Proper lovely pasties. And other tasty treats inc. sausage rolls, cake, tea, coffee, etc. My large steak pasty was really fine and filling too. Smashing!

Brilliant place, very close to the Avon river, and 100% sure I can tell this is the best pasty shop in town. Moreover, if you are a frequent customer can have a stamp card, that will release a giant free pasty when completed.

Excellent place for the traditional Cornish pasty and other really delicious pasty snacks. Real friendly staff and a great part of the welcoming Bristol City culture for visitors leaving temple meads foot bridge. Easy to find for temple mead dwellers and visitors. Only thing that let its self down is no toilets, but hey Temple meads is just located a couple of minutes walk for toilets. When you see where it is its easily acceptable.

Great lunch option. 10/10 Bengali Beef pasty it's the best one if they have it on special.

Possibly the best-priced coffee in Bristol. Lots of veggie options. Brilliant staff

Delicious Red Thai Chicken Pasty! The pastry is so light and fluffy and makes eating the handle tasty rather than that stodgy bit that you don't want to waste. As for the filling, super tasty with a little kick. Perfect for a cloudy day when you need a quick hot lunch!

Fantastic local Pasty shop, which also do excellent breakfast sandwiches and rolls, which are reasonably priced. The staff here are great and very friendly. I always ask for the bacon to be cooked crispy and this is always done to perfection.
