Pieminister in Leeds

This is by far one of my favourite restaurants. Every time I'm in Leeds I go! I'm vegan and their vegan options are amazing! Pie, mash, peas and gravy, out of this word!!! Highly, highly recommend as not only is the food deliscious but the staff are lovely.

What a lovely place and friendly helpful staff - will have to come back to try the game pie as recommended by the Manager and neighbouring customer - great place, great food well recommended and great tea too

Our starters took over half an hour to arrive, even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy. Our mains then arrived but no-one cleared away our starter plates and we weren’t asked if we wanted any more drinks until our mains had been cleared away. The fact we didn’t want to leave the total “discretionary tip” was queried. It’s clearly marked as discretionary. The food was okay and the staff were pleasant enough but the experience didn’t warrant a tip of that amount. I would also like to add that there was a blue fuggy haze in the whole restaurant and our clothes and hair absolutely stink of burnt food. Someone needs to clean the ovens or improve the extraction. 8 hours later and it’s still all I can smell.

We had two "Mothership pie meals" with a Moolin Rouge, a Moo and Blue pie and some fries to share. The food was okay but nothing to be blown away by. The service from the manager was a bit direct but the service from one of the waitresses (who checked regarding allergens) was really friendly and accommodating. The staff were great when it came to checking allergens. After receiving the bill I had a very brief opportunity to review it before being asked to pay. As I did this I noticed there was a default service charge of 10% added onto our bill. The service didn't warrant a tip and with the pressure of having to say "I would like the service charge removed" I just paid anyway. We also saw (on the card they gave with the bill) that 75p was automatically added to our bill. This was some charge related to getting free unlimited tap water. We didn't get a chance to read this before paying, wasn't on the bill and we never even got any of this amazing unlimited tap water Pie Minister is offering. In my opinion, it's a shady business practice and I don't see myself going to another Pie Minister due to the above.

We had lunch here today and were very impressed by the service and were made to feel very welcome by the friendly staff. The food was excellent and very filling. I would certainly recommend it to anybody who loves pies ! If they are looking to open another branch they could do a lot worse than York.

I had cheese mash and fungi chicken with veg all amazing my mate had chicken leek and normal mash we had pork scratching to share all amazing highly recommend and Beth that served us was efficient pleasant friendly

Wandered around Leeds for ages and came across this place Belting pies 💯 The young lad waiting on us was really nice and helpful

Great food served quick I initially went in for the Sunday Best which was like the traditional Sunday roast with Yorkshire pud, but that finished about 5 pm which was disappointing. Otherwise it was great food very tasty and great for a quick meal

Fantastic food, superb service, altogether amazing. I would thoroughly recommend this establishment, what a great evening!

Very tasty pie, perfect crust and filling, tasted delicious. Beautifully presented, good service, would definitely return.

Quick orders and cooking times. Super friendly staff. Food portions were just right. And the taste was amazing. Would really recommend. It's hard to find a main meal under £10 at a restaurant nowadays. But they have it here!

The only downside was the card machines being out of service but the cash machine is close by, the servers, the food and the presentation was spot on.

We visited today for lunch (table 2) as me and my fiancé were out shopping for our wedding and we of course had to stop here for the best pies in Yorkshire! We’ve been a couple of times before. Today however was the best visit! Our server Beth- absolute angel! She really is a credit to this restaurant! From her smile as she greeted us through the door, to sitting us in a quieter area on request because I’m hard of hearing! So I like to be able to hear my partner when we talk with minimal distraction! She even complimented me on my eye makeup which I appreciated! All the staff are beautiful human beings in their personality but Beth just makes the place extra special with her professionalism, charm and her passion in customer service. The food- I will never have a bad word to say, we ordered two pie meals, 3 small plates and drinks, amazing value! The food came hot, quick and well presented! If you like pies- you’re not going to be disappointed or leave hungry! We shall be back again very soon before our wedding! Thank you a million to all the incredible staff for providing a great, safe atmosphere, delicious food and smiles! Get yourselves there at least once for a rustic, friendly experience in the heart of Leeds! Yay!

