Bangers & Mash On The Menu As Cornish Bakery Launch Four New “Best Of British” Pasties

Bangers & Mash On The Menu As Cornish Bakery Launch Four New “Best Of British” Pasties.

Above: The new "Bangers & Mash" pasty from Cornwall's Crantock Bakery - one of four new "Best of British" varieties of the Cornish pasty.

A ‘BANGERS & MASH’ pasty complete with onion gravy is just one of a handful of innovative versions of the ever-popular Cornish pasty to be launched next month.

Cornwall’s Crantock Bakery, the award-winning producer of Cornish pasties, have spent weeks refining the recipe which forms part of their four-strong range of autumn seasonal specials.

Other new flavours available from 1st September include two great British favourites: a Chicken Tikka pasty made with a tikka masala sauce, and a Roast Chicken pasty which contains all the ingredients of a full roast dinner - including stuffing and gravy.

Crantock’s New Product Development Manager, Becky Hornabrook, said: “They say the only thing a Cornishwoman won’t put in a pasty is the Devil, and while our new autumn specials are definitely different we’ve spent a lot of time making sure they taste devilishly good.

“We’ve used locally-sourced Cornish ingredients wherever possible, from the potato and swede grown on local farms, to the herby Cornish sausage in our ‘Bangers & Mash’ pasty. They’re certainly not a traditional Cornish pasty, but they still contain the authentic taste of Cornwall.”

Completing the autumn range is a ‘Bacon & Brie’ pasty, made from cooked smoked bacon, potato and brie.

The new autumn “Seasonal Specials” range will be available for trade and wholesale customers from 1st September until the end of December. To order contact the Crantock Bakery sales team on 01726 861120 or email enquries@crantockbakery.co.uk.

Crantock Bakery’s pasties, sausage rolls and hand-raised pies are sold all over the country in branches of Morrison’s, Asda, Proper Pasty, Cornish Kitchen and many independent bakeries.

Operations Director Matthew Hurry said: “Lots of our customers, such as the Cornish Bakehouse or Oggy Oggy Pasty Company, take our seasonal specials to run as a ‘Pasty of the Month’. In the past many of the products that were created as a short-run special have proved so popular that we’ve been asked to list them permanently.”

Chicken Tikka pasty - chicken and potato in a tikka masala sauce.
