Best chunky steak pie in the country.

This prestigious award is a testament to our passion for crafting the perfect Australian meat pie. We’re beyond honoured to bring this title home and share our success with you all.

Great Aussie Meat Pies
The Great Aussie Meat Pie Competition has been running annually since its establishment in 1989. With a panel of judges that includes bakers, chefs, hospitality leaders, and industry representatives, earning the title of Best Meat Pie in Australia is no easy feat. The judges have incredibly high standards and an expert palate, making this win even more special for us.
Each year, bakeries from across the country submit their very best pies to compete in two main categories: plain and gourmet. With thousands of incredible entries from some of the best pies in Perth and beyond, the competition is fierce.
The judging process is both intense and meticulous. Each pie is evaluated for its pastry thickness, appearance, texture, and filling before advancing to the tasting stage. During the tasting, judges assess aroma, colour, sensory appeal, and, most importantly, flavour. It’s a comprehensive process that ensures only the very best pies stand out – and we’re proud to say our Chunky Steak Pie did just that!
Best Pies in Perth: Local Ingredients, Legendary Taste
We owe much of our success to the incredible farmers of Western Australia. Sourcing fresh, local ingredients has been a cornerstone of our baking process. From the eggs and flour that go into our pastry to the vegetables and premium cuts of meat that make up our fillings, WA farmers help us craft some of the best pies in Perth.
When you bite into one of our award-winning pies, you’ll taste the difference that fresh, local produce makes. The rich aroma, flaky pastry, and tender meat – it all comes together to create the ultimate Australian meat pie experience. It’s no wonder we’ve been recognised as the bakery behind the Best Meat Pie in Australia.
