Such friendly service! I enjoyed the Christingle seasonal pie with peas and mash. It was the perfect meal for a cold, drizzly day.

We arrived pretty late at oxford but chaps at pieminister were welcoming and allowed us to takeaway some of the pies left. We would have loved them heated I think.

Insanely good gluten-free pies available upon request🥧 We ordered our pies, which were made fresh, then were able to walk around the Covered Market for about 30 minutes while they were made. We got two pies but wish we had gotten several to go - they were incredible! The best gluten-free pie we've ever had & so fresh! They had several choices for filling & both the ones we got were simply delicious😋 Great service, excellent food & plenty of places to sit to eat your pies in the shop

They have gluten-free cakes (3 different types, one of them vegan) and vegan cakes. Gluten-free cakes take a little longer to make and are delicious. They can be eaten alone or with mashed potatoes and gravy. Very good price

At the end of checkout we were ambushed by a message asking for tips. I hope this US trend doesn't ever pick up. The pies were ok, felt a bit stale, like the food that has been warmed up multiple times.

We visited "Pieminister" at "The Covered Marked," which is at Unit 56-58, Covered Market, Oxford OX1 3DX on Saturday night in November feeling cold and hungry, however, what an amazing experience we had after tasting the most popular and delicious pies in the world! We ordered Kate and Sidney with gravy, Fungi Chicken with Gravy and Earl Grey. Everything was tasty. the service was fast and pleasant. We paid £18,50 which is not cheap, but we don't regret this because we enjoyed the Christmas spirit and Victorian Oxford. I would recommend to "Pieminister" to display napkins and sugar for customers as we had to ask for them. Thank you for a lovely time!

¡Mi experiencia en Pieminister fue excelente! Fue atendido por el caballero con barba y proporcionó un servicio al cliente excepcional, mientras que ofrece un gran conocimiento sobre los pasteles! El tipo alto en la caja era muy agradable y nos acomodó muy bien! ¡Asegurándonos de que todas nuestras necesidades de pasteles estaban cubiertas! Sin duda recomendaría a todo el mundo especialmente el Moo y Blue y Freeranger pastel! ¡Volveremos el año que viene! No puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente!

I am absolutely disgusted by the way I was treated at Pieminister Covered Market today. What should have been a pleasant lunch stop turned into a truly awful experience, thanks to the unbelievably rude and aggressive behaviour of two members of staff. Initially, one of the men (black hair, moustache) told me it was fine to take photos and videos as long as he wasn't in them, which I readily agreed to. I waited until the second server (red hair) had moved away from the counter before filming the pies on display, ensuring no one was in shot. While zooming in on the overhead menu, I inadvertently captured the first man in the frame for a second, I simply didn't see him as I was focused on the menu. The red-haired server then proceeded to shout at me, claiming I had been told no one was allowed to be filmed. Both he and his colleague were incredibly demeaning and hostile, raising their voices and making me feel extremely uncomfortable and bullied. Despite apologising profusely and explaining it was an accident, they continued their tirade, even suggesting they should put up signs banning photography because their boss wouldn't like it. Their behaviour was completely unacceptable and frankly, shocking. I was left feeling intimidated and upset, and they utterly ruined what was otherwise a lovely day in Oxford. This one negative encounter has cast a shadow over my entire trip. Sadly, it seems I'm not alone in experiencing this appalling customer service. Having read other reviews, it appears that rudeness from staff is a recurring theme at Pieminister Covered Market. This suggests a serious problem with the culture and training within this establishment. Pieminister, you seriously need to address the attitude of your staff. This is not how customers should be treated. I will certainly never return and will be sharing my experience with everyone I know.

