Hub Vegan Butta Chick*n -Another stunning flavour added to our Vegan pie range
The chef has been blown away by the popularity of our Vegan pies and we strive to keep it that way by launching new and delicious flavours to keep our customer’s happy.
Our Vegan Butta Chick*n is the new kid on the block. It is made from plant based “hemp chick*n®” cooked in a rich, spicy tomato-based sauce with vegan butter and coconut cream baked in a crisp flaky vegan pastry.
Hemp chick*n® is created using the hearts of hemp seed that is grown in New Zealand. It is a high protein meat-alternative, has a succulent mouthfeel that is closer to animal proteins than other plant-based proteins. It is also low in fat 9g per 100g, and very low in saturated fats (0.9g per 100g).
Our HUB Vegan Butta Chick*n pie is hitting pie warmers now, so head to your favourite Goodtime pie stockist and give it a go.

No 8 Creamy Chicken Pie -It’s back with a delicious NEW recipe
It appears that absence makes the heart grow fonder – a while back we deleted our NO 8 Chicken pie as demand had dwindled. BUT then we started fielding questions “Why don’t you make a plain chicken pie” it seems many people missed having a chicken flavour in the NO8 range.
So, we got busy in the kitchen and changed the recipe – More chicken and no veges.
The new No 8 Chicken pie is chock full of tender chicken pieces smothered in a delicious creamy sauce and wrapped in our flaky pastry. It’s a whopping 230gm so when you need a BIG No Bull feed it’s the one to reach for.
Look out for it in the pie warmer at Goodtime stockists across the motu.
Introducing a new addition to our Hub Gourmet Pie range- Cheeseburger Deluxe
Our chef is always up for creating new taste sensations and Cheeseburger Deluxe is no exception.
We call it the double whammy as it combines 2 kiwi favourites – a cheeseburger and a pie – How cool is that!
From the first bite we know you will be hooked – the delicious flaky pastry, the tender beef chunks cooked in a full flavour gravy topped with onions, tomato ketchup, gherkins and a creamy cheesy mustard sauce, which combines to make a truly delectable taste experience.
We are sure our Cheeseburger Deluxe will become a firm favourite, once you try it you will certainly be coming back for more.
Hunt it down in the pie warmer at all good cafes, dairies.
