Great Western Railway has announced it is once again helping celebrate Cornish Pasty Week for 2019.

The train operator is teaming up with Bodmin-based pasty producer ‘Proper Cornish’ to give away free pasties to customers on-board selected GWR services in Cornwall.

As part of the series of events taking place to celebrate Cornwall’s iconic culinary creation, GWR passengers will be offered complimentary pasties on-board services between Falmouth and Truro as well as on Intercity Express Trains operating between Penzance and Bodmin Parkway.

Cornish Pasty Week (25th February – 3rd March 2019) is an initiative by the Cornish Pasty Association. The Cornish Pasty Association is a British trade association, based in Cornwall.

What did the officials say?

Chair of the Cornish Pasty Association Jason Jobling said:

“The Cornish pasty has been bringing people together all over the world for generations and it’s fantastic to see the way in which Cornish Pasty Week is helping to maintain that tradition. It’s also proving to be a great way of bringing organisations together; the way in which GWR has got involved from the start has been amazing and we know their passengers enjoy Cornish Pasty Week too.”

GWR Managing Director Mark Hopwood said:

“We’re proud to help promote Cornish Pasty Week. GWR is always keen to support communities along our route and this week-long celebration is a great way of recognising such an important industry to Cornwall. We hope more people will be inspired to visit Cornwall, taking advantage of our new Intercity Express Trains.”
