Enjoy a slice of Ballarat this August with the return of Ballarat’s Best Pie. From flaky crusts to mouth-watering fillings, there’s bound to be a pie to satisfy your tastebuds.

The Market Hotel’s chimney stack pie is classic country pub comfort with a twist. Packed with tender local Wagyu beef, chunky king brown mushrooms, smoky bacon and a hearty splash of Pyrenees red wine, it’s slow‑cooked until rich and full of flavour. The whole thing is topped with a golden pastry lid and finished with a lamb marrow bone rising through the centre like a chimney, letting the steam escape and giving the pie its name.

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.