Fui a Pieminster Oxford después de escuchar lo bueno que era. Cuando entramos nos encontramos con un servicio horrendo. Un trabajador nos empujó bajo presión a decidir inmediatamente lo que queríamos después de solo entrar. Luego procedimos a preguntar si los pasteles que estarían listos en 10 minutos eran veganos. A esta pregunta nos encontramos con sí son vegetarianos. ¿Los trabajadores saben siquiera la diferencia? Esto fue muy preocupante ya que no sabemos qué podría haber dentro de este pastel que podría ser vegetariano o vegano. Este fue solo uno de los muchos problemas con el servicio que se nos presentó. Debido a la espera de 10 minutos que se debió a los pasteles que todavía se están preparando, nos fuimos a dar un paseo. dimos la vuelta al mercado luego fuimos a buscar un Panini a una tienda dentro del mercado ya que alguien de nuestra fiesta no quería un pastel. Luego regresamos a PieMinster y esperamos en la fila mientras llegábamos al mostrador nos encontramos con la misma hostilidad y servicio al cliente desagradable que mostró el trabajador masculino. Esperábamos comer dentro y ni siquiera se nos dio la oportunidad u opción de esperar a que un espacio estuviera disponible. Nuestra comida fue metida en una caja de cartón y no etiquetada en cuál era vegana y cuál no. Esto provocó confusión y más decepción por la falta de un servicio básico al cliente. Debido a tener un Panini con nosotros rápidamente nos molestaron debido a que aparentemente no podíamos comerlo en tienda. Hoy hemos gastado 38 libras en la tienda y probablemente no volveremos hasta que se haya realizado una formación urgente en atención al cliente. Mi consejo sería no visitar a menos que disfrute de un mal servicio al cliente.

The pie was okay but was bit too salty for my taste. Because we had little time, we finished the pie in less than 10 minutes and we were getting ready. Then the male server came on and took our dishes and napkins away(even before I use the napkin after eating the pie) without a word. That man's behaviour was very rude and has to be fixed for next customers.

We ordered 3 cold pies to take away - moo, fungi chicken and Heidi. Staff is helpful teaching us and marking down the baking instructions on the bag for us. We love the beef and chicken pies the most. I like goat cheese in the Heidi pie, but it might go better with mushrooms than sweet potatoes, which is now too heavy and too much carbs in a pie.

I gave one star because I couldn't do less. A very bad experience having lunch here, the boy who served me was in quite a hurry and even though he was only supposed to serve me, there was no one waiting after me, he rushed me and arrogantly repeated what I told him. The food did not have a well-defined flavor and seemed to me something closer to an industrially prepared dish. Let's leave aside the well-known English hygiene, dirty tables and dishes of dubious cleanliness, the service was almost zero. The point is that these funny guys had the courage to ask for a tip.......But what is the tip for???? The answer is yours.

I’ve had pies before, but not like the ones they make at Pieminister! Wholesome. Tasty. Well-baked. I had the Moolin Rouge - a British Beef pie made with Bacon and Red wine. Pleasantly hard outer crust so the stuffing stays in place and delicious once you break it in! Don’t worry if you’re non-alcoholic, the wine is cooked through so it makes the pie flavorful!

I ordered two pies, one chicken and one beef for myself. The first staff who served me was friendly, but instead of combining two pies in one plate he put them separately. So I asked if they can put two together in one plate, then another staff(Indian descent) rudely spoke to me and used his bare hand to put two pies together! I felt very uncomfortable and poorly treated! Then let’s talk about the food, the fillings were just okay, but the bottom crust was just so hard to chew, felt like eating carton box! So I couldn’t finish it and just left. Won’t come back for sure!

We turned up at about 2.30pm on a Saturday - admittedly a bit on the late side - to find nearly everything had gone. But we all got something to eat with the exception of one of us, who had a terrible mustard allergy. We asked if they had an allergy menu to be told it was online. But we couldn't get any signal there, and that appeared to be that as far as the staff were concerned. I would have thought, in this day and age, a simple A4 with the allergens in each pie wouldn't be too much to ask for.

