That Ginsberg pasty was full of potato, there was very little swede. The meat was certainly not beef skirt. I’m not Cornish but I would not rate Ginsters compared to a real proper Cornish Pasty from a real Cornish bakery.
I don't care if its commercial but I do enjoy the West Cornwall Pastry company in Train stations. Very filling and meaty. Large plain or steak and cheese.

As a Cornishman, living in Devon, the Cornish prefer to have their pasty from a local baker or butcher. But to be fair Ginsters is not bad as a second choice if desperate and they do use local produce. Their slices and things are also good.

Hi! I'm Cornish, and we don't really eat Ginsters that much; most towns have bakers that do their own pasties (our local butcher does them as well!), that are far superior :) But Ginsters is all right, if you're late and all the bakers have sold out! I'm afraid the story about miners holding their pasties by the crimp is probably a legend; old photos show them holding their pasties in a bags or cloths; we've tried eating them holding them by the crimp, and it's really not practical. Hot or warm is proper for pasties, and they should be quite peppery, Ginsters do have that right. Always love someone brave enough to take on the Cornish pasty, as you've worked here, you know what we're like about our pasties! Things can get very heated quite quickly; I'm awaiting other Cornish people in the comments telling me how wrong I am about everything XD

As a true Cornishman, i can say we use Ginsters pasties fr many things. They are great to wedge under your car's tyres if you have a flat to stop it running back. Also great if your leveling a shed to get the corner up.We use them for things like target practice although this is becoming uncommon due to ricochets and shooting ranges banning them. They make great boat fenders and are the perfect meal to serve someone you don't like and don't want to return. I think what I'm trying to say is as a Cornishman id rather sh!t in my hands and clap then eat one of those things. Many a BBQ has been ruined by a change in wind direction in Callington too.

You could say that Ginsters is the BigMac of cornish pasties. What I mean is that they are widely available and consistently 'ok' ~6/10. However, having grown up a few hundred yards across the Tamar from Cornwall (with Cornish relatives) I can say that homemade or local bakeries are FAR better. The best one I ever had, was whilst camping as a youngster on a farm near Lamorna Cove. The farmers wife made pasties daily for her massive adult sons - based on her grans recipe (a mining family). One day when we got back from the beach, there was one waiting for me. It was absolutely HUGE, and memorably delicious. Interestingly it was 2/3rds traditional (savoury), and 1/3rd sweet (apples). She said that the 'pasty' was basically a food container - and they would vary the contents a bit to provide variety, and historically it was also based on what was seasonally available. Forty years, and many hundreds of pasties later, that pasty has never been beaten. But I am still on the quest...😂

Twice in my life, both times years ago, I lived near bakers who made their own pasties on the premises. The taste difference between a still hot, freshly made pasty, and a cold one is surprising. I don't like a pasty or pie that has no liquid in it when hot, and I no longer buy Ginsters because they have such a strong taste of pepper. I find the salt and pepper overwhelming.

When I used to work in Aylesbury, there was a baker's shop about 25m away from our office front door. I'd pop in there to get something for lunch as it was so close and reasonably priced. A couple of hot dogs in buns with English mustard, or their pasties. Being in Bucks, they weren't the traditional type where the crimp was on the side. These were smaller with the crimp down the centre. They were very tasty though. They also did lovely Chelsea buns. This was back in the late 80's so I'm sure they're long gone now. I don't mind a ginsters. I've been trying to find a way to get them here in the US but to no avail so far. I'll probably go looking up the recommended you tube video and have to put a pinny on and roll up my sleeves.

Had a similar experience to you in my youth. I was painting a house behind a pub down near the Severn and went into the pub, while I was (ahem) waiting for some paint to dry and they had pasties delivered from Cornwall on a pasty run for various pubs. They were huge at two shillings each and just amazing. Ginsters don't really compare, but are pretty tasty, as they seem to do something right with their lovely pastry and the moistness of the filling with plenty of seasoning. I think of them more as vegetarian, as there is very little meat content, but great when you're starving.

Search "Martin Tennant Cornish Pasty" and it will be easily found. It's of Martin Tennant's mother making a 'proper' Cornish Pasty,. Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because his mother (Diana) criticises Ginster's during the course of the video series, which goes some way to answering the question.

Because Pukka Pies now also do a big beef pastie at a similar price and by comparison Gingsters presentation was dull although quite classy. I've had some really dry, duff Cornish pasties in Cornwall, but never a bad one from the Cornwall based Gingsters. You might not like their black pepper, but it is a quality item. Hot and cold are so different. I prefer them hot. Wish they'd do a sweet 'pastie' also. The multi packs of 4 slightly smaller Gingsters pasties are pretty good value for the same quality. Thanks!

Ginsters supermarket pasties are mainly for anyone beyond Cornwall, although some who live here do eat them but only out of convenience, as a general rule of thumb Cornish people will eat other pasties in preference to Ginsters. BUT Ginsters do sponsor or support some sports here and the pasties they supply are totally different to the one you have reviewed, they have certainly improved in the last couple of years. Personally I prefer my pasties to be made with shortcrust pastry. So yes we do eat them - occasionally!!!

