Pieminister in Bristol, City of

Went with my mum for one of her favorite pies and got greeted by welcoming staff that was nice and friendly. The food was great and our waitress Jessica checked to make sure we was enjoying our food and kept the service quick and professional 10/10 for all.

Adorei maravilhoso. Típicas comidas inglesas. O doce pudim toffe de comer de joelhos. Atendimento super agradável. Aconselho

First experience with British Pie in the UK. I loved it!

Great pie! Friendly staff looked after us, thank you Jessica!

Excellent pies and beer. Staff were really friendly and kind to our dog, even giving him water and lots of scratches. Jessica was a fantastic host. Very good prices.

As someone born and raised in Bristol, I have always felt a sense of pride when I see local businesses grow and thrive, and Pieminister is a perfect example of that. Knowing it started right here in my hometown makes supporting it feel even more worthwhile. From the moment we stepped inside, the experience was warm and welcoming. The service was genuinely outstanding. In particular, the lady with glasses and several badges on her uniform really made our visit special. She struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space, checking in on us throughout the meal to make sure we had everything we needed. Her friendly attitude and professionalism truly enhanced our dining experience. It is rare to find such thoughtful service these days, and she deserves to be recognised for it. The food was just as impressive. I opted for the cheese pie, served with creamy mashed potato and a generous helping of vegetarian gravy. Every element of the dish was delicious. The pie had a crisp golden pastry with a rich cheesy filling that was full of flavour without being overpowering. The mash was smooth and comforting, and the vegetarian gravy tied it all together beautifully. It is clear that a lot of care goes into both the ingredients and the preparation. The restaurant itself was beautifully designed and well laid out. I particularly appreciated the warm ambient lighting, which created a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. It felt inviting without being too casual, perfect for a comfortable meal out. If I had to point out one area for improvement, it would be the portion size. While the quality of the food was excellent, the quantity did not quite match the price point. For the cost, I was hoping for something a little more substantial. That said, the flavours and overall experience still made it worthwhile. All in all, it was a lovely visit with great food, exceptional service, and a setting that strikes just the right tone. I will definitely be returning, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a comforting meal with a touch of Bristol charm.

Jessica our waitress was very welcoming and attentive. First time at this Pieminister, been to Leeds and Sheffield ones, this one is just as good as the others, it was nice to see they had conditioning as it was 27°C. Pies were amazing as they always are. Highly recommended if your a pie lover

Vimos este lugar y uno de nosotros quería un pastel para llevar. Mientras tanto, decidimos que probaríamos un cóctel o tres. El servicio fue agradable y los cócteles cayeron bien. La única decepción fue el pastel que era solo promedio, especialmente porque no era barato.

Went there as a gift from me and my brother for our dads birthday,The food was lovely and we all had a great time! I really enjoyed their steak pie and their chips!! The service is very good, the waitress Jessica was very sweet and smiley, also very kind! Would definitely come again.

Gran servicio y pasteles sabrosos. Tenía los hongos y pollo nave nodriza que era una combinación encantadora de pastel y lados. Gracias Jessica por ser un servidor amable y atento.

La comida era increíble, gracias a Jessica por su gran servicio, primera vez en Pieminister, gran experiencia vendrá de nuevo.

Our server was Jessica. Great service, fire vegan options, generous drink portions

We always visit Pieminster when we are in Bristol. Cosy, great selection of pies which includes a few vegetarian options, and one of the best ketchups we've tried. However, the most important thing is the exceptional customer service. Jessica met us with a smile, she was extremely kind and helpful and made us feel special. I can't thank her enough!

