Three Mondays ago I went to this bakery to purchase a bacon and cheese roll. However, there were none left, so I bought a steak, bacon, and cheese pie instead. This was only a very slight disappointment as generally, On a Roll's pies are of high quality and there is a substantial array of pies to choose from. The first thing I noticed is that the pie came in a tin. In the past there were no tins. I also noticed that the tin had writing on it. I forget just exactly what the writing was, but it had nothing to do with On a Roll Bakery. I didn't think much of this at the time, but the next day, at a different location, I saw some very similar looking pies with very similar looking pie tins. This has lead me to question whether On a Roll are baking their own pies or sourcing them from somewhere else. This is not really a big issue for me as the pie was of high quality and where it comes from doesn't really matter, as long as the pie is good. It was not the best steak, bacon, and cheese pie I've ever had, but it was certainly up there. The only thing that could have been improved on would to utilise a higher quality cheese, but I have never encountered a steak, bacon, and cheese pie that didn't have processed cheese in it, and besides I like processed cheese if used correctly. I think that the highlight of this pie was its pastry: it was crispy and firm. This is important as soggy pastry makes eating a pie difficult as the filling falls out while you're trying to eat it. If you like a steak, bacon and cheese pie, you could do a lot worse than On a Roll Bakery.
