Make it easy and tasty for you and the family and come along to learn how to make the best Cornish Pasty (family recipe!) and take 6 home with you to pop in the freezer ready for Boxing Day – simply heat up and serve with all that leftover cheese and cold meat!

You can mix it up a bit by making some traditional meat, some veggie, or why not add some Cornish Blue cheese to make a tasty cheese pasty – something for everyone.
