Chunk Original: Now Baked & Frozen For You!

Baked is Back! 

You spoke, we listened!

Back in February, we made a pretty big change and started sending your Chunk Original Pies, Pasties and Sausage Rolls frozen and unbaked.

You loved having a freezer full of Chunk at the ready and many agreed that the pastry was beautifully crisp when cooked from frozen. But you also told us, loud and clear, that you really missed the convenience of having us do the baking for you!!

We heard you. And we thought you had a point.

So we've taken everything you loved about frozen Chunk and brought back the bit you were missing...

WE WILL BE BAKING THEM AGAIN!

Your Chunk Original Pies, Pasties and Sausage Rolls will now be perfectly baked by us then frozen, locking in all that awesome freshness until you're ready to get stuck in.

This means you get the best of everything - proper oven-baked flavour, sealed in at its peak, then frozen and ready whenever you are. 

 Even better is that you've now got 3 ways to "Take A Chunk":

1. Cook straight from the freezer - for those "I need a pie and I need it now" moments.
2. Defrost now, heat later - quicker cooking for those who like to plan ahead.
3. Defrost and enjoy cold - we've baked them first, so you don't have to heat at all if you prefer your pies, pasties and sausage rolls cold (some do!).

This also helps if freezer space is a little tight! When your order arrives you can pop some straight in the fridge!

Hang On... The Packaging Says Something Different!

Ah yes, about that...

We've still got perfectly good packaging which still has our old frozen & unbaked cooking and storage instructions printed on it. Chucking all of that away would be a crazy waste...we hate waste!

So we're not going to!

For a little while, what's inside the packaging has moved on faster than what's printed on it, so, while we use it all up, please take note of these shiny new cooking and storage instructions below.

How to Cook Your Chunk Pies, Pasties & Sausage Rolls...

FROM FROZEN: 

No need to defrost. Remove the packaging from your Pies, Pasties and Sausage Rolls (keeping pies in their foil) and place on a lined baking tray.

• Remove the packaging from your Pies and Pasties, (keeping pies in their foil) and place on a lined baking tray.

• Oven: Preheat to 190°C / Gas Mark 5. Heat for approximately 40 – 45 minutes

• Air Fryer: Set to 170°C, Heat for approximately 35 minutes

FROM CHILLED:

• Oven: Preheat to 190°C / Gas Mark 5. Heat for approximately 25 minutes

• Air Fryer: Set to 170°C, Heat for approximately 20 minutes

When heating them...make sure they are piping hot throughout

TOP TIP:  Wait for 5 minutes to let it rest. Then enjoy! (Best not to microwave as this will make our awesome pastry go soggy.)

One Little Thing...

Ovens and air fryers have minds of their own. Some run hot. Some run cool. Some seem to make it up as they go along!

So our timings are a guide. Keep an eye on your bakes while they are cooking and give them a little longer or take them out sooner if needed.

Or... Just Eat It Cold.

Seriously… we've already baked them, so you can defrost your Chunk Pies, Pasties and Sausage Rolls in the fridge and enjoy them cold whenever you're ready.

No oven. No air fryer. No faffing.

HOW TO STORE THEM:

Frozen - Keep Frozen. When defrosted use the same day. DO NOT REFREEZE. They can be kept frozen for up to 9 months.

Defrosted - Keep refrigerated below 5°C. They can be kept chilled for up to 5 days.

Baked Is Back... With Freshness Frozen In!!

We think this is now the best of both worlds. We do the baking, then seal in all that freshness with a fast freeze. You decide how and when to enjoy. 

Thanks for your feedback and we hope you enjoy the change. 

Simon, Suzi & the Hunks.

Go on - Take a Chunk!
