Tasty Tucker Bakery is a bakery at 40 Bridge Street in Nelson Central, with a Google rating of 4.5 from 69 reviews. Customers mention pies most often, along with sausage rolls, steak and cheese pies and almond croissants.
A good bakery is judged first on its pastry, and a good sausage roll or pie should have a filling that stays moist without making the base soggy. Savoury bakes are at their best early in the day, so a visit before the lunch rush usually means a wider choice. Many bakeries also serve sandwiches and hot food, which makes them a useful stop for a quick lunch or a takeaway break. Regulars often judge a bakery on whether the same favourite tastes the same from one visit to the next.
Its Bridge Street bakery makes it a handy stop for a pie and a coffee in central Nelson.
