The closure of Mullumbimby Road to outbound traffic for several months has impacted many local businesses with a downturn in trade at a crucial time of year. It has also led to the closure of the famous Uncle Tom’s Pies on the corner of Gulgan Road and Mullumbimby Road.
Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce have put together a pie drive to help this business while it seeks ways to support itself and staff during this challenging time.
Order your favourite pie
Six types of family pies are available to order: Plain Steak (DF); country chicken; chunky steak, tomato and onion (DF); curry lentil (V, DF); or the family apple pie.
You can order pies with regular pastry for $22 or gluten free pastry for $24 and the apple pie for $20.
Pies can be ordered and paid for at the Mullumbimby newsagent, or by filling in the order form, available at the newsagency, including your contact details and Uncle Tom’s will contact you on 25 November for eftpos payment.
You can collect pies on December 3 at Uncle Tom’s or the Mullumbimby Newsagency.
‘We really appreciate the support of the community with this pie drive,’ said co-owner Carol Brooker. ‘It will offer our staff work and assist us to reopen and offer all of our yummy product to the community, when our premises are again accessible.’
