From golden, flaky pasties to indulgent cream teas piled high with clotted cream, the county has a culinary identity that is loved across the UK.
But what if you could enjoy those flavours without travelling hundreds of miles?
That’s exactly what The Cornish Company aims to deliver, quite literally.
Bringing Cornwall to the Rest of the UK
Founded by two Cornish entrepreneurs with a passion for their home county, The Cornish Company was created with a simple goal: share the taste of Cornwall with people everywhere. Their mission was to build a community of people who love traditional Cornish food as much as they do.
Since launching, the company has grown into a fast-expanding e-commerce brand specialising in Cornish food hampers delivered nationwide, helping customers experience authentic regional food without leaving home.
The idea taps into something very British: the joy of a proper cream tea.
The Classic Cornish Cream Tea Experience
A traditional Cornish cream tea is delightfully simple, but incredibly satisfying. It usually consists of freshly baked scones served with strawberry jam and rich Cornish clotted cream, accompanied by a good cup of tea.
The Cornish Company packages this iconic treat into postal hampers that arrive ready to enjoy.
A typical cream tea hamper might include:
Freshly baked scones
Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream
Strawberry conserve
Cornish tea
Traditional Cornish biscuits
Some hampers also include handmade steak pasties, combining two of Cornwall’s most famous foods in one box.
The result is a ready-made afternoon tea experience that can be enjoyed at home or sent as a thoughtful gift.
Hampers That Make Perfect Gifts
Food hampers have become increasingly popular for birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations, and Cornish-themed hampers offer something a little different from the usual chocolates or flowers.
The Cornish Company allows customers to:
Choose a delivery date
Add personalised gift messages
Send hampers anywhere in the UK
With options ranging from classic cream teas for two to larger party hampers packed with pasties, biscuits and sweet treats, there’s something for almost any occasion.
Supporting Cornish Food Heritage
Another appealing aspect of the brand is its commitment to sourcing from Cornwall. The company works with local suppliers to showcase the region’s food traditions and artisanal producers.
In doing so, each hamper acts as a small celebration of Cornish food culture, from its famous dairy products to its beloved pastries.
A Little Box of Cornwall
Whether you’re missing the Cornish coast, planning a cosy afternoon tea at home, or looking for a unique food gift, The Cornish Company offers a simple idea done well: authentic regional food delivered straight to your door.
And if you do order a cream tea hamper, remember the golden rule of Cornwall…
Jam first. Always.
An interesting personal aside, apparently I have always made my cream teas in the jam first Cornish style, but I just didn't know it!
