Where to Get the Best Pasty in Marazion

2026-09-14·Marazion

Short answer: Philps Bakery is Marazion's pasty shop: big, well-filled and a few pounds each. Grab one and eat it on the beach wall looking at the Mount. Closed Sundays.

The answer: Philps

Philps Bakery is the village pasty shop — big, well-filled pasties at a few pounds each, from a name Cornwall has trusted for generations (the family bakery's roots are in Hayle, where the original still draws queues). There's no need to overthink it: this is where Marazion buys its pasties.

One rule: Philps here is closed on Sundays. Plenty of Sunday visitors have learned that the hungry way.

Where to eat it

Across the road and onto the beach wall, facing St Michael's Mount. A hot pasty, the island, the tide coming or going over the causeway — it's one of the great cheap lunches in Cornwall. (Eat it before the gulls notice you have it.)

If it's Sunday

Penzance is ten minutes along the bay and has its own options — our Penzance pasty guide covers them — or switch plans to fish and chips facing the Mount instead.

Around it

A pasty fits neatly into a Mount day: park, cross the causeway, and eat on the way back. More in the Marazion guide.

Small independents change hours with the seasons, and some close for a winter break — if one place is the whole plan, check before you go. Spotted something we've got wrong? Tell us and we'll fix it.
