delicious caramel latte, came with a piece of brownie on top! precious! I'm gluten free, but I heard the butter chicken meat pie was divine.

What a treat ! PJ’s Pies is a must do when in Hanmer Springs. Yes there’s pools but it’s so much more than that ! So follow your nose to find the best pie spot this side of the Alps. Such an incredible range including savoury sized mince and cheese - perfect for that second breakfast ! The two ladies are lovely, always up for a yarn and the baked goods aren’t overpriced either ! I went with a Butter Chicken and it was out the gate good. I will be back !

I've been obsessed with butter chicken pies since a lovely South African couple I met on tour told me about them. So naturally that's the one I got from PJ's. And it was the best one I had!
The crust was buttery and flaky. The chicken was juicy. And the curry sauce had depth and was so flavorful. The toasted cumin seeds on top was a nice touch. It was so filling, too! I wish I had the opportunity to try more pies because the butter chicken one exceeded my expectations. According to their website, they use the water from the alpine spring in Hanmer Springs. That's probably why their pies are so good!
Because PJ's operates out of a small building (I think they renovated a park ranger station), there's only outdoor seating which consists of bench tables. Since it's cabinet food, service is quick. And the prices are very reasonable. My butter chicken pie was around $8-$9nzd. With the exchange rate, it was a little less than $5usd.
I've only been here once, but I highly recommend getting a pie here even if you've eaten elsewhere. You won't regret it!
