The local Ryan family have been operating this business, now-known as Ranch Pies, for the past six years.
The Ranch Bakehouse was previously located on the corner of Albion and Wood Streets, Warwick.
They decided to make the move to The Factory Precinct at 145 Victoria Street to expand and introduce a new Drive-Thru bakery to Warwick, specialising in delicious gourmet pies, hence the new name – Ranch Pies.
“Our specialty is our pies, we started out more a traditional bakery, doing a lot of bread and that sort of thing but when we came over to here, with the drive-through aspect, we just wanted to concentrate on the pies,” Warren Ryan said.
“That had been our big growth area in the past few years and now that’s our specialty.”
He said they make a variety of tasty pies – perfect to pick up from their extra-wide tradie-friendly drive through.
So, what are their favourite pies?
“The standard plain is the most popular but the roast steak, we have a new pepper chunky steak pie, we do the butter chicken – that’s another one that’s growing in popularity really quickly.
“Also, our rolls – as people are starting to look to eat a bit healthier our salad rolls are another item the tradies are surprisingly buying as well.
“But pie wise, we use local ingredients, we have a local butcher and we only use the real quality stuff. We take our time, it takes as a bit longer to make our stuff but we make sure that the pies we sell are really good.”
As well as the savoury pies customers can also treat themself to some beautiful Apple Pies, Apple Turnovers with cream, Custard Tarts, Vanilla or Caramel Slices, Lamingtons, Bar Cakes and much more!
They even have some Vegan and Low-Gluten options available daily.
Doors and the Drive-Thru window open Monday to Friday 7am – 2pm.
