RESTAURANTS: Australian Pie Company- Delicious home made aussie meat pies. They don’t mill their own flour but they make everything on site. Try a sausage roll and a cup of coffee- heaven. Packaging- they pack your meat pies in white sandwich bags- totally compostable! The larger pies may come in standard pie tins, but those are reusable.
