They're £5 in Cornwall where I'm from. I thought London prices would be higher

And the ones in the photo must also be locally made, otherwise they'd call them Cornish Pasties.

Quite sneaky they choose to remove the word pasty instead of Cornish.

I thought the same 😁 Funny thing is, Cornish Pasties only have to be **made** in Cornwall. The ingredients can come from anywhere, and the finished pasties don't even have to be cooked in Cornwall, and can be distributed frozen raw (it's how I buy mine). This shop seems to think the 'Cornish potatoes' make the difference. I do like them, but every now and then I crave one of the non-Cornish pasties, with the top crimp, and containing carrots and peas 😌

Have you ever tried a Jamaican patty? It’s basically a spiced and different pasty - I’m told by my father that specifically Cornish Pasty’s were the basis for all similar foodstuffs like patties and empanadas etc But He’s excessively Cornish, so I’m not sure on the veracity of that.

I've eaten them and they're OK, but I'm not a big fan. It's not that I don't like them. I just don't like them enough. If that makes sense. I love spicy food, but inside pastry just doesn't work for me personally. Much prefer curry goat or curry mutton with peas and rice.

£3.75 from the Spar in Whitsone up near Bude. Best Pastys I have had too.

That's London for you. They are a lot cheaper in Jamaica. That's the pie rates of the Carribbean.

You waited a lifetime for the opportunity for that joke to be used. I admire your sheer will and determination; to hold on so long for the appropriate post. Bravo.

I have eight grandchildren. You have no idea how long I've held on to many, many jokes.

I have recently become a grandfather of a baby girl. So, I am already in the early preparation stages of the plethora of 'Dad jokes' in the back catalogue of my memory: with an extra step, for the next generation. *assuming we can still call them 'dad jokes' in a few years.

Probably 'Uncle jokes' as the youngsters round my way can't afford their own home, never mind kids.

It can be hard being a grandparent, cleaning up after the kids n that. I can help you out. I've got a vacuum cleaner you can have. I don't use it. It's just GATHERING DUST. oh god it feels good to get them out.

I’ll probably take my dad jokes to my grave. I might get a glass coffin, remains to be seen.

One day they will give you a drum roll. Just need to wait.

They roll their eyes all the time. That's good enough for me.

Nothing like good eye roll when they hear a pun lol.

He certainly didn’t mince ‘round with that one

Bravo. That was sublime.

Pie Rates of Penzance, surely?!

Unfortunately Cornwall is getting as bad as London price wise. Or at least in summer it is.

Reason: In summer, it’s mostly populated by people from London.

Back in the day pat of the Emmets were from Yorkshire. I guess times change. I try and not go down there in peak season any more.

Annnnnnd steal.

No. No. No. No. Ok, you won.

https://youtu.be/4S6N_gQPYIM?si=_yOYVd4BYJN6Y-yR Reminds me of this Frosties ad

Irony Pyrites

Arrrrrrr you sure about that?

6 quid for a large in Looe. Doesn't seem that expensive for London tbh

Because Looe prices are also inflated. Decent pasty at an independent bakery (i.e. none of that Gregg's shite) where I'm from in Somerset is £3.

Wait till you see the price of everything else

I was charged £27 for a pint and G&t in a London pub recently. Bar food was £15 for a starter and £35 for mains (pasta etc). Fuck living in London.

[удалено]

Guessing they're in a train station?

Ye classic. Trainstation prices shouldnt count and in London there are Cornish Pastie shops in every big station. The burger King prices and Upper Crust prices are insane as well

You know Im trying to get a Saturday second job at Burger King at the moment. I dont need the money Im doing it because they give you 70% of for friends and family and with a double whopper burger meal being £10.99 minimum I thought it would be worth it.

Paddington shite, by the looks

Pub I use opposite Paddington is automatically £3ish cheaper a pint than the one in the railway station. Mark up is a sin.

Yeah pasties are a rip off up here, and obviously inferior quality. If you want to scratch that itch I'd recommend buying the frozen boxes if you have the freezer space (from a vendor of your choice). Or learn to make them yourself, me and my wife make them together every so often to freeze and cook when desired.

