Fat Bastard Pies

What ingredients are added to make the meat and gravy in the pies so dark -? Soy sauce or gravy browning.

Generous with the filling. Average taste. Have had better pies from BP service station. Retried their pies. BP pies definitely better 100%

Absolutely ridiculous… don’t accept pay pass … not sure if you’ve realised but it’s 2022, it was introduced 15 years ago.

Bought a box of 8 after seeing them advertised on tv show
I love pies so just had to try
Disappointed with the fillings
The puff pastry is a winner
The pies are solid and hearty but the fillings in the steak pies are too dry the meat is over cooked and a lack of meat and mushrooms
The lamb (with kumera) was just mashy and needed gravy and lamb
The chicken pies are the best choice
Mince n cheese was ok
Glad I tried them won’t buy again or recommend

NOT a 5 stars as most claims. I reckon they haven't tried really good pies. Had a Mince n cheese and a mutton. $6ea, but pies are larger than normal so no gain/loss. Pastry is very good, nice flaky and puffy. But the Mince n cheese filling is average, no really much better than the local bakery or service station. The mutton filing was a disappointment, bland and not flavorsome at all, looked like luncheon except luncheon tastes a lot better.

Expensive pies, but worth it as the pies were a good size and tasted great. Service was great

Only reason this is not a 5 is because they refuse to include allergy and religious information about their food when you ask.

For example their brie, chicken and cranberry pie is made with a bacon béchamel and sometimes will event contain pieces of bacon.
Great taste just not great if you can't eat bacon.

Really enjoyed the pepper steak, great mix pepper and good sized beef.
But would of liked to buy a T-shirt

Got off to a rocky start as the two types of pies we wanted from their menu weren't available (no mutton today) and seafood wouldn't be ready for another hour.so settled on Creamy chicken and Chicken, Brie and cranberry. These were pretty good. Very big, full of flavour and packed with meat.

Pretty good! Wish they had a second vegetarian option. The only veg pie wasn't available today anyway (or my second choice either), so I ended up going with a mutton pie instead. For my personal taste, it was too heavy and dense - but I imagine those who eat more meat than I do might enjoy that quantity!

I wouldn't dock a star for that alone, since it's a matter of preference, but was a bit disappointed overall. In addition to not having the only veggie pie in stock, they "weren't making large coffees today" (not sure why). So basically I ended up with a third-choice pie and second-choice coffee. Not bad, just a bit of a letdown after fantasies of a Thai curry pie with a nice big coffee, you know?

Long story short: go in without expectations or dietary restrictions, and you'll probably walk out happy!

Pies were bought in Invercargill and flown to Wellington for a team hui. Great flavors and fillings.

Great place for a cheap feed, and with some absolutely delicious pies, sandwiches, and desserts!

Best pies we have had in a very long time. Beautiful pastry, lots of filling, lovely sauce, both a little heavy on pepper only negative.

Some of the best pies I've ever eaten. This place makes all their pies in house and offers plenty of different flavours. Prices are also affordable. They also offer coffee and have few seats by the window inside.

Just got our pie club order and tried Fat Tony's Chicken Parmesan it has to be one of the best pies we have ever eaten. Hope it becomes a regular.

Adding to that last month's pie of the month, Flaming Moo was a fantastic pie as well. Hope it comes back as well

Best little pie shop so far in the South island. Friendly service nice selection of pies and cakes. If ever in Invercargill call in and try a pie or two I did

These pies are legit. I’ve eaten a lot of pies in my day but just had the tastiest one since I can remember. It was a seafood chowder pie. This is a step-up from the usual crowd.

Just got our box of pies. They are the best pies. Lovely filling beautiful pastry
Highly recommend. Buy a box and see for yourself.

Just received my first pie club order. Exceptional Steak and Mushroom pie. Well worth the wait. Can't wait to have another one.

There are no better pies in Invercargill, best mince and cheese in the world. Worth every penny.
