Why Choose The Proper Pasty Company?
The Proper Pasty Company excels at what it does: handmade Cornish pasties with proper pastry, chunky Australian beef and generous veg that regularly impress even visitors from Cornwall. The owners Julian and Jen are welcoming and the menu spans sausage rolls, scotch eggs and pork pie, all made to traditional British recipes, with delivery and takeaway available to fit your day.
About The Proper Pasty Company
The Proper Pasty Company is a bakery in Neutral Bay that does one thing with real conviction: traditional British pastry. The pasties are handmade with hand-crimped pastry, locally sourced vegetables and Australian beef skirt, made with chunks of beef and generous veg. A visiting Cornishman reckoned they beat plenty he'd eaten back home.
The Cornish pasty is the star, though the steak and onion and the steak and kidney both have their fans, and the odd special like a rogan josh turns up now and then. Alongside them you'll find sausage rolls, scotch eggs and a pork pie that's often eaten cold in the traditional way. Prices are seen as good value for the quality.
Julian and Jen are the faces behind the counter, and they're friendly, down to earth and happy to help, whether you want one pasty or a big order for a party. They'll even offer a fresh-out-of-the-oven wait if you're keen.
The shop is a little tucked from the street, with the entrance on the side lane. You can take away, arrange delivery, or use kerbside or in-store pick-up, and there's free street parking nearby. Opening days are limited, so check the hours before you head in.
