A good bakery is judged on freshness above all, since a pie that has sat in a cabinet for hours will taste dry and tired. Pastry should stay tender and the filling moist, with the top crisp rather than hard. Ask when the day's bakes came out, since early in the day is usually when a bakery is at its best. When you choose a bakery, look at how fresh the cabinet looks and whether the staff will warm an item for you.
For a pie or a sausage roll in West Harbour, this Luckens Road bakery is a local option worth checking on a quiet day.
