Apple rhubarb pie review. This place is busier than a church at Christmas (or is it Easter? Whatevs). The one dessert pie comes out hot enough to fry skin on contact, which is no drawback. The big plus is the puff pastry on the top, contrasting the short crust base. A very sophisticated choice, made only by someone who knows their pies, and appreciates contrast. It would be a 5* experience except for the filling; a veritable apple and rhubarb puree. It's harder to handle than a greased up pig in a mosque. The base can't cope and crumbles into the soup. It's all quite yummy. But if you're driving, the next call is to your insurer.
Grabbed a pie each and sausage roll to share. We had beef,cheese and bacon, and chicken,cheese, bacon and spring onion from memory?
They were amazing. Pastry was beautiful.
We called into another bakery on the way home from our holiday (I won't say where- not Ulladulla) and when my son had his I asked how it was and his response was "pathetic compared to Hayden's" 🤣
Definitely worth the drive. Can't wait to try other flavours
I heard a few people walking around town mentioning this pie place so I thought I'd check it out. Pretty good pies I'd say. I mean I got the honey roasted pumpkin with feta for something different. It was a little sweet but I mean I ate it all so it was tasty. I'd stop by again if I was passing thru town. Plenty of options available too for all the pie lovers. Freshly cooked.
Love my pies, and absolutely love Hayden's Pie shop in Ulladulla
Visited with my partner on the 29th Jan 2022 on the way home to Sydney after staying in Mollymook. A good friend recommended we visit here and it is the best recommendation!
We bought the frozen Irish Beef Guiness (pictured), Butter Chicken, Mussaman, Goat cheese and wild mushroom(?) which my partner describes as " f.....g delightful!" and sausage rolls which we are currently eating( bl...y delicious!)
Wish there's an option to order and deliver to Sydney...so I hope....as this is hands down the best pie shop in NSW!!!
Wiah it wasn't so far away and we can just pop by regularly
Love Haydens pies. They are a meal in themselves. Generously filled with delicious flavours with a thicker more rustic pastry. Huge fan, always a must when travelling south.
My fave; steak and green peppercorn sauce. Chunky, superb.

I drove past this shop last Friday on the way to Batemans Bay for the weekend with fresh seafood cravings . Driving back to Sydney today I told the Mrs I’m going check out Hayden’s Pies.
For starters the line of customers was all the way to the carpark & that’s a great sign of expecting a damn good product with high turnover. The trusty staff at the counter were very efficient & it was a short wait for 2 extraordinary pies that I purchased . I destroyed the chunky steak pie 🥧 in no time & kept the steak n mushroom pie for a reheat at home as per photo .
I have no affiliation with these folks but truth be told these pies are unreal . Nice big chunks of tender beef & (no bloody fat or offal ) surrounded by a top notch gravy and massive sized cuts of mushroom. Pastry is golden & crusty .
Well done 👍 Awesome 👏 🥇🏆
P.S plate is large , pie was most generous
Exceptionally good pies and we’d rank it very high up on our list. We’ve been to many bakeries up and down the coast around Sydney, so this is something.
Our favourite is the Chunky Steak and Mushroom. Remember to get some Portuguese Tarts for the road as well!
Being avid foodies, my partner and I took a road trip through the region to go to Smalltown and Gwylo. We discovered Hayden's pies on a drive around town - it ended up being our favourite eatery on the trip. The pies are reasonably priced, use good quality meat, real butter, and have all the comfort of proper homemade pies. We even took some frozen pies back to Canberra with us - I don't think we were the first people to do that! They also have a huge variety to choose from.
