Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe: A Modern Bite of Tradition
Gather ‘round, hungry folk and pie-seekers alike. For today, we share a tale older than many a pub story: the legend of Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe not a specific building of bricks and mortar, but an idea.
A feeling. A delicious echo of tradition that lives on in every golden crust.
At Cornwall Pasties, we pay homage to this timeless notion with every handmade parcel of flaky glory.
We’re not just baking pasties; we’re preserving a piece of British history, one ultra-filled Cornish beauty at a time.
What Does “Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe” Really Mean?
The phrase might sound like something from a Shakespearean snack bar, but it’s far more charming than that.
-
Ye: The Old English word for “the.” Used to add a touch of historical flair.
-
Olde: An archaic spelling of “old.” Often seen in signage and shop names to evoke nostalgia.
-
Pastie Shoppe: A lovely throwback spelling of “pasty shop,” calling to mind open hearths, flour-dusted aprons, and hearty fillings.
So when you say Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe, you're not just referring to a place you're invoking an experience steeped in heritage.
A Taste That Time Forgot (But You Won’t)
When you sink your teeth into one of our traditional Cornish pasties, you’re taking a bite out of the past. We honour age-old recipes, using:
-
Flaky, buttery shortcrust pastry
-
Locally-sourced beef skirt, diced and seasoned to perfection
-
Swede, potato and onion in their golden ratio
-
No shortcuts. No compromises. Just the kind of bake that would make your nan nod in approval
The difference?
Ours are ultra-filled because tradition doesn’t mean stingy.

Why Old-Fashioned Is the New Delicious
The term “old-fashioned” used to be thrown around like an insult. But today? It’s a badge of honour. It means:
-
We take our time to do it properly
-
We care about the quality of every ingredient
-
We craft, not mass-produce
At Cornwall Pasties, we believe in tradition—but with generous filling and next-day delivery. The best of both worlds.
