Pieminister in Birmingham

We enjoyed our visit, the restaurant has a separate GF menu and the gf (and veggie) pie was very tasty. It was served with gluten free and vegan gravy which was appreciated. The staff were friendly. The restaurant is dog friendly and they brought our dog some snacks when we arrived :)

Mi marido y yo nunca hemos ido a un restaurante Pieminister antes, pero después de nuestra comida definitivamente somos grandes fans. Tuve el pastel vegetariano Christingle que estaba delicioso. El cóctel de jengibre de manzana fue la mejor bebida sin alcohol que he tomado en un restaurante. El amable servicio de Ru (Roo?) también hizo la noche. A pesar de que ella estaba tomando llamadas, sirviendo mesas y dando la bienvenida a los invitados, ella todavía se las arregló para servirnos con una sonrisa.

Nos gusta Pieminister - hemos comido aquí muchas veces y siempre tuvimos buena comida con igual buen servicio. Hasta ayer. Digamos al principio que la comida (cuando finalmente la obtuvimos) estaba tan buena como siempre. Lo que decepcionó el lugar fue el servicio, o mejor dicho, la falta de él. Llegamos a las 4. 40 y fueron recibidos a la puerta, llevados a una mesa en el lugar vacío de dos tercios y se les dieron menús. Entonces... nada. Durante los siguientes 18 minutos nadie preguntó qué bebidas queríamos o vinieron a tomar nuestro pedido. Acabábamos de decidir "si nadie toma nuestro pedido en los próximos 2 minutos nos vamos" cuando el camarero que nos había encontrado en la puerta finalmente re-apareció y tomó bebidas y pedidos de comida. Más espera... después de 10 minutos, finalmente aparecieron nuestras bebidas y unos minutos después llegó la comida. Pudimos ver que el tipo que nos había estado sirviendo estaba ahora fuera de servicio sentado hablando con sus amigos y que dos señoritas estaban ahora "delante de casa". La diferencia era evidente inmediatamente. Fueron serviciales, amables y eficientes y convirtieron esta opinión de 1 estrella a 3 estrellas por sus acciones. Lección aprendida: No te molestes en ir a Pieminister entre las 4. 30 y 5 . 00 ! Mucho mejor esperar hasta que el equipo de la tarde se haga cargo.

Increíble personal que sirvió tranquilamente a una larga cola de nosotros, bailarines y músicos Morris sin pestañear ante los extraños trajes. Mi pastel de setas silvestres era delicioso y excelente relación calidad-precio. ¡Gracias!

Tengo que decir que no me impresionó en absoluto con la comida aquí. Las 3 estrellas son para las bebidas, camarera y guisantes. Fuimos un viernes a la hora del almuerzo y el lugar estaba casi vacío. Pedimos salchichas y puré para niños, y 2 naves nodriza. 1 . El. El puré del niño no era comestible, sabía a puré congelado que había sido horneado en un horno por lo que tenía una corteza. De las 4 mini salchichas 2 estaban así de duras ni yo podía cortarlas, supongo que se cocinaron antes y luego se recalentaron en el microondas. 2 . El puré con las comidas de los adultos era el mismo, la salsa estaba fría y el pastel tenía pastel crudo en la base. 3 . Los inodoros no tenían rollo de inodoro 4 . Todo el lugar olía a aceite de cocina viejo. El único artículo que era agradable eran los guisantes acuñados. La camarera era amable. Fue el mayor desperdicio de 60 libras en mi vida.

Shout out for Keren who fitted our party of 7 (plus guide dog!) in for lunch with zero notice, after another venue, which we'd booked, had problems and so couldn't serve food. Great, attentive and friendly service- everyone thoroughly enjoyed their pie meals and Keren was on hand to see that everything went smoothly. Couldn't be better, and very much appreciated by us all. Thank you!

