World Famous Sheffield Pie Shop

Over 40 years of being ‘world famous’, the Sheffield Pie Shop in New Zealand remains as the iconic pie shop to visit.

Sheffield Pies Peppered Steak Pie

New York Peppered Steak ($7.50): Delicious, tender, chunky peppered steak in the fluffy pie topped with grinded pepper.

Sheffield Pie Lambfry and Bacon

Lambs Fry & Bacon ($7.50): Tasty large chunks of sautéed lambs liver with bacon & onions in a rich tomato gravy. Be warned that this is not a flavor many could accept. If you like organs, you would like this.

Sheffield Pies Venison and Whisky Relish

Venison & Whisky Relish ($7.50): Slow-braised tender venison with homemade whisky relish. Yum! I love that their pies all have a very thin base.

World Famous Sheffield Pie Chicken Apricot and Camembert Pie

Chicken, Apricot & Camembert Pie ($7.50): Their pies are so good I even took them for the multi-day great walk hiking trip.

Sausage Roll

The Sausage Rolls ($6.20) with their blend of finely-grinded meat are good too!

World Famous Sheffield Pie Shop
Potato Top Savouries Pies

There were also potato top pies (normal size & savories [mini] size), and the classic savories mini pies, but they were all minced fillings so if you want to try the many flavors, you’ll need to have a big appetite and order the normal size ones.

Fairlie Bakehouse Pie

Fairlie Bakehouse is a family owned and operated bakery that makes amazing gourmet pies in the bustling small town of Fairlie in the Mackenzie Country. They even have a factory behind the bakery & cafe for mass production to be distributed all across New Zealand (see distribution locations here). They also deliver all across the country (minimum 12 pies).

Fairlie Bakehouse Pork Belly with Apple Sauce Pie

One of their most signature pies is the Pork Belly with Apple Sauce Pie ($8.80). The first unique thing you’ll notice is the pork skin cracking on the top of the pie. It can be quite hard as pork cracking tends to harden after cooking. The pork belly was superb, it tasted just like the Chinese roasted pork belly, salty and smoky. The apple sauce, however, didn’t give any special enhancement to the pork belly, but it’s not a deal-breaker.

Other popular signature pies include Bacan & Salmon Pie ($9.50) and Ultimate Steak with Pepper, Cheese & Mushrooms ($9.50).

Daily: 9am – 4.30pm

Pork Belly with Apple Sauce Pie – $8.80

Arrowtown Bakery Steak and Cheese Pie

Arrowtown Bakery, my favorite shop in my favorite small town in New Zealand! Neighboring to the busy Queentown, the rustic Arrowtown offers a modern village vibe where locals and tourists blend in together. The bakery is unofficially a “must-visit” for anyone who dropped by to Arrowtown, known for its famous pies and irresistible “Breakfast Buttie” – Hot fried bacon, egg, hash brown and sausage layered together, sandwiched between a saucy burger bun, freshly baked in the bakery.

Arrowtown Bakery Thai Green Chicken Pie

The pies ($6.80) were my favorite, and I can unashamedly say that I have tried all the pies in this bakery. My favorites are Venison Pie, Steak & Mushroom Pie, and Hot & Spicy Chicken Pie. Even the Vege Pie is surprisingly good!

Why not finish your meal with a guilty slice of sweet desert? I recommend the Custard Slice, Apple Slice, and Carrot Cake, but everything looks so tempting, right? And look at those Cream Donuts and Eclairs! (Those are fresh cream made in the kitchen, why is the key to smooth and fragrant cream)

Fergburger Queenstown New Zealand

Probably the most famous burger joint in the world, Fergburger first started out from a garage off an obscure lane. Eventually, it has became one of the most wanted eateries in almost every international foodies and travelers’ hit list. Is it worth the visit, or is this just a FOMO hype?

When I visited Fergburger during slight off-peak hour, the queueing line was still pretty long. There was a wait before it’s my turn to order, but it wasn’t too bad for me. After ordering my burger, the wait for the food to be prepared was bit longer than the wait to order.

To try the real taste of their good burger, I ordered the most traditional ‘The Fergburger’ ($16.50). It’s the no-nonsense beef patty (prime New Zealand beef) burger with lettuce, tomato, red onion, aioli & tomato relish.

The verdict: Yes, the burger was delicious! The beef patty was juicy and flavorful, and the burger bun had just the right texture and thickness. Everything was fresh (they source the lettuce from the only local premium lettuce farm nearby, rather than the cheaper ones that can only be obtained via longer delivery journey).

Is it worth it?: Looking at the price, I would say it is an excellent value considering the place being in the touristy, expensive Queenstown. A lot of food around here are more expensive than that. It’s much more valuable than McDonald’s to be real! As for the waiting time, if you are not in a rush, it is totally worth the wait. I mean, it’s not the ‘best’ burger in the world, I wouldn’t travel a long way just to eat Fergburger, but it’s a place I’m happy to go and know that I will be satisfied!

Fergbaker Pork Belly Pie

While waiting for my burger, I visited Fergbaker next door to get a Pork Belly Pie ($6.80). The pastry was on point, and the pork belly (layered in fat and tender meat) was superb!

Fergbaker, along with Ferg’s Bar and Mrs Ferg (gelato & sorbets), are expansions of the Fergburger business (each one next to the other).