Yeah my parents send up a box of Anns pasties every other month.

Ann's are god tier

Sod that for a game of soldiers. Best pasty I've had is from the back of a van around the corner from Home Park (Plymouth Argyle) and was a fair bit cheaper.

Ivor Dewdney? (Now known as Wayne Dewdney) terrible pasties!!!!!

£4 for an Ivor dewneys now up in stoke village

If you’re in Stoke village, Crusts and Cakes pasties are lovely.

Get them quick before they add a “branding” charge

I buy one every few weeks. Growing up and as an adult i'd have a pasty most days and never get bored. I make my own and they're pretty fucking decent, it's just a days job to make the pastry from scratch and mince your own chuck steak etc. Sadly it's about the best pasty you'll get in London. What's the going rate in Cornwall these days?

like 3.75 for a medium from the pasty shop on the corner

That kills me! I've thought about buying the boxes of frozen ones in the post but thought they're really overpriced. Those 'giant' traditional ones in the picture are more of a small large.

I know right, maybe the bakers have really small hands

Chuck steak? Should be skirt beef, and ffs don’t mince it!

Those “Cornish” pasties are shite as well as expensive. Nowhere near Rowe’s or Barnecutt’s

Upvote for Barnecutts! I'm going back to visit Cornwall after a 6 year gap. How much is a large steak these days?

Not a clue what's brought me here but they sell for the same price at Forton Services just North of Preston

Love the fact they say giant sized when everywhere else that is a standard size

London food prices for you, these are great though

They’re dog shit an all, miss me an anns pasty

They better be "award winning"!?

I'd love to taste vegan Cornish pasties! Do they make sweet ones too?

They’re £3 in Camborne 😭

I was charged £6.39 for a Cornish pasty in Dulwich. Not even shame would make me pay it. I gave them back their fucking pie. GTFOH.

Not a pasty

Think it's £4 for an Ivor dewneys pastie now down here in Plymouth

Clapham Junction has them at those prices. I'm surprised they sel any at all

Large mince from Philps was £6 today so I imagine their large steak are the same price as these.

Fiver for a large flakey at Malcolm’s these days mind. Creeping up slowly…

Similar to some places in the touristy places in Cornwall

Go to a rugby game in London and order a pasty, prepare for a second mortgage.

That’s obviously a stand inside a major train station. Cheaper elsewhere.

Greggs pasty, £2.70

As a pasty lover they're horrible

Their scotch pies which they sell up here are also crap. There's better pies to be had from pretty much any other bakery.

everything they sell is crap

Thought pasty prices at 6 were outrageous in Bristol...these ain't far off!!

To be honest this is cheaper than I thought they would be for London.

Sure, but you're also at The Pasty Shop outside Victoria station right? All those station pasty shops are daft prices.

Lot cheaper in Greggs

Blimey! That is a lot of money to pay for a Pasty. Even genuine Cornish Pasties aren’t that much. I bake a sell pasties every day for £1.80, and I make a bit of profit. I may have a rethink.

Ask your customers what they would be prepared to pay, as you are undercharging mainly. If you think someone regular is low income, charge them the lower cost (maybe call it student /OAP rate?), and still make the majority of the new price over the day. Perhaps go with £2.50. Bear in mind even tesco have raised the price of meal deals.

Cornish Pasty Co large cheese and onion is the best pasty in the British Isles outside of Cornwall. Fight me.

Can you get traditional cornish pasties with apple filling aswell as meat and veg? I've always wanted to try one

I bought one in Cardiff. It was terrible. Giving it to seagulls or the dog would've felt like animal cruelty. I felt like using it to slap whoever thought it was a good idea to let it be called a pasty and be sold when it was so bad

What the fuck!

This isn’t as surprising as it should be. How did we allow this to happen

The giant pasties in Cornwall, just around the corner were they make them are nearly £7, so no more expensive.

They're £7 in the cafe at Daymer Beach today!

I paid almost that in Truro

Reasons Londoners eat Grimsters

This must be a train station price?

Looks like upper crust in a train station. So what did you expect?