Fancied a pie so went in for lunch. I had pie and mash with a pint of pie.p.a . The food was really good, the service very efficient, and I left happy :)

As an international student i have never eaten a traditional English pie before which is why i went to Pieminister. I ordered the Moolin Rouge pie with pig stick on top. It took around three minutes for our pies to be served which made me question if it was just a microwaved pie. They both tasted good however, i couldn’t find the depth of flavor i was looking for. The presentation on the other hand was perfect. Just look how they stacked em all. The staff were very kind as well. Definitely give it a go if you are a tourist and want to taste English pies.

Beef pie "Moo" was excellent, with a flaky crust, plenty of meat, a few carrot pieces, and plenty of gravy. Their house beer "Pieminster Pie" on tap was fine and very cold. Good experience. Wish we had such a place in Los Angeles.

Absolutely amazing, young girl Chloe ( I think) wad chatty friendly, food was 10/10 , came over to make sure everything was ok & if we needs fri is & water , will definitely be back very soon x

Very helpful and friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Great gluten free options and good pies! Lots of options. Worth a visit.

Me and my sister visited before heading to a concert (after we’d visited in Liverpool previously). We both had the Sunday best (I think it was called) deal and it was soo good! The free ranger is definitely my go to pie! Our servers were lovely and so helpful :)

The pies weren’t anything special. Tasty enough, but there’s no mistaking they’re the mass produced pies you’d expect them to be. Whilst the pies are reasonable value: the sides are not. £3.50 for a small portion of mashed potato, another pound of you want some cheese sprinkled on top. I think increasing the cost of the pies and reducing the cost of the sides would be better - or increasing the portion size for the sides. Service was fine. The fairly efficient norm for these type of chain restaurants.

Great food and great service ALL the time. Was served by Chloe, she was very attentive and made some great recommendations. Will definitely be returning soon.

Kate and Sydney was the tastiest I’ve had in a long time. My friends had chicken pies, also tasty. The portions were just right for us. The food arrived piping hot and the extra gravy was delivered straight away. Service was excellent, the two girls were polite, friendly and efficient. We didn’t feel rushed at all. The restaurant was clean and tidy as was the disabled toilet. Really good experience for a first visit and will return when next in the city.

Having heard nothing but good recommendations for this place, we booked a table for a small group. We were all pleased with our visit. The food was good, the service was excellent by all rights, this place should score full marks on this site, however in view of the fact that the management and owners of businesses study these reviews. I take this moment to draw attention to the dire level of cleanliness of this restaurant... it was indeed dire! We arrived shortly after opening, so what I saw was not the result of the end of the day mess, places like this see. The floors in the restaurant had not been swept from the day before, the toilets were messed up with the roll holders empty. The passage ways and stairs to the toilets were grimy, dirty, and neglected and were reminiscent of an abandoned building. Pie minister have a unique restaurant product, it would be a shame if it failed by not realising that the cleanliness of a restaurant is vitally important to the mindset of the customers perception of the level of the hygiene in the preparation of the food. Would I go again, probably not. The serving staff, by the way, were very good, but they need to be led by a competant new manager.

Amazing pies, lovely atmosphere and great service. I had a Moolin Rouge, pie, which is steak with red served with mash potatoes. One of our party is gluten free, also a good choice of pies for them as well. Soft drinks or beer and wine were available to order. We really enjoyed our lunch and will be coming back soon.

well where do we start! the fact that we could have spent our hard earned cash in any number of food outlet's and we choose the to eat pie was a big big mistake and we were seriously let down!! first point the menu offered two chicken pie"s one with mushroom"s and one without and guess what the one without mushroom"s was not avalible and this is a friday night just going into the busy weeked( not good enough in this day and age) so we opted for two beef pie"s instead!! the choice of beer was a joke £5-50 for a half bottle of a 4% lager( shandy bass has a higher abv) so i declined the weak beer and opted for something with about the same purpose(tap water) when our pie's came out the server asked us if we wanted any condiments to which my wife answered yes vinegar please! and guess what no vinegar!!!!!! now is it me or do we normally have salt and vinegar of chip"s or am i missing something here?? unfortunatley that for me was the last straw and i went up to complain and say that i was"nt going to atempt eating my meal!! one of the server"s did offer me balsmic vinegar to go on my. chip"s but i did"nt take her up on her offer! perhap"s she was from a different planet than me?? all in all a complete disaster and for that reason i will never return!!

