Henry's bakery in Wodonga have the best pies I have ever tasted.

Hank's kitchen- Grafton. good old chunky steak & pepper with peas x2, will keep ya going til lunch time. then a Cheese & Bacon Shepards or a Curry Pie. Good tucker :cup:
PS.. there's a bakery out Wee Waa that don't do a bad job either. :cheers:
-
Meh...all of these places mentioned are but pale and certainly no where near the awesomeness that is the Wee Waa Bakery and the best chicken pie ever! Along with the awesome "Rescue Pie", a pie of that consisted of slow cooked beef in an Italian style sauce with tomato, garlic and red wine and a mashed sweet potato topping with a parmesan cheese garnish...
Also, a kind of distant second would be Oatley Village Pies and if you haven't had their beef burgandy or even their mango chicken pie, then you have definitely not got any idea about pies.
My husband was a founding member of the Piesmiths Guild. They would rate their pies out of a score of 10 and took their pie ratings very seriously. Don't google them...you won't find them on the internet... ;D
-
Swifts Creek Bakery in East Gippsland, Vic, used to do a mean spag bol pie.
-
Copley bakery 5k's out of leigh creek on the way to lyndehurst.
Paul

Put down your glasses Keiths Pies Burnley st Richmond . Pies & Pasties . To die for :cup:
The Pepered steak AAArrrrrrrrrrrr 8)
-
What does or say about me that I seem to know so many of those places mentioned.
I don't mind a gourmet pie, but tend to go the plain pie most times. It's like singing acoustically; if you can get that right the augmented performances will be that much better.

-
Triabunna bakery on the east coast of tassie, THE best peppered stake pies.
Was there a few weeks ago and the pies are very nice, i had a hearty beef and the wife had the scallop pie yum yum. We found lots of nice bakerys in Tassy, another was in Hamilton, there's also some cheap camping down b the river.
Another gooden is the bakery in Castlemaine Vic.
-
Are yes all good places, but this reminds me of a time quite a few years ago when my brother and me were buddig MX racers travelling all over QLD. We were coming back from an event out west QLD and we were flat broke and just hoping we had enough fuel to get home let alone buy something to eat. When I went looking for a music cassette (who remembers them? BTW no not an 8 track) when I found a left over pie from Fridays drive to the racers under the seat. Cold and rather crusty still in the typical, in those days, brown paper bag, we shared it and I tell you to this day that gristly scrapes swept from the floor maggot bag was the best pie I have ever eaten lol.
Funny how not having eaten and exerting heaps of energy changes your perception on dietry requirements. ;D
Had to eat Guinea pigs on exercise one year but this is probably not the best forum to metion small furry animals on a dinner plate lol.

Hi Rowanb
Guinea pigs never hurt millons of south americans lol
cheers sheeds

Anyone know how to get gooey saliva out of a keyboard? >:(
As a captive carnivore in a vegetarian environment....I reckon this is the cruelest of subjects ever!!! :'(
However allow me to add my 5c worth. If you're ever in Cooma try Kuma Pies. Delicious tasting vegie pies & nice coffee too with good seating out of the cold. :D
AND may I just add that the meat pie with chunky pieces and runny gravey that I saw getting devoured by some uncaring carnivore at the next table..............sure looked mighty good. ;D
I love my bakeries - Wayne

Hi Rowanb

taste like chicken lol. Guinea pig pies anyone? Maybe in a nice satay sauce
-
Another vote for the curried camel from Birdsville. Also honurable mention to the bakery at Eurong on Fraser. Had a nice meat pie there 2 weeks ago.
Also it has been a while but the meat pies from the bakery at Kurri Kurri are great too.
-
I know its commercial one but the Four and Twenty legendary Angus with sauce aint bad, just need a packet of Quick eze with it :P
-
The best pies albeit gourmet ones were from a little pie shop in Frenchs Forest in Sydney. One pie was a meal. They had mornays and all kinds of things and man they were good. I think it is shut now after all that was around 20 years ago! Bloody hell I am getting old!
-
Another long time favourite is Uncle Toms at the Mullumbimby T/O also an honorable mention to Red Neds at Nelson Bay,Hanks at Grafton, funny how you remember all the good pies that you get, and where they were, ;D ;D ;D

Participants should apply now for your complementary defibrillator while stocks last.
Or you can just create a public nuisance and get the Police to do the zapping for you.

robertson country bakehouse (the one in the main street not the one out of town) and southern rise bakery in moss vale both owned by the same guy.

