Why Choose Oven Peel Bakery?
Oven Peel Bakery is a country bakery where the pies live up to the hype, properly filled with meat and no air pockets, with potato and mushroom standouts. The fresh bread sells out quickly, and sausage rolls and pasties are firm favourites at fair prices. Service is friendly and unhurried, though arrive early as stock moves fast.
About Oven Peel Bakery
Oven Peel Bakery is the sort of country bakery Portland folk talk about with a bit of protectiveness. From the outside it's modest, and one visitor admitted it looks a little rough around the edges, but the pies are what win people over. Locals will tell you the meat pies are properly filled with no air pockets, and the potato and mushroom varieties get a particular mention. Pasties and sausage rolls are firm favourites too, and the prices are known to be fair.
The bread is the other big draw. It comes out fresh, soft and generous, and the sourdough sits alongside the everyday loaves. Then there are the donuts. The jam and chocolate ones have people coming back, sometimes only to find the tray already empty, so getting in early is the standing advice. They also take custom cake orders, though the sweets cabinet is smaller than the savoury range, and one visitor wished for more to choose from.
The staff are friendly and chatty, with a real small-town feel at the counter, and regulars say that's part of the appeal. Takeaway is the way it works here, and you can pay by card or phone. Because the hours are on the shorter side and stock moves fast, check the opening hours before you go and aim for the morning if you've got your heart set on a particular pie or donut.
