Warrens Bakery has once again elevated the classic Cornish pasty with its new Pork and Devon Red Cider Pasty, a delightful addition that is sure to intrigue both locals and visitors alike.

This innovative pasty, available in all Warrens Bakery locations throughout the South West, including Taunton, showcases a beautiful blend of tradition and modern flavour.

At first glance, the pastry is visually appealing - crisp and golden, exuding a tempting aroma that hints at the savoury goodness within.

Upon taking a bite, the well-seasoned pastry truly shines. It strikes the perfect balance between flaky and sturdy, holding together beautifully while providing that satisfying crunch. It’s a testament to Warrens Bakery's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

The filling is where this pasty really comes into its own. With the inclusion of award-winning cider from Devon’s Sandford Orchards, each mouthful bursts with flavour.

The meat is tender and juicy, featuring nice, hearty chunks of pork that provide a delightful texture. The flavour profile is reminiscent of Christmas stuffing, with fragrant herbs and spices that evoke warm, festive memories.

The addition of cider elevates the experience, introducing a fruity, wholesome note that complements the savoury filling perfectly.

It’s a unique twist that not only enhances the flavour but also pays homage to the region's rich culinary traditions.

Despite these exciting flavours, the Pork and Devon Red Cider Pasty still feels comfortably familiar, maintaining the essence of a traditional Cornish pasty.

The balance between the nostalgic and the novel makes it an excellent choice for those looking to switch things up.

Personally, I would choose this pasty over a standard Cornish pasty every so often, as it offers a refreshing change without straying too far from the beloved classic.

Warrens Bakery’s Pork and Devon Red Cider Pasty is a must-try for anyone in the South West. Its combination of crisp pastry, rich pork filling, and the delightful touch of Devon cider creates a wholesome, satisfying experience.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to grab one on your next visit - it's a pasty that promises to be both comforting and exciting, perfect for any occasion.