Came for a bottomless brunch with friends and wouldn’t do it again. Extremely slow service, had to wait 15 minutes for our first drink, food came out nice and quick but we were half way through eating before even having a drink! Surely drinks should come out before the meal? Had to go up to the bar multiple times to order another drink. Had to ask for Prosecco for the table, never had to do that at a brunch before, then when it came, they didn’t even bring any glasses for the Prosecco so had to go back up to the bar to ask for some glasses! Air con dripped all over my friend, when mentioning this and about moving tables, the server just walked off and never came back?? Pies were as nice as usual and drinks were strong though, but I wouldn’t recommend the bottomless brunch.

Excellent as always, our son wanted to go for his 18th Birthday for an evening meal, great service and great food, thanks PM 😁😁

Attended a bottomless brunch as a group of 10 and were told that we needed to be seated separately, which we assumed under the rule of 6.They proceeded to explain to us that in fact they will be seating us completely separately, at different sides of the restaurant despite ample free seating nearby. I could understand if this was a covid safe precaution but the seats around us were later occupied by other customers.After making peace with the seating arrangement we hoped to at least make the most of our bottomless drinks, though service was very slow and as is customary only one drink at a time. There was plenty of staff and the female customers seated nearby were attended very regularly and with haste.The food as expected was very good, but everything else was so poor I’ll not be visiting again.

Came here for bottomless brunch for a friend's birthday. The only reason I gave this place 2 stars is because the pie was nice.Do not come here with more than 6 people as you will not be sat anywhere near your other friends, you'll be put at the other end of the restaraunt simply because you know each other.. But it's alright for you to make friends with the strangers on the table 2 meters away from you. The service was quite slow with the drinks and you couldn't order another drink until you were 'almost done' with your first drink. The reason we wanted to keep ordering more drinks was due to the slow service. I appreciate that it was a Saturday and probably busier than normal but not being able to order more than one drink at a time seemed a bit petty, considering the fact that the drinks are also very small and quite weak.All in all I wouldn't really recommend this place for bottomless brunch. Maybe if it wasn't for the current covid situation things may have been better.Nice pies though.

Throughly enjoyed our Lunch. We even purchased a copy of their Cook Book. Our second visit and a third soon. Regards Ian

Me and my partner visited during the time you could only sit outside it was raining a little but didn't deter us. We got a seat outside the staff member s were extremely polite and greeted us with a smile. The food came put fairly quickly and was absolutely delicious and a reasonable price. We left really happy and satisfied a real gem in Liverpool

Have pieminster kinda often, always lush! Vegan options are so so good and the Sunday best is delish! Naomi was super nice and chatty and we loved her vegan tee 😁

Came in today for lunch and have never been in a Pieminister before. I think the best way to describe our visit was "Phhhwwwoooarrr"Service was great, we were served by two people, I only got one name (Michael) but both were great.Santiser station by the door and the place was very well set out to observe social distancing.I had the ranger, and husband the beef, bacon & wine and OH MY GOD .....THE FOOD WAS SEXY!I would have taken a picture but was too busy enjoying (scoffing!)Will be back for sure! Got my eye on the Ruby!!I'm hoping pie will now become a regular option in this house!

¡Mi primera visita y ciertamente no será la última! Nuestro camarero, Michael, fue increíblemente amable y servicial, ¡realmente hizo que nuestra experiencia fuera mejor! ¡Pudimos probar el Sunday Best, que nos complació saber que se puede hacer vegano! Es una pena que no haya budines de Yorkshire veganos, pero sé lo difícil que es hacerlos. Todo estaba delicioso, servicio rápido y excelente relación calidad-precio. Estoy deseando volver y gracias de nuevo, Michael.

We when't in for lunch with my wife's mother who is fussy.but we can'tsay enough about how much we enjoyed it the staff we're so friendly.the food excellent and the service was second to none if you like pie this is for you with a wide choice.

La comida es increíble. Los pasteles son tan buenos, ¿qué más se puede decir de ellos? Las patatas fritas son mejores que el puré, así que consígalas. Un problema que tuvimos es que encontramos el lugar un poco sucio. Nuestros vasos y una botella de leche que teníamos estaban visiblemente sucios. Afortunadamente, lo notamos después de haber comido, pero hay ranuras en la mesa que están sucias y cubiertas de suciedad. No estoy seguro de haber podido estornudar mi comida si hubiera visto eso antes. Pero la comida es excelente.

