Probably a strange one /long shot
I’m here for a week and want to know where to get the best pastie you lot have to offer.
Thanks in advance and if you’re ever in Essex I’ll show you the best place to get a spray tan!

It’s a tricky one, as it’s very subjective: ask a hundred Cornish people get a dozen recommendations – smaller/family bakers or better yet home-made ones are the best…
Here’s a link that contains most of the popular recommendations you’d receive: https://wearecornwall.com/be-inspired/blog/best-pasties-in-cornwall/
If you are only looking in Newquay, try Morris Pasties on Gover Lane or Jamies in Central Square.
PS: avoid spelling it “pastie” – the Cornish can be very particular about this kind of thing…
PPS: I’ll pass on the spray tan

Have no idea but I thought I’d take a look at the thread anyways. Then I laughed about your idea, I think I was expecting to read ‘let’s get together and jam’ vibes
Your second idea about if anyone ever comes to Essex made me seriously laugh. If I would’ve had a drink in my mouth it would’ve went everywhere!!!

Based in Hayle but not too far away would be worth a journey if you take in the North Cliffs and Hells Mouth

Philps are highly regarded flacky pastry is a good one not sure if there is a Philps in Newquay, but worth hunting down.Ask for a tatty or oggie if you want to speak the local lingo

Ha! Gotcha
Careful when eating your pasty you are not safe, at any given moment there are at least 7 seagulls eyeing it up and ready to swoop when you least expect it, usually they exploit your blind spot and attack from behind over your shoulder as you are about to take , good luck

My niece had to go to hozzy for 4 stitches and a tetenus jab after one of those evil fuckers dive bombed the chip going from her hand to mouth, sat outside the King’s Arm in Marizion.
BEWARE THE GULLS!!!
omg
The real question is jam or cream first…
