As I was waiting to be served I noticed a bunch of flies in the fridge window- trapped in with all of the cakes and slices and I know if I were working there I'd get them out in a flash but the girls working just seemed oblivious.

Great pies and sausage rolls when they are warm all the way through. Not a big range of cold drinks but if you like hot drinks they are great. Love the vanilla slices ( when they havent sold out )

Approximate cost: $10

After seeing signs on the Midlands Highway spruiking about how their pies are the best in tassie we decided to swing off the highway to give them a try.

The bakery sits in an old pub and is a pretty creative use of the space. We wandered in, perused the menu, ordered and pulled up a table.

We received our coffee first and to be honest it was pretty average. Not the worst I've had this year but a long, long, long way from the top 5.

When our pies came out the accompanying chips & salad were in very generous portions and the pies weren't tiny either. What they were, however, was cold in the middle.

I had the steak & bacon, my wife had chicken & Camembert and my father in law had curried scallop. None were hot in the middle.

We pointed this out to the waitress who was very quick to apologise and rectify the problem with pies that were actually heated through.

The replacement pies were of an exceptionally high standard and could quite possibly uphold the claims on the signage.

In a nutshell, the pies were quality, the coffee was pretty poor, but the service was hit & miss. I wouldnt rule out going back but I wouldn't be rushing there.