There is a couple up our way on the Nrth Coast...pie shop in Yamba's main drag, not bad, the pie shop at Mclean's River street..not bad, the famous pie cart in Lismore...good, for the queenslanders amongst us...Yatla Pies...good.
But for me...Uncle Peters Pies in Deniiliquin, when I was growning up...ahhhhh....the memories.

Uncle toms x2. Only just discovered they are still open, apparently the same pie maker for the last 30+ years and for the sweet tooth apricot pie with fresh cream!
Hanks kitchen grafton also excellent and 1min from the office, has made me add 10kg from eating there mon to fri tho :'(
Brooks bakery in Yamba used to be a running joke about how bad they were but these days they are damn good, curry pie and a coffee milk after a surf is a weekend staple of mine.
-
robertson country bakehouse (the one in the main street not the one out of town) and southern rise bakery in moss vale both owned by the same guy.
I live not far from robertson, this pie shop has a pepper pie it's capsicum based and it is awesome , as for the famous Robbo pie shop, don't bother as it is so overated. Ok so some good pie shops.
Braidwood is excellent, sundance at jindabyne also excellent, on the south side of Milton at the lights there is a little cafe that has wicked rosemary and lamb pies as well as heaps of other pies.
-
Here is one that you most probably would miss if you didn't know it was there. If you do the road between casino and Tenterfield there is a small town called Mallanganee and there is a small shop not the main one but a little old one that doesn't even have an electronic cashregister but a pushbuttton one. The old lady who owns the shop about 80 makes fresh pies daily herself . They are fantastic!!! It is worth to go into the shop she still has videos for rent and other old things.

Slightly off subject but, Aramac bakery had a magic baker making pies that were brilliant [could it be that using duck eggs for the pastry makes a difference] ,thing is he has now closed up shop and the Barcaldine Regional Council has the bakery up for lease , Any good Bakers out there wanting a tree change to a small town in gods own country ?

I've gone through there for years in the truck and didn't even know about it, have to try one next time I'm out that way, thanks rossbarb,

I must give my vote to the bakery in Mudgee, we stop in there every time we pass through. they are so far the best ive ever tasted :cup:
-
Meldrums Bakery in Grafton St Cairns City........ yummo
-
The Howlong Bakery does some great pies. Have to admit that SWMBO works there (no she didn't tell me to write this) and the owners are in our 4wd club (and they didn't ask me to write it either) but honestly, they have won many awards and the pies are great.
Another place I have had great pies from is at Katamatite, central Vic. Actually not sure whether the pies are great or whether I was just so hungry each time I bought lunch there that anything would have tasted great... They certainly weren't bad anyway.
:cheers:

The pie shop on the Princes Highway at the bottom of the hill in Milton NSW has fabulous pies. The name escapes me but it has "rainbow" in it. If heading down from Sydney, there's a roadside sign for the pie shop saying to turn right at the lights in about 100kms. We always have a chuckle when we see that sign!
-
Hayden's Pies for me, Princes Hwy Ulladulla.
-
Dinkum Pies in Block Place in the Melbourne CBD. They have been there forever and havent changed a thing.
-
Have always maintained the test of a good pie is if you can eat them cold.
Tried,true and tested, the "chunky" from the pie shop at Oonoonba on the way to Morrisey's for a crabbing weekend Friday arvo.
Buy a couple extra and you can eat them straight out of the esky for Saturday lunch
and/or reheat in the camp oven Saturday night.
Oh, and grab a "pig in a blanket" to eat off the dashboard on the way down ;D ;D.
YO DADDY!!!

Some counter weight for the Westies:
bakery in Denmark WA: winning gold and silver every year.
bakery in Lancelin WA.

Beefy's Pies at the Ettamogah ah yes beefys pies drool
Another vote for Beefy. Stop at the Ettamogah/Aussie World area if travelling north, but they also have an outlet at the Wild Horse Lookout service area for south bound travellers.

