The bakery’s beef-and-beer and mince pies won silver, and its scallop, chicken and camembert, chunky beef and its traditional pastie each won a bronze medal.
Part owner Vanessa Lodge said bakeries from all over Australia competed.
“One of our apprentices, Cain Lodge, won bronze for his traditional pastie and mince pie and the other, Kiarn Davis, won silver for his mince pie,” Mrs Lodge said.
The pastries were judged on a variety of different factors.
“They judged whether the pastry was too dark, too dry, too greasy, the flavour. They taste them cold and warm,” she said.
