Ulladulla is such a cute little coastal town — proper beachy vibes with that laid-back charm, and Mollymook just up the road is absolutely stunning too. But if there’s one thing you’ve gotta do when you’re passing through… it’s stop at Hayden’s Pies. No joke — everyone who knows, knows. It’s a bit of a local secret (though it’s definitely caught on) and the pies are next level.

Whether you're chasing a classic chunky steak or something a bit fancy like Thai chicken or lamb and rosemary, they've got you covered. The crust is buttery perfection, the fillings are always piping hot and full of flavour — ideal road trip fuel, especially if you’ve been behind the wheel for hours and just need something good in your belly.

It’s super popular but the line moves quick, and there’s a heap of options to take away if you’re not keen to eat in. There’s a few tables out the front where you can sit with your dog too, so yep — pet-friendly if you're just stopping for a quick bite.

Honestly, it’s the perfect little pit stop. Grab a pie, maybe a sweet treat too, stretch the legs, and soak in that easygoing Ulladulla charm. You’ll be stoked you stopped.
