Why Pasty?

People are always looking for new and delicious foods. SloCo Pasty Co is excited to bring pasties to you! The delicious pasty became popular in the 1700s with miners. Miners would bring pasties to eat during their long work days because they were portable, nutritious and filling.

SloCo Pasty Co will not only serve pasties, but will also bring provide a casual dining experience at our English/Irish pub. Pasties will include a variety of fillings with meat, vegetable and dessert options. When you get thirsty, we will be sure to keep you satisfied with our beer on tap and local wines. We can't wait to share our menu with you.

What is a pasty?

Pronounced “Pass-tee”- A full meal wrapped in a delicious pastry casing filled with meat, fish, vegetables, or dessert!


The story of Cornish pasties dates back several hundred years. In fact, no one is really sure when the first pasty was actually made. The oldest known recipe on record for pasties dates to 1746 and is registered with the Cornwall Records Office in Truro. So, we are pretty sure that they started in Cornwall, England. Pasties became a staple of the diet for the hard-working tin miners of Cornwall in the 19th century. The pasty provided a convenient way for the miners to get a full meal while working in the mines. The distinctive crimp braid was an important part of the pasty. You see, the minors were covered with dirt and, even worse, arsenic from the tin mine. The braid provided a handle so the miners could hold the pasty without touching what they were eating. When the miners were finished, they would throw the braids into the mine to appease the “knockers” which were devilish spirits that would lead the miners to harm if not appeased. Don’t worry, we’ve got better ways of dealing with knockers, so go ahead and finish yours.

We will be selling a variety of pasties at our new restaurant in downtown San Luis Obispo.

We longed to find the perfect pasty and wished we could find it on the Central California coast, the most beautiful place on earth. Well, we couldn’t, so we set about doing it ourselves.

We hope you love our pasties and agree with us that a hot pasty and a cold beer or a glass of wine makes the Central Coast just a little bit more perfect. No time to eat it here? Take one to go or get one of our frozen pasties and enjoy it whenever you want.
