  • 1–31 Aug

Enjoy a slice of Ballarat this August with the return of Ballarat’s Best Pie competition.

Take your pick from more than 35 savoury and sweet pies at some of the city’s top cafes, restaurants and bakeries.

On the menu at Roy Hammond is the galbi-jjim & bone marrow pie.

This beef pie features tender short ribs in a sesame crust, inspired by Korean galbi-jjim.

The bone acts as a steam vent while the marrow melts into the filling, creating a rich, velvety sauce.

"Galbi-jjim is traditionally served as a celebration dish during the Korean harvest festival, Korean Lunar New Year, birthdays, weddings etc," chef Mohan Tiranga said.

"We thought Ballarat's Best Pie competition was a worthy celebration!"

Vote and win!

For your chance to win a luxury Ballarat weekend escape for two valued at over $3000, cast your vote for the People’s Choice Pie.

The pie with the most votes will be crowned the winner of this new category in early September.

"A perfect blend of crunch and succulence."

    Acknowledgement of Country

    Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

    We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