We visited yesterday afternoon and had a great meal. The food was good, good potions. I think it’s reasonably priced and the staff were friendly and attentive, good service. Would visit again.

Thank you - you saved our evening!!!! After terrible customer care at The Colmore Tap (don't go there, Birmingham visitors), we phoned at virtually no notice for a table of 4. Despite being about 9.20pm, you welcomed us with open arms, and were gracious when we were not quite finished by the 10pm curfew. And the food was delicious, and the service friendly and efficient. Bravo!

Absolutely amazing! Can’t fault it! The best pie I’ve ever had with a great atmosphere and very reasonable prices. Staff are lovely and I can’t wait to go back.

We visited as a group of 6 for a birthday and it was a great. Good value overall and service/food both great. Will definitely be returning.

Popped in with some colleagues and all had a different pie and all really enjoyed. Service was good and place was very relaxed feel and also had a limited but great selection of drinks. I had the steak and blue cheese pie with the minty peas, mash and gravy and really enjoyed. Reasonably priced and I will certainly return

It was pretty good, service was a bit over enthusiastic, chap was too familiar. Pies were good although portions weren’t huge. Tasty though. Good place for a non fussy bite.

Firstly the positive, the food was very nice. We both went for the 'Sunday best', one with the chicken and mushroom and the other with beef, red wine and pancetta, both were very tasty, with a good amount of sides and gravy. Unfortunately the service was very disappointing. My wife asked for a diet coke with no ice, it came with ice (not a problem). Upon letting the waitress know, we requested it without ice but to keep the lime. It came back without ice and without lime. Not to worry we thought. My 'Pie PA' had arrived and was decent enough. However, my wife's diet coke didn't seem right. So we checked the can and it was over a year passed its best before date, which is unacceptable. This was swiftly taken away and replaced with something else, at which point I asked for another beer, this never arrived, even after chasing it up with another server. Whilst I appreciate that all the drinks were taken off the bill, there was a distinct lack of acknowledgement from the staff and very little in terms of meaningful apologies. We were going to have dessert but decided it wasn't worth the risk of further errors. Based on the level of service, we are unlikely to visit again.

Food was fine when it arrived however the service was shocking. Slow to take our order and sent a meat pie for someone who ordered a vegan one. The waiter and waitress where too busy kissing behind the bar than waiting on the tables. It’s...

Got four drinks in two hours…considering it was meant to be bottomless drinks…appalling. Didn’t have a lot of the drinks or the pies on the bottomless menu and then refused to give us an alternative. Atmosphere dead. No turtle bay.

Went with work colleagues for Christmas get together, service was very slow and the pie was awful. Trying to pay for he meal was painful as you were expected to work out your own bill. Would not go again, pie very tough with little meat.

I booked a Christmas meal for my work team originally for 15 people. On the night 6 did not turn up due to illness, I informed the waitress of this and she rearranged some tables and all was well. We had a very nice meal,...

We stopped for a quick meal. The food was very delicious and Joanna looked after us beautifully! We’ll be returning soon!

Delicious pie and creamy mashed potato with rich gravy - what more could you want. It is exactly what you expect in a pie and mash shop! Good staff but no atmosphere

popped in with some colleagues after work and both the service and food were amazing. the staff were on it, great fun and quick. what's not to like. Great price also

Had the express lunch on 7th Octobfr with a friend - £7.50 for a pie + 1 side and a soft drink. We specifically told the server we were having the express lunch and she responded "ok". We ordered our pies and a milkshake each...

