Footy pies never looked so good 🥧 If you’re staying in to watch the State Of Origin, up the game day vibes with a delicious Grumpy Baker pie.
Pick up a few freshies or go large with a frozen family-size chunky beef, creamy mushroom with feta, beef goulash, chicken harissa, or Morrocan lamb pie from any of our locations, b**g it in the oven, and no matter how the game ends, you’ll be a winner. 🏉🏆

You might already know the Grumpy one behind Grumpy Baker, Michael. But have you met Lily? 👋
Lily had The Grumpy Baker quite literally baked into her life from a young age - as Michael’s youngest daughter, she was raised among the early mornings, warm ovens and steady rhythm of bakery life.
A few years on, Lily is now our Business Manager, overseeing day-to-day operations across our 11 stores. 🥐🥧☕
