Ginsters is the Number 1 Savoury Pastry Brand in the U.K.. Ginsters was founded by Cornish dairy farmer Geoffrey Ginster with his two sons Gerald and Barry. In August 1967, with a staff of four, Geoffrey Ginster started production of a first-class pasty from a 'secret recipe' obtained from a ship's cook. In the first full day of production, 24 pasties were made.
