Short answer: For the best pasty in Redruth, go to Brays & K's on Nettell's Hill (Monday to Saturday, 9am–3pm): visitors who've tried pasties all over Cornwall rank it first. Berryman's Pednandrea Bakery is the old-school favourite, Prima at Scorrier has its own car park and opens daily, and Rowe's is on Fore Street.
Redruth is pasty country. The town's bakeries don't do branding or queues round the block; they just make pasties that people who've eaten hundreds rate the best in Cornwall.
A small shop that reviewers repeatedly call their number one: melt-in-the-mouth pastry, proper steak, swede and potato, and plenty of pepper. They now do hot drinks and cakes too. Monday to Saturday, 9am–3pm. Brays & K's Pasties, Redruth
A Redruth institution with regulars going back to the 1970s: pasties, steak and kidney pies, bread and cakes, plus frozen pasties to take home (and mail order). Monday to Friday 8am–3pm, Saturday 8am–2pm. Berryman's Pednandrea Bakery, Redruth
Just outside town at Scorrier, with its own car park, so it's the easy stop on the way to or from the A30. Well-filled pasties, buttery sausage rolls, cakes and frozen packs, at prices that surprise people. Open daily. Prima Bakeries, Scorrier
The Cornish chain's Redruth branch, reliable and consistent, with seating if you want to eat in. Monday to Saturday, 8am–4:30pm.
Portreath Bakery at Lanner does a gluten-free pasty that reviewers rate highly; they're frozen, so call about an hour ahead to have one baked. More across the county: gluten-free and vegan pasties in Cornwall.
If you only try one, make it Brays & K's. If you're driving, Prima. If you want to take a box home, Berryman's.
