About Island Pies

If you're heading to Phillip Island and wondering where to stop for a pie, Island Pies in Newhaven is the name that comes up. The tagline says it all: home of the famous scallop pie, and visitors come in for it.

The scallop pie lives up to the talk. It comes in a gentle curry sauce, loaded with whole Bass Strait scallops rather than the odd token piece, and the pastry gets good marks for being crisp and well baked. One visitor reckoned it was worth the trip from inner Melbourne. If scallops aren't your thing, the steak and cheese and the steak, bacon and cheese pies have plenty of fans, and there's a decent spread of sausage rolls, spinach and ricotta rolls, vanilla slice, cakes and slices behind the counter. Fresh sandwiches, salad rolls and coffee round out the menu, and people have found gluten-free cake and wraps here too.

It's a handy bakery in Newhaven for any time of day. Breakfast and coffee are on offer, and one traveller found the shelves still well stocked mid-afternoon on a weekday. You can eat in or take away, and catering is available if you're feeding a group. Staff get friendly mentions, and the shop is described as clean and well presented. Parking is free, with a wheelchair-accessible car park and entrance, and you can pay by card or phone.

Some find the scallop pies a touch pricier than the other pies, a few have grumbled about tables needing a wipe on a busy day, and a public holiday surcharge has caught at least one visitor off guard. Most still say the pies are worth it.

Hours are posted for every day of the week, but check before you head in, especially around holidays.
