best pastys we have ever had!! They were fresh, hot and so tasty. The creamy chicken pasty was delicious! We will be coming back for these again and would definitely recommend!

Winning combination - great pasties and friendly staff. Had the Cornish pastie and the spicy chicken. Both fresh and delicious, would certainly come back again.

I brought a pasty from here, however I’m now very unwell with serve diarrhoea and sickness! Also watch out this is probably because the pasty’s are not covered up properly and who knows how long they have been there!

Just called in, not noticed before. Well worth seeking out, coffee & pasties superb. Staff very friendly. Great service. Recommend.

I was told that the shop was shut to the public, by a rude condescending lady, the shop looked open but quite. She was very rude to me! I was unable to get any food and told they are opening tomorrow! The open looked very opened! If it is shut to the public then at least shut the the door!

First day open. Super friendly staff, really lovely. Cracking pasties. You must try.

Excellent service by very polite and professional staff. Great food and overall experience

8 quid for 2 bland pasties go across the road

Steak and ale pasty. No ale, no steak, no taste. All potato Not nice at all.

Superb pasties which in my view are the best I've ever had and I've sunk a few in my time. I've now tried four of their variations and all equally wonderful

Excellent pasty place. We visited twice when in Bakewell for just 4 days! The classic pasty completely delivers, a true taste of Cornwall.

The chicken and leek pasty is amazing. Highly recommended.

The cornish pasties were all potato, barely a trace of meat. Not worth the price they're charging

Great little pasty shop, lovely food. Very friendly helpful staff, five star from me.

Grabbed the Spiced Vegetarian pasty from here on my way to the Monsal Trail and it was delicious. Wasn't too spicy, but was full of flavours.

Just bought medium steak Cornish pasties and they were better a lot we have bought in Cornwall.Will definitely be calling again.

Nice little pasty shop in the centre of Bakewell, with a decent range of pasties, including large traditional steak for those with an appetite. We bought medium traditional pasties to eat down by the river and they were very tasty, so will return. Friendly service with a smile and great value for money.

Fabulous tastes delicious walk 6 miles, just what I needed

Fresh hot pasty cooked on site, so good we went back for a second one before heading home.

Found this little place which was fantastic, great selection of hot pastries, very tasty. And very reasonably priced. Small shop friendly staff, we sat in to eat,

Had a traditional cornish pasty pity it hadn't seen any salt or flavour bland. Won't be going again.

Without a doubt the best vegetable pasty I have ever eaten! Beautiful on the outside tasty on the inside just perfection!

The pasties were nice however I had to wait ages for the pasties to be cooked and I was also overcharged. I was charged for 4 pasties when I was given 3. Also, one of the pasties was the wrong kind. It's a shame there aren't many other proper pasties local else I'd go there

4 Proper pasties that were delicious from start to finish. Plenty of filling and they were reasonably priced.

Was really looking forward to this reopening after lock down for a pasty fix. Pleased to see chilli and cheese for the special and having sampled this several times before thought it would be delicious. Noticed the prices had gone up and when I opened my bag to take a bite it was some horrible, over cooked flaky puff pastry exterior, the filling was crammed full of those awful red beans, loads of potato and not much else. After two bites I threw it. There are other flavours to choose from which are quite tastey but the theme seems to be they are all potato and swede and very little else. Will not be rushing back

I can recommend. I lived in Devon and Cornwall for many years and these are the best I have ever tasted. They really are a proper pasty.

I went to this shop as it sells pasties, it doesn't matter how small the shop is or if it is wedged between other buildings, it's a pasty shop not the ritz, you dont eat in, so why write a review on a pasty shop based on the shop size, you are reviewing the pasty's & service.The lady who has served me several times is extremely pleasnt & efficient, there traditional large pasties are excellent because they are made in Cornwall they are lovely.

I had a small steak Pasty which was well seasoned and tasty; you could make out the veg and meat not like some pasties which seem to be filled with a grey liquid! Very hot we sat and ate near the river which was bustling with fish and ducks!Only thing that let it down the coffee was weak and under whelming!!