Really good place, pies yummys, and lot of food, very recommend restaurant. Staff friendly. You have gluten free options

We were very impressed by Dylan who was polite, friendly, efficient and smiley throughout a very busy evening. He was singlehandedly serving all tables. He greeted us promptly and our table was reserved and ready. Several tables had arrived within minutes of each other and he ensured that drinks and food orders were taken in turn and with minimal waiting time. We also noticed that Dylan and his colleague in the kitchen, who also appeared to be working alone, were communicating constantly to ensure that the understandable and acceptable waiting times were fed back to us and the other diners. I am Coeliac and was delighted to see the choice available to me on the gluten free menu. Dylan demonstrateded a good understanding of my needs and the difference between an intolerance and Coeliac disease. When he brought our meals to the table he reiterated that mine was gluten free and there was also a little flag to reassure me that the both he and the chef had remembered. The food was delicious. I had the Gluten Free Ranger with mash and minty mushy peas. I have missed good pastry and this was really good pastry! My husband had the Moo Blue with chips and spicy beans and loved it. Despite being so busy, Dylan found time to clear tables promptly and made sure to look up and thank people as they left. We had a great evening. Thank you.

Great food and friendly staff. Special mention for Jessica, super nice and very helpful!

Jessica was very nice and made our experience very enjoyable. The food was also awesome

We enjoyed our pies so much- filling but not heavy. Delicious mash and gravy, too. We thought we'd get a cookbook for my son's birthday, as he raves about Pieminister. Our lovely server, Faye, gifted us with one which was really sweet. Excellent service and food!

Jessica was a gem, wonderful food every time.

Jess was so nice and helpful!! Really cool makeup too. Definitely coming back!

Our food was great, thank you. Great service from Dylan! :)

Dylan looked after us really well, coeliac needs handled with clarity and confidence, and friendly welcome. Recommended.

I had the Moo & Blue pie and it was absolutely divine. The pastry was perfectly baked golden, crisp, and full of flavour. The filling was rich and tender, with incredibly tasty beef in a delicious gravy that brought everything together beautifully. Every bite felt like comfort food at its finest! Also, a huge thank you to Jessica, who looked after us with such warmth and kindness. She was incredibly polite, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit. Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, and exceptional service I couldn’t recommend it more. I’ll definitely be back!

Best bottomless brunch in town! It’s the only place where you leave feeling like you actually got a nice amount of delicious food to eat with your bottomless booze. The service is stellar, some of the kindest servers in town. There’s a good selection of drinks like espresso martinis and Aperol spritzes along with mimosas and Prosecco. Two hours for £30?! Best value in town!!!

Been here many times in the past, always amazing food and a good vibe! Really friendly staff and lovely environment!

Jess was amazing. Thank you for the great service

amazing food, service was great and the restaurant was exceptionally clean!! thank you so much to the team and especially cam for his artistic, meaty pies

Generational meal. Thank you Jessica, for being such a kind host.

Excellent service, great food, and really nice atmosphere. Would strongly recommend for a quick and easy meal.

Wow, 2nd time having the pleasure of visiting. This time blew my socks off! Jessica and Sylvester made us feel so at home, kudos to the team for showing real hospitality here. Food was great, service was great, drinks were great - if I had to sum it up in one word - great! Will be returning!

Walked a mile to be told the kitchen closes 30 mins before the restaurant (we got there at 8:34) Terrible experience. Terrible service. Two Updates: 1. All the apps were still able to place orders (UberEats, etc), after the kitchen was "Closed" 2. Owner reply is amazing! If the service had been 1/10th of this, it would have never happened. Looking forward to trying again in the future and updating the review.

Defo great currencies gor Money Impeccable service

Table of 2 and we both had their gluten free options. Food is incredible and service is great! We had Jess as our server and we appreciated how reassuring she was with our dietary requirements, along with the speedy service and regular check ups to ensure we were satisfied. We both recommend this place to those with gluten intolerance.

I have been here a few times when visiting Bristol and never been disappointed. The Moo and Blue pie was brilliant yesterday and the waitress convinced me, against my better judgement, to get the crispy onions with my gravy side. She knows her stuff! Thank you for a great meal

The waitress was very friendly and explained the menu options in detail.

Took at least 20 minutes after ordering drinks to receive them on a quiet Monday evening. Tap water didn't turn up until after as well. Glasses are all cloudy probably no salt in glass washer. Staff didn't tell us what was not on the menu untill we tried ordering. Food was good.

