The West Cornwall Pasty Company truly strive for excellence and have been recognised for this at The World Pasty Championships where they have previously won the World Champion for their traditional pasty two years in a row. Each one of their pasties is handmade using traditional ways. This is to help seal in the flavours, tastes and textures as much as possible. Their aim is to preserve the heritage of a meal that was originally invented for mineworkers many years ago. They still follow the same procedure today of baking them fresh each morning and packing them full of high-quality ingredients to set you up for the day ahead. Today almost 3 million pasties are sold in their stores and at sporting fixtures all over the country a year, they are the UK's largest pasty operation. Their traditional pasty is a best seller - but they regularly introduce new products to their stores and most recently have added some very popular vegan options as well.

The Crystal Palace was opened in an old lodging house in the early 1850s and its name is in honour of the Great Exhibition held at The Crystal Palace. It is said that when a well was dug in the backyard, to supply the brewery with water, they also found a hot spring that got capped on the agreement that they would offer a free supply of the water. Also, In 1981, the landlord back then uncovered some skeletons and even a Roman mosaic down in the cellar. They eventually decided not to move the mosaic, but to preserve it instead and It’s still down there today. This pub has a constantly changing range of drinks such as craft lager, seasonal ales, international and domestic spirits, exclusive wines and of course a wide range of ciders for you to sample.

The Raven of Bath is a traditional old English pub that offers traditional food, ales, ciders and wine. They pride themselves on great customer service and are located just off Queen’s Square in the centre of the small city. The pub was formerly two Georgian townhouses on a tucked away cobbled street and they now have 2 fully stocked bars to cater for all tastes. The earliest reference to the site was found on a map of 1735 and it showed a long narrow garden. The garden was probably lower than the surrounding streets as the Georgians were well-known for building cellars at ground level. They have a wide range of both domestic and international ciders available.
