What the seller’s “Best-Selling” label confirms
Chunk of Devon’s product title calls this its “Original Best-Selling Pasty Selection Box of 8.” That is a direct seller designation, not an independent sales audit: the listing does not disclose how many boxes sold or the period covered by the claim. The current page lists the box at £34.80 and says it is sold baked and frozen. The contents are eight pasties: two Steak, two Cheddar and Onion, two Chicken and Chorizo, and two Butter Chicken. That mix gives a household or small gathering four filling styles in one order. It is not an all-vegetarian assortment: only one of the four varieties is described as cheese and onion, and buyers who need a specific diet should read the ingredients for each flavour rather than infer suitability from the box name.
Cooking and freezer planning
The seller’s instructions say to keep the pasties frozen. From frozen, it gives an oven guide of 190°C / Gas Mark 5 for about 40–45 minutes, or an air fryer at 170°C for about 35 minutes. It asks customers to make sure the centre is piping hot, then leave the pastry to rest for five minutes. Its page advises against microwaving because the pastry may turn soggy. Equipment and portions can vary, so follow the current packet directions and adjust only as those instructions allow. Because the box arrives baked and frozen, it needs freezer space and planning around the delivery date. The listing says to put the parcel in the freezer as soon as it arrives, and not to refreeze once a pasty has defrosted. The seller’s storage guidance says to use defrosted pasties the same day if frozen, or keep chilled below 5°C and use within five days once defrosted; check the package for the applicable instructions.
Allergens and ingredient checks
The product page lists wheat, sulphites and milk as allergens, and says the pasties are made in kitchens that also handle eggs, soya, milk, nuts, mustard and sulphites. The box therefore is not suitable for someone avoiding wheat or milk, and possible cross-contact matters for anyone with a severe allergy. Read the latest full ingredient list for each of the four fillings before ordering; the seller’s page includes separate ingredients and nutrition panels. The listed pastry recipes contain different ingredients, including beef, chicken, chorizo, cheese, onion, potatoes, spices and dairy in some fillings. If a dietary requirement or allergy affects your order, confirm the current recipe and handling information directly with Chunk of Devon before checkout. A promotional coupon does not change ingredient or cross-contact information.
Price, delivery and verdict
At the time checked, the box was £34.80. Chunk of Devon lists a £30 minimum order and £5.95 postage for orders below £45, with free delivery above £45. It says deliveries run Tuesday to Friday and are sent by next-day courier, but customers must enter a postcode and choose a date; the seller excludes Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands and Islands, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands. Check the live delivery page for your address and current dates before ordering. The box’s clear advantage is variety: eight frozen portions across four fillings, with straightforward oven and air-fryer guidance. The practical trade-offs are the freezer space, the bake time, the delivery threshold and the listed allergens. This is a source-based review, not a tasting report.
