Pies to the people

The world-famous-in-Blenheim Burleigh Gourmet Pies turned ten-years-old yesterday.

Rod Burdis and Jane Dickenson say they have been busy since opening the store on the corner of Battys Road and New Renwick Road on 1 August 2012.

And in celebration, the pair are giving away a year’s worth of pies and coffee.

“Back then we didn’t imagine that our tiny shop, with a couple of park benches out the front, would one day be ranked a top place to eat by TripAdvisor,” the couple say.

Despite living in an era where kale is king, the Burleigh Gourmet Pies has gone from strength to strength, and in January 2020 their premises moved a few doors down to their current site on New Renwick Road.

Burleigh part-owner, Rod Burdis says they wanted a fun way of celebrating their tenth anniversary with their awesome customers.

“What would be better than a free pie and coffee over the next year?” he says.

“We would love our pie community to get behind the competition and enter to help us celebrate an incredible ten years. Here is to many more.”
