Just to be clear, the WCPC pasties are made in Cornwall - they are shipped to outlets daily, to be cooked at the concession.

As it happens, they and Ginsters have a common owner. But if you can't find a WCPC in a location that suits, I'd suggest looking for an alternative like The Pasty Shop (a slightly dearer and not quite as good alternative, that jostles WCPC for space in travel hubs) or, if pushed, from the ubiquitous Gregg's. It won't be quite the same, but still streets ahead of Ginsters.
