Highly recommended by the ladies at the Info centre at the train station. Was told by the friendly staff that people travel great distances to buy their pies and pastries. There wasn't much choice left when we arrived at 3:30pm so decided to pick up 3 flavours. 1) Breakfast Pie 2) Hot Mustard chicken (name to be confirmed) and 3) Apple Pie. Hot Mustard Chicken was so tasty. Loved the flavour and the generous chicken chunks in the pie. The best and fully loaded chicken pie ever tasted. Breakfast pie at first bite was a little disappointing because the gravy and mince meat flowed out. After a few more bites, a whole egg was uncovered. The egg was nice and soft. It added a different dimension to the initial taste of the pie. The pie was piping hot upon biting in. Apple Pie was served cold which I thoroughly enjoyed. Love the generous filling in the pie. The balance is perfect, not too sweet nor sour. Highly recommended. For more food adventures, follow me on Instagram and Tiktok:...

Overall, Great Country Pies was a pleasant surprise and somewhere we'd...
   Read moreOverall they have a good selection of pies, sandwiches, rolls, buns, hot/cold drinks etc. with friendly and accommodating staff. The one small thing that I personally find disappointing is that there seems to be a higher percentage (this goes for all sandwich places) of tree bread (multigrain) and cardboard bread (brown bread [to me it looks, feels and tastes like cardboard]) than white bread and most of the sandwiches has either mayonnaise, pickles or relish on it and I find that these are so sweet to my palate I find it difficult to eat them. Usually I find it easier to have sandwiches...
