Cornish BakeHouse

Kadina is the largest of the three Cornish copper towns, and this Graves Street bakery is its long-standing pasty specialist. The traditional Cornish pasty is the anchor, its vegetable-and-meat filling wrapped in flaky pastry, flanked by sausage rolls, cakes, slices and biscuits, with sandwiches and rolls made to order and coffee to take away. It keeps ordinary bakery hours, closed Sundays, and works as a workaday counter for the town rather than a tourist set-piece, which is part of why locals and passing travellers rate it as Kadina's best. For anyone tracing the pasty across 'Little Cornwall', it is the Kadina counterpart to Moonta's better-known bakeries: proof the tradition is still made fresh daily in each of the old mining towns.
