British pie brand Pieminister has added a Chana Rama pie to its portfolio of vegan options, made with Bold Bean Co’s Queen chickpeas and said to be its ‘lowest-carbon’ pie ever created.


The pie contains sweet potato, cauliflower, spinach and spices alongside Bold Bean’s chickpeas, and is now available to foodservice operators via the wholesale channel.


It aims to meet demand for high-quality and environmentally friendly vegan options, claimed to offer the lightest carbon footprint of all pies in the brand’s range.



Jon Simon, Pieminister’s co-founder and managing director, said: “Expanding our vegan range is key to our mission of becoming as sustainable and ethical as possible”.


“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.”


The new vegan option joins several recent vegetarian and gluten-free pie launches, including a gluten-free version of the Big Cheese pie and a lighter, filo pastry pie with goat’s cheese. These form part of the brand’s ambitions to broaden its offering and cater to a wider range of dietary requirements.
