The Stargazy Pie can be traced back to the fishing village of Mousehole in Cornwall. Legend has it that the dish originated during a particularly harsh winter when a heroic fisherman named Tom Bawcock braved the stormy seas to catch a bounty of fish. To celebrate his courageous feat, the villagers created a pie featuring whole fish poking through the pastry crust, their heads raised towards the heavens—a whimsical nod to the starry night that accompanied Tom Bawcock's daring adventure.

 

THE STORY

Floating down from above are our latest collection of decorations.

Designed in-house, the decorations began life as pencil drawings inspired by characters seen on frescoes in early English country churches and antique folk-art toys. These sketches were then developed with skilled craftsmen in Mexico.

Tin work, known in Mexico as hojalata, goes back to the 16th century. Known as ‘poor man’s silver’, it is perfect for decorations; light to hang and catches the light beautifully with all the embossed detailing.
