DISCOVER the crispest crusts, freshest meat and vegetables in a gravy that will have your tongue rolling around your head wanting one more bite in Shepparton and Mooroopna.

The bakery that holds the title of ‘Australia’s Best Vanilla Slice 2023 and 2024’ and won ‘Australia’s Best Hot Cross Bun’ in 2021, 2022 and 2024, North End Bakehouse have tested their delicious pies against the best in Australia with the Porky Mexican, containing pulled pork in a smoky BBQ sauce, topped with a corn & tomato salsa, winning gold in the gourmet category at the Australia’s Best Pie Comp.

“A simple flavoured pie has never scored well for us in the past, so we decided to get creative and think outside the box! Making a pie out of a meal everyone knows and loves, like Mexican tacos, is the way to go. It is the same for another pie we took out a gold award for in the poultry category, The Barby Chook, containing pulled BBQ chicken with a Ranch Potato Salad.
