Bread Street Kitchen & Bar Celebrates All Things Pastry With Cornish Pasty Week And British Pie Week

Cornish pasties will be celebrated in all their puffed up glory at Bread Street Kitchen & Bar from 23rd-29th February, while the much loved pie takes centre stage from 2nd-8th March

Dubai’s favourite British eatery will be taking diners on a journey back though time with a week-long tribute to the traditional Cornish pasty, while the following week is dedicated to the advent of the pie. Bread Street Kitchen is offering the perfect opportunity for diners to learn about all the different recipes that come with both varieties of these delicious pastry pockets.

CORNISH PASTY WEEK

With a range of savoury pasties priced at AED 95 each, as well as a sweet selection priced at AED 40 each, Bread Street Kitchen is inviting guests to try this British favourite a variety of different ways.

While the traditional Cornish Pasty is filled with beef, potato, onion and swede, Bread Street Kitchen will be putting its own unique spin on the dish with a creative line-up that includes wagyu beef with mushroom ketchup; chicken, corn and red peppers; spinach and ricotta; pecorino cheese and truffles; or steak and kidney with craft beer. Die-hard traditionalists will be pleased to hear that the original version will also feature on the menu. For desserts, guests can pick from an apple and berry pie, banana and custard or banana and Nutella. There will also be a signature cocktail pairing on offer, a ‘vino real’, which is infused with elderflower and lavender.

Thought to have been around since the 14th century, few meals have roots as deep as the Cornish pasty – believed by many to be the first real ‘convenience’ food. Originating as a calorie-filled portable lunch for tin miners, fishermen and farmers to take to work, housewives would make one for their husbands and mark their initials on one end of the pasty. The miners conveniently carried their pasties to work in a tin bucket which they heated by burning a candle underneath. The thick, wide pastry edges would be thrown away after eating the rest of their meal, to avoid being poisoned by tin or copper dust from their fingers. Today the pasty is one of Cornwall's most successful food exports, and an essential part of the holiday experience for 3.5 million tourists a year.

  • Time: 6:00pm-10:30pm (11:00pm Thursday and Friday)

BRITISH PIE WEEK

Taking place on the first full week of March, Bread Street Kitchen will be encouraging diners to try a variety of renditions of this this baked favourite with savoury dishes priced at AED 110 and sweet versions priced at AED 50. Paired with a signature cocktail, the gin smash basil features quintessential British ingredients like cucumber, ensuring guests enjoy a true taste of good ‘ole Blighty.

From traditional version such as steak and kidney with ale, to more out of the box creations like rogan josh lamb pie and a royal fish pie with brioche crumbs, diners are in for a hearty treat. They are advised to leave some space for what promise to be delicious desserts: blueberry and almond pie served with clotted cream and a delightfully indulgent banoffee and Italian meringue pie.

Producing a magic pasty takes a certain knack; it’s one the chefs at Bread Street Kitchen have mastered.
