Really disappointing trip to the restaurant today. Had booked weeks in advance to coincide with a show at the hippodrome but was greeted by quite an unwelcoming waitress. She took our order and was told there would be a 30 min wait on food which would have been ok as we had planned to have a good 1hr and 30mins there but then we were waiting for 40+ mins with not even drinks being served. After querying with another member of staff, we were told our order was never submitted, so we weren't going to get our food either. Couldn't delay food any longer so had to leave disappointingly. Such a shame as we were really looking forward to it. We feel the whole situation could have been dealt with in a much more professional manner. Disappointing to say the least.

Today was my fourth visit to this Pieminister restaurant and the second time I was disappointed. Both times the pies and extras were good, but the mash and peas were tepid as they were served, and cold by the time I had finished the meal.

Had a reservation for 9… luckily we made one cos as soon as we walked in we were greeted by the host saying they stop taking walk ins at 8…. Weird choice of greeting, and also weird time to cut off business since they close at 10.There was only a table sat having drinks …. We told them we had a reservation…. She checked and didn’t seem happy to seat us. We just ordered 2 pies, the came out hot & quick, food was great. We were out by 930. The vibe wasn’t very welcoming, we felt like a burden in the empty restaurant

Really difficult to write a review because the food is genuinely excellent and very reasonably priced but the service is non-existent. No-one comes (without request) to take your order, no-one comes to check, no-one clears plates or follows up on desserts or drinks. The most galling thing though is the highly ironic MANDATORY service charge. When I queried about it because the service is so non-existent, I was told there was nothing he could do and that his "manager was terrible, so feel free to write a poor review" just seriously unprofessional. As though not being aware of customers is purely a manager's fault, you have eyes too lad.

Probably some of the best food I've ever eaten, let alone the best pie! It's often hard to find a vegan pie when eating out, so the range was great - I went for the This Isn't Chicken and Bacon, with cheesy (vegan) chips and gravy... absolutely delicious! I'm still thinking about it days later! Also had a very gorgeous cocktail, and the staff were lovely and attentive. My partner, who is not a huge pie fan, had the vegan steak one and loved it! Overall, absolutely recommend - especially if you visited from down South like us and can't visit again nearby! (Pieminster please open a restaurant in Brighton!)

Can’t go wrong with Pieminister - they make the best pies. Tbh i probably wouldn’t go back to eat them out though , this restaurant isn’t set in the nicest of locations but is convenient. Service was really slow - over 40 mins from ordering to receiving - it’s only Pie (albeit great pies) and mash so not sure why it took so long. Toilets could do with a clean / refresh Pies were tasty but portions of sides were a bit tight , Pie and two sides was better value than the mothership as it came with about 3x the amount of peas on the mothership (mothership comes with a measly sprinkling of crispy onions and cheddar cheese)

Sort of unique to Bristol but worth a visit. The Pies were all very delicious and filling with the sides. The menu is a bit confusing to be honest which was unusual for me. They do also do great cocktails too which also went down equally well with the Pie's. Good service and central location. The staff were very friendly helpful and friendly. I would definitely like to visit when in Bristol again.

### Pieminster in Bristol - A Pie Lover's Perspective Pieminster in Bristol offers a range of tasty pies, including some intriguing varieties that are sure to catch your eye. The Treaty pies, in particular, stood out with their hearty fillings and flaky crusts. However, while the sides were decent, they didn't quite justify their price tag. The gravy was disappointingly watery, which detracted from the overall experience. Despite these minor shortcomings, Pieminster's prime location adds to its appeal. Sometimes, you just need a good pie, and this spot delivers on that front. If you're in the area and craving a comforting pie, Pieminster is worth a visit.

Delicious food horrible service. If you have a gluten allergy avoid the table condiments. Waited about 20 minutes at our table before we were acknowledged. Gave us the wrong drink and walked away before we could tell them. Didn’t come back to check on us until we were finished with the meal. Made server aware of allergy at the beginning…it would have been helpful if they would have mentioned that the table condiments contained said allergen.

