The patio outside has plenty of large picnic tables, with large umbrellas that offer up some shade. Upon entering the restaurant, you are met by a large wooden bar that dominates the space. Off to the sides is ample seating. The large print menu is up above the bar counter and you order there, then seat yourself, and food is brought to your table when it is ready.
As the name implies, the specialty at Eat My Pasty, is well, the pasty (pronounced pass-tee not pay-stee). A pasty is basically a type of hand pie, with a pastry crust that encases a delicious filling. The nine varieties of filling range from the traditional Cornish to vegetable curry. As I mentioned, the restaurant also offers fish and chips done right, with a choice of cod or haddock. The menu also includes lots of great looking burgers and salads.
I ordered a cheese, potato, and onion pasty, and a single piece of fish just to try it. My boyfriend was feeling adventurous, and ordered the Frankenstein burger special of the day. Made from elk, venison, and veal, this burger was awesome. Of course, we each had a portion of chips (fries) too. I could not resist ordering a dessert pasty to finish off the meal. The waffle berry pasty came with vanilla ice cream, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. It was to die for.
We sat outside, as the weather was nice. Though spacious, the patio has an intimate feel to it, with lots of flowers and greenery. Everything we ordered was delicious, and we cannot wait to go back to try something new. Check the restaurant out on Facebook, and online at www.eatmypasty.com. The website is very well done, and has lots of interesting history and information about the Cornish pasty, the owners, and the business. Pasties can even be ordered online for next-day delivery to your home.
