I’m a Brit living in Munich so a well poured beer is something I know about. This place poured me one of the best pints I’ve ever had - yes I said EVER! I had a beautiful made to order traditional tender steak beef pasty which came with a divine red wine reduced gravy! No HP needed on this baby! Thank you Shaun my server! Btw: it was an Old Speckled Hen!
I’m not sure that “incredible” would be a big enough word to describe our experience here. We brought our 10 month old baby and were immediately welcomed with open arms. Our waiter was very sweet and offered us great recommendations. I enjoyed an amazing Manhattan and my husband enjoyed a Kentucky Mule. We got the chips loaded, the cottage pie pasty, the chicken pot pie pasty (it replaced the thanksgiving pasty) and the sticky toffee pudding. From start to finish the meal was incredible. The cherry on top was the owner who came and talked to us and said hi to the baby. He was so unbelievably kind and warm. We felt at home. I would go out of my way to travel back to Boston just to revisit this gem. I can’t say enough about the Cornish Pasty Co!
Amazing food, drinks, and service! Wes produced the most amazing espresso martini I've ever had, followed by a super refreshing and well-balanced Lion's Tail. The Bangers and Mash pasty was delicious; slightly pricey, sure, but the taste was superb and prepared perfectly by the kitchen. The service was excellent; Wes is super personable and takes his time to help find what you want, and is just a warm and welcoming person. Will be back the next time I'm on this side of Boston!
Casual British tavern that specializes in Cornish pasties.My friend and I recently came here to try Cornish pasties for the first time. The place was quite empty on a Sunday afternoon, and we were able to grab one of the booth seatings. We ordered two of their meat pasties including the Oggie and the pepper steak with swiss cheese.Since we didn't have a lot of experience with Cornish pasties, we couldn't tell whether they were authentic or not. Regardless, both were good, and my favorite was the pepper steak pasties which had tender chunks of steak tips that went well with the peppercorn brandy cream sauce. The only letdown was the portion size which we found to be small for the price.
Wes the bartender server is so wonderful. He helped me pick the perfect beer (Old Cornish Hen) to compliment my cottage pie pasty. The food is delicious and conforming. The atmosphere is homey and perfect. Go there.
The pasties are delicious and the folks are so nice and welcoming! However, as some other users mentioned, the price is astonishing :( 30$ for a pie, that is not so big... If it was $15 that would be okay. Heck, if it was $20, it would still be okay! But for that price it's just too expensive. I'd love to come back some day, but not sure...
Have had this place on my “want to go” list for a long time but am taking it off after seeing that it’s now $30 for a pasty. That’s just a stunning price, plus tip and tax of course.I’m very sorry if a small business can’t survive these days with reasonable prices, it’s really pretty sad. But as a consumer I am COMPLETELY priced out with an eye-watering price like that.Would have loved to try this place.
I have eaten here several times in the past few years and was shocked to visit and see that prices have increased by 70%. While the food is yummy, it’s not worth $30 at all. I understand that inflation and the pandemic are factors in the pricing but this increase is wild considering what you get - a pasty with no sides that isn’t really a meal on its own? I’ve seen that management has tried to justify this increase in other review comments. However, one has to question their business model and prowess if keeping doors open required such a steep price hike? Hope this price increase isn’t permanent and that management can find other solutions.
Very personable employees, great pint of Guinness and the pasties were fabulous. Unmissable, not forgetting a great pint of Speckled Hen.
Great vibe right on Massachusetts Avenue. There is outdoor seating in the spring and summer, but they are not pet friendly.There is a good selection of beer with five or six draft lines of varying styles, one of which is Guinness and poured well.The pasties are quite expensive. Not sure why that is, but maybe it would be better to make smaller ones that are a little less eye watering price wise.

My pasty was delicious: tasty filling and a nice crisp crust. The sauce it came with was good too.It wasn't busy while I was there. The staff were friendly and attentive.For a small restaurant, the beer selection was refreshingly wide, not like most places these days that only seem to have IPAs and a few lagers. I had an excellent Scotch Ale (one of two on the menu), but the beer list also included brown ales, porters, stouts, and even a double.Note that in the current crazy times of inflation and supply chain issues (July 2022), they've not kept the prices in their menu up to date. Brace yourself for some sticker shock.
This place is awesome! Super friendly staff and great pasties! The best pasty I’ve ever had! Great English pub atmosphere too! Not touristy and very authentic!
Great beer selection! The pasties are amazing! And the service is friendly & fun. A must go for us on every trip to Boston!
I like Cornish pasties a great deal and haven't had one in a while. Had the vegan tikka pasty, as well as small helpings of both banoffee pie and sticky toffee pudding (recommend). Very English.
What can I say about this place… I’m British, the only British thing about it is the fact they claim to serve Cornish pasties. Their OG pasty was big chunks of meat, not minced, too much onion and generally weird tasting. The pastry on it was good tho. The fries were inedible and were chewy. We asked for HP sauce and got BBQ sauce. The British beers that are meant to be served warm were served cold and also weird.all that for about 80$. Gunna go to east Boston next time for my pies. They’re Australian but at least it’s closer to British than this.Also if you’re going to represent British food in the US and want British people to come. Maybe don’t have a massive advert for a drink called a “car bomb” outside the store. It’s not a “funny drink name” for British people and quite frankly was a scary time for the people of London.So overall.. this place is not British, the food was overpriced and it is in no way representative of British food or Cornish pasty’s. Avoid