As hoped for, pies were of good quality. We have Sunday Best on menu. Potatoes were cool on arrival, rest of meal was hot, but cooled pretty quickly - no doubt due to the blast of cold air firing from the air conditioning unit. Service was a bit odd with constant to a couple as “ you guys”, but worst of all was an approach asking if we would like the bill as a hadn’t finished eating my dessert. Food decent, service absurd

I sent the manager an email cause I couldn't find this place on tripadvisor but now I've found it (whoops 😆) but here's my email! To the manager of Pieminister in Bristol Broadquay, I'm emailing you personally as I was unable to find your location on tripadvisor and I don't want to create a whole new email account to leave a review on google maps 😞. That being said I strongly believe in letting management know when they're doing a good job so I just wanted to let you know that me and my sister had an absolutely lovely experience when we were there the other day! The prices were higher than expected but that's the city centre for you!😆 Both me and my sister enjoyed the food and of course the alcohol!!🍾🍾 And our experience was made even better the guy who served us, he was patient as we struggled to make up out minds on what pies to order, (my sister thinks he's cute 🤢) but in all seriousness, he was a genuinely nice guy and added just that little bit extra to our experience! 10/10 would come back again and will be telling all my friends and family in Bakewell to visit if they're ever in Bristol!!🤩🤩🤩 Thank you and Bristol for giving me and my sister a wonderful experience! 😘

I'm just going to start that the person called James did a sterling job and managed to rescue a really bad start. May I suggest the supervisor look for another career because service industry is not their strength. Fair play you might be having a bad day but to make me and my client with learning disabilities feel unwelcome simply because my client wanted to eat outside. The response was abrupt and almost accusatory, you can but you have to come inside and order and pay immediately. Baring in mind my client has restrictive mobility too this wasn't exactly a response I we were expecting. James however talked to us like humans and although I did have to go inside and leave my client at the outside table alone he was friendly and bought our food out which again was reasonably good and presented well. Sadly for James my client decided he didn't want to leave his usual tip because he felt unwelcome to begin with even though he had done his best to make amends. I agreed. The location of this place was perfect for my client as he loves sitting outside watching buses. Yet we won't go back to Pieminster again. I hope they realise how important good service is and train staff to represent their company in a positive way. I was a head chef for 15 years and if any of the great team I worked with conducted themselves in the manner we were treated today they certainly wouldn't be part of our team very long if at all.

I’m not a massive pie person, in fact I really do not enjoy them, but I’d heard glowing reviews of their vegan pies and the This Isn’t Chicken & Bacon one sounded tempting. First of all, the service was impeccable. The man who served us (he had lived in Bristol for 5 years, not sure of his name) was lovely and took the time to speak to us and actually engage in normal conversation. There was also a woman who came across when they were sold out of the parsnip fritters that came with my food, helping me find something else to go with my pie as I didn’t like the other option of peppers (I’m fussy!). We were in and out quickly, which was fantastic as we had a coach to catch, and couldn’t recommend this enough (if you like pies). On the pie itself: it was very filling in every sense of the word, my only notes are that I think the gravy and mash massively let it down – the mash was too dry, like it was missing vegan butter, and the gravy needed to be thicker to give that more homely feel. Overall, don’t knock it until you try it and, if you love pies, you’ll love this.

The service is slow. It takes a long time to place an order and even longer to receive the food. The staff are not welcoming. Additionally, please fix your staff door; it is incredibly loud, especially with frequent use. This creates an unpleasant environment, which is not suitable for anyone who is neurodivergent. Absolutely not worth the price won’t be coming back

The good points: the pie was delicious and then venue had a nice feel to it, good vibes and a variety of diners of all ages. The bad points: the bottomless brunch includes bottomless gravey, no one asked us during our entore meal if everything was ok or if we wanted more gravy, getting a server was difficult. We had zero drinks whilst eating. The cocktails came out in the tiniest glasses i have ever seen, literally 3 sips and theyre gone. It then took approx 30-40mins to get another drink. Another bottomless table came in half way through our time and started off complaining after 10mins as they had no drinks so the waitress got confused and gave my table drinks to the other table. The other table in 40mins had 2 bottles of prosecco and 8 cocktails. After pointing out those were my 2nd lot of cocktails that was going to that table i was told 'more are coming'. 10mins later i complained. By brunch time came to an end and after i complained we were offered a bottle of prosecco to extend the time and another round of cocktails- which we did recieve that time. I would never consider doing a bottomless brunch here again. I would potentially go to another pieminisyer for the pie, it really was delicious.

