Vili's Pies

#1 Post by bva » Tue Jan 23, 2007 2:15 am

for any south aussies in the uk please follow this link to pie nirvana (obvisouly at a cost) http://www.gourmetfoodsdirect.co.uk/

actually i was at the oval for the port vs geelong games last october and they were selling vili's pies next to the usual range of other food stuffs and the line for the pies was something to be seen - prob 80 long!!

good to see a south aussie company over here though

Vili's pies are the best around. I've got relatives in Sydney who always ask me to buy them a few boxes whenever I head over there. Didn't know Vilis pies were available in the UK though. Good stuff.

Vili's pies are good for what they are - a mass produced product. If you want the absolute pie experience, go to wattle park bakery (in the small shopping centre corner kensington road and... penfold road?) - the chunky steak pie is brilliant.

I agree

Cafe De Vili's is also a great place for a cheap meal, especially in the late evening/early morning where you can just chill out lol
... although if vili gave the place abit ofa makeover it would be abit more pleasant

I think that is part of the appeal of the joint! I do agree with you Algernon, I used to go to that bakery all the time when I lived with my parents.

Vili's are crap, but best out of mass-market ones.

Clarendon Bakery is where it's at when you want a good plain beef or chunky steak pie. If you want a fancy-pants yuppie pie then McLaren Vale Bakery's beef & burgundy and chicken & chardonnay pies are the go. I'm also quite partial to Willunga Bakery's potato pies.

No doubt you can now tell from what part of town I hail from. :)

ahh good old Clarendon bakery. one of the best!

as for metro bakeries... Dulwich Bakery is probably my favourite, followed by St Georges Bakehouse.

Quite delicious, hence why I mentioned them. :)

It's a chicken pie where chardonnay is used in the gravy or the meat has been marinated in it. Either way, they're great and also medal winning pies. A bit pricey, but well worth it!

Yeah they have, I used to be a mad Balfours fan - but now I prefer Vilas.

Mt Barkers best bakery is Millys Bakehouse, think it was voted the states best bakery not so long ago.

Usually the best bakeries are in the country, though there are some brilliant bakehouse's in the suburbs.
