New cafe bringing famous Cornish pasty to Wexford
A NEWLY-OPENED business called Juke Bakery & Cafe beside Mooney’s pub on Commercial Quay is bringing a tantalising taste of Cornwall to Wexford town.
The new business is run by Julie-Ann White from Cornwall and Kevin Murray from Dublin.
Julie- Ann has been using an old traditional recipe for the famous ‘ Cornish Pasty’ and brings with her the knowledge of what pasties are all about.
Kevin offers his own version of ‘Jest in a Vest’ (a sausage roll with a difference) so when the pair met, it was a match made in culinary heaven.
Juke Bakery & Cafe is open every day from from 7am to 5 p. m. offering an array of different savoury pies, cakes and gateaux, allowing people to grab a coffee and pasty on the run or sit in the medieval themed cafe and enjoy a delicious s ‘ Cornish Cream Tea’ consisting of scone, jam and Cornish clotted cream. The pasty menu includes the King Arthur ( steak and veg), Mordred ( chicken curry), the Guinevere ( cheese and veg) and the Camelot ( breakfast pasty of sausage, bacon, white pudding, mushroom and beans).
Juke serves an early risers takeaway breakfast from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. including Jest in a Vest and the Sir Galahad (egg and bacon pie).
The cafe also sells Saffron or Cornish fruit buns and features a King’s Quarter couch where diners are invited to relax and watch the busy world go by on Wexford quays.
Frozen pasties are available to take home uncooked and Julie-Ann and Kevin will give customers baking instructions so they can enjoy the tasty Cornish pies at home.
