Miller's Scottish Bakery — Restaurant in Halton Hills

My online search for a shop that carried food items you can't get off the shelf in Canada, and some good Scottish Bread. I came across Miller's Scottish Bakery, and on a trip to the west GTA, on my way back, thought I would take a 20K detour to check this place out.

Am I glad I did.

To start with, the other people in the store were almost as nice as the folks that run the place, and for someone who was there for the first time, that was a really nice experience.

They carry a lot of things you can't normally get on the shelves in Canada, but not much of the stuff you can, so that in itself is perfect because I went there for exactly that reason.

The Bakery, well that is what made the trip worth while.

I haven't tasted it all yet, but, I certainly intend to. Everything they make looks picture perfect, and comes from their own ovens.

I was given a quick tour to see, from a distance, where things were made, and was told if I wanted to wait for 10 or 12 minutes, they would like to give me a couple of fresh from the oven meat pies to try. Warning me they would be hot and if I was going to have them on my way home, to wait and let them cool for 10 minutes, and then bit a small bit off the top and drink out the juice. OMG. It was lunch time, I could hardly wait to try these pies, but when I did bite that little piece off the top and tasted the juices inside, wow, so good. I began to slowly bite into the pie, the crust holding perfectly as I worked my way to the middle and then to the outsides and the end, then, I had to have another one, so I started on the second pie and pretty soon, it was gone too. I was looking at the Apple Pastry sitting in the bag on the seat beside me, but instead, I had to have one more meat pie. I actually ate 3 meat pies, which would normally be a challenge for anyone twice my size. It is not often that I have been able to experience something that brings back memories of days long gone by, but this was as good as it gets, and for a lot of reasons.

I am going to be on a Scottish diet for the next few days, sausage rolls, pasties, and maybe a couple more pies with some beans. Oh, I forgot, the Apple Pastry was every bit as good as it looked in the bag. I had a mess of crumbs to clean up when I got home, but worth...

Stopped here recently on route to a family wedding. Staff are genuine and helpful ( thanks Robert) and all products tried were top notch. We purchased a variety of baked goods along with a sausage roll and a loaf of Scottish white bread. FYI...Scottish this is a very high loaf of white bread with no crusts on the side - apparently there is a wives tale about eating crusts on the side giving you curly hair so they are removed. I don't know about the wives tale but the bread is certainly delicious as we're all the pastries and sausage rolls. Highly recommend - you won't be disappointed. Came back almost a year later and have to say the staff are terrific as is...

Many old country folk often drop in to pick up their weekly orders or to say hello to Frank (Scottish Baker) who often meets you with a colorful greeting. If it wasn't for Frank I would be craving Scottish pies and pastries as well as the freezers are stocked with Lorne Sausage Haggis, Black Pudding, Ayrshire Bacon, Belfast Ham. You will need Square sliced loaf or Rolls done just right for a Roll and Sausage or Bacon on that Scottish loaf with the proper crust. Don't forget Tottie Scones to go with your Sunday breakfast either a full Scottish or a full English all the fixings are available...
