Pies are what the place is known for. The steak and kidney gets a particularly warm mention, and one local reckons the pies are made with proper chunks of steak rather than fatty offcuts. Sausage rolls, pasties and potato pie come up regularly too, along with egg and bacon rolls for breakfast. Not everyone is won over, though. One person found the pastry on their pies fell apart in the hand, another thought the pies were decent but nothing special, and the potato pie is one that tends to want plenty of sauce. Pies can be hit and miss for some, so it's fair to say opinion is a little split.

Beyond the pies, the range runs to cakes, bread and other baked goods, and the coffee earns plenty of praise, with one coffee drinker calling it as good a cup as they've had. The team is described as friendly and helpful, and some find the service quick and cheerful. One local has found it slow when the shop is busy, and some feel prices lean toward the higher side, so it can help to ask what things cost before you order.

They also take custom cake orders, handle catering and wholesale, and offer takeaway and delivery. If you're ordering a cake through a delivery app, it's worth confirming availability with the bakery directly. There's free parking, a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, and card and mobile payments are accepted. Opening hours run early, from the small hours on weekdays, but they vary through the week, so check before you head in.