Yatala pies are very hard to beat
-
I reckon the Yatala Meat Pies are very over-rated, and over-priced. BUT, their fruit/dessert pies are magic to buy on the way somewhere, and just drop in the camp-oven with a minimum of coals and its warmed up in no time on a cool night out bush.
Got a great pie in the main street of Roma last week on the way back from Carnarvon NP - can't recall the shop, Sausage Rolls were great too. I had half of one of the pies the next day and it well and truly passed the 'cold' taste test mentioned earlier... The bakery on the main drag on the eastern side of Chinchilla do good pies also. Sausage Rolls pretty ordinary there though.
I've been told the Fernvale Bakery is still a cracker and likely top dog in SE Qld. Haven't been there in years and on that occaision was half-cut on a hungover morning so don't recall much except that I had one..
Phelens Pies in Ayr, Nth Qld, used to be king up that way. Not even sure if they're still open. Not far away Crowdies bakery is also a great bakery, not soi much for pies though.
-
Hi all,
A few that i've encountered around are the Pinnacle Pub Pies, a bit expensive i thought at first, but taste beautiful and one pie is enough. The shell servo at Miriamvale, crab pies... I can't go through there without stopping.
A small mention for Wal out at Cunnamulla Bakery, sad looking pies, only has one flavour but jeez they're a nice pie. My old man was a baker and he rated them pretty high, he may as well have lived on them when he used to come out for visits.
And one more for dad, he loves the corned beef and white sauce pies from Biloela
Cheers

Hanks do a GREAT chunky pie there is no doubt about that!
But when you are hungry and have been living rough for a week or so any pie is great...Cobar bakery is like that. They taste great when you are desperate and not so great when you're not.
Hanks pies are always nice.
-
simply the best pies are found at molly mae's in heathcote,
-
Braidwood Bakery is delicious for pies. Always very popular as people pass through on their way to the coast. If we can plan our trip to the coast via Braidwood we will go out of our way to do so. MMMM feel like one now really.
Cheers

G'day Spargo,
That shop in Roma wouldn't be bakaroma would it?
-
A bit surprised no one who travels the Pacific Goat track has mentioned Freddo pies at Fredrickton. Always busy anytime we have been there, not bad either. :cheers:
-
We went to Braidwood just on spec one morning on the way through from the bay. Very nice.
Fredo's pies at (funnily enough) Frederickton I reckon are greatly over rated.
-
tassie has the best pies i have had in a long time
scallop curry . chicken and camembert
-
my cousin used to bake at freddo pies, they have also won awards, would i recomend it..... nope. last time i stopped the pies were crap and the service worse, also full of moron bacpacker tourists.....
-
I think Yatala pies are highly over rated too ......
Cheers Chippy :D
-
G'day Spargo,

I don't think so eh. I recall that one, but Mrs S had the little one while I cut laps and just ducked into one on the corner. It was a bakery / cafe setup, but sold takeaway too. Again, they were pretty good.
-
i agree with Bullfrog Freddo Pies at Fredrickton are great particularly the seafood mornay with a ice coffee for breakfast 8)

