The Bakehouse in Conwy

Superb meat pies and friendly service. Traditional pies such as chicken ham (yummmmm) and plain pork. Really great traditional produce.

Absolutely blown away by this place. The pies are AMAZING. I like a pie. I've had a lot of pies in my life. I like making my own pies. I go to bakeries all the time. But these are at another level. From now on a new period of my life begins, and these will be the pies that all other pies are judged against. I was going for a breakfast bap from the café round the corner as a bit of a Friday treat, and I spotted this place round the corner with a sign up saying "Homemade pies". I ordered a fresh pork pie, a chicken and ham pie, and a steak pie all hot out of the oven. I ate the pork pie immediately standing at the shop window (what?? I was hungry OK) and at that point, I knew I'd made a good decision. Flakey, crispy pastry and a delicious piece of juicy pork - this was nothing like those mass-produced ones you get and have to throw away half the crust, and none of that weird jelly that everyone throws away (actually I quite like the jelly but... anyway). While I was eating it, more pies were coming out of the oven. And the lady behind the country shouted a friendly hello to a family walking by, they also recommended the pork pies. The remaining pies, I took home and had a bit later with my partner. When we unwrapped them, they were beautiful, delicate crust with a bit of decoration, the same awesome pastry, and both full of really decent chunky, meaty filling. It was so good I nearly shed a tear thinking of the terrible pies and pasties I've eaten over the years. There ought to be a queue half a mile long, but i was totally on my own. This little place is the kind of establishment that proves British cuisine doesn't deserve its bad reputation. There is no egotistical chef here, no micro herbs, no quinoa salad and smoked beetroot ketchup, just pies that make you proud to be from this part of the world. I love this place and I will sing your praises for the rest of my days. And I only popped out for bacon butty.

High quality food, fast service, reasonably priced. Meats supplied from the butchers attached, service is quick even for larger orders and the prices are reasonable for the portions provided. Would recommend.

Linked to the butchers shop on the main road. All the meat is cooked fresh and local. The homemade sausage baps are gorgeous and well worth the money, and if you like them you can buy some from the shop as well. They also do homemade pies, sausage rolls cooked on the premises. You can also get meat baps with salad if you want. It's very good value for money as you get loads. The staff are really nice and helpful, nothing is too much trouble.
