Stopped here as our first port of call on a holiday. It was recommended by a friend who told us they had great pies. I'm not sure if we are still friends, or they were just having a laugh. Ordered 2 steak and pepper pies. They were saltier than the Tasman sea, and nearly inedible. They were obviously cheap supermarket pies, heated up in the microwave, giving them that soggy, fall apart texture. Was charged $7.50 for each pie, giving them the world record for most expensive and last edible at the same time. Having the word bakery in their name does not make them an...
