Nothing better than a good ol’ Kiwi pie! Team favourites were pork belly & apple sauce, chicken & cranberry, and butter chicken. Pies x10 from fan favourite Patrick’s Pies in Bethlehem, thanks for the tip @nickbakernz & @lucasbaker https://t.co/MgyRDARXUP

[Locus Research @locusresearch]

@lucasbaker @nickbakernz There certainly weren’t any bad ones! Cajun chicken and pork belly with mushroom also rated quite highly 🤤
