The West Cornwall Pasty Co. Steak & Guinness® Pasty has been debuted as a new savory pastry product in the UK that gives the classic Cornish pasty a branded stout overhaul for fans alike to try out.
The pasty starts off with steak chunks marinated in Guinness paired with smoked bacon and vegetables, all served in a thick gravy. The filling is concealed inside a hand-crimped pastry shell that's flaky and glazed to give it the perfect bite to complement the meaty interior.
Head of Customer Marketing, Samworth Brothers - Food For Now Wayne Greensmith spoke on the West Cornwall Pasty Co. Steak & Guinness® Pasty saying, "Both West Cornwall Pasty Co. and Guinness are brands steeped in tradition and known for quality and craftmanship, so bringing them together felt like an incredibly natural fit. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with one of the most talked about, distinctive beers in the UK to elevate our range and recruit new consumers to the brand."