As a Londoner I have a good knowledge and experience of Pie and Mash meals. Considering the best authentic pie and mash shop in London (which serves gluten free deep pastry pie, double scoops of mash, liquor, peas) charges approx £7 or less. The comparative of one shallow pie and and not much mash (which didn't seem to be made with butter and little to no milk), without mushy peas (they are not gluten free), and without liquor (they don't sell it!?!?), but with some gf gravy; cost a few pence short of £10 is somewhat audacious. This shop was a disappointment for a list of reasons: The meal was not at all great. I have enjoyed supermarket gluten free frozen pies far better. It was served to me in a box (the person who took my order told me from the get go that he was going to only give me a takeaway box, a dinner plate was somehow not an option) which seemed to be a deterrent for me to eat in. The following episode made me quite willing to not remain on the premises: When taking my order he was just talking fast at me not looking at me or even standing still in front of me to take my order. He was just walking off all over the place behind the counter. I needed a gluten free pie, I was trying to find out which pies I could have and what their content was. He just wouldn't stand still and speak with me. If the excuse is that he was busy, the order took far longer because he just didn't stand still in front of me to advise then take my order in a straightforward efficient manner. He was also quite rude when I returned after a 20 minute wait for the pie to cook. When I made a reference to the sign in the shop requesting for reviews to be left online his flippant response was: "I don't care about reviews. I am not likely to be here for long anyway". This was when my food was meant to be served to me (at the same counter the order is placed and where other customers are placing food orders), again he was not bothering to assist me. I brought to his attention that while he was being rude and obnoxious there are other customers present. He then apologised to them (not me) and initiated the action to take their food orders (which he more than once got wrong). The saving grace in the dining experience was another member of staff, Devon, who seemed to be the kitchen person and clearer in the dining area. He took over my food order and kindly dished up and brought my food to me. He was incredibly gracious and made apologies for his colleague. This is clearly a quality member of staff who most likely bears the brunt of the front of house colleague who handles the food orders and payments. I only had to experience the rude and arrogant staff member for a short time, and I am certain never again (as I will NOT be returning), but Devon who is a true gem of a member of staff most likely has to exercise patience and grace all day long in order to work with his colleague. In summary: the price is ostentatious considering London pie shops offer better pies, larger servings, and with authentic liquor. The front of house staff seems to struggle to deliver any competent or polite customer service, and he is quite arrogant. Nothing about the location, service or food justifies the cost of £9.95 which exceeds all London pie and mash shop prices.

We were keen keen to try your Pie's, but were shocked by the rudeness of the lady with the red/pink mohawk-like hair at the counter. It wasn't terribly busy, just us and another couple waiting to order, the woman announced she only had a few Pie's ready, but more would be ready in 10 minutes. We were happy to wait and totally understood, but when I approached her to order, she again announced "these are all the Pie's we have at the moment", I was still happy to pay & wait the 10 minutes but she told us to leave and come back, while leaning forward, scowling and then sarcastic smiling once I'd got the message! I'm sure she wasn't surprised to not see us back there 9 minutes in 30 seconds later if this is how she speaks to all the customers, she will have to eat all the Pie's herself. Oh wait...

I have Coeliac disease and have to eat gluten free. We were visiting Oxford from NZ and didn’t know anywhere to go where I might get something to eat as we have found getting good gf food difficult during our past 2 months here in the UK. Pieminster advertised they do gf pies so we thought we’d give it a try and we were not disappointed. I had a delicious chicken, ham and leek pie whilst my husband and our friends had variations of the Moo pie. All 4 of us were very happy with our choices and if we were in the area would go back. I note some comments about pies not being available or a wait to get served. There were some pie options that weren’t available but there were plenty of other choices. I was advised by the guy who served us I would have to wait 15mins for my pie which was fine and it was hot and crisp (which can be a challenge with gf pastry) when I got it. I didn’t realise this is a chain of stores but if the others are half as good as the one in Oxford I’d say great.

Despite the name "Moo and Blue", it took me until I put the pie in my mouth to realize it had blue cheese in it. Nowhere near an overwhelming amount, though, so you get the taste of it without that little shiver when you eat too much. The meat was tender and the mash and peas were also good. Overall, would return if I was ever in the area again.

Delicious pie. It could be better if it is crunchy. Very good services

Our lunch here was absolutely delicious! The restaurant was really nice and tidy and clean. We weren’t sure what to order but Harneek helped us decide and we both went for the chicken funghi. He was very polite and helpful and we will come back to try some of the others he recommended. Recommend pie minister to everyone 👍

Unfortunately the staff were super rude - we stood around waiting at the till to order, while a staff member watched us wait. When someone finally came over to us, we were informed that there was absolutely nothing left. Why didn’t they let us know when we walked in? Why didn’t they inform us, instead of watching us wait? Just weird

Terrible. I went 3 times during the lunch period, each time they were out of pies and told me they were cooking more giving me times and each time I’d come back to them having no more pies, or a couple very obscure vegetarian pies. There were people walking away hungry each time, so why didn’t they just cook more?? The staff clearly didn’t care. I eventually got the last steak and stilton pie and it was really gross. The stilton was so overpowering I couldn’t taste anything else… and almost no meat in it.

