Let me start by saying - these pastys are amazing!
So I don't live near Ashford and don't get to have these pastys that often, but when I know I'm heading in that direction its my first though for lunch.
I actually didn't have my own pasty for the longest time. My boyfriend started ordering one pasty, which quickly changed to two pastys and I would just nibble the crusts. My nibbling of the crusts progressed to actual bites until he could share no more and I had to order my own...!
I have tried a few different ones but my top three are; 1. Bacon, leaks and cheese. 2. Pork and apple. 3. Cheese. They also do the traditional pasty and others such as curry vegetables, Thai chicken and a special each month.
Because there is such a turn over, they always seem to be freshly cooked. Which means they have to be eaten slowly otherwise its really easy to burn your mouth.
Luckily my boyfriend doesn't like the crusts as much as me, so I get my pasty and his crusts!
Driving away the other day I said how cool it would be to buy them frozen and cook at home. I quickly corrected myself - yes it would be cool, but they wouldn't last the night! read more
