The UK's number one hot pie brand has just announced the launch of its first range of vegan pies complete with The Vegetarian Society Approved vegan trademark.

The company has been hard at work reinventing two of its well-loved flavours to make them vegan and is pleased to welcome the new Vegan Chicken & Mushroom pie and Vegan Minced Steak & Onion pie to its range of pies.

The Vegan Chicken & Mushroom pie is filled with soy protein vegan 'chicken' pieces with sliced mushrooms and a savoury vegan creamy sauce encased in 144 layers of Pukka's signature golden puff pastry.

The Vegan Minced Steak & Onion pie offers a new take on the traditional recipe and features minced soy protein vegan 'steak' paired with finely chopped onions and a rich gravy.

Perfect for a comforting autumnal meal, Pukka recommends serving the pies with 'a dollop of tasty mash or chunky chips and a side of fresh veg.'
