The scrambled eggs was creamy, the tomato was charred cooked, bacon crispy, hash brown hot, soft inside and crispy outside, fried mushrooms an the sausage were tasty with bits of cheese in them, two slices of a type of bread and butter, washed down with english breakfast tea. Just thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband had just a pie and coke.”

On the plate at Hollywood Bakery Espresso, the idea is classic fish‑and‑chips and well judged. A sensible spend for the spread. Portions are generous yet well judged. Portions suit sharing without tipping heavy.

“First class family bakery with an excellent hot breakfast menu. Prices are very cheap for quality food and fast friendly service”

“Actually the best pie I've had in my life. The pies from here is actually world class. The way the pie filling is done, the sauce, the blend it's all balanced to perfection. The generosity on the fillings is next level. And yet the pastry is light and fluffy too. I can see how they have won many pie comps now. Well worth the trip out for Even the ones I took away, when reheated in the oven still tastes amazing just like the original shop”
