Ginsters is the Number 1 Savoury Pastry Brand in the U.K.. Ginsters was founded by Cornish dairy farmer Geoffrey Ginster with his two sons Gerald and Barry. In August 1967, with a staff of four, Geoffrey Ginster started production of a first-class pasty from a 'secret recipe' obtained from a ship's cook. In the first full day of production, 24 pasties were made. The Samworth Brothers acquired the business in 1977 and set about growing and developing Ginsters into the national brand we see in the shops today. From humble beginnings, the company now produces around 3 million products a week from its' state-of-the art Bakery in the Cornish town of Callington and employs over 500 people. The company produces a range of 'food to go' products including it's flagship Original Cornish Pasty which was recently voted "The Nation's Favourite".