The food is always superb and so delicious, arrived in such good time too. Our server Jess was simply wonderful. So attentive and wonderfully kind, with absolutely superb service and such a warm welcome. Highly reccomend! 🥧❤️✨

Visited on a Sunday, the food was great and good portion sizes. However service was on the slow side, despite the restaurant not being full, which slightly let down the experience. Still highly recommend

Table of 6 in a booth. Friendly and helpful staff. Quick service even with how busy a Saturday night it was. Got starters and all were delicious. Shared them. Pies were really tasty and enough dessert choice not too many.

Very nice pies. Staff were very attentive and friendly

Popped in for a preshow pie! Thought it was great; had the blue Moo with chips and sides; wife had the the beef bourgione style with cheesy mash and a side. Pie was stunning; love the pastry, plenty of beef and a real stilton flavour. Advertised Pie-PA was no longer available so just went with a Camden Hell Bells For £45 for 2 pies sides and drinks you can't really complain...but how about a bigger pie option???

Although there is a cafe in Broad Quay, there is also one in St. Nicholas Market. With a range of excellent pies with mashed potato, I added peas and gravey with mine for £9.50. Basic stool seating, but comfortable and great value for money.

Staff member sat on kitchen bar . Not a good look. Not impressed.

came across the restaurant on monday and the girl with glasses was lovely. she was attentive and made sure us and other customers were well looked after and happy

I visited pieminster today, my son has been several times and suggested we go. My experience was mixed. Drinks were delivered to the table before we could place our food order. Starters arrived promptly and that’s where it all started to go downhill, It seemed to take forever to receive the mains. In the end I had to ask and a few minutes later they were delivered to the table. Tin plates were cold, not sure the purpose of the serving board as the plates just keep sliding about on the board. We were a group of 4 and when the food arrived it looked good however the look and taste were very different! What could have been a lovely meal was not; the mash was runny and lukewarm, peas cold and rock hard and only one of the four pies were hot. My own pie ‘the moo’ was lukewarm to the outside and cold in the middle and the gravy wasn’t any better, runny and lukewarm! We all tried to eat the food but all gave up. I spoke to the waiter who was apologetic, he offered to replace the food but due to us attending a show at the Bristol Beacon this wasn’t an option as we had less than 20 minutes to get to the show. If the food had arrived earlier this would have been an option. He didn’t charge us for the food which was appreciated as it really wasn't edible. Suggestion for the future most waiting staff return to the table after customers start eating to make sure everything is ok. This didn’t happen if it had I wouldn’t have had to go to the bar twice to bring to someone’s attention. Would I return? Unsure, the atmosphere was good but the food put me off!

The service and ambience were good. However, my pie had barely any meat in it (maybe 4 small chunks of chicken) and mainly consisted pastry and gravy. I can't say I'll come back.

Food is average, thought it would be better and bigger portions. The service was diabolical. They took our order and forgot about it for the next half hour until they remembered again. They made it up to us though by taking off the service charge which is optional anyway? Spoilt the evening really.

Food was great, but thought we were getting pie an licker, lick they do in London.... But it was very nice. The lady that served us was a big star, hats of to you..

A wonderful atmosphere with super yummy food. Staff friendly and fun. This is the best place to go for a bite to eat before taking in a show at the Hippodrome.

Never been to a Pieminister before so was excited for this! 🌟 Went for the Moolin Rouge pie with Cheesy mash & Smokey baked beans. 🥧 Didn’t think much of the sides, and thought the pie was decent but nothing special. Partner went for the Harissa Chicken pie and said it was great! Staff member was super friendly and accommodating!

The service was really nice! Sorry I can't remember your name!

Great alternative for Sunday roast!

Rachele was lovely and so was the food :) excellent for veggie/vegans

Waitress Rachel was amazing as was the food - 5*! 😁

Food was tasty, and there was plenty to select from on the menu. Would recommend popping in and checking it out. We were able to take our dog in as the place is pet friendly.

Nice pie, yummy. Quite ££ but did have loadz of fun

We had the vegan pie and mash, which tasted delicious. The lady serving us was very sweet and funny and even the other people visiting were all chatty and lovely. Good atmosphere and dog friendly! The only disappointment we had was that even though it is veganuary, there was only one vegan option available, they missed the trick there.

