Who We are
Cornish Pasties Cornwall Roots
I am blessed to have an amazing, caring, loving mum, who is also my inspiration for my company, Sonsons Pasty Company.
I was born and raised in beautiful Cornwall, England where I lived for the first 32 years of my life. Mum and I worked together for many years in a bakery in Helston, Cornwall making the best pasties in the county. I feel like I’m the luckiest person alive to be given the opportunity to start my own business. We are using all our knowledge and pasty making skills to bring you our authentic, delicious handmade pasties.