Unfortunately my experience here was awful. We waited 30 minutes for drinks and an hour for food. Multiple items were incorrect. There were few customers in the restaurant at the time, all of whom were complaining. Apparently the chef wasn’t in. Perhaps the restaurant should not have been open. The chicken, ham and leek pie was tasty, but not tasty enough for an hour wait.

Met a group of friends for my 30th birthday dinner at 8pm on Saturday 10th as heard good things about the food. Wish I had read the Google reviews before going as something is going wrong at this restaurant. While I waited to be seated two of my friends went to use the toilet, a member of staff on the bar with blonde curly hair and make up asked my friends very rudely what they were doing and they had to explain we had a booking and were going to eat but they wanted to use the toilet. It's 2024 we shouldn't be challenging people who want to use a toilet as not all conditions are visible, I used to work in a restaurant and would never prevent someone using a toilet. Toilets had no soap and are dirty/tired. We then sat down and waited ages to get served especially as there were only four other tables in the restaurant, two of which had already finished and the two staff were just stood at the bar. My guests asked if they should go to the bar to order as it was looking like it wasn't table service. The brunette waitress with braces took our order but was awkward, didn't know one of the drinks we had asked for wasn't served. It took over half an hour for pre prepared pies and sides. Pies were tasty sides were average. We thought the mash was missing to start with as was a small smear under the pies. I saw the food sat on pass but the waitress with braces kept talking to the lady with blonde curly hair and eating chips. Waitress with braces then started laughing as she nearly dropped a plate and then stood for a few minutes laughing with other waitress. Meant food was not very hot as had just been sat on side and was delivered very slowly one by one (no urgency). Had to ask for the bill wasn't offered to see a dessert menu. Waitress with blonde curly hair didn't say bye or even smile when we left.

I rated the food 3 as we never got to try it! What we saw coming out around us looked delicious. From the moment we arrived the service was bad. We asked the lady serving us if we could have a window seat (mainly to keep our 2y.o old the way and distracted looking out window) "no" came the terse reply "those tables are reserved". 10 mins later someone arrived stating they hadn't booked and were seated at that table. Oh well, maybe a misunderstanding. Drinks were served quickly. However after that we sat there for over an hour waiting, watching tables come in after us, be served, eat their food and pay without any acknowledgement from the servers who must have noticed we'd been there for ages without food. When I asked the lady if we'd been forgotten she said "no we're just busy" no sorry, just rudeness. We had been forgotten as I saw them then hastily chuck the pies on. They promised itd be 3 mins. 10 mins later we asked for the bill for our drinks and left. Not so much as a sorry but a half hearted "your food is ready now" from the lady as we walked out the door. The young lad serving us was pleasant enough but the lady needs to seriously work on her customer service (of which she had none). Waste of over an hour and a pity as the food looked good.

Probably the worst service I have ever received in a restaurant. Booked a table for 6 people for 3pm, and turned up at 2.40pm hoping to maybe have a drink before food. We're told to go away and come back later - even though the restaurant was half empty (and our table was free - just needed to be cleaned). Returned again at 3pm and they were confused why we were back - our table still had the same dirty plates and glasses on as 20mins earlier. Had to wait in the doorway for 10mins while they rushed to tidy a table. Once seated, then had to go up to the counter to ask about ordering drinks, as no one had come to us after 20mins of sitting down. After food was delivered - some of the pies were burnt and unable to eat the casing - had to request cutlery as well. Came to pay and had to ask to have the service charge removed - which was embarrassing considering the service we had been provided. I would understand if the restaurant had been really busy, however, there was only 3 or 4 tables seated in there and 5/6 members of staff just stood around the bar chatting. One staff member in particular with dreadlocks had a seriously bad attitude; slamming doors, throwing things down on tables, eye rolling at customers, and muttering under his breath about customers within earshot. Really disappointing considering we'd had Pieminister pies previously at the Raven Pub in Bath which were great. Would not recommend coming here. Awful.

This place get's five stars because after 17 years of working in hospo I have never seen anyone work as hard as the guy did tonight (17/02). He was the only floor staff working and managed to run food, run drinks, manage tables and run the front desk. Food was excellent too, was the venue and the service perfect? No, but the guy working tonight is a star. Many people (myself included) would have had a meltdown on a Friday night like that but he was professional and friendly to the end.

