Cornish pasty cafe bakes hundreds of pasties for NHS staff during the lockdown

A cafe in Cornwall that has been unable to open during the coronavirus lockdown is now baking for NHS workers on the frontline.

Pengenna Pasties has made hundreds of Cornish pasties for medics and staff at three local hospitals.

• The West Country gives a round of applause for carers and NHS staff

• Key worker dad lives in the shed to protect daughter with muscular dystrophy

The cafe has not only been on a pasty mission - it has also been a centre for donations for the elderly and vulnerable in the community. Pengenna Pasties' owner gave Julie £200 to buy food for the local food bank. Staff have also bagged up donations for older people in the area, which have been distributed with the help of local doctors' practices.

The appeal for donations was prompted by Julie seeing a pensioner with an empty trolley at the supermarket.
