fergbaker

we ordered a vegetable pie and a beef and bluecheesepie 🥧 with a side of cream donut. my vegetable pie are just alright, because it’s just warm inside not hot. but my partner really enjoys his beef pie and cream donut. so 3 stars ⭐️

the ferg chain has expanded out to a bakery which is next to its most famous sibling, the fergburger.

fergbaker serves freshly baked pies, breads and a variety of sweet pastries and treats.
we came here for lunch and couldn’t resist getting one of the pies. i had the lamb pie which was amazing. the pie had tender lamb shank chunks in tasty gravy. the pie pastry was extremely light and didn’t feel heavy at all.

we were also tempted to try the sausage roll, there were no regrets ordering this. the meat filling was a mixture of pork belly and mince and was well seasoned with fennel seeds.

and we enjoyed the bakery so much we cam back a second day for lunch. i really wanted to try one of their specials. chicken pie with mustard,cheeseand chardonnay. i don’t normally order chicken pies but this one i had no regrets. it was a beautiful, creamy filled pie which was so comforting to eat. again, the pastry was crispy, light and flakey.

the queue to fergbaker isn’t nearly as long as the fergburger queue and i think the pastries here at just as good as the burgers. the bakery surely gets the overflow of the burger clientele who are too hungry to wait. with pastries this good, there is no disappointment there.

amazing ferg andcheesepie 😋
it was crispy on the top and tender as meat with cheese. super flavourful.
have to mention the almond croissants
10/10 for quality and taste

this bakery is amazing!!! all the pastries were top notch and reminds me of french bakeries. i tried the pain au chocolat, roasted pumpkin savoury danish and almond croissant and all were absolutely delicious. i'd love to come back to try the other things especially the sandwiches and pies. ferg burger next door is a bit overrated but ferg baker is definitely underrated.

edit:
came back to try the chicken & mushroom pie,cheese& bacon scone, chorizo pizza, roasted cauliflower, pumpkin and buffalo mozzarella baguette, and the famed boston cream donut. loved them all but don't think the boston cream donut is worth the hype but that may be because i'm not a big fan of donuts and way too much cream inside, and i prefer pastries and sandwiches.

chocolate eclair was too rich & needed cream!
prices are gourmet but worth it!
steak &cheese$7.20 (great!)
lamb shank $7.20 (great!)
mince &cheese$6.80 (was too salty!)
venison $7.20 (awesome!)

got a chili steak andcheesepie yesterday from here. to be honest, a little expensive for a pie and have had better pies. the pastry was good, i'd say not far from being on point. the pie was a tad dry for my liking and didn't have much cheese. also, calling it chili steak is a bit misleading. it had a touch of chili.

there was quite a bit of empty space which means they're going a little tight on the filling.

i love the burgers the ferg team do, but the pies could be better.

very nice staff and quick service! everything looked so good and so i wanted to try it all, but because it was cold, i decided to go with a mince andcheesepie. it was delicious. the pastry was so puffed and crispy, and the filling had a lot of flavour. this pie definitely fuelled me up for the day. although the prices are a bit high, i would still recommend coming to fergbaker when you're in queenstown

ferg burger wednesday - ferg baker today! these places never seem to stop pumping! pushed our way through the masses and settled on one pork belly pie, and two steak, mushroom and bluecheesepies. they were all super good, and three satisfied punters all round! mrs also had to get a chocolate au pain, which looked really great with wide chocolate stripes for decoration on top, and i thought it a solid 8/10, although she was less impressed for some reason? very satisfied, and would be happy to revisit for another round of something different.

one of my favourite place to visit while i queue for ferg burger. the best bakery in here i think. the prosciutto plait and their pie so good. i like the steak ncheesepie. definitely need to try when you visit here

had a mince &cheesepie which was really nice. good pastry and thick chunks of mince with flavour. also had a quinoa baguette which was beautiful, a garlic andcheesefocaccia, and a beef brisket panini which was the only disappointing thing. and even as good as the bakery is it seems it still did nothing to sway the many people lined up to see its closest neighbour fergburger

definitely a great bakery. its overpriced but youre also paying for the name. i tried the lamb shank pie and it was divine. hopefully i will get to try the mince andcheesesomeday. i couldnt because they were sold out and were still making some more.

pies pies pies!!
if you're a kiwi pies are life. while being in queenstown i had the chance to try out three pies and also fergs version of a boston cream donut.
the pies i had were the lamb shank pie, ferg pie(prime nz rump diced braised caramelised onions and cracked pepper) and also the fergcheesepie.
overall such great pies and some of the best pies i have had and i have a lot of pies haha.
if you're ever in queenstown it's a must have. opening hours are pretty good as well from 6am till 4am which is awesome if you're looking for something to eat after a wild raging night out in town. quite an enjoyable pie experience!
the donut was also nice treat not the best boston cream i have had but good enough. go a long and enjoy!

i love this place ! the sesame bagel with creamcheeseis out of the world! in my 6 day trip here i ate it every single day for breakfast !

update: bought a veggie pie again tonight... it was over cooked and dry. disappointing.




delicious baked goods here!!! the pies are amazing!! my hubby has tried the venison, chorizo, pork belly, steak andcheesepie. i had a vegetarian pie- hands down the best veggie pie i have anywhere. the service could have been better, as in, more welcoming and friendly but maybe we just has workers on their off day or something. we will be back for more.

if you’re looking for decent coffee in queenstown, then look no further than fergbaker. this quickly became our favourite coffee spot, as our coffee was always strong and extra hot, plus it is only $4 – bonus!

their food cabinets were also consistently filled to the brim with many sweet and savoury foods. i particularly recommend theircheeserolls, an almond croissant or a huge slice of sweet pie!!!
