A touch of East London and Cornwall at The Cornish Pantry

This pantry cafe is hard to miss with its rainbow design and there is an abundant choices of cafes to try but this had to tried first because they serve pie mash with liquor and Cornish Pasties.
Inside, you are greeted with these lovely old wooden chairs and tables as well as black and white photos on the wall.
Ordering the pie mash liquor was a must and a Cornish Pasty to follow but there were so many choices.
In the end, we got the lamb and mint.
The staff at the cafe know the pie mash etiquette as they give you a spoon.
Trying the pie mash first, I was impressed with the liquor because you can taste the eel in it as well which gives it that salty kick and then the minced meat which was coarse but not too fatty.
Later we found out that the pie mash liquor came from G Kellys in East London which is one of the places I've visited for eels so that is another pie mash visited for me.
Moving on to the Lamb and Mint pasty, I was instantly impressed because it was traditional as you can see the layers of suede and potatoes beneath the lamb.
The mint flavouring was not quite strong so it still tasted like a traditional Cornish Pastry with a light lamb and mint influence to it.
Overall, I am so glad to have tried this place and impressed with their pie mash offerings.
