About The Pie Mechanic
If you're after a pie in Tamworth, The Pie Mechanic is a name that comes up locally, and it's open early enough to be a proper breakfast stop on weekdays and weekends alike. It's a takeaway-style bakery, and the pies are what most people talk about. The fillings are described as chunky, with plenty of beef and gravy, and the sausage rolls get a good word too. One local was pleased enough with the beef shin and onion slow-cooked in New England Ale (the Moo + Brew) to come back the next morning for another.
There's more on the counter than pies. Coffee, pastries and breakfast options are part of the offering, and a visitor from Queensland who stumbled across the shop raved about the homemade tomato sauce. Gluten-free pies are available, and one regular who can't eat standard pastry says they're fantastic, though they suggest allowing a wait after ordering. People also mention the staff as friendly and the shop's habit of stocking products from other small local businesses.
We've heard some grumbles about pastry sticking to the foil tray, and the coffee doesn't win everyone over. The seating area is on the basic side, so this one suits a grab-and-go stop better than a long sit-down.
Street parking is free, and card and mobile payments are accepted. Hours run a little differently on weekends, so it's worth checking before you head in.
