The independent pie manufacturer has added the new Chana Rama Pie to its wholesale range, with the new vegan masala pie available now.
Made with Bold Bean Co’s Queen chickpeas, sweet potato, cauliflower, spinach and warming spices, the Chana Rama Pie was recognised as ‘Best in Class’ at the British Pie Awards 2025.
Pieminister has said that the pie is ideal for foodservice operators looking to meet growing demand for vegan options and is targeting cafes, pubs, farm shop and stadium kiosks. The pie can be heated and served without the use of specialist kit, while Pieminister has eye-catching POS available.
“Expanding our vegan range is key to our mission of becoming as sustainable and ethical as possible,” said Jon Simon, Pieminister co-founder and managing director.
“We don’t assume ‘plant-based’ equals low impact, so we conduct our own rigorous supply chain audits. That means working with like-minded partners like Bold Bean Co, who meet our high welfare standards and guarantee their ingredients are deforestation-free.”
This is the latest meat-free launch from Pieminister, which has also recently added ‘potato and leek’ and ‘cheese and sweet potato’ pies to its range.
Founded in 2003 by Simon and his co-founder Tristan Hogg, Pieminister is a certified B Corp and has the stated aim of reaching net zero carbon emissions across Scope 1,2 and 3 by 2040. With that in mind, the firm has created a ‘pie emissions calculator’ which it used to determine that the Chana Rama Pie was its lowest-carbon offering ever.
