Prince William takes a pasty order on the phone while visiting Gear Farm on the Lizard peninsula and gets her name wrong(Image: PA)<\/p>\n
Prince William got the name of a customer wrong when he tried his hands at making and selling pasties at one of Cornwall’s best known pasty-making farms.<\/p>\n
The Duke of Cornwall is in the county on St Piran’s Day as part of a double public engagement to “highlight community resilience and the hard work of those who responded during and after Storm Goretti”.<\/p>\n
During his visit to Gear Farm on the Lizard Peninsula, where he was accompanied by Lord Lieutenant for Cornwall Col Sir Edward Bolitho, Prince William talked to members of the public and to the owner of Gear Farm, David Webb, before trying his hands at making a traditional Cornish pasty.<\/p>\n
He joked with staff how his wife Catherine would have made a better job at crimping the delicacy before taking phone orders from customers.<\/p>\n

My pasty looks like a crab.”<\/p>\n After making his pasty and perfecting his crimp, the Duke served locals pasties from the Gear Farm hatch, even picking up the phone at one point for a customer’s order.<\/p>\n It was while on the phone to a customer that he called her ‘juicy’ when she’s called Josie as she ordered 10 frozen pasties and five cooked ones from the Prince but didn’t know who she was speaking to.<\/p>\n As he asks for her name, he repeats “Juicy?” to much hilarity in the shop before correcting himself, “Josie”. While laughing, Prince William added: “Sorry Josie, I thought you said juicy. My apologies. The pasties will be juicy. You’re alright.”<\/p>\n Gear Farm pasty maker James Hill thought the gaffe was hilarious. He said: “He did all the right things, to be fair. It’s pretty good, you know, considering. Then he took an order. The best part, I have to say, was when he got the name wrong. It was ‘juicy’ instead of Josie, which was very funny.”<\/p>\n Asked what he thought of the prince’s pasty-making skills, he added: “Well, I didn’t see it personally. But from what I’ve heard, it’s not too bad, but it might end up on the old graveyard, which is a bit of a shame.<\/p>\n “But it’s not surprising for the first one. A very good effort for a first, I remember when I first came here. I think the first ten pasties I made ended up on the graveyard.”<\/p>\n After the visit, Gear Farm owner David Webb said: “We were really, really honoured to have him here. St. Piran\u2019s Day today is a very special day and having pasties on St Piran’s Day, you know, that’s a tradition for a lot of local people, and it was a pleasure. It was just lovely.”<\/p>\n He added: “He was very interested in what happened during Storm Goretti, the damage and how the community coped.”<\/p>\n Asked about Prince William’s pasty making skills, David said: “It wasn\u2019t bad. I think it might need a little bit more practice. And he’s delivering some now to the fire station.”<\/p>\n You can follow his visit to Cornwall on our blog here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Want the latest Cornwall breaking news and top stories first? <\/strong>Click here to join CornwallLive on WhatsApp<\/a><\/p>\n and we’ll send breaking news and top stories directly to your phone.