This thread has been a pretty interesting read for me.
I don't know how many times I have to say it, but I work in a bakery. We make pies.
From that perspective I find it interesting to see others opinions on pies they have tried and tested.
Seriously, I'm taking all of this on board and am reporting back to my boss, who in his own opinion and also of many others, bakes a darn good pie.
However, a true artist knows that there is always room for improvement!
Those of you who believe you have had the best pie ever from Yatala, well, you should probably try a few elsewhere as written about in this thread first. I have sampled their chicken pie and I believe it was sub par. Certainly not even close to our own secret chicken pie formula. The Yatala chicken pie was a bit weird to me but I guess whatever floats your boat. Our chicken pies are based on a creamy filling not a clear fat filling as the Yatala ones are, which is pretty horrid.
Then there are some claims in this thread of "simply the best" or "the best evar" pies and whilst probably valid in the pie testers eyes, not quite all that helpful as others of us believe we have tried the best pies elsewhere.
So, having said that, perhaps a leaf out of the Pie Smiths Guild should be in order and you should rate the pies that have been tried out of 10. I believe that the pie smiths that I know of used to rate pastry and filling and come to the score out of 10.
In regards to pastry, the bottom pie pastry should be different to the top pastry. It is a well known pie bakers creed that the top pastry should be of the flaky light pastry type and the bottom pastry should be of the shortcrust style. Again, I stress, that this comes from my knowledge of working in a bakery, reading bakery industry information and having to deal with bakers! So, if you're having a truly awesome pie, let us know what the pastry is like. Some people base their pie experience on how good the pastry is.
For those who base their pie experience on the filling, well, again, according to pie bakers, the filling should be not too runny, certainly have plenty of meat, not have any evidence of the pie base mix that they all use (yes, they do, there is not one bakery that doesn't! Just ask Bakels!) If you like a pie with chunks or mince, this shouldn't make one better over the other as I believe that in this regard there are definitely acceptable standards for both types and neither should be judged against the other. Rather, judge mince against mince and chunky against chunky. Once mince or chunky is determined, decide if the filling is tasty enough for your tastes, if it is firm enough that it doesn't fall out of your pie all over your good Myswag shirt and contributes to the all over experience that a pie is. ;D
So, I'll be keen to see if any of you take this on board as there is a serious industry pie maker watching keenly in the background and will be taking the customer feed back to the bakery and ensuring that all that is good goes into a well made hand crafted Aussie pie. ;)
If you're not sure if I'm taking the p*** or not...you'd better PM me... ;D
-
No Duchess, your not taking the p1ss, I know that. I reckon the trick is almost to get the pastry as shorts as possible, hard to do I reckon, not for some it seems with all these great pies. I hated Pastry in my training and marvelled at what a baker could do. I preferred to do butchery (Knifes, cleavers and chop, chop grunt). You guys are so much more patient. I loved watching the guys make Filo while I was the Sous Chef on Norfolk,
I reckon you guys rock. Not as good as a good steak though ;D but pretty dam good :cheers:
-
I'll back up Chippy about Steele's in Warwick. I don't know the name of the place in Glen Innes, but it's just off the main street, easy to find 'cause within an hour of lunch the line up goes out the door and into the main street. Don't be put off by this, they push 'em through quick, and have a menu of what looked to be around 100 types up on the board.( Maybe not but it took up the back wall).

I remembered this thread after having a steak & mushroom pie last week at Yatla Pies in Beenlea Qld :cup:
Was the best I've ever tasted, so good I went back on the return trip for another one :cheers:
-
Always loved a pie from the Avoca bakery they have a large range and have won awards but I love the chicken mango pie at my local bakery in white hiills just before Epsom heading towards Echuca from bendigo Richardson bakery :cup:
-
You can buy a good pie here
:cheers: sheeds

Mainy ,that just goes to show that your a phillistine when it comes to pies , Yatla hasnt made a really good pie like they used to ever since Capt Anna said it was a Qld icon , once Anna gives it rap you just know its going to go to the dogs , LOL.

It may have been mentioned earlier in this thread but what is the name of the pie shop in a north coast NSW town that is on the north side of said town on the left in a 50 or 60km/h zone. This place hasn't been bypassed yet by the Pacific Highway upgrade and has a billboard advertising it. Looks to have a big range of flavours. I keep meaning to stop on our travels but never get around to it.
-
Frederickton? just north of Kempsey.
Could have sworn that was a Mrs Macs shop yonks ago.
-
Our home town bakery in Lyndoch (Barossa Valley) is a great German style bakery :cup:
-
I love the pies at the Asian Bakery Hawker Canberra. Great pastry , great taste. Tried Yatala pies , all right. Best pie I had was in Tassie on a boat going up the Gordon river. A scallop pie. Great.

Fredo pies, but they are much overrated IMHO. We stopped there a while ago on the way up north and I was under awed by them. They still pack a crowd though.

Anna Bay Bakery, makes a great pie just what you need after a day playing on Stockton.
-
Locally the Golden King at Ashgrove (French Vietnamese) their breads are the best. Pies & caakes also awesome. Top butcher right next door too.
On the southside there's a little place next door to the Westpac at Morningside. Jam & cream donuts to die for.
Out town, we always stop at the Blackbutt bakery, they are good too.
I stay away from the Brumbies and Baker's delights, I have no idea why they can't be better but they are just ordinary and not worth it.
So many bakeries, so little time...
-
Geeveston bakery, down south of Hobart. Great pies to fill up on before hitting the Jeffery's track
-
no idea who makes them but travelling through Rockhampton the pie van had pretty handy pies
Probably Cranston's... they make a good one.