Stay away as overpriced and not at all worth it.

We ordered three pasties only one of them was what we ordered. After 20mins all of them were super hot but the cheese pastie was nuclear hot and couldnt be touched for another 20 mins. If you attempted to eat the cheese pastie you will get blisters! Even though these pasties were disappointing we had to pay £3 for each. They also only took cash. We ended up wishing we went to Greg's where we could have had 3 amazing pasties and a drink for a fraction of the prise. Plus you can pay on card!!

Sometimes, on our frequent visits to Bakewell, we shun the usual cafe's with the same old sandwiches, jacket potatoes, toasted sandwiches etc. etc. and just go for one of the pasties from The Proper Pasty Company. We nearly always get a seat and they serve a very reasonable cup of coffee with it!

Cash only. Banks now offer multiple free ways to be paid via debit. Choosing to run a business cash only is done for one reason only.

Great value, great taste, especially good after a long walk, recommended!

Agree with Tracy and many other visitors. Taste ok and a big variety, but very little meat. Too much potato. Pastry too thick. Enjoyed the rest of our visit in Bakewell.

Been a couple of times and had different pasties on both occasions which were delicious.

Wasn't open when the opening times claimed it was

We drove all the way to Bakewell, a 40 mile round trip to buy the family proper Cornish pasties yesterday (as we are from there originally and know our pasties) only to find the shop closed. Please alter you opening times online as we checked to see if you’re open before left! Most disappointed ☹️

Fantastic pasties great selection 5 STAR

Pasty average, service could be better. A smile goes a long way.

Working local regularly, always go in... good fillings, impressive!

went in and got 2 lamb and mint when got home opened them only a thimble full of meat not much veg very poor no filling at all will not buy again do not buy

Very nice clean place good food frendly staff

if I could give zero stars I would. Went in yesterday about 4pm to get a lamb and mint pasty. With how the signs were positioned around the pasties it looked to me that she was giving me a spicy one. I questioned her, because my partner gets very poorly with anything spicy. She told me she always has 1 in front and 1 behind the sign (a stupid way in my opinion) anyway it was the wrong one and after 1 bite it made him very ill all night.

I would give this a higher score but there was little allergy information shown. Choice of Pasty is good and caterers for vegetarian but no info in nuts, diary, gluten etc. Be even better if this was considered. Great on a cold day in Autumn would go again.

A small shop, yet full of pastries. Freshly baked each morning. Loads of tastes. Spicy Chicken, Lamb and Mint, All Day Breakfast, Steak and Ale, Steak and Stilton, Traditional Cornish Pasty, Cheese and Onion, Spicy Vegetable and of course the Sausage Roll. Hot and Cold drinks served too. Prices are not cheap, but worth the money. Very Tasty.

