Pieminister - in Herefordshire, County of

Food: The food was quite a letdown. The pies were reassuringly crispy with good pastry, but the filling of the Heidi and Shroom were quite bland and didn’t taste great. The Freeranger was apparently nice. The chips were a bit soggy and cold despite a short drive home, were not seasoned and the oil could have been fresher. The gravy did not taste nice to any of us at all. The mushy peas were decent enough. Portion sizes were large and good value for money (a pie and 2 sides for £10), but not particularly good. All in all, it was a bit of a letdown and I would not order again. Service: The service was not particularly good. Upon arriving I was told it would be an 11 minute wait. It ended up being closer to 20. For the most part there was no-one at the bar, and the guy who was didn’t communicate particularly well, but did warn which bag the gravy was in, so that I did not spill it. More attentive and friendly service would make a big improvement. Atmosphere: The vibe of The Queens arms was quite claustrophobic, largely due to the regulars who were already quite drunk by 7:30pm and very loud. Despite it being largely empty, the tables were quite sticky and could have been cleaned better. They seem to offer a good selection of alcoholic drinks and the pub itself is a beautiful, traditional pub made cosy with fairy lights. However the atmosphere upon entering was quite unwelcoming, particularly in comparison to other Herefordshire pubs.

The pies are great. What really made it for us was the very friendly & helpful lady who took care of us. She was brilliant! Pie minister are lucky to have her. Andrea & Paul visiting from Norwich
