Pies keep Corina on her toes
The Orange community is once again spoilt for choice as Corina Kenny’s famed pies are back on the market and as tasty as ever.
Corina has been at the helm of the Hill Street Grab ‘n’ Go space since December 2019 and says although she may not have had many expectations going into it, after 20 years in the beauty industry, she is loving her change of pace.
“I knew that my pies were really popular (back when I had the Mountain Teahouse), and people would always keep asking me to make them, they would say, ‘you need to start up your pies again’” Corina laughed. “I’ve always been interested in having my own café and I needed a change so when this became available, I didn’t even think about it I just said… ‘yes, I’m going to do it.’”
“I walked in, set up my oven and started cooking. Its back to homemade for me. I don’t do anything fancy, I’m not here to compete with anybody. It’s about good, friendly, approachable service, because that’s who I am.
It seems the word of Corina’s cooking spread quite quick, “The pies are keeping me on my toes that’s for sure, though our sausage rolls are also one of our most popular items, they are quite big and are great value.” The store also offers fresh sandwiches, salads and of course delicious coffee.
“I love our position in town we get a great range of people; everyone from tradies, to school parents and a lot of families from the neighbourhood. People are the best aspect of this business, they come in have a chat, have a laugh, grab their goodies and off they go. Who wouldn’t love being a part of that?”
“I’m so appreciative of everyone who has been supporting me since I opened the doors and particularly of late I’ve had many people giving me lots of shout outs, it’s all very appreciated during this time, word of mouth is so powerful, so we are very lucky.
Along with many others, Corina has made a few changes in the shop to ensure everyone’s safety is the number one priority. You can keep up with everything that is happening on their Facebook page ‘Hill St Grab N Go Corina.’ Corina added, “We recommend our customers use the ‘Hey You App’ this will reduce contact time and waiting around.”
You can find Corina at ‘Grab ‘n’ Go’ at 167 Hill Street, Orange.
