It’s British pie week, so what better time to head down to Pieminister’s brand new restaurant to try out some of their veggie pies – including their newest creation submitted by one of you lot out there.

So much newness, can you even handle it?

The new Pieminister joint on Broad Quay in central Bristol is so on brand. We walked in from a very bright day to a very black restaurant.

We decided to take a seat in the sunny window, and then we took our time looking over the menu. I really like that Pieminister do topless pies (cheeky) as well as hot pots, topped with potato – no pastry at all, so all of you gluten free lot can still enjoy the tasty goodness.

In a bid to encourage more veggie pie consumption, Pieminister have Meat Free Monday every week, which means 50p off all veggie pies.

I chose the Green Goddess, which is one of their open top pies with spinach, feta butternut squash and chickpeas, with a creamy sauce and poppy seeds over the top.

He chose the Saag Pie-Neer – the newest addition to their range – which is crammed full of peas, paneer, spinach, potato and mango, with lovely warm curry flavours.

Our friendly waitress told us that their signature gravy probably wouldn’t really go with these pies, and recommended salsa or chutney instead, so we got one of each, as well as both of the slaws, and mash… because what is pie without mash?

The mash was smooth and creamy, the slaws crunchy and tasty, I don’t even need to mention the veggie pies again really, as they were perfect, as always.

You can find a Pieminister near you here, and if there isn’t one near you, never fear – you can buy Pieminister pies online and cook them in your very own oven.
