[Eat & Drink]() Bakery [Balnarring]() # Balnarring Bakehouse The village bakehouse for the Balnarring side of the Peninsula, pies, pastries, and the breakfast sandwich that fuels the Saturday market crowd. Known for Beef-and-Mushroom Pie Saturday Breakfast Sandwich Custard Tarts Village Bakehouse Why we’d go The honest country bakery the Balnarring side relies on, exactly what it is, no more, and that is the whole point. Balnarring Bakehouse is the village bakery the Balnarring side of the Peninsula has relied on for years. The pies and pastries are proper country-bakery standard, a solid beef-and-mushroom, an honest custard tart, a vanilla slice that will not disappoint anyone over the age of eight, and the weekend breakfast sandwich has become the quiet fuel source for half the Balnarring Market crowd on a Saturday morning. There is nothing aspirational about the room. That is exactly why it works. Go on a Saturday morning, grab a coffee and a breakfast sandwich, and walk across to the market with one hand on the paper bag. The Heritage, the village pub, is a short walk up Frankston-Flinders Road for when the market is done and you want to sit down properly. A reliable anchor for any Balnarring-side weekend. The kind of bakery that holds a village together.