This is a test review for management purpose Amazing pies Amazing service Amazing time The moo was out of this world Would 100% recommend

Great food and great service! Really decent meal for the price. We was served by a lovely chap called Oliver, he was really friendly and helpful!

Had a lovely lunch here the pies are DELICIOUS. Liked how simple it is to choose your pie and sides combo and great value for money. Also had a pudding each and would recommend either the sticky toffee or the chocolate. Oliver was very welcoming and chatty and when I asked about the pigs in blankets he was very happy to share the secret of why they tasted so good!

Visited in the evening for pie and 2 sides, food was perfect, service from Oliver was impeccable. Highly recommend.

Mi novia y yo fuimos hoy y fuimos recibidos por su excelente miembro del personal, Oliver. Nos habló como si hubiéramos sido amigos durante años y nos hizo sentir realmente bienvenidos y ofreció su opinión sobre las bebidas que íbamos a pedir. Cuando preguntamos por las tartas, dijo que todas son increíbles. No se equivocó. Me comí un magnífico "moolin pícaro", que fue el pastel más sabroso que he comido. ¡También fue un gran valor! Oliver, el anfitrión, fue un mérito para su equipo y no puedo esperar a volver

Visited pieminster with my partner. The food was quick, hot and delicious. The atmosphere is great and Oliver our server was absolutely top class! Definitely recommend.

Great meal absolutely lovely pie minted mushy peas were yummy nice pint of IPA to wash it down. It was a last minute find on a Saturday night we were so glad we found it staff were friendly and very helpful.

Oliver served us and treated us to the new vegan pies which aren't out yet! He was friendly, genuine and catered extremely well to us. This man deserves a promotion!

Oliver served us tonight and was really great! He was very smiley, made some good recommendations on drinks & let us try the mooless moo despite it not being on the menu yet! Definitely would visit again.

After a heavy Thursday night a few of us were feeling a little delicate. By lunchtime we needed food and lots of it. We wondered over here which was a first for me. The pie and mash was epic. Has a beer to wash it down, what more could you want?!Can I ask if you can do pie, mash and Liquor. I know is a east end dish but it’s so good. Can’t want to go back.

Booked Pieminster for lunch on a rainy Saturday after a night out in Leeds. Brilliant choice! Despite it being Saturday lunchtime, the restaurant felt spaced out and safe, with lots of hand gel available and track and trace details taken. Our server Michael was really friendly, helpful and really personable. Always nice to meet a fellow North Eastener! Ordered two of the 'Mothership' because we were hungover and hungry. They did not disappoint. Chunky, flavoursome pies, smooth mash and peas, all smothered with gravy and sprinkled with crispy onion and cheese. Despite the size, we managed to polish them off! Although tempted we admitted defeat and didn't order a dessert. Overall great value, great wholesome food and a nice atmosphere.

I booked a table online for the last day of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme after finding other places fully booked but I should have come here first! As the online booking only allows parties for up to four people I booked it and called the following day to double check if it would be ok to squeeze in a fifth person in the form of a three year old which they kindly allowed (thank you!)From entering to leaving the staff were all really kind, friendly and accommodating. We were provided with kids' menus without us even having to ask. We asked lots of questions, we changed our minds about orders and I asked for regular peas instead of mushy peas as part of a deal and I was worried we were confusing - and probably annoying - the waiting staff. On top of that my nephews were quite noisy at times that day! If any of this bothered the staff they did not show it at all (again, thank you!) They took everything in their stride.Our orders arrived correctly and quickly and was absolutely delicious! Between us we ordered three vegan pies and two vegan kids meals and we couldn't stop saying how amazing the food was. We can't wait to go back again!

Just the best pies ever! Thanks Michael for being so welcoming and accommodating despite being busy. Would highly recommend it.

The pies and service was fantastic. Thanks Michael, you were great and rescued our lunch plans on the last day of help to eat out!

