Fowey's narrow streets hide a genuinely good pasty option worth knowing about before you commit to the first bakery you pass.
A properly hand-crimped edge and real chunked beef rather than minced filling is the marker of quality here as anywhere in Cornwall.
Crumbs Fowey does everything made on site, and while better known for its toasties, the pasty holds up to the same standard — worth asking what's fresh that morning.
Readymoney Beach or the town quay both make genuinely lovely spots to eat a pasty looking out over the estuary.
Fowey's narrow high street gets genuinely busy with sailing crowds in peak season — an earlier visit tends to mean better stock and less queuing.
Fowey's genuine yachting culture keeps demand steady through the season, which tends to mean fresher turnover at the better bakeries than in a purely seasonal tourist town.
Worth asking directly about vegetarian pasties, since the classic beef version tends to dominate the visible counter space in smaller shops.
