Why Choose The Otford Pantry?

About The Otford Pantry

The Otford Pantry is a small bakery-cafe in Otford, New South Wales, and pies are what people talk about when they mention it. Locals rave about the apple pie with cream, and the steak and mushroom is the one we hear named as the most popular. There's a feta and spinach pie too, plus sausage rolls, empanadas, custard tart and an apple crumble that has its own following. The sweet things are made by hand.

It's a cafe as well as a bakery, so you can sit down with a coffee or a hot chocolate, or grab something to take away. There's indoor seating, plenty more outside on the grass, and a relaxed, cosy feel. It's good for kids, and breakfast, brunch and lunch are all on offer, with some vegetarian options. One local did wish for more of those, so the range here leans savoury and meaty. Sauce sits on the tables in full-size bottles rather than little packets, which people appreciate.

Walkers and hikers visit for a quick feed. It's an easy stop after the Bald Hill and old railway tunnel walk, and close to the lookout, so you can take in the coastal views while you eat. One group of hikers who'd left their packed lunch behind got a warm welcome even as the staff were opening up, and the friendly service comes up again and again when people talk about the place. The people behind the counter make it feel special. It also tends to be quieter than the busier spots nearby.

The Otford Pantry is open weekends only, so check the hours before you head in. If you're after a proper pie in Otford, it's the place to aim for.
