Morisset Bakehouse

Morisset Bakehouse is the sort of bakery in Morisset that locals head to for a proper country-town pie. Plenty of regulars treat it as their place for a local pie, and the curry mince is the one we hear about most. Pie-of-the-day specials turn up too, including a curried bangers and mash version that got a happy nod, and the chunky pepper steak has its fans.

Pies aren't the only draw. The bacon and egg roll is a firm favourite, and there's a good run of sausage rolls, sandwiches, wraps and breakfast options, plus a salad bar for something lighter. Bread has been described as good quality, and the cabinet carries cakes and slices, with a cream cake a popular add-on to a pie. Coffee and tea are available, and people say the coffee is good and strong. There are a few tables and chairs if you'd rather sit and eat than take it with you, though takeaway is the main way most people use it.

The staff get consistent warm mentions. People describe them as friendly and welcoming, and it's common to find a few locals sitting over a coffee, which is usually a good sign in a small town. Prices are another point in its favour: one local called them old school, and the general view is that you get good value for what you pay. It has the feel of a country bakery from before everything got fancy.

A few people feel the pies have slipped in filling or crust lately, and others have found the service slower than they'd like. Most visits, though, end well.

It sits at a service station, so the outlook isn't the prettiest, but the practical side is easy: there's free parking on the street and in the car park, a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, and tap-to-pay is accepted. The bakery opens early on weekdays and has shorter hours on weekends, so check the hours before you head in.