Kaya was so helpful and recommended the right things for us. Just visiting from Newcastle and when we‘re back in town, totally coming here for dinner. Class!

Amazing food! Great atmosphere. Lovely staff. What a great evening. We went for a work dinner, Logan was brilliant, an asset to the place. Thank you!

Login was extremely friendly and took care of us all evening. He joined in with the jokes and was happy to accommodate strange requests. 5 star

Had the best time at pieminister with Logan. Great food and great company. Would 100% come again based on the service alone.

Great pies, good choice of sides and the homemade soft drinks are delicious

Logan was a god amongst men!! He immediately made us feel extremely welcome and went above and beyond! An absolute treasure to the company and an asset to behold!!

When I go back, I only want to be served by Logan. Vibes were 10/10. We were a big party and he matched the energy. GOAT server.

Went to Pieminister for Bottomless Brunch today and was thoroughly impressed with the customer service. There was a staff member with longish hair and tattoos (had Pie staff on his back, although I suspect they all did) but he was really chatty and friendly (said he used to work in Miller & Carter). The food was taking a while to come out because they were so rammed with customers, and he was clearly very aware and conscious of this. He came over multiple times to ask how the drinks were, made recommendations, jokes, even made sure we had more alcohol in the drinks to make up for the wait time with the food and kept us very happy and looked after throughout. He was working with a lady with glasses who was collecting dirty plates etc and she was very polite and diligent. Both deserve recognition and the same goes for the guy behind the bar mixing the drinks - he was rapid! I usually begrudge a 10% service charge but this was definitely well worth it. Props to all the team today. Hope the management see this and treat them to something nice for Christmas!

Fabulous pies and great service. It is easy to forget just how fabulous pieminister pies are. Will definitely be going back.

Had a great Christmas lunch there with my work team - great food and friendly staff. They forgot a couple of pudding and when we reminded them they served them immediately and took them off the bill. They also removed the service charge, but we added it back because they were so fab.

Great food, as always. And great music playing in the restaurant. My waitress Kaya and the kitchen staff were incredible and really helped turn around a terrible day I'd had.

I had a great time last night here with colleagues for the Pie and all you can drink deal. The food was great as always and the service was spot on, attentive but not overbearing. The venue has a great atmosphere too.... What's not to like 👍

I only give 4 stars for atmosphere as it was almost empty. The service was excellent. So was the food although I don't believe that the Camden pale ale (good though it is) complements the food

Excellent meal with very good service.

Was a great experience going and our waitress with the blond highlights really made our day. Will be back!!

What a wonderful place ! It was deliciouuuuus and Kaya was the best ❤️

I've had some pies in my time and I do like a good pie. Pieminster's pies are without doubt the best I've had. The service was fantastic waiting time fine but worth it and the 2 coeliacs in our party of 12 had a great choice with no gluten reactions so top notch grub with top notch staff and top notch allergen safety. Will see you next time we're in Bristol. Cheers Guys

Kaya was brilliant, they made us feel relaxed and took care of us ! Exceptional

Logan and Silver were particularly attentive and made it a great meal. Special shout out to Faye in the kitchen as well!

Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely price Sunday best meal is incredible!! I will be back 100%

Gran pieza, el personal era muy amable con un servicio rápido. El restaurante tiene un gran ambiente, recomendaría a otros : )

Gran ambiente comida deliciosa. Todo el mundo es muy amable y muy reconocible. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera que quiera un almuerzo rápido

Por una oferta de £ 14 en un pastel de pollo y los lados no se puede ir mal. Fue atendido por un guapo caballero con tatuajes en el cuello que no podría haber sido más encantador. ¡Volveremos muy pronto!

The pies served with mashed potato and peas are delicious.

Nada especial, servicio muy lento y el lugar estaba vacío. Odiaría estar aquí si estuviera ocupado, ¡nunca obtendrías tu comida! La comida estaba bien bastante general.

quick pie fix, really great service and always yummy on a cold day!!! A bristol favourite !

