Why Choose Trappers Bakery?
Trappers is a well-known stop on the Hume between Sydney and Canberra, recognised locally for pies with real substance. The steak and kidney delivers chunky meat and rich gravy.

About Trappers Bakery
If you're driving the Hume between Sydney and Canberra, this is the kind of bakery in Goulburn that tends to make the stop worthwhile. It sits right beside the Big Merino, with a sizeable car park and free street parking nearby, so it's an easy place to pull in, stretch your legs and eat something proper.
Pies are what locals and passing travellers keep coming back to. The steak and kidney gets a particular nod for chunky meat and a rich gravy, and the pepper steak has its fans too. Sausage rolls, bacon and egg rolls and spinach and feta rolls turn up in conversation as well. We hear the pastry is a highlight, flaky on top and sturdy enough underneath to hold the filling. One local who compared it with a well-known highway chain reckoned the pies here taste better and cost less, and plenty describe it as good value.
The range is wide. Breads, cakes, slices, sandwiches, fruit salads, quiche and apple crumble pie all sit alongside barista-made coffee. Vegetarians on a road trip have found plenty to eat here, and the bakery lists gluten-free and vegan options and custom cake orders. You can take away, dine in, or have it delivered. The tagline is 50 years of local history, and the open fire in winter keeps some of that feeling alive. There's also seating on an enclosed verandah, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance, seating and toilet.
It does get busy, especially in the morning, and the layout can feel a bit chaotic when the queues build. Staff are generally described as friendly and efficient, though service at the peak of the rush isn't always smooth. Going early helps, and one visitor who did so missed the crowds altogether. A couple of people have found their pies lukewarm rather than hot, so it's worth asking if you like yours piping.
They open early and close in the evening, with long hours posted every day, though it's worth looking up the hours.

“The steak and kidney pie is unapologetically old-school in the best way, chunky cuts of meat, a rich, glossy gravy, and a filling that tastes slow-cooked rather…”
“Excellent pastries. Rather crowded in the morning. Good stop in between Sydney and Canberra. Pricing much better than Heatherbrae's Pies.”
