Why Tiddly Oggy?
"Tiddly Oggy" is an affectionate Cornish term for a pasty, used by miners who relied on these hearty, portable meals during long shifts underground. The thick crimped edge served as a handle—meant to be discarded after eating with dirty hands from the mines.
We chose this name to honor the rich heritage of the Cornish pasty while being transparent about our Australian roots. While we can't legally call our products "Cornish Pasties" (that designation is protected under UK/EU geographical indication laws for pasties made in Cornwall), we are completely committed to the traditional methods, recipes, and quality that make a true Cornish-style pasty special.
Filling the Gap Down Under
Australia has a love affair with pies, but let's be honest—most "pasties" here are really just meat pies in a different shape. They miss the rustic, chunky filling, the proper crimp, and that distinctive Cornish character.
That's where we come in. We're bringing authentic Cornish-style pasties to Australia, made the right way: hand-crimped, with chunky cuts of premium ingredients, proper seasoning (just salt and pepper—no fancy additives), and that golden, flaky pastry that's been perfected over generations.
Our Commitment to Authenticity
Traditional Recipe
Based on time-honored Cornish recipes: beef skirt, potato, swede (rutabaga), onion, salt, and pepper. No shortcuts.
Hand-Crimped
Every pasty is crimped by hand with the traditional side crimp. This isn't just for looks—it's part of the heritage.
Quality Ingredients
We source premium Australian ingredients. While we can't get them from Cornwall, we ensure every component meets our exacting standards.
Proper Technique
Raw ingredients go into raw pastry before baking. This is crucial for achieving the right texture and flavor.
From Our Kitchen to Your Freezer
We handcraft each pasty fresh, bake them to perfection, then snap-freeze them at peak quality. This means you get the authentic taste and texture of a freshly-baked Cornish-style pasty, ready when you are.
Simply heat from frozen in your oven or air fryer, and you'll have a genuine taste of Cornwall—made right here in Australia.
