London Pie Reviews
Pierate is a pie review website where we rate pies of all kinds, sweet, meat – we aren’t fussy! Many people will visit London and wonder where they can get the best pie from. Never fear, we have eaten all the pies already and can point you in the right direction. By London restaurant pies we mean anywhere that serves a pie which you can eat on the premises. Of course there are also countless take-away options.
Our top recommendations are below, so click on the pie flavour to see our review. Piebury Corner is the current top recommendation for their pie deli on Holloway Road. But there are also plenty of fantastic options in central London. If you are taking a stroll along the South Bank why not grab a pie from Pieminister at Gabriel’s Wharf? Their pies are now available all over the country but this fantastic setting only adds to the enjoyment.
For an old fashioned pie and mash experience in a relaxed restaurant setting Mother Mash and Battersea Pie Station are highly recommended. These provide a modern take on the timeless classic. Or why not try the original thing? L. Manze in Walthamstow have been serving traditional pie and mash since 1929 and little has changed since then. For a more formal restaurant setting then the Newman Arms Pie Room, Porters and Canteen will be sure to give you a taste for Great British food. Particularly recommended for its range of Pies and obsession with the pastry product is Porters English Restaurant. If you are looking to celebrate, you can push the boat out with Bob Bob Ricard who offer the most extravagent pies we have come across, one of which contains Champagne!
Of couse, London is also full of a wide variety of pubs. A number of the Fuller’s Ale and Pie Houses have been visited and they do an impressive variety of pies in addition to a unique house pie in each establishment.
There are also fantastic pies available throughout the rest of the UK and we recommend you check out our full pie rankings page to see the list of every pie we’ve ever reviewed!
