The Pie Room in Camden

By accident, ended up at the same restaurant and same server 2 nights in a row @Pie Room on High Holden, London. Lucia was fantastic, and our party of 4 became fast friends with her Monday night, and then tonight our CEO had booked the same restaurant (unknowingly) for our business party of 10, and fortunately she was our server again. Amazing savory pies, cheeses and red wine. A must stop on London - be sure to ask for Lucia and tell her I said hi! Be sure to try one of their 300 gins.

Pie was excellent but very expensive. Beautiful restaurant but limited cider options and not many people there

Special place, delicious food and attentive staff.

If you are staying at rosewood the breakfast here is just ok. The full British breakfast or Avocado toast, acao bowl breakfast options are better. The Chinese breakfast id skip at all cost the rice porridge not the wonton noodle soup is really acceptable. For dinner the pies were well just kinda bleh. Cool looking place though .

Lovely room, service was good but unfortunately quality of the pie was fair to middling only. Disappointing given the price.

Best pie and sausage Rolls ever

Over the top ridiculously expensive for good food.

We came here for Valentine's Day dinner, particularly looking forward the pie options. When we arrived we found it was a set menu and limited a la carte meaning we couldn't get the pie options we had planned. We were greeted by a friendly hostess on the door, and seated quickly, however, after taking our drinks order the service became incredibly inattentive. We waited 20 minutes then had to flag someone down to take our order and it was a further 5 minutes after that until someone came over. We had 3 different waiters throughout the time there so it was difficult to know who to ask. Felt that this was poor for a fairly expensive restaurant. When we did get the food however it was really great. Chicken pie was excellent.

Incredible setting and food but a one off ... Set in a beautiful building, this place has a well curated selection of pies for a lunch sitting (assume dinner is similar) - of the 4 pies on the menu only 3 were available, which is baffling as it was 1pm... But the pork and fennel pie I did get was phenomenal - though I'd expect that at £28 Sides are equally delicious (in our case perfectly crisp chips, and well seasoned/sauced veg) - though also at c.£8-9 per item. Service was fine, relatively attentive, a little obsequious but to be expected. Great for a treat if you're loaded or the company is paying...

Great food. It was beyond delicious

Places discovered by chance are always the best! It was wonderful to be able to enjoy the delicacies here, even the artfully prepared cocktail. All in an art deco environment that makes you feel like you're in a film from the legendary Roaring Twenties!

The restaurant is lacking in value for money as 450£ for dinner won’t leave you impressed. Service was good, with lots of attention. The environment is beautiful. The food was lacking in flavour. 26£ for tiny tuna tartar not worth at all. French onion soup needed salt. Pate looked more like a terrine. Beef and chicken pies were delicious. But the pork pie was a bit burnt and weird taste which is maybe why I had a stomach ache all night. Potato pie flavourless. Pies served on it’s own so the extras comes for 8£ each. Nothing special at all.

Fantastic! Best pies you will ever eat! I always eat here when I visit London 😋

Did anyone say hand made pie? The best is here!

If it’s a decent pie you are craving- perfect location. Great pies. Spoil yourself with a decent glass of wine to go with it

The only artisanal pies in central London, they never disappoint, pastry is spectacular, imho a bit too salty fillings. Sausage roll for £9, pies for 11-12. Mash no longer on the menu - there was the option to add it many years ago - but there is a dauphinoise potato pie.

Not going to lie, this place is only worth going to if a company or someone else is paying for it. I came here on my quest to try all of London's pies and while it was a super tasty pie, it was no where close to being worth the price. The pie and beer pictured below came out to £59. The staff was friendly and checked in regularly, but wow - £59. I expected to find a diamond buried somewhere beneath the crust. I just couldn't get over the price for what I got. If you're looking for pie, go to pretty much any other spot and pay a fraction of the price.

Great place for atmosphere. Portions aren’t generous but it’s the sort of place where you’d expect quality over volume. The bill stung - they charged what I felt was extortionately - particularly for staples like the bread basket and coffee. The pie was delicious and the staff friendly.

Memorable place though bit pricy and bit unwelcoming service I had a hand raised pork pie - it was flavorful and juicy. Was a great dish to try but definitely not a place as “go to” as it was quite expensive (27GBP) They also offer baking class - if you are interested in making own pie with friends/family, it seems quite nice to try out :)

Pie not that special Noisy dining at lunchtime Good and attentive service

The second time I was in the Pie Room. Wonderful service and highly recommend anyone who wants to have decent British pies. You can ask the waiter if you can visit the pie making room. The chefs were very friendly to show us what they were doing. Amazing concept. The only downside is the restroom is outside the restaurant. You have to go out first and downstairs, I suppose it is part of the hotel restroom.

Jeeeezus, everything is exceptional here. Not cheap, but so worth it

After finally pulling the trigger after years of working in the neighborhood, I am very very disappointed in these overpriced pies. I was expecting so much given it is part of luxurious hotel chain Rosewood and at 13-14£ a pie, it better be amazing. However for me it tasted average at best. We tried both the chicken tarragon and the potato dauphinois. My biggest problem is that their pastry tasted sugary and sweet which was a bit odd, chicken was stale, very little mushroom sauce. Wouldn’t have the chicken pie if you paid me to eat it. The potatoe one was nicer but still would not reorder. Can’t believe they charge people 26£ for these if you sit inside! Now we also tried the sausage roll and that was quite decent. However it was just too big and i became nauseous at the end. Priced at 9£ its slightly more reasonable. Service: the lady there was very friendly but took about 3min to pack each pie for each customer so imagine when I realised I was fifth in line. Yes the packaging is nice but some speed would be appreciated. Conclusion: very disappointed, wouldn’t not recommend.