I was expecting a huge pie, but got Birds Eye size instead. Over £6 for a size of pie you'd get in the supermarket in packs of 4. Plus, Steak and Kidney was filled out with veg. Very little steak and no kidney. Then nearly...

Such a great find! Me and my partner came in having never tried here before despite always wanting to and we weren’t disappointed! The girl that was working seemed to be working alone but was very prompt, and so friendly. The pies are amazing and...

We were in a group of two adults and 2 children. The variation of different pies are incredible and one of the best places to eat in Brum. Varied children's menu that was great value. The staff are warm and friendly like their pies!

The vegan tofu chicken pie was amazing! Had two sides this was mash and smoked beans which were recommended by the waiter. Was the best pie I've ever had and will be returning for Sunday lunch definitely.

For starters all four of us picked something different; pigs in blankets, halloumi fries, kale & parsnip fritters. All three, plus the forth that I can’t remember, all tasted great & I wouldn’t change a thing. For main courses; I went for the Saag Pie-Neer...

Surprisingly very good. When we walked in, I didn’t expect much to be honest but was pleasantly surprised. Waitresses were very friendly and attentive. Drinks were a bit limited but very good. However the food was really really good! Large vegan (and non) section compared...

We went for valentines day and the vibe/ decoration inside was so nice! the waitress was so so lovely and the cocktails were incredible! The food for the price was amazing and theres such a variety of combinations you can get. Unfortunately you dont get...

Service was great, our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Great selection of pies and starters were lovely too. Really enjoyed our visit and all food came out quickly and piping hot - will definitely be back, such good value for money.

Excellent service during a busy period on a Saturday evening without a reservation. Staff created the space for a family of 5 to all sit down together. Fabulous food and overall a really good experience

Brilliant atmosphere and food, fantastic waitress however the gravy servings are tiny. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a cheaper date night.

Myself and my husband had booked to eat at The Pieminister knowing they catered for people who are gluten free, I booked a week earlier and specifically said I was gluten free in the notes. We planned our day out in Birmingham ending with eating...

The food here was great and of the usual high standard, I would definitely recommend it based on that! However, the service was pretty poor, there was only one server which was not enough! We waited to be seated, then we waited for menus, then...

I don't think we've ever had a bad experience at a Pieminister, and Birmingham was no exception! If we ever visit or holiday somewhere with a Pieminister we will always go, it's a must! I'm a very fussy vegetarian, but i've tried 3 of the...

Hi me & my partner thought we try pieminister out for 1st time on our anniversary We looked at the menu but not too much options on there could do with a little bit more in the start section I had veg pie which was...

Brilliant food and nice beer. I’m surprised this place wasn’t busier. I had a catch up with a pal, started next door in a bar and went into pieminister. Nice, clean and the steak and ale pie was delicious, on a bed of mash and...

Good location, amazing staff and AMAZING food!! I was so spoilt for choice, that I asked the member of staff (Jasmine) for her recommendation. Jasmine was very smiley, polite and very knowledgeable of the menu. I ordered the 'Mooless Moo Pie' and it was absolutely...

Dropped in here in early December 2021. It was very busy but they fit us in. It's all about pies, stodgy, delicious, lovely. And it the food was excellent. I had venison pie, my wife had steak and both were lovely with mash and other...

First time we have visited a Pieminster and not the last. Lovely warm welcome and friendly staff. The food was just the best so so tasty. Great option's available highly recommend.

I'm a bit too old to use the word 'banging', but our pies were banging. I had the steak and kidney, my wife had the chicken and mushroom. Both lovely! Unfortunately they'd run out of the beer i liked, but I coped!

What a great quirky place, friendly staff and the food was banging! A definite recommend from me! Plenty of choice for vegetarians too…!

We had a wonderful experience this evening, such brilliant service by Jasmine. If you don’t eat here you’re doing yourself a disservice

Oh my god. Where to begin. Not only is the service exceptional, truely. The food is out of this world! It is definitely the best pie I’ve ever had and I couldn’t believe how low the cost was! I’ve spent 10 times the amount for...