I visited Pieminister because it came highly recommended and I was not dissapointed. Unfortunately we arrived almost at closing time so the pie options left was not great, but the one we had was still delicious. Go and have your lunch there, it's a must

Seems like some people have had issues with the cleanliness during their visit. We had no such issues—and my wife pays particular attention to those elements, notably the health code violations. The pies were delicious. I had a traditional beef and ale, my wife had a chicken one with peas and such. I went back for a second and got the chicken tikka. The cheesy mash potatoes were also great. I was told you always get gravy and have no issue to doubt this advice ex post. The only issue was that I ate so much that I was full for the next day and a half.

I never ate a pie before, so I can't compare, but I enjoyed it very much. Not the best foto, but I swear - it was delicious.

We went there at Saturday lunch time so it was pretty busy. But they offer a wide range of options, with vegan gravy. Pretty authentic place, and the staff was nice. Affordable too.

Our first time in Oxford. We found the covered market & then had to make the difficult decision of what to eat. As huge pie & mash fans we have had some of the best in Whitby & Bridgnorth so had to try a new place. We were certainly not disappointed. A good selection of pies & sides to choose from at a very reasonable price. You can't beat homemade pastry. Delish! We will be back from the Midlands as soon as we can ✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️😋

Your sign said to leave a review. I find this very brave when your customer service couldn't even be described as minimal. We received our pies, asked for cutlery. I was pointed towards two empty boxes. No explanation given had to wait 5 minutes for more cutlery to be forthcoming. I asked for tap water was pointed towards and empty fridge. When asked the lady behind the till simply grunted then produced some luke warm water from a dirty carafe. So maybe remove the sign begging for good reviews until you could provide a service above that of a prison cafe.

Super tasty! Do not be intimidated by the line, it moves quickly. That said they will be out of more popular pies by noonish. I enjoyed my Moo and Bloo as well as Chicken Tikka.

Rien de bien extraordinaire dans ces produits industriels réchauffés voire décongelés; ça cale quand on a faim lors d'une visite à Oxford pour manger sur le pouce. Une pâte très friable et une garniture presque insipide Service sans grande attention particulière, à la chaîne.

Wir übernachteten hier, wurden sehr freundlichen empfangen, bekamen ein schönes Zimmer, hatten einen netten Drink am Abend. Das Fenster konnte nicht ganz geschlossen werden....die Nacht war trotzdem ok, obwohl die Lage an einer Kreuzung laut hätte sein können. Das Frühstück war dann leider sehr enttäuschend: wir bestellten von der Karte Tee, Cereals und Eggs Benedict. Der Tee wurde gebracht, nach ca 20-25 Minuten bekamen wir die Eierspeise und fragten nach unseren Cereals: Die kommen jetzt, das muss immer zusammen aus der Küche kommen???? Das haben wir beide (mein Mann ist Engländer und ich reise über 50 Jahre lang dorthin) noch nie erlebt, dass die Cerealien MIT oder NACH der Warmspeise serviert wird. Wir bestellten somit die Cereals ab, denn dann wären die Eier kalt gewesen. Wir ernteten jedoch nur einen unverständnisvollen Blick! Nun gut, wenn das dort so ist! Die Eier waren gut!

After a few months in the wilderness with poor service and numerous menu omissions, I’m pleased to report that The Red Lion is well and truly back in the game! Service was really good. Steve, as were the rest of the staff, was very friendly, knowledgable and attentive. One of our party of six was a Coeliac, veggie who was extremely well advised and catered for. We all opted for items off the varied three course Christmas Festive Menu, which was unanimously voted excellent. Portion sizes were good, food hot, well presented and flavoursome. I can vouch for the mushroom starter, traditional turkey roast and Christmas pud, all of which were delicious. It’s good to see you back.
