About Proper Cornish
It all started in 1988 when three Cornishmen became disillusioned with so-called 'Cornish' pasties.
They decided to take a stand for Cornish heritage and quality so, taking a family recipe and working with local farmers, they started hand-crafting exceptional authentic Cornish pasties.
Today, we're still at the heart of Cornwall making pasties using the same traditional principles. Over the years the range has been extended to include new and exciting flavours, as well as a range of sausage rolls, slices and turnovers.
Part of a larger group since 2023, we look forward to a new chapter in the Proper Cornish journey, with new markets opening up in over 30 countries to all channels, including retail, freezer centres and foodservice.