This lovely little pie restaurant was right up our street. We were so glad we came across it, quite by chance, for a pre-theatre dinner. The staff and service was great and the pies were delicious. What more can I say! If you like pies,...

Having working long hours recently in the city centre and needing some classic wholesome food, I'd been craving pie and this truly hit the spot. Its more than I'd usually spend on just myself for lunch, but I was happy to pay that price because...

I love a pie occasionally but when I saw that they sold mine patties I fancied that with some chips. Unfortunately both were unavailable so I went for the 'Heidi' pie which I thoroughly enjoyed & generous portion of pie & trimming served. However one...

Lovely high quality pies, decent beer, and super friendly service. Enjoyed a night there, good comfort food at a fair price.

waste of time! travelled over 30 miles to come and then almost nothing we wanted was available!! blamed brexit!!! waitress was nice. overpriced pie.

Pie was tasty the mash and peas were practically invisible and luckily I orded extra gravy because It came with none ....not worth £12 don't bother save your money .....rating -10

I'm always on the lookout for a good brunch. The bottomless brunch lasts for 90 mins and includes a dish from the brunch menu as well as bottomless prosecco, mimosas, Aperol Spritz and their own draft IPA - all for £20. I had the 'Morning...

Visited here for the first time last week on rcommendation from a member of staff in a pub local to here. We tried to call and make a reservation but the phone kept cutting off after three rings.. I then tried on the website and...

Booked for lunch. Service was quick. Pies were nice but not exceptional. Lack of atmosphere in restaurant. Wouldn’t rush to return or recommend.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Wonderful waitress and friendly. Will visit here again. Spoons didn’t work

Great selection of pies, big portions and reasonably priced. Felt very safe with screens dividing tables. Only seemed to have limited staff in but the waitress who served us worked her socks off and did a brilliant job.

Good choice of pies, simple Selection of sides, and reasonably priced. The food was tasty and some good ales on offer,, I had the moo and blue pie with fries and mushy peas. With a pint of IPA, It was very good and the bill...

Great place to go for a pie and a beer. Food was really tasty and staff were very friendly. The restaurant had also installed great social distancing measures, which even on a busy Friday night were working well.

Pieminister is a regular trip for us, the staff are lovely, service is great and the food is always good. There is a limited menu currently but still good quality. The actual interior is lovely, and good social distancing for tables. We take our friends...

Right first up it’s pie it’s mash it’s peas it’s gravy. Never going to be stunning but it is what it is! Mine was hot and tasty. COVID precautions spot on. Lovely service under difficult circumstances. As I say a good effort.

So having our booking cancelled in March, we were so looking forward to our post Covid meal out! How disappointed you left us, what no cocktails & pretty mediocre food, I could have actually microwaved better myself ! To you selling us out of date...

Nice place to eat a pie, authentic British cuisine and good choice of tasty pie. Excellent service totally worth it!

Always like the food in here, the service just let it down. Seemed hasty enough to get you seated but lagged when you wanted to leave!

Great pies and lovely staff, Maisie served us and was friendly and fantastic with our children, would definitely recommend!

Maisie couldn’t do enough to help us. Really friendly and great with the kids. Great pie knowledge and I’m really glad I took her advise and tried the Vegan one. Delicious! Will be returning.

Loved it! Food was very delicious and staff were polite and friendly. Nice location as it is near the tourist attractions.

A party of six dined at Pieminister, Birmingham for the first time last Friday. It will not be the last. We were greeted by very friendly staff and shown to our table. We did not really know what to expect, apart from pies, but had...

Loads of options for meat eaters and vegans. Very reasonably priced and great service. £10 per head on a Sunday with Yorkshire pudding and veg. So tasty! Will definitely be back.

Great first visit. Excellent value for money - 4 pints and 2 pies (with mash and mushy peas) for £32. Had a £5 voucher code as well. The service needs a particular mention. The waitress who served us was brilliant!
