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 Cafe at Provincial Ballarat is provincial pork pie.
This hearty hand-held pork and roasted vegetable pie is inspired by autumn harvests and classic roast dinners.
It's wrapped in buttery whey-enriched pastry and served with a housemade fig and apple chutney.
"This pie is inspired by the backyard harvest and the ingredients that become plentiful as we head into autumn – when gardens are full and kitchens start to shift toward heartier, more comforting flavours," chef Marcus Bradley said.
"We wanted to create something that captures this seasonal moment, while also preserving those flavours to carry us into the cooler months."
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.
"It’s a pie that brings together local ingredients, local growers and a whole lot of love."
