A country bakery is judged on its everyday bakes, such as pies, sausage rolls and fresh bread, which many people buy for the week. Rye and wholegrain loaves hold their flavour well when they are baked in the morning. Pies are often the best value on a counter, but the filling should be well seasoned and hot all the way through. Regulars tend to arrive before lunch, when the most popular bakes are still warm.
For a pie, a sausage roll or a loaf of rye on Thames Street in Oamaru, it is a well-reviewed local bakery worth visiting.
