Sarah's Pasty Shop

South Cornwall


Much-loved Looe pasty shop, now run by Sarah's daughter Lucy, with some non-standard variations including lamb, mint and leek, chickpea and lentil, and a 'breakfast fry-up' (with sausage, beans, egg, bacon and tomato). As usual, the traditional pasties are the best – but it's worth turning up on 'Fishy Friday' for the rather good mackerel, horseradish and pea pasty.