Stir in the rest of the butter and water and bring it together to form a soft dough. Knead briefly until smooth, roll out into a rough rectangle and Fold up the bottom one third and then fold down the top one third wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes. Unwrap the dough and roll it out again into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Fold up the bottom one third and then fold down the top one third and roll out once more. Repeat this process until all the pieces of fat have disappeared. Fold up the dough once more, wrap it in cling film and chill for another 30 minutes. For the filling, cut the swede and potatoes into 1 cm thick slices, then each slice lengthways into 1 cm thick ‘chips’. Cut these across into 5mm thick pieces. Mix the swede, potatoes, onion and steak together in a bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Roll out the dough once more on a floured surface until it measures 3mmthick and cut out 4x 20 cm discs. Spoon equal amounts of the mixture into the centre of each pastry disc and lightly brush the edge of one half of the pastry disc with water. Bring the edges together over the top of the filling and press together well. Then, working from left to right, fold in the corner and then fold 2 ½ cm of the edge inwards. Fold over the next 2 ½ cm and continue like this along the edge, to create a rope-like design which will seal the pasty. Put them onto a greased baking sheet and brush them with beaten egg. Chill for 1 hour then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Bake for 1 hour, turning them around after 30 minutes so they all brown evenly. Serve warm.

Hi mate, had one of those the other day and I'm addicted to them lol, they are good and I love the peppery kick. I did mine in air frier and done it at 150°c for around 5 mins just to heat them up and I'm now going to go to shop and get one right now lol. 👍

As a Lincolnshire lad who used to holiday in Cornwall I prefer local bakery pasties to ginsters whick I find a bit to peppery. We always came away from Cornwall with a tray of pasties as we loved them

Cornish people eat Barnecutts pasties. When l lived in Plymouth Devon 40 years ago, it was lvor Dewdney's pasties if in town or Ron Dewdney's if near Devonport Dockyard. A filling lunch, happy days!

Are Ginsters not actually based in Devon? I know they used to sponsor Plymouth Argyle FC. I don’t mind a Ginsters at all to take off a shop shelf for convenience but homemade ones are far better! Top video once again mate! …. Smithy

The only thing I dislike about Ginsters pasties is the quality of meat is not always great. Several times I have found grisley bits which does tend to put me off.

Happy Sunday Gareth, so glad to see one of my families favourites 😊. Ginsters whole range of baked goods are fabulous.,and at least once a week we have one tasty snack from them for tea.Only 1 tiny quibble, the meat content shoulb be thin sliced skirt beef,and not minced beef. Now a funny thing Gareth, i can't eat one cold from the packet😢But,reheated at home,left to cool?Next day beautiful cold picnic or lunch snack. Someone told me its about molecules getting mixed up 😮 What the wife says about pasties&me can't be put on youtube 😂😂😂😂. Over the coming months you could review other items on the Ginsters list😊keep the new lifestyle going uou look well on it ❤❤ Cheers Allan&Family 😊

I have just searched for the top ten pasty makers in Cornwall and Ginsters is nowhere. I have been to Cornwall many time and Ginsters are virtually unobtainable because they have the local pasty as competition. They may sell outside Cornwall but the Cornish people don't buy second best.

Hiya Gareth great vid brought back fond memories of the 80's and 90's always had them for my work lunch sometimes 2 depending how hungry I was though they were better then with the thick edge rolled like a proper cornish pasty and slightly bigger but always full of filling and obviously very tasty think they used to be about 80p then dont like how they are now crimped edges the extra rolled edge gave you that little extra filling up too was my favourite part too 😋 yum yum. Way too expensive now though and with that spoiled look go for cheaper alternatives these days just as tasty but downside is a bit lesser filling compromises heigh!! Keep your vids coming great work Gareth 👍👍

As a Boltonian living in Denmark, the thing I miss the most are pasties and pies, pies pies pies - swirling past my eyes as I dream . I had a Ginsters pasty once from a service station on one of my visits to the UK - we ate it cold, I say we, it was the wife and I - after finishing the pasty, the wife informed me that she wanted a divorce - now I have no evidence that the pasty was to blame - nor do I blame Ginsters - however seeing as I am now wifeless and living in a small shed at the end of my friends garden - I still do miss pasties.

I am not surprised that a lot of Cornish people on here are saying they don’t eat Ginsters pasties, not because there is anything wrong with Ginsters, but because no mass-produced pasty, pie, etc, will be as good as a home-made one, or one made by a local butcher or baker. I am in Scotland and it is the same with bridies and mutton pies, the supermarket ones just don’t compare. As mass-produced pasties go, though, I think Ginsters are about the best available.

Looks really good! The one thing about Ginsberg is they are consistent in quality. The last time I was in the UK they were two for the price of one in Tesco. The first one never ever survived the car park! Very good value for money. It is a little unfortunate that a lot of the “traditional” bakers and butchers are charging a fortune for something similar. I have now managed to source Swede here and am managing to make some myself! Nothing wrong with Ginsberg at all!!

Ginsters pasties are easily the best mass produced ones and knock the spots off supermarket bakery offerings. I used to eat far too many Ginsters for lunch at work. I've had some very average pasties from bakeries in Cornwall, and some amazing ones too.
