Pukka is launching seven new products across its chilled pies and savoury pastry ranges for autumn 2026, including its first-ever lamb pie, a vegetarian Mexican-inspired slice and two additions to its sharing pie range.
The new products will roll out across major UK retailers, combining twists on traditional flavours with seasonal favourites and food-to-go options. All seven launches will feature the brand’s new packaging, which uses recipe-specific colours to help shoppers identify products on shelf.
The line-up includes Lamb, Pea & Mint Pie, Tickled Pink Chicken & Mushroom Pie, Mexican Cheese Slice, Creamy Chicken Pie, The Big One Chicken & Bacon Pie, The Big One Chicken & Gravy Pie and the returning Festive Pie.
Pukka’s Lamb, Pea & Mint Pie marks the brand’s first move into lamb pies. The 205g product combines minced lamb, garden peas and mint gravy in the company’s signature puff pastry. It has a recommended retail price (RRP) of £2.50 and is rolling out across Sainsbury’s, Ocado, Iceland and Asda.
The brand is also introducing a Creamy Chicken Pie, featuring chicken in a creamy white wine sauce encased in puff pastry. Priced at £2.50 for a 205g pie, it will be available at Morrisons, Tesco, Ocado and Asda.
The launch follows the performance of Pukka’s Creamy Pepper Steak Pie, which the company said generated £1.5 million in incremental value spend for the chilled savoury pastry category.
For food-to-go, Pukka is adding a Mexican Cheese Slice to its Slices range. The vegetarian product combines mature cheddar with potato, onion, peppers and chillies in puff pastry. Designed to be eaten hot or cold, the 140g slice has an RRP of £1.75 and will launch exclusively at Tesco from 12 October.
Pukka is expanding its 500g The Big One sharing range with two new flavours: Chicken & Bacon and Chicken & Gravy.
The Big One Chicken & Bacon Pie combines chicken with smoked diced bacon in a creamy sauce, topped with puff pastry and encased in shortcrust pastry. The product has an RRP of £5 and is launching at Asda from 22 October.
The Big One Chicken & Gravy Pie brings the brand’s existing chicken and gravy flavour into a larger sharing format. Also priced at £5, it is rolling out across Sainsbury’s, Ocado, Morrisons and Asda.
According to Pukka, The Big One range has generated £13 million in sales for the savoury pastry category since its launch in 2024.
The autumn line-up also includes the return of the Festive Pie, which combines chicken, pork stuffing, sausages, bacon, seasonal vegetables and cranberries in rich gravy, wrapped in puff pastry.
The 205g seasonal product, priced at £2.50, will be available at Asda, Ocado, Morrisons and Iceland from late October through December.
Pukka is also bringing back its Tickled Pink Chicken & Mushroom Pie in an exclusive partnership with Asda for a second year. The 205g pie will feature distinctive pink packaging in support of Asda’s Tickled Pink initiative, with 17p from every pack sold donated to breast cancer charity partners Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel!. The product has an RRP of £2.50.
Meanwhile, the returning Festive Pie will continue Pukka’s partnership with Young Lives vs Cancer, with 10p from every pie sold donated to the charity, which supports children and young people facing cancer and their families.
Pukka, which has been making pies since 1963, said the autumn range forms part of its wider ambition to become the UK’s leading brand across the total savoury pastry category.
