The oldest Cornish pasty producer in the world, Warrens Bakery, is thrilled to launch a new Pork & Devon Red Cider Pasty, crafted using award-winning cider from Devon’s Sandford Orchards. The pasty, which is a collaboration between two of the South West’s best known brands, is now available from all of Warrens Bakery’s 39 stores across the West Country, South Wales and South East.
Shane Duheame, Shop Manager at Warrens Bakery Cullompton, says: “We are delighted to have worked with Sandford Orchards to create this fabulous summer pasty. Sandford Orchards is based in the oldest working cider mill in the country and produces real cider using traditional methods and apples from ancient local orchards, in Devon’s cider heartlands. Just like Warrens Bakery, they have their roots in the South West, so they were the obvious choice to add a cider zing to our pork pasty. This collaboration brings together Cornwall and Devon in a pasty and showcases the best of the South West!”
Shane continues: “While famed for our traditional Cornish pasty, we love to innovate and wanted to create something a little different to the usual pasty flavours this summer. This new pasty is made with a delicious hand crimped flaky pastry case, complete with a sage and rusk topping and is packed full of juicy pork, apple, potato and onion, all enhanced with a generous helping of Devon Red Cider.”
Barny Butterfield, Founder of Sandford Orchards, adds: “Pork and apples have always been a winning combination and we are delighted that our Devon Red Cider is adding an extra apple hit to this tasty new pasty. For centuries, a pasty and pint of cider has been considered the perfect pairing for a Westcountry summer lunch. Now the team at Warrens Bakery has brought that tradition bang up to date with their newest pasty recipe and we love it! We think it’s going to be hugely popular and perhaps even put pasties on the radar for those who have so far been ignorant of this historic local delicacy.”
Warrens Bakery is the oldest bakery in Cornwall and the oldest Cornish pasty maker in the world. Established in 1860, they have a rich heritage and are proud to put a firm focus on provenance, hand crafted skill, traditional favourites and innovation.
Founded in 2002, independent family-owned Sandford Orchards is based in Crediton, mid Devon in the oldest working cider mill in the UK and set in one of the most fertile parishes in all of Britain. They take a fresh, natural and low impact approach to producing cider and by combining tradition and innovation produce an award-winning range of core session, traditional, fine and fruit ciders.