Nev Burston's Pie Van

don't know the name of the place but the bakery right next door to the pub in Oberon served up a mean beef, bacon & cheese pie over the weekend..........very freindly staff to go with it :D
another pie that i can't go past is the traditional beef mince pie from the Augusta Bakery - every time i head home it is on the menu
wouldn't call myself a pie expert...............but when it comes to Vanilla Slices - I know my stuff ;D
-
How did I miss this thread until now?
x 2 for the Castlemaine bakery (way back on about page 3!)
Likewise Malmsbury bakery - gotta love them who still do Steak and Kidney pies.
Also the Maldon bakery, with its ancient wood fired oven.
(With that selection, anyone would think I used to work in Central Victoria.)
These days my usual lunch is a pie from Banjos Bakery in Geelong. Love their Scallop pies, when they are baking them. Also the Maroccan chicken.

travelling around the N.E Vic area you can't go passed a Parkers Pie at Rutherglen all types and easily the best around much better than Beechworth pies.
Also if there are any Kiwis putting their two bobs worth in, please let me know what the pies are that they sell in the servos on the Sth Island particularly on the west coast region ... they are in a plain old plastic wrapper ( like our four & twenty rubbish ) only about 80c to $1.00 (a couple of years ago) but they are :cup:THE BEST PIES we have ever had :cup: ... full of chunky, melt in your mouth delicious Lamb pieces and great gravy.... yet go to the bakery or take away places nearby and they were 3 times the price and were only average???

Anyone travelling the PAC hwy north of Grafton drop into my mates new pie shop at tynedale 20 mins north of Grafton, plantation pies. Recommend the corned beef and white sauce pie, bloody good! Or big eaters have a crack at the man v food style pie mountain! Finnish in 45 mins, free t shirt and name on the still blank wall of fame.
-
Here in WA, the Coral Bay Bakery does a fantastic Chilli Pie ... chunks of chilli, lots of meat and a gravy to keep it all together. It's always hard to stop at one.
Cheers

Meldrums Bakery in Grafton St Cairns City........ yummo
They are the best I have had...

In response to Duchess:
I judge a pie on both the quality of the pastry and the taste and quality of the filling, with the pastry slightly more important (there are many different fillings but only one pastry). The pastry case should be short, but not so short that it breaks and crumbles when you try to eat the pie, and the top should be flakey (but preferably not so flakey that you get little flakes all over your shirt. The filling should be good quality (nothing worse than finding chunks of gristle in a pie), well cooked, and the gravy should be tasty and just thick enough to ensure it stays inside the case when you eat it. I don't care whether the filling is chunky or minced as long as it matches what I expect from the menu, and the top may also be potato rather than pastry.
Any pie that needs tomato sauce injected into it to make it eatable has already failed the test, as has any pie where the base of the case is shiny and undercooked (a baker would describe it differently, but you know what I mean). For factory pies, Beefy's is the best I've found with Vili's second (but from their 24 hour factory cafe in Adelaide, not from a corner store). I've also had good pies from various country bakeries but haven't ever kept a list of them! Ones that have disappointed me as not living up to the hype have been Fredos and Yatala.

For some strange reason I feel like a pie for lunch :D Rod.
-
Mannum Bakery, best curry pie I've ever eaten.
-
PHELAN'S - AYR
(couple of outlets in Townsville now too.)
Pies are ok but their pasties (meat) are to die for.
Had my first in 1961 and still not sick of them.
The pie cart on the foreshore at Cardwell is good too, but you have to be early, he often runs out.
-
Orange bakery cafe,just across from aldi,best curry pies ever.
-

Hey RobM,
My good lady wife is from Ayr. Question, do all women from that neck of the woods swear like truck drivers, or did I just get lucky. ;D
Cheers Marshy.
-
Marshy,
I haven't lived there for 40 years (just visit often) and my wife grew up in Townsville so I'm probably not qualified to answer that. ;D

lol good spelling from me lollollolol

Very surprised no ones mentioned the Yarck pies.
It's been a while for me but they used to be top notch.

