Why Choose Smith's Pies?

Smith's Pies is known locally for its scallop pie, curried, mornay and plain, with pies that consistently draw visitors back from across Tasmania and beyond.

Fair prices, friendly service and accessibility make it a straightforward stop for takeaway or to sit a while.

About Smith's Pies

Smith's Pies bakes in Cambridge, Tasmania, and the pies are the whole point. The scallop pie is known for curried scallop and scallop mornay varieties; one visitor who first met them at Salamanca Market made the trip out to the kitchen itself. Chunky steak, steak bacon and cheese, braised lamb and a camembert chicken also get a good word, and the sausage rolls are noted for their properly porky flavour.

They've been baking home-style pies in Tasmania since 1983, and the Cambridge spot is the Pie Yard, where you can eat your pie outdoors with a cold beer. We hear it's a friendly place to bring the dog too, with pies and a beer made for the pooch. Seating is mostly outside, so one visitor wished for a bit more cover on a grey day. The focus here is the pies, and people leave happy with the value. The family-size pies are popular for taking home, and one local froze a chunky steak pie for a fortnight and still found it fluffy and delicious once thawed.

Staff get consistently kind mentions. People talk about being served without any rush, and the friendly person at the counter comes up more than once. One traveller found the beef pie a bit ordinary and the pastry dry, so it's worth leaning on the scallop and steak pies that most people rave about. Scallop pies can sell out later in the day, so go earlier if that's what you're after.

You can order takeaway or dine in. There's free parking, wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance and toilet, and they take cards and tap-and-pay. Opening hours vary through the week and they don't open on weekends at the Cambridge kitchen, so check before you head out. Locals say their tagline - good produce, good pies, good people - is a fair summary.