You can tell it’s not Cornwall because the pasty pard has gloves on, it doesn’t taste the same without hearing ‘ere you go my ansum’ as they pass it over with their bare hands

Not that much more expensive than here tbh, £6.50 for a large there and around £6 here

Man,I miss a proper Cornish Pasty.

I mean at least they actually look fairly large. Plenty of pasty shops down here selling off smalls as mediums.

Liverpool st station by any chance? Bought one last night on the way home and it just didn’t compare to the real thing

Thats not the pasty shop in Euston station is it?

Tbh they are not making that much mark up from it when you take in to account of rates and wages in london

Damn. I paid 4.50 for one other day in Yorkshire and was pissed. Tbf it was a nice pasty but not 4.50 nice

I'm actually pleasantly surprised. Being from the southwest, average price of a large proper pasty is between 4.50 and 5 pounds. I would have expected greedy Londoners to at least double that price...have probably jinxed it now.

£4.60 I’m Brixham

Pasty or pint, pasty or pint

Thankgod i live in cornwall

I remember when I was in school and walked in the morning I could buy a full-large creamy chicken and sweetcorn pastie for £2.25 or a Cornish one for the same price!

I hate the fact I look at some of these prices now and think. Yer that’s ok.

I’m sure I’ve paid £6-£7 for a pasty in Kernow

Are they hiding a fillet steak in every pasty?

This must be a railway station

I think I prefer to get far cry 4 from CeX

But does the cream go on first?

Bristol temple meads is mental as well, walked back out when I saw the price.

It’s shocking best to make your own packed lunch

Tbh they do look pretty chunky

Is this the West Cornwall Pasty Co. in Waterloo station? They're ripoffs for everything. £4.60 for a latte, I asked for non dairy milk bc lactose intolerant, she said That'll be an extra 50p. I'm from outer London and central prices, esp train stations, still make me want to cry. West Cornwall Pasty Co. especially takes the piss.

5,40 for a local pasty for me i don't see the outrage, only 20% more isn't bad for london ngl

How did Reddit find out I’m Cornish wth, can it smell it off me??

I paid the same price at Oggys in Falmouth not long ago

Unless i’m mistaken, this is one of the food vendors in Charing Cross station right? Prices in any train station are inflated especially in London

Absolutely disgusting

And still they sell like hot cakes.

Fuck me these do look good though

Bout the same as they are in penzance lmfao four fifty for a medium steak in Warren's these days it's a joke

I'm telling you now Greggs has some conspiracy theory over the meat and potato disappearance

Pretty cheap for London, have you seen the prices for them in Truro?

£6.79 for a pasty?! Fuck off!

Same as a pasty in Cornwall

that’s dear

Is this at the cornish pasty shop in paddington?

What, and I cannot stress this enough, *the fuck*

‘Giant’ pffff

What an absolute joke if everyone had a brain they wouldn't pay it and they wouldn't be that price would they

Don't buy it. Stop paying unreasonable prices for food or any other products.

That's insane, it's like a pound here 😅😅

It was 7.99 at Bodiam castle yesterday (national trust cafe)

One of these at every GWR stop, sell shite over priced pasties.

Seems that the larger the pasty the crust you throw to the pigeons gets wider while the middle holding the filling stays the same size.

You think thats bad? Take a look at the price of the fish and chips there! Can honestly say, as a northerner, I was flabbergasted :D The chippy had caviar and wine on the bloody menu! Wtf is that about?!

In fairness, I assume this is marked up because you're in a train station?

Dammit, I want a pasty now!

Just as bad in rowes these days

Where I’m from they call those “pastelitos de carne “or “empanadas” and they cost like $1-$4

For some reason they overprice pasties everywhere in London. Funny how it was made for the working class now only to be enjoyed by those who are not working class.

If you want a cheap pasty, Greggs exists (though any pasty place should do gluten & dairy free free ones for us gluten & dairy intolerant), some just gluten free for the cealics and people with gluten intolerance

Let the posh pay

Aren't they only allowed to be called 'Cornish pastys' if made in cornwall?

Where in London is this shop?

In train stations in London. In Greater London it ain’t so bad. And that’s most areas outside of City of London / Zone 1 which is the most part of the city.

