Thank you for the mention 🥰

A casual chat at the counter, a pasty, and a few months later... a West Cornwall charity is £3,000 better off. 🥧🚁

The Cornish Oven has just done something rather lovely, and you can meet the team behind it in Scorrier today.

Percy Pasty Rescued by West Cornwall Search & Rescue…..well Almost! 😅

We are absolutely delighted to support West Cornwall Search & Rescue Team both financially and physically with some pasties!

If you are unaware of this incredible charity and the work that they do, then please pop to meet them this weekend at our Scorrier pasty shop.

Saturday 30th May - 10am to 2pm
Sunday 31st May - 10am to 2pm

Through an informal conversation over a pasty many months ago, we realised how little we knew about this Cornish charity. Some weeks later we asked how we could help support them and it was decided that buying kit for new volunteers would make a real difference and so we did.

We have donated £3,000 to West Cornwall Search and Rescue and hope to share with you an awareness of this local charity.

Andy Brelsford the charity’s chair said:

“We’re thrilled to be working alongside the fantastic team at Cornish Oven. Our sincere thanks go to them and their loyal customers for supporting our charity and helping us make a meaningful difference for communities across West Cornwall. “

Here are some pictures of a training session at Carn Brea some weeks ago where it was flaky steaks all round. ☺️

The team are a wonderful bunch and we had a fantastic time chatting to them and learning more about the rescues that they make and the support they also give to many other local services.

Well done to all the volunteers!
We think you’re awesome!🤩 🥰

Festival survival kit:
Suncream, just in case.
Wellies, probably.
Glitter, definitely.
A proper Cornish pasty, absolutely.

If you’re heading to The Great Estate at Scorrier from 29–31 May, make sure you’re fuelled for the fields, the music and whatever wonderfully weird surprises the weekend brings.

Pop into The Cornish Oven and grab a flaky steak pasty before you go — baked just down the road at our Scorrier bakery.

Because festival food is great… but pasty power hits different. 🎪🥟

“Thank You Penzance”

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to the Penzance community for all the messages and support after the break in weekend of the 9th and 10th.

Penzance is a great place and we refuse to let this incident change the way we think and behave. From the messages we have had, it is clear that you feel the same. ☺️

The public have been incredibly helpful with information and cctv footage and the police are ongoing with their investigation.

The team in the shop have been incredible. Their determination to keep serving our loyal customers is something we are deeply grateful for every day. We are blessed to have them.

Thank you everyone. We will keep you posted.

TCO ❤️

Penzance Break-In Failed!!

A break-in at our Penzance pasty shop fails to stop the girls from baking pasties for their loyal customers!

Our Penzance pasty shop has been the victim of another break-in on Saturday night. Despite their best efforts, the offenders did not get away with a lot but sad to say, they did steal the tip jar of the staff who had a bumper day of tips.

We want to say a special thanks to the Penzance team, who despite the initial shock of finding the shop had been broken into, refused to let this stop them from getting on with the day ahead.

Their determination and tenacity is remarkable and we are very blessed to have them.

If anyone has any information to help with our investigations, please call our main office on 01209 214018.

Top hat? Ready.
Flowers? Ready.
Dance moves? Questionable.
Steak pasty? Essential.

Fuel your Flora Day the proper Cornish way with a flaky steak pasty from The Cornish Oven, right here in Helston.

With two Helston shops ready to keep you fuelled, there’s no excuse for dancing on an empty stomach. 🌸🥟

It’s May the Fourth.
A special, Star Wars day.
And this is our most desperate hour. "Help me, Oggie-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope!"

Only another anniversary at The Cornish Oven! 🥳

Ten year celebrations for Matthew who is a part of the pasty crew who hand crimp all of our pasties. Not only is he a great crimper but flexible enough to roll up his sleeves and help out in other areas when we need him.

Thank you Matthew for all you do and for those incredible jokes you entertain us with! 😂🤣
