Obviously we had to try these award-winning pies, although every bakery reckons its pies and vanilla slice win awards, right?
Over our Ocean Grove holiday we were loyal Rolling Pin customers and went back multiple times: my friends were obsessed with the mushroom and truffle pie although I didn’t try it myself.
I liked the lamb and rosemary pie (which included peas and carrots) and the pepper steak pie, which had a mix of mince and juicy chunks. These were oval-shaped. I also had the beef, cheese and bacon pie but that was less special: a square pie much the same as at most other bakeries.

When I questioned why a $4.50 sausage roll cost the price of the pie I was told they go off the cheapest item.. So not really getting a free pie.. Also a 1.5 % surcharge on all cards which is excessive and illegal according to the ACCC have been going there for years but won’t...
