Hold The Animal as Magpye's New Roast Chick'n Dinner Pie is The Future Wrapped In Pastry

LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE

Confession time - this writer is a full-blown plant-based pie tragic. My kryptonite? A properly spicy vegan butter chicken pie from the BP servo and with a flaky crust and just enough ooze to stain my polo. So when news dropped UK vegan pie hustlers Magpye had released a Roast Chick’n Dinner Pie, I knew we were witnessing something sacred.

It’s exactly what it sounds like, a Sunday roast re-imagined, wrapped in golden pastry and dripping with gravy. Chick’n, carrots, peas, creamy mash tatties, the works. Served up 100% vegan, zero palm oil, and with all the ‘proper flavour’ Magpye swears by.

This isn’t health food. It’s heart food.

And it hits different. Whether you’re plant-based or just pie-curious, this thing is pure nostalgia with a conscience. You get the same roast dinner feels without the heavy footprint (or the post-feed guilt spiral). It’s the kind of food that warms your belly and makes your nan question her life choices.

Magpye has made a name for itself turning classic Brit pies into plant-based cult hits with their ‘steak’ and ale pie pure legend, and don’t even get me started on the mince and cheese. But this latest drop? This is a cultural moment disguised as comfort food.

Check the plate - buttery pastry, mashed spuds, glossy brown flowing gravy, and greens just so you feel like an adult. It’s dinner, it’s dessert, it’s therapy.

What’s next? The full English breakfast pie? A vegan hāngi pie with smoked mushrooms and kumara? We’re ready.

For those needing a peek at vegan butter chicken pie breaking appetites in NZ then here it is.

One thing’s clear, pies like these are more than just tasty - they’re signals. Signals the plant-based sector is growing up, chowing down, and bringing flavour, fun, and fantasy to the dinner table.

Sadly, it’s only available in the UK for now, but surely it’s time ANZ stepped up its pie game? Because if we can get vegan butter chicken into a pastry shell (bless you, whoever you are), we can bring the roast home too.