Llegamos temprano y nos dijeron que iban a abrir en 4 minutos. Esperamos afuera. Eran alrededor de las 12. 08 pm cuando nos rendimos y nos fuimos. Había 3 empleados dentro charlando y riendo. Tuvimos la clara impresión de que lo estaban haciendo deliberadamente para hacernos esperar. Mientras nos miraban y sonreían. Esperábamos la llegada de nuestros amigos y perdieron una partida de 8 , debido a su comportamiento desagradable.

Visited The Broad Quay, Bristol restaurant today. The staff are pleasant and clearly are working hard but there are simply not enough of them! We waited for 45 minutes for our food - given that this consisted of a pie that just needed heating up, some mash, and a sprinkling of veg (mostly peas) there can be no excuse for this. After waiting 40 minutes we did ask what was happening to our order. "Why are you in a hurry?" was the response we got. The pies are OK but not worth a wait that long. There are plenty of other option in central Bristol. We will not return.

Great, tasty food at an extremely good price! Unfortunately I didn’t see a server to refill my gravy or drink and it was quiet but still, very worth it!

The pies have it! Other than a weird fennel seed dressing on the tenderstem veg dish the food was good and although slow (she was largely on her own) the young woman was very pleasant. My only but significant concern was the loos - one out of action and the remaining one is disgusting - sort it out Pieminister!

Although a very busy evening and many tables huffing and puffing. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner tonight, the staff were very friendly and helpful could not fault them at all, they did an amazing job! Our pies were also delicious and piping hot, will definitely be coming back!

A slightly tricky one. The pies were lovely, proper crispy pastry, well balanced fillings and decent sides. The problem was it took over an hour to arrive. I did have a chat with one of the staff (possibly the manager) and he said that a key piece of equipment was not working properly, which can happen to anyone. I just wish they had let us know that there was a problem. Sometimes honesty is the best way.

Great place to eat. WE LOVE PIES. Very well looked after and the bill was reasonable.

Nice pie, nice sides. The atmosphere was good. But we felt really sorry for the serving staff who seemed overworked. Our meal took a long time to come out because the ticket machine broke apparently. They were all very sweet, our waitress was lovely. But it took a very long time.

Food excellent, service on the whole not great

We arrived 20 minutes before the reservation time, with half the tables occupied and it took them 20 minutes to bring two beers, but then another 30 minutes to serve the food ordered as soon as we sat down, apparently they were not receiving orders due to an error on the part of the system. The reality is that of the 4 visible waiters, two were missing, another was more concerned about her makeup than serving the tables and another who entered and left the kitchen without any criteria. It took us 15 minutes to eat and run, tired of waiting. The rest of the tables were stunned with the lack of professionalism of the service. It was our first time, there will be no second because after being aware of the disaster of attention, they only knew how to say "I'm sorry", but at some tables they had special attention. The bathroom with large puddles of water does not seem hygienic or clean at all. At the Caribbean food place next door the waiters are really attentive and professional, not at this one. A shame because the food is relegated to the background (although we don't understand how the microwave can be used so intensively without any embarrassment, it's quite disappointing)

Food was nice enough, if not a little pricey. I ordered the mothership with additional 'mustard sausage stick' for £16. I was left pretty hungry. Pie did not have a huge amount of filling. The food was tasty and service was v good - quick and attentive without being overbearing. Just could do with bigger portions as pie and mash is supposed to leave you feeling full and satiated. In order to fill that gap I had a mud pie sundae which only had a small piece of brownie at the bottom of the sundae glass. Was mostly ice cream and whipped cream.

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. EDIT: Still haven't heard from the branch despite reaching out following the response to the review to get in touch to discuss further. More disappointing service.

Short staffed so very long wait (we were warned about this on arrival). Seem to have paid a lot of money for pie to be heated up rather than made on the premises. I could have bought the same pie from a supermarket. They had also run out on ingredients...no cheese left (it was 8pm so not late)! The IPA was nice. Would not visit again, a very disappointing experience for my favourite pie.

Service poor. But manager at fault here for no supervision/ standards in hiring.

Had a lovely Kevin Pie, cheesy mash n Gravy...what a treat lovely prompt food and drinks Via Lauren who was a star 🌟 Scrumptious tasting food 😋 😍

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
