Rosscoe,you are correct on all points ,some very large points
all natural.The pies and sausage rolls were Boscastle,and the old wood heater on the uneven (droped foundations)floor gave the place heaps of character,you could and did spend a good hour chowing down and drinking too much coffee,just so that you could hang a little longer.I was there the day the girls got the news they had been sold out without them knowing,i asked who the low life was who did it?Was shocked to hear it was dear old mum
I have only been in there once since the reno's,more to see what they had done ,all very tasteful but a bit pricey,so just stick with the Balnarring pie shop now.

Yarra Valley Gold dark ale from Grand Ridge Brewery down in Gippsland. Really good winter beer.
Hey Oliver, I agree with you about the Merricks store. It used to be great and was run by three sisters (when they grew up a bit from being hot teens, to be hot 20 somethings). They used to get these home made sausage rolls which were really good...special recipe or something. It used to be particularly good to tuck into a few hot sausage rolls sitting round their wood heater after a good winter surf.
The story goes that the sisters took over the running of the store from the parents, but when dad died mum sold it out from under them, without them knowing.
Haven't been back there since. Heard it's overpriced and really yuppy.
