About Hope River Pies

A pie maker in Lyttelton, run by Craig Minehan and a small team, who make gourmet pies, pasties and sausage rolls by hand. The bakery is at 10a Norwich Quay, behind the fish and chip shop, down the gravel driveway. Craig has been making pies for Christchurch people for more than 18 years. He first ran Bridge Street Bakehouse in South Brighton, a café known for its pies, until the 2011 earthquakes closed it, and the pies continued through farmers' markets and shops.

The pies are sold at markets and selected shops across Christchurch and Canterbury, and they can be ordered online for weekly home delivery within Christchurch, and from Lyttelton to Governors Bay. Orders placed online are for the following week's delivery. The website quotes one customer who calls the pies the best in Christchurch. It does not quote any complaints, and the page gives no prices, opening hours or parking details. Open Locally counts two other bakeries within a kilometre.