Had a 5:30 booking as we were in town to see Wicked at the Hippodrome at 7:30pm. We arrived on time, were seating and ordered within around 20 minutes, as that is how long it took for someone to approach our table after we were seated. We ordered simple drinks (a beer, a cider and a ginger beer mocktail) but our drinks did not arrive until 6:30 (no water was brought either). We asked where our food was at 6:50, and let them know that we had somewhere to be at 7:30, and they said it was just coming out. By 7:10 there was still no sign of it so we had to say we would pay for our drinks but we had to go. No apology or reason for the delay was given. Pies seemed to be sitting under the hot plate for 20-25 minutes. When we left the restaurant was full of people but no one actually had any food. Apart from when we ordered our drinks and food and were delivered our drinks, no staff came to check on us at all. The wait staff seemed very busy at all times and I’m sure this wasn’t their fault, but I don’t know what caused such a delay and why we weren’t told they would be such a delay as this.

Very disappointing. Arrived at 5:30 and ordered a bottle of cider and pie. At 6:30 the drink finally arrived which was just as well dehydration was setting in as we were not offered any water. At 7:00 we asked when our dinner was coming and were told we were next. 15 minutes later we left after paying for our drinks. No apology no offer of a discount for the almost 2 hours we had waited. As we left we failed to spot any one who actually had any food! If there was a kitchen problem they could have told people so we could go somewhere else to eat rather than sitting there ignored and unfed

Booked at 6pm for a pre-theatre dinner for 4. Our drinks were not served until 7pm, and food came at 7.10pm with a side missing. We had to scarf it down to make the 7.30pm curtain and did not enjoy it at all. The only discount we were offered was one free side of mash (because they'd forgotten to bring it and put it on the bill, so they didn't bother). The table next to us had exactly the same issue, but they got a 25% discount! We didn't argue about the bill because we had literally two minutes to get to the Hippodrome (the staff knew this). Absolutely appalling, worst service I've ever had in Bristol. Will not return.

Good location, food was great, and good value. Staff were unhappy and this came across as rude - to the point they didn’t want us there.

Very disappointed. We absolutely love Pie Minister and booked the Broad Quay restaurant as we were in town for the evening. While we were queuing up a family just leaving told us they had to wait 1 1/2 hours to be served and by the time we were met by the staff they said it would be at least an hour's wait. This was early Sunday evening, so not a particularly busy period. As I said, we love Pie Minister and have had lots of home deliveries and shop bought pies but this experience was seriously substandard.

Have previously had lovely food and service in this branch. Went after the dinner rush (around 20:30pm)this evening and found a half empty restaurant but was told by staff that they could not seat us (a party of 2) as there was only two people working and they needed to "clean up" despite the restaurant closing at 11pm. Not sure why a business would turn away trade when the restaurant is very quiet..... Proceeded to the Stokes Croft branch and was seated immediately with only one person servicing the entire restaurant and doing a fantastic job of it. Very different atmosphere to the Broadmead branch which I will not be returning to.

We (a party of 7) arrived without a booking on a Saturday lunchtime and the waitress (Izzy) was able to fit us in. We all had different orders but nothing was a problem. All of our pies were tasty, hot and full of delicious ingredients. Izzy was extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome, she was attentive but not intrusive. Would thoroughly recommend it and look forward to returning on our next trip to Bristol

What an amazing find, fabulous Full English Breakfast, up there with the best I've ever had. All perfectly cooked with great taste. Tea served in lovely teapots. Shame don't live closer as can't wait to come back again. Credit to the young men who run the place.

The man in double denim (I know right in 2024 out of fashion) shouted at our group to get out of the way. Double denim or not you should have respect for the people paying your wages. Do better.

We live round the corner and having been previously for a meal midweek, we decided to go for my partners birthday dinner with the kids and her parents on a Saturday eve. Pros: easy booking online Good kids menu Really nice staff Noise level blocked out our kids (see cons) Cons: pretty expensive. Small fish and chips £20. Although was tasty) Noisy- was far too loud to hold a conversation, with people yelling over the (mainly good) music. It was however a Saturday night and apart from the kids we were all over 40, so maybe that’s an us thing. Wouldn't go back on a weekend but would go as a couple midweek as the food is nice