We went for a family meal for our sons birthday on Tuesday lunchtime , what a bargain with the 50% off.Our server, Rachel, was super efficient and explained how everything is currently working with the current pandemic. She even organised a candle in the dessert for our son. Top food, top staff, we'll definitely be back

Thanks to michael and the whole team for always making feel so welcome there. Lovely team Excellent pies Highly recommended place to eat in or out.

Michael was excellent at his service skills. Was made to feel very welcome with free book recommendations and a cheery disposition...oh and the food was totally BANGIN!!! Be back again soon

The service here was amazing, we had a guy called Micheal serve us our food and drinks he was REALLY helpful and made us feel right at home. It was my first time at Pieminister and I will definately be coming back for more.The portions were perfect and everything tasted amazing!

Great food, perfect service and even accomdated us on a busy day when we booked the wrong time. Can't thank Michael enough! Will be back soon

Great pies, went for a meal with family where servers were friendly and safely distanced nice one way sistem aswell. Fantastic food !

Was met at the door by the very lovely Rachel , who took us to our seats Quickly went through the Covid stuff ,, the pie and mash were delicious And the service excellent , very much look forward to going again .

Michael was excellent and the food was wonderful as always. Good hygiene measures in place to keep everyone safe.

Food was excellent and service was outstanding. We were served by Rachel who really went above and beyond to ensure our time was as safe and special as possible given current circumstances :)

Amazing food as you can see we finished everything easily 😋 and a great server. Michael was positively delightful! Very bubbly!

the food was amazing! lots of options, like vegan and gluten free. our server, Michael, was really friendly and provided great service. overall great atmosphere :)

Such quick service, really great food and lovely server!! Thanks Michael and the rest of the team!!!

We made the booking on line which was quick and easy with returning email confirming the booking. These are strange time to be venturing out to restaurants and were a little nervous how ever there was no need at all. We had finished our shopping earlier than expected and called to see if they could accommodate us. The young man was happy to see us and showed us to our self distancing table, he explained that they had a reduced menu at the moment, there was plenty to choose from. He explained how the food would be delivered at a distance. He was knowledgeable regarding the menu pleasant and helpful. Now the food well we were not disappointed the pastry was crisp as it should be the insides were meaty, tasty and full of flavour. The gravy was tasty and the mushy peas as they should be. We shared a helping of pork scratching sand apple sauce wow a must have. The experience was good and we felt the establishment and staff were doing their utmost to make it a safe and comfortable environment with good sanitising practice and hand sanitiser stations.

Great service by OLLY tonight. Pie goood. Sides goood. Beers gooood. Olly was friendly cheerfull and accomodating!

It’s becoming a bit of a tradition now for my daughter and me to come here on our shopping trips to town. We visited again today and was not disappointed - quick and efficient service & lovely food.Shout to our waiter Ollie who is going to be my first fan on my quest for internet stardom ;) Would recommend and will definitely be returning!

The food was delicious and arrived super quick but Oli our waiter really made our visit a memorable one! He looked after us well and made us laugh so much. An absolute asset to your team. We'll definitely come back!

I organised a work team meal here and the staff made it super easy for me to arrange this with colleagues with pre-orders etc. We had the upstairs room to ourselves and had our own bar run by 2 nice members of staff (I think one was called Naomi) - both were really friendly and welcoming. There was a bit of a gap between people receiving meals but I understand the chef only has one pair of hands. We were allowed to stay in the bar for drinks after and I gather everyone had a great night. Would come again, well done team!

The Sunday Best is a fantastic deal. Great pies and desserts. Unfortunately, the service was terrible. We waited 15 minutes before anyone took our order. The table next to us were served after us. They’d eaten, had their dishes taken away and paid before our dishes were removed. We couldn’t attract anyone’s attention and we were walked passed several times. Food great, service, needs more customer service training

We love this restaurant and come whenever we can as they have a fantastic range of options including vegan, veggie and gluten free. Special mention to 'Geordie' Michael (our waiter) for being so fantastic and friendly.

There's a reason we keep coming back here! Such delicious food, and fabulous service (Geordie Michael in particular on this occasion!).

A family favourite, Pieminister Leeds is friendly and we always enjoy going. Food is good and fills us up.

