It's 38 (106) degrees outside. My wife has just purchased a coffee and a vanilla slice (both very…read moregood). I neither wanted a coffee or one of the selection of flavored don't drinks. I asked for a glass of cold tap water, and yes you guessed it, was refused! Profit before service!

There's many a good bakery in the far flung outposts of civilisation scattered around South…read moreAustralia, and the Ardrossan Bakery is one of them. This pleasantly welcoming family business lies in the very heart of Ardrossan's hot cafe strip - there's a coffee shop a few doors away - and it does a particularly fine pasty along with a mouth-watering selection of other baked goods. We seated ourselves comfortably at a big timber table in the spacious dining area and attacked a pasty each. I went for a sausage roll as well, accompanied by the ever-reliable 600ml Farmers Union Iced Coffee. The pasty looked good; an encouraging start. The shape and colour were near perfect, with the golden pastry flaky around the edges and the whole fat and shiny over the filled area. My usual pre-consumption dissection of the pasty revealed meat, potato and marrow and possibly a pea within, including a healthy dusting of pepper. Perhaps there could have been a little more filling, but quantity is never a substitute for quality. Closing the pasty up again and offering it to the palate confirmed the quality of this item of regional fare. Hot, with a single squirt of cooling, premium tomato sauce directly injected, the high standard of the filling was complemented by the casing's layers of flaky pastry. Yum. The sausage roll was good too. Its pastry was flaky and fully cooked without any accumulation of fat from the filling on the bottom of the roll. Inside was a tasty mix of meat with some finely cubed carrot. An ideal follow-up to the delicious pasty, and more than competitive with anything available in the distant metropolis. I sat there, draining the last of my Farmer's Union Iced Coffee, looked across at my pretty companion as she delicately chomped her lunch, and thought smugly. 'I doesn't get much better than this!' Ardrossan was absolutely pumping on the Monday of our visit. A car went past, then, just as we were leaving, another one went past, and we saw a man with a dog walk into the motor repair business opposite. Who says this is a sleepy rural village! Later, driving through the relative quiet of the Yorke Peninsula hinterland, we agreed that the Ardrossan Bakery was well worth a return visit, and enjoyed another couple of pasties there on the way home.