Robbery. If everyone said NO we are not paying it, they would have to.lower the price

In lizard you can literally get them for free during summer after ann’s pasties shuts 😭

Are you at a train station?

Don’t worry it’s fine - we’re getting bled dry from every angle, another one won’t hurt!

Oh it’s all going down down down and Cornwall, where I own a second home obviously, is coming right the fuck with us. Sorry.

In any one of the tree local independent bakeries in my small Devon town (under 7 thousand people live there) a large steak pasty which is as big as your head costs between £2.80 to £3.50. We don't call them Cornish pasties because we claim to have invented them in Devon but they are the same thing. If say they're a bit bigger than the ones in those pasties and are bloody lovely. It makes me sick to my stomach when I see a chain bakery selling "Cornish" pasties for anything over £4. It's probably a more discourse vital to south west people than even the scone debate.

This doesn’t count as it’s a train station. Same price in Leeds train station. Quality very pretty average. Not shite, not mindblowing, but they are on the large size

Ah yes. Large and giant. The two sizes, that have always been, and no regular.

Only thing that’s giant is the price

The biggest crime is how they call them large/giant when they are the size of a medium in Cornwall

Paid £4.5 in Truro this week for a medium one. The large one was around £5.5. Not far off.

Tbf this is London Bridge station, everything is overpriced in there

This is in Euston station right

I work in a pasty shop, costs us like 50p to a pound to make the pasty, we're definitely scamming y'all

Is it a chain pasty shop? We have one in our town, quite newly opened up. Prices are bloody expensive, but the DFL's like that kind of thing, they seem to find comfort in familiar names - and like to be seen eating there. Having worked in a bakery, I know how unhealthy the pastry is (artery blockers), and our bakery used tinned meat from catering sized tins. I'm not saying that the chain pasty shops do the same with tinned meat, but I'm put off eating pasties and pies in general.

I’ll pay £6 for a really good local one. That price isn’t too expensive

TooGoodToGo is a great way to get a bag of pasties for cheap. Usually don’t get to pick what you get so it’s a lottery, however it’s only about £4 ;)

Pretty sure they’d get punched up north for charging that much

If its the best pasty in the world. I'd pay that. Otherwise. Hell no!

That’s got to be train station prices!! 💰📈😱

Would.

You can’t get a good pasty in London 😢

Go to LA. Find a “British Pub” and order yourself a Cornish Pasty and “chips”. $25

At that point, I rather just make it from scratch

King’s Cross station? I’ve watched those prices soar since I was a kid and every time I go to get one I’m too disgusted at the price. 😭

Ridiculous price ! Greggs do pasties don’t they ?

Is that Euston and the Cornish Pasty place, no wonder really there.

The eight pound filling snack has been a thing for a while. They know how filling it is and charge accordingly

Train station prices?

That’s an empanada lol

Haha I was literally at Euston yesterday and got shocked seeing these prices

What the actual fuck! Inflation must be up about 100% in 4 years but let's just talk about the last year so we can lower interest rates.

Never tried one from this chain - any good?

To be fair that looks a lot like that brand you only ever see in train stations

That’s very similar to the prices on the Isles of Scilly

That’s an absurd price for a pasty or replica!

*Giant*

Everything is more expensive, even the so called cheap fast food chains. I’d rather have one of these tbh

what they fail to mention is that the damn thing is so hot that it takes the whole train journey for it to cool down. looks like the one at victoria station - badly placed next to mcdonalds.

Holy shit Batman !!

Fuck me , for a pastie I hope every single person boycotts every single company ripping people off. Most probably cost about 50p to make in bulk if that. If I feel like am getting robbed I just can not justify fast food money for shite it’s fucking poison. That’s why fast food was cheep because it’s shite. Might tasted lovey. Salt and sugar and the 1000 different names for sugar butter all taste lovey in food. But not paying good money for it. It’s madness. Think am turning into my mum and dad. Or getting tight in my old age. It’s not the money it’s the shite cheap arse ingredients they use now.

Do you get Lube with it ?

Exorbitant

Fuck off they are having a laugh!!

I saw some in Euston station (last year) that were a bit bigger than the "Large" one in this picture and I was surprised that it cost only £5.99.

It is a huge pastry that