It was cod offal.Now that is out the way! I have to say I did pieminister a few years back in London. Loved it ever since, moved to Leeds a few years back and always talked to my Mrs about it. Her being Yorkshire through and through I was confident she will lake it.Anyway we went a few weeks back and it was great, we loved it, the menu is small and quite simple but that's what you want in my eyes for a place like this.The meat and cooking of the pie and mash was fantastic, filled well, perfect every time and the gravy was to die for.Honestly fills you a little more than you think it does as well which is great! I even went for lunch the next day 3 pasties for £6! Really can;t moan at that tbh!Honestly going to take her mum and dad out there, weird to take them to a pie place... but it's fantastic!!

Heart warming food & good service! Ricardo was fab, very friendly and funny! Will deffo be returning 🤩

Great food, great service. Impressed with the menu, something for everyone in our party. Lots of vegan options. Will be back again soon, thanks a lot.

Lovely birthday lunch with lovely service from Michael. Good service for a larger group and lovely food too.

I have been here twice, once at lunchtime and once in the evening, both times was seated and served quickly. The staff are all friendly and polite, the menu choices are great too, I go for vegan options and there are a couple, and then plenty more for veggie and meat eaters. Good portion sizes, reasonably priced and really good flavour!

Visited today for the first time, lovely place, great atmosphere, good food and served by Mike, who was friendly and very polite. Highly recommend

Excellent pies and brilliant service from Michael, will definitely be back. Get the moo every time, too gravy to go with

Michael was a wonderful host. The food was tasty and very good value. The atmosphere was buzzing even in the early evening. A great option for good English style dishes with a modern twist.

Amazing pies and great service from Michael. I had the mushroom and chicken pie which was great and the halloumi on a stick is the best. Will definitely be back 🥰

First time visiting and will definitely be back, the food was delicious. Excellent service from Michael.

Abbiamo scelto questo locale leggendo le recensioni di Tripadvisor e non ce ne siamo pentiti. Pieminister fa parte di una catena ma, devo dire, la qualità c'è. Le pies sono molto buone ed abbondanti, il servizio essenziale, come del resto in altri locali inglesi, ma cortese e veloce. Noi abbiamo preso "The Mothership", tre classic pies (due "Chicken of Aragon" e una "Kevin"), patate, olive e da bere: 55.75 sterline. Il locale è molto caratteristico e presenta l'atmosfera tipica dei pub inglesi.

We often come here and the food is always great. Michael looked after us very well. Thank you for a proper tea!

Second time we have been. Great food great service. Highly recommended. They want at least one hundred Characters for some reason but I’ve run out of things to say.

The food was amazing and sorted our hangover out completely. Michael our waiter was very good and even gave us hints and tips of places to go and see in Leeds. A really great experience for an amazing price.

Michael made mine and my other halves experience amazing! Great atmosphere and made to feel welcome!

Found this pie and mash restaurant by accident and called in for lunch what a great find.The pie and mash are the best pies we have ever had. The service was friendly and the food was reasonably priced to .Will definitely go back if in Leeds again

Our group of 5 visited on a Wednesday evening and were surprised by how busy it was. We had pre-booked so were shown to our table which was an extremely uncomfortable booth with little room to move even though the table was set for 6 and there were only 5 of us.

I loved the Vegetarian Christingle Pie with mash and gravy, top food. There is also a good selection of Pie friendly beers.

Totally loved it starting with the friendly service from a tall blonde guy with lots of tattoos looked after us well good was amazing had a moo and a moo and blue perfect couldn't fault it wish we lived closer we would be back

Been to Pieminster in Nottingham before and it was fantastic. Leeds was disappointing due to terrible service, had to get up and ask the person if they’d mind taking a drink/food order as they just ignored us, it wasn’t that busy. Food was great and love the menu, especially the Christmas themed pies, and it’s great value for money. The gravy tasted awful though very strong chemical taste and really really thin. I would have asked for some new gravy but no one came to check up on us.

