About Island Pies

Positioned right over the San Remo bridge, Island Pies delivers the ultimate road-trip recharge with its signature curry scallop pie. Crusts bake flaky and golden, packed with multiple whole Bass Strait scallops in a mild, savory cream sauce. Road-trippers treat it as a mandatory highway pit stop, grabbing warm pastries alongside sausage rolls, chunky beef pies, and classic vanilla slices. Seating spans both indoor tables and sunlit outdoor spaces, or you can take your hot lunch straight down to the marina benches.

  • Famous Scallop Pie: Stuffed with multiple whole Bass Strait scallops in a mild creamy curry sauce inside flaky pastry.
  • Gateway Bridge Pit Stop: Convenient entry-point pit stop over the San Remo bridge with spacious parking accommodating long road-trip vehicles.
  • Extensive Bakery Range: Beyond seafood, counters stay loaded with sausage rolls, steak pies, cauliflower bakes, and fresh vanilla slices.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, ordering, and parking for your Phillip Island road stop

  • Call Ahead to Hold Popular Pies

    Island Pies is known for lunchtime queues out the door. If you are arriving later in the day or during peak travel hours, call ahead to reserve popular items like the signature scallop pie before they run out.

  • Dedicated Long-Vehicle Parking

    If you are driving a campervan or towing, dedicated long-vehicle parking is available adjacent to the park directly in front of the bakery as you cross the bridge into Newhaven.

  • Take Away to the Marina Benches

    Seating inside can be tight during busy periods. Follow the lead of regulars by taking hot pies and pastries down the road to enjoy on benches overlooking the Newhaven marina and water.
