The seating is open, so when you arrive, feel free to choose any table. I wasn't greeted when I visited this first time and wandered the restaurant a little lost before I was told that I could seat myself anywhere. After that, service was solid and my server was helpful with recommendations etc. I ordered the beef cottage pie, the banoffee pie, and the Oggie to take home.
The cottage pie was really good. The red wine gravy that comes on the side is a great addition to what I thought would be a dry pasty. The pasty was piping hot, dough was baked perfectly, and a good combination of peas and carrots, grilled onions, mashed potatoes and cheddar. The size of the pasty was filling. I didn't need the banoffee pie, but I wanted to try it. The banoffee pie was a sugar overload. I honestly didn't know what I was expecting. It's literally a caramel pie with a side of graham cracker crust, whip cream and bananas. I would have taken that home with me too, but that amount of sugar was too too much for me. Unless you're a huge sugar-holic, I think this dessert could be shared between four people and consumed with coffee, could also be paired well with a good whisky too.
The Oggie that I took home, had not been baked yet, so I was able to cook it in a toaster oven the next day. When you look at the contents of the Oggie, it's pretty similar, minus the rutabaga. It tasted very similar to the beef cottage pie, but the flavors of the cottage pie were better.
I've not had a pasty before, so my experience is limited to this one time, but I'm very satisfied to have had my first at Cornish Pasty Co. I would definitely dine here again.
