We don’t simply sell Cornish pasties. We capture the true taste of Cornwall.
Our family-run Cornish bakeries bring joy to lovers of genuine Cornish food by baking premium quality Philp's Cornish pasties. We use traditional methods and recipes, passed down our family for generations, to hand-make a Cornish pasty of legendary taste.Freshly baked every morning
We’re not a mass market producer, which means the production processes and quality of our pasties and wholesome bakery goods is never compromised. Ever.
We’re a Cornish family-owned and run business with family values at our heart. They’ve helped us face adversity together, shaped our commitment to hard work, and enabled us to keep our founder Sammy Philps’ original vision alive.
Our History
Sammy Philp the Grocer
Our Grandfather, Sammy Philp was the instigator of the Philp's Bakery family business. He was quite the character, straight as a die and never minced his words.
From 15 years of age he had his own hand cart from which he sold fruit and vegetables locally but his passion for groceries led him to supply Plymouth market in later years. Often you could see him in all weathers collecting the vegetables he needed. He would buy a whole field of broccoli and cauliflower and cut it himself by hand. He even did all the deliveries, 400 in total, from his Rascal van.
Everett Philp the Baker
Sammy’s cousin, Everett Philp was the baker of the family who began to make our delicious pasties. He was a funny man with a great laugh who was well loved in our home town of Hayle.
He was stick thin but fit as a butcher’s dog, weighing seven stone wet through. He possessed amazing skills and with his muscular arms, fashioned from years of needing and rolling, you’d hear the rhythmic banging of our bakery machine as he cut pasty shapes like a demon. In just three rolls he could turn a golf ball sized piece of dough into a perfect circle to form the pasty. He’d easily make close to 3,000 in a day - all rolled by hand.

Now Philp's Bakery is a thriving business run by Sammy’s grandchildren. Our youngsters now help peel the vegetables and prepare pasties before going to school. The staff members we employ are also from local families who have been with us for many years.
