These figures scale directly from our own tested cornish pasty value (265 kcal per 100g). Real pasty weight varies a lot by maker, from around 110g for a smaller shop-bought pasty up to 250g or more for a large bakery one, so weigh or check the packaging of your specific pasty for an exact figure.

What Makes a Pasty's Calories Go Up or Down?

If a nutrition label is unreadable, the best estimate is the per-100g figure above scaled to your pasty's own weight, written on most packaging even when the detailed panel is smudged. What actually drives the total up or down is the ratio of pastry to filling and how rich the filling is: a traditional Cornish pasty's filling is beef, potato, onion and swede, so a meat-heavy filling with thick pastry runs higher in fat than a lighter, vegetable-heavy one. With 7.5g of protein per 100g, it's a moderate source rather than a particularly high-protein meal on its own. This entry is flagged for gluten as an allergen, and it's halal but not kosher, vegan or vegetarian.
