And we’re not talking about a certain black-and-white AFL team. We’re talking about that golden flaky pastry and steaming savoury meat, warming your hands through a paper bag as you watch Australia’s favourite winter sport. A delicious meat pie – hot, satisfying, and easy to devour in between cheers for your team.
Kick goals with Australia’s favourite footy hunger-buster
At footy finals time, there’s no more convenient crowd-pleaser than the classic meat pie. When you’re glued to every second of the game, and hunger beckons, you can’t go past the heat-and-eat convenience of award-winning pies from Glenroy Bakery.
Whether you’re rugged up in the stadium stands, on the sidelines at your local club or glued to the big screen, a pie will always be as welcome as a favourable umpire’s decision in the crucial last minutes.
Let’s not forget hungry players!
Obviously, spectating is hungry work. But how about those on the footy field? Every weekend, thousands of players stumble off school or community sports fields and big-league ovals with a hunger that can’t be satisfied by a lacklustre cold sandwich.
A hot meat pie at the clubhouse or at home is a beloved tradition, and frankly, the reason many a young kid can be coaxed out onto a cold, wet oval in the first place.
Your training regimen to be pie-ready
It’s easy to get set for peak pie performance. Whether you’re buying wholesale or stocking up at home, flex those fingers and order online. Glenroy Bakery is not only Melbourne’s No. 1 wholesale pies supplier, but we also sell direct to the public, too. Order online for pickup, and stock your freezer with the best.
Don’t forget the sauce! Of course, the classic is traditional tomato sauce, squeezed into the pie with a twist-top bottle. This makes for fuss-free hand-held eating.
If you want to go gourmet, feel free to try a chunky chutney, or spice things up with chilli sauce. Or perhaps you’re a pie purist and take your pastry parcel unadorned. We can’t argue with the enjoyment of flavours we’ve already baked to perfection.
Paper bags are the most traditional way to serve pies, and even at home they can be a fun and easy way to get pies into hungry mouths. Otherwise, grab a pack of paper plates from the supermarket and you’re set to serve a fun snack with no dishes to clean.
No. 1 winter best-seller
We can’t predict who’s going to win the footy finals, but we’ll take a pretty confident punt that our best-seller this winter – like every winter – will be the meat pie. And no wonder, with nine tried-and-true flavours, there’s a pie for every palate.
Our award-winning pies have a massive fan-base right across Melbourne. No matter which team you follow, you’ll all agree on Glenroy Bakery pies.
