Another day in the family road trip, another country bakery pie for lunch. This time we were in Bendigo when lunchtime rolled around. The main street of Bendigo is filled with trendy and expensive cafes but step a couple of streets back off the tourist strip and you find where the real people eat. We didn't have much time and wanted something quick so a pie was the natural (if not the healthy) option.
The pies here are made on premises and way better then the soggy rat coffins you get at the servo. The kids hooked into some good pies here. The missus and I opted for a chicken roll (they do sandwiches as well as pies ) instead as we had eaten about a years quota of pies over the course of the previous few days (including for breakfast that day... Don't judge). The roll was fresh, tasty, not soggy and filling. Just the thing to munch on as we barrelled down the highway to our next stop.
A good, reasonably priced option for a quick Bendigo lunch. read more