Me and Shall first went to Pie Minister in Bristol with 3 other friendsh. We wanted a quick bite to eat and discovered pie minister! We were sheated quickly, and the waitress even got the allergen menu for our friend, cos she's allergic to nutsh, her face goes red and poofy. Anyways. We ordered a range of pies, vegan ones and normal and some loaded fries, a few beverages. We were really satishfied and overall very impressed, especially for the price. It was great.

great comfort food, very good value for money, delicious i would recommend you can tell they use high quality ingredients

Having been previously and given a 4 star review I'm putting another review to represent two visits in the last two weeks.

Fui a cenar a este gran restaurante con mi hermana. Fue elegido porque tengo intolerancia al gluten y tenían una buena selección de opciones. Al reservar, puse una nota en los comentarios sobre esto y, a la llegada, ¡el menú de gf ya me estaba esperando en la mesa! El servicio fue rápido y eficiente y el personal hablador y agradable. La tarta de pollo con puré de gf era deliciosa, al igual que la tarta Heidi sin gf con puré de queso que tenía mi hermana. Gf salsa fue proporcionada sin tener que pedir. ¡Qué bueno encontrar un pastel de novia! Muy dificil de encontrar. La decoración y el ambiente eran perfectos. Una excelente noche en general.

Entrada rechazada por tener bebé y cochecito. El tipo en la puerta no explicó la razón, solo murmuró algo acerca de tener cuatro cochecitos adentro ya. Había muchas mesas libres y pudimos ver tres sillas altas que no se usaban. No hubo ningún esfuerzo para acomodarnos y se sintió un poco discriminatorio. Tenía muchas ganas de comer un pastel.

Finally called in yesterday after walking past for ages. Kicking myself I didn’t try earlier as it was fantastic.

Me llenó pero no tenía buen gusto. Todo tenía un sabor extremadamente salado, agrio y forzado.

Los pasteles mismos eran para morirse. Perfectamente servido y precioso.

Food was lovely but service as said, was very slow! Our drinks took 20 minutes to be served. It wasn’t busy so not sure what the hold up was? Would go again though!

We came as part of our first Leeds Light Night experience. Whilst we weren’t over enamoured by the lights, the meal was superb. Hubby had Moo with chips and onion rings. I had the Free Ranger with mash and minted mushy peas. Both meals were beautiful and we’ll definitely go again. Initially, my husband was brought a pint of Cola, he’d ordered Coke (won’t drink others), which they swapped without an issue. My diet cola wasn’t particularly nice but not objectionable enough to swap. Maybe you could consider, at equivalent to the cola prices currently charged, offering ‘on tap’ versions of branded soda drinks? It isn’t a major criticism but would enhance our dining experience another time. The waiting staff were all very friendly and attentive.

Always a treat for a stodgy Sunday meal. Had a moo as part of the Sunday special with the Black Forest gateau pie as a dessert, all washed down with a fiery ginger ale. Attentive service and pleasant servers.

Exactly what it says on the tin.

Having enjoyed eating in the Cardiff one I came here for dinner.

I have wanted to go here since it opened and have tried in the past to book but not managed to get in. So when myself and the husband were in town and saw it was pretty much empty we thought we'd stop for lunch.

Been here a couple of times now & have not been disappointed. Most recent visit was a Thursday evening around 6pm. Hardly any wait for a table and food came quickly. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Pies are lovely and pigs in blankets are gorgeous! Will definitely be returning to try more of the pies.

My husband and i passed this on our way too the armories and decided too go when we got back into the centre...was absolutely beautiful ..quality tasty pies and mash ..good service from the young gentleman and not too expensive would recommend and if where back this way again would definately revisit :)

We were wandering in Leeds last night looking for something to eat and in the end Pieminister was chosen more of our desperation admittedly, but it was a fortuitous choice.

Delicious homemade pies with superb pastry and good quality fillings. My steak and kidney pie was excellent and actually had a reasonable amount of kidneys in it, which were also not like mush, which can happen to overcooked kidneys. A tasty gravy to accompany it and really good mashed potatoes.

Met up with a work colleague for a catch up and a bit of a social afternoon. All meals were served quickly and non of them disappointed. In fact one of us didn’t like pie. However she is now a convert.

Carb overload but a very tasty meal. Very good service and the beer was cold. I've been back, so it's definitely worth a visit.

We didn’t have a reservation and the only table they said they had for the five of us was cramped and claustrophobic. We took it.