Proper Pastry Co., 3 Water Lane, Bakewell DE45 1EUEating Cornish pasties in Bakewell Derbyshire …. Hmmm, makes you think about priorities, etc. of ‘When in Rome ….’. Can’t come to Bakewell without at least sampling one of those traditional dolce for which this small town is famous throughout the English-speaking world: Bakewell tarts & Bakewell puddings.But … we’d ordered Cornish pasties. Well, the shop specialized in them; it was lunchtime and tarts and puddings are best associated with afternoon tea (or a second/third course after the mains). Earlier we’d walked passed a shop in Matlock Street that had taken its name from this culinary delight – but, when we looked inside, it had been dark and full to overflowing. Well …. the thought had been there.The Proper Pasty Co was shoe-horned into just about the smallest space ever; there’s no way that you could ‘swing a cat in …’ this one. (Never heard that saying before? It comes from taking a break in the Peak District – one of those iconic parts of England in which time appears to have stood still – here you have this gorgeous patchwork of stone-walled fields, sheep/cattle grazing and rolling green country with a scattering of villages hidden in the valleys, limestone outcrops, rivers that have followed the tracks of ancient glaciers and scoured out narrow beds that once provided ancient trails and, now, easy walking for your modern-day hiker/day-tripper. This is a glimpse of the English countryside at its best. So, it’s easy to slip into old fashion language.)We found the pasty shop in the tweeky tourist-focused part of town squeezed in between the River Wye and Bridge Street – everything renovated, smart and novel; the majority food/eating shops and, in the sunshine of early September, the haunt of the holiday-maker; if not the wall-to-wall grey brigade, then a fair number of them fitted that description – all tucking into their local fayre. We were looking to join them. The Proper Pasty shop, like the area around it was smart, pristine clean, full of light; the shop window full of pasties that looked inviting.We’d been searching for a place to sit and eat – spacious, comfortable, etc. and preferably inside (given the keen wind that was blowing off the hills around). We were the only ones in the shop – and took up half the table/seating available, but it was only the takeaway trade that followed us in during our time. The Cornish pasties looked delicious. It helped that presentation was good – glass, light, clear descriptors/prices, etc. Friendly serving lady too.We asked the friendly lady. ‘Isn’t there some kind of rule that you can’t use the descriptor ‘Cornish’ for a pasty of this kind unless it’s made in Cornwall?’.Quick as a flash she came back. ‘That’s right, and those in our shop are made there; they’re shipped in and baked here’.Behind the lady you could see through into the large wall oven and the next batch of pasties being cooked.The second question was about design. ‘My mother used to fold her pastry and crimp them at the top, running the crimp side-to-side and up-and-over; your pasties are flat and crimped around a sort of half-moon shape, a bit like an apple turnover’.‘That’s a Devon pasty’, she said.Not only friendly then – clever too. On the wall there was an offer ‘Pasty & drink £5.00’; we took the bait and ordered a couple of pasties (Cornish – lamb/mint, and vegetarian) and drinks - café latte and orange juice. There’s not much difference in pricing with coffee & pastry – discount of the order 2%, but considerably more with fruit juice & pastry -20%. (Separate prices £2.80, £2.30 & £1.20. You work it out. Our issue, of course, we’d requested the meals.)Findings? Enjoyed the lamb/mint pasty, but the veggie one was disappointing – mixed/minced interior even and/or muddled tastes of contents and pastry; none of that contrasting taste/texture that you get from biting into chunks of potatoes & meat. The veggie pasty remained half-eaten and then got binned. It raises the question of whether you can make a real Cornish pasty that’s veggie.We enjoyed our break notwithstanding that veggie pasty. Coffee was good.(We'd have summarized the Proper Pasty Co shop as 'Good' but, unfortunately, TripAdvisor does not provide this category - and thus our 'Average given that it did not meet 'Very Good' status).Peter SteeleHartington12 September 2018

After reading some of the other reviews I was a little concerned that this was going to disappoint. But after watching a number of locals ie builders and the postie enter, decided to give it go. Not disappointed. The pasty was just the thing on a cool day. I’m sure you can get a cheaper one elsewhere but this was a nice grab and go meal.

I try to get a pasty from here whenever I visit Bakewell and am always satisfied with any pasty I order. Recently however I’ve noticed the filling isn’t that great.. not sure what’s going on with that but not as much meat in the pasty’s? Giving them a 4 Star in hopes that the owner/manager sees this and fixes the issue as they’ve always sold great pasty’s and other customers are complaining about the same issue. Easy fix guys!

Really disappointed in the inconsistency of the fillings. I bought 2 lamb and mint pasties totalling almost £8. Hubby bit into his and remarked how well filled it was, with plenty of meat. I took a bite into mine expecting the same but was met with nothing but swede and potato. Thinking things would get better, I took another bite, and another, and another. Mine was all veg apart from perhaps a 1/4 teaspoon of meat. Perhaps the pasty filler was texting or otherwise distracted and gave one an overly big dollop of meat and sacrificed the next one's portion. Who knows? Except I won't be returning........this was supposed to be a treat not a guilt trip for my hubby who got the decent pasty!

Over priced!!!! I paid just over £11 for 2 small steak party's and 1 medium steak pasty, as an added slap in the face there was hardly any filling in them either and the meat was hardly meat. The pastry was nice. I won't be going there again.

Great pasties, limited amount of banter from the staff.