It's been a while since I've been home but Bellerive Bakery used to make a magnificent Scallop mournay pie. To any Tasmanians' does the Bellerive Bakery still operate and make them?
-
Had a great curried scallop and veg pie, somewhere in Tasmania.... can't recall where. It was so good that now I make this type of pie myself. yummm

Phelans are the king of Pasties.. A variation on a traditional hard party cornish pasty, but they're the best I've had in oz. Am back there next week to double-check and reconfirm opinion. :)
I'm from Ayr. Yes, we're weird.
-
From a bit of a pie connoisseur, you can't beat Yarragon bakery in Vic.
-
In Victoria a big vote for the Avoca bakery.
WA, toss up between Pinjara Bakery and Bindoon Bakery...........Hmmmm I feel a drive coming up........ :cheers:
-
Maaaate, ol Arthur from the TCB bakery does a wicked pie with a nice cheese and bacon topper on it.
Anything with bacon is always a winner........... hmmmm...............bacon..............arrrrrrrghhhh

A bit surprised no one who travels the Pacific Goat track has mentioned Freddo pies at Fredrickton. Always busy anytime we have been there, not bad either. :cheers:
Very over rated

-
The old Stonehut bakery in the southern Flinders makes a nice pie :cup:

Avoca used to have two options, the little shop with dozens of flavours and a proper bakery
Cardwell pie van is also a winner, spent a few weekends driving up from Townsville just for a pie, but you can never just have one can you! I dont even know if the pies are THAT good, its just a top spot, have a pie wandering the beach looking out to Hinchinbrook island!

it also needs to able to be eaten one handed whilst you drive,and temperature is also a big player,

There is another little pie shop that is good, and we always stop at. Canungra, coming from the Gold Coast, it is on the left next to the motel, almost opposite the large one that every one else stops at. Lol

Hey Toeball, spot on. Hamilton Island bakery also did a great steak and pea pie. Fantastic!
-
Around Bundaberg I used to love chics pies.
But can't go past a beefy on the way home from bribie.
When at work in Sydney I would often grab a patchetts pie especially their Thai chicken.
ie And believe it or not the KFC pie is worth chewing on
-
When I lived in bathurst years ago, Carahs was a good shop. Used to get the spag Bol pie. Yum. Not sure if it is still around though
-
The best meat pie I have ever had was in the main st of Ross in Tasmania, It was just to Die for. Thinking of a trip to the apple isle with the CT. A stop there will be a must.

Yes Copley x many
Pinarroo Bakery, Morgan bakery and the Lobethal Bakery should also be rating a mention.
Get in and give em a go, you won't be disappointed!

Panini's in gympie aren't too bad at all, and their snagga rolls are to die for, and you can't go wrong with a beefys. but the all time best pie I've ever had, and a few blokes mentioned it earlier, was the signature steak pie from the pie van that stops at the botanical gardens/waterfall thingo in rocky. its called raglan pies. their not actually a bakery, but a butcher, and they know their stuff! shortcrust base, flaky puff on top, beautiful gravy and slices of beef so tender it makes me frothy at the thought of them. definitely not cranstons though, spew. tramcars in gympie make a fantastic chunky pepper, but the rest of their range is a little tragic. emu park bakery have a beautiful pie also try a bacon and egg roll. horn on a jellyfish. why can't I lose this spare tyre I ask myself?

Pot Belly pies at Woodburn. Mmmm
-
Why isn't this thread a sticky at he top.
I'm not allowed to eat them, damn this low salt diet!
Doesn't mean that I don't appreciate a great pie, or a pub lunch for that matter.
-
I can't believe that noone has mentioned the bakery at Crescent Head. They make excellent pies and their vanilla slices people have killed for (allegedly ;D)
-
The bakery at Middlemount has good pies! I have one every pyjama day. Pretty good considering Middlemount is a mining town and normally everything in a mining town sucks.
-
Beefy's Pies at the Ettamogah Pub complex on the Bruce Hwy QLD.
Oh how i could go a good pie from there! They were our treat on the way back from Brisbane (which was only about once or twice a year).
Haven't found one that even gets close here in WA.
I am staying not far from here at the moment (well about an hour away actually - but hey- when it comes to a great pie I have been known to drive further) - will pop in and carry out some 'independent field testing' and advise - I will of course take no pleasure from this testing it will all be in the name of science
cheers :-))
