fergbaker

thefergchain 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, cheese and 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.

it is a part of the popular and legendaryfergnation in the queenstown city.

serving vast and fine varieties of french, italian, german and new zealand's popular bakeries and patisseries. including both savory and sweet delicacies.

we grabbed few scones and croissants for snacking.

it is quite a popular and busy bakery too. so be prepared for a wait or perhaps prolonged wait.

probably the best pie i've ever had, i got thefergsteak and cheese, i should've bought 2 more. definitely a place to check out when in queenstown

another must stop in queenstown. right next tofergburger - cannot be missed. food all looks amazing. definitely going to return again to try even more food!!

amazing its always open convenient place to eat in the mornings. the atmosphere is amazing and the staff are so lovely. one of the best bakery's i've been to. i love the fergbakery,ferggelato and the fergsburger shops there all amazing

amazingfergand cheese pie 😋
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.fergburger next door is a bit overrated butfergbaker 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.

having already had fergburger 4 times and afergpie once (i believe i got steak and mushroom last time), i decided to go and try other pie flavours at fergbaker. my boyfriend recommended the venison, portobello mushroom, red wine and onion pie as that is his favourite and it was really delicious. he got the lamb shank pie and said that’s his second favourite to the venison.

firstly, the pastry was warm, buttery and crispy, which is everything you’ll want in a pie. they even had a cute pastry cut out of a deer (or a lamb if it’s lamb shank pie etc) to distinguish the difference in flavours. the filling was generous, perfect and delicious. the venison wasn’t dry and a bit sweet from the onion sauce. i absolutely loved the onion sauce as it added a kick of sweetness to the savoury sauce. i did however find it lacked a bit in mushrooms but the ratio was more meat to mushroom if you like that.

i highly recommend fergbaker if you can’t be stuffed lining up for a fergburger or want to try something new. my boyfriend said the boston cream donuts are also amazing but i’ve yet to try it!

had thefergpie there this morning. amazing but beef was a big chewy. also had a boston cream doughnut for desert - f ing amaze ing.

with a small latte with extra shot to wash it down. great work. only took one star off because of the chewy beef - an easy fix.

got a chili steak and cheese pie 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 thefergteam do, but the pies could be better.

hungry in the morning? need something sweet and warm ? yes yes ! its time to fergbaker ! exactly on the right side offergburger.
bought the apple crumble bread, cream donut and hot chocholate. they tasted amazingggggg.
the breads were so soft and nice.

fergbaker makes the bread for the more infamous fergburger next door.

the bread is great in these burgers and similarly doesn’t disappoint in their bakery range.

we particularly like the boston cream donut which looks very simple but it truly tastes like they put in a lot of care in making sure the ingredients shine. the cream didn’t taste fatty or too sweet, but like genuine, quality, fresh cream. the donut dough was the right consistency: lightly crispy on the outside, and not overly chewy inside.

the foccacia was simple but delicious.

as usual,fergreally let the ingredients speak for themselves.

recommended :)

at first we hesitated to try thefergburger because it seemed too touristic. but in our last day we decided to give it a try. dont worry about the line, it goes pretty fast. you can have a beer while waiting. and the huge hamburgers worth trying. it was one of the best hamburgers i have ever eaten. no place to sit, we ate it by the lake.

right beside the famous fergburger is the fergbaker, where you'll find tons of baked good including a marriage of almond croissant and chocolate croissant, a chocolate almond croissant (why isn't this available in melbourne? or if there is, it should be made more commonly available).

the pies like thefergpie/ferg steak (they're the same depending if you read it off the board menu or the marker written name on the display) and pork belly were nicely encased in a buttery flaky pastry, size-wise they are bigger and better looking than your standard pie around town. my steak pie had a slightly dried piece of meat, but that didn't ruin the pie experience.

the boston cream donut was also another tasty treat, soft donut with visible vanilla bean in the cream.

ferg burger wednesday -fergbaker 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 blue cheese pies. 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.
