Ginsters has come a long way since Geoffrey Ginster began producing pasties from an old egg-packing barn in Callington, Cornwall over 50 years ago
Ginsters is now the brand leader in the savoury pastry sector, selling almost 2 million products each week, including our Cornish Pasty, which is the nation’s favourite.
Today we stay true to our Cornish heritage with our history and bakery in operation still in Callington.
We are proud of our heritage and commitment to Cornwall. We buy local ingredients where is it possible. Our potatoes, swedes and onions come from Jeremy at Hay Farm on the Rame Head peninsular, only 15 miles from our bakery. Its micro climate makes this the perfect Cornish spot for growing veg.
We only buy 100% Farm Assured British Meat and we never add artificial flavours, preservatives or colours. Our award-winning beloved Cornish pasty is the real deal and has Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status to prove it! It’s made with beef, potato, swede & onion and a dash of seasoning to provide that distinctive Ginsters peppery taste which is loved across the whole country, before being wrapped in 80 layers of light puff pastry. Do it any other way and it simply can’t be called a Cornish pasty!
We are a long-term partner to Plymouth Argyle Football Club and sponsor of Project 35, supporting the local community.