Food was superb, really high standard- had the potato pie which was delicious.

Didn't have a pie (you need to wait 30mins for a pie order) but the food was delicious. Even the sour dough bread for the table was excellent. Would recommend. Traditional British vibe.

Very delicious in flavour however the hot pies were in fact too cold to really enjoy.

Excellent experience at The Pie Room of the Holborn Dining Room, which is connected to the Rosewood Hotel in London. Was very pleased with the service - waiter we had was very attentive. And very much enjoyed the potato and truffle pie - the truffle shavings were a particular delight. Perfect balance of flavours, too, with nothing overpowering. Would easily come here again - best pies in the game!

Learn to cook and stop to use animal corpses and their secretions. It’s vegan or there’s no future

Wow, just wow! Absolutely incredible meal

We booked this as treat for my wife’s birthday. Upon arrival the team were taking negatively about each other! We were then placed in an empty section at the back of the restaurant and assured that other customers would join the area. I can only describe it as ghostly! With all the other customers at the front on the restaurant, to be honest the atmosphere wasn’t fantastic anywhere in the restaurant! We then had to ask to be moved as no one came as promised as we where just sat their alone! The only atmosphere was coming from a party in the hotel courtyard! Americans from the music industry, I believe? Anyway, not only did they make rude comments at my wife as she when to the loos, but argued and shouted throughout our whole meal! (Btw.. they where your guests, not mine) So to sum up our experience! Awful! This is not a cheap venue and with a premium price, you expect premium service! At this price! Book elsewhere!!!!

The best chicken pie I tried in England, highly recommend

Had some lovely pies. Service is wonderful made us feel like rockstars. Lifted our travel weary spirits!

Not life changing but well worth a shot. Lovely handcrafted savory pies in a large elegant room. Attentive service and in particular our server, Adele, was charming and took the time to show us the impressive room where the pies are made fresh every day. A bit pricey but a memorable British experience. Rhubarb dessert was lovely. Scotch egg also tasty.

The pork pie is not good. The crust is hard and burnt. The pork filling is very compact and gamie. Not good

Disappointing and not close to the hype

Pie is above average of British food but don’t expect much, it Still very British. Pretty decor but average service. I hope they would be nicer to Asian. Staff came with meh attitude and ofc We ended up not tipping which generally we do. Expect much more from Rosewood and as a hotel guest, i wont be return to the hotel as well.

Amazing pies. We tried chicken, lamb and potato, all were delicious. Fish and chips was too fat for me but the haddock inside excellent.

It doesn't get more British than eating a meat pie. I know this one is not from a corner pub, but you'll never regret trying it. The Pie Room is located in the Holborn Dining Room in the well-known Rosewood Hotel serving modern British flavors. The pies are handmade by pastry experts who welcomed me into their gorgeous space. An unforgettable experience if you're visiting London! What we ate: • Chicken Pie with chestnut mushrooms, leek fondue, tarragon, and garden peas • Braised Beef Steak Pie with blue cheese and peppercorn • British Cheese Selection

Ridiculously over-priced, dry pie, bland sauce and bland sides. Lovely service and drinks, but you're better of spending your money in other places if you want a culinary experience.

Excellent dining if you like traditional pies!

Seems a bit unfair to only give 4 stars for service, trouble is it is so popular that it takes a while for the great staff to get to you, and I don't think more staff would help without getting each others way. Love it.

“Are you staying with us? No” We were turned away for breakfast at 9:50 when breakfast is until 11am.

It's such a nice little shop, with gorgeous interior and delicious meat pies!

Great pies! Excellent service and good quality good. Atmosphere and decor really nice - would definitely recommend. Nothing negative to say other than a little on the pricey side - however in my opinion worth paying for.

Would love to give a better review for this upscale eatery but unfortunately I can't. Even though the restaurant was only a third full, they forgot my drinks order twice. Service was passable but veering towards the over-familiar. Prices were expensive for the food, especially the pies which were delicious but quite meager with no sides included. In the end, I feel as though we were somewhat taken advantage of rather than treated with care.

The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. A very gourmet take on pies that makes it a unique dining experience. I would highly recommend, especially if in Holborn and want to have a very decadent lunch experience. Also, the bread and butter is incredible.

This place is 2nd to nine. The team here are brilliant. Had a great time and I am looking forward to going back

Ordered via Pie Hole for takeaway The young kid was great, friendly and accommodating, came here twice and was served by him. Baked goods are my weakness and found out their sausage rolls were available, meaty and juice with flakey pastry. You gotta have tomato sauce with your pies/sausage rolls.

Went with my family. "Quality" restaurant, nice place, warm and welcoming. The pies were very good, we took the beef one with blue cheese and the pork one. Crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. All accompanied with gravy. The side dishes and dessert, a caramel cake with whiskey ice cream, were also good. Friendly, friendly and attentive staff. London is expensive, everything costs double, this place is even more expensive, each pie costs around 35 euros on average. The pies are not very large, but they are "heavy". 1 water, 1 starter, 3 pies, 2 side dishes and 1 dessert €200, really a lot, but I repeat, the restaurant is of a certain type. Experience to have.

Wonderful location and food. I had the chicken pie, brocoli sides and rice pudding. The pie was obviously really light (dough was flacky) and inside light. Chicken was really good. The best was my rice pudding. Creative, tasty mixing sweet and sour. Just loved it!

was famished after exploring daunt books at cheapside so decided to have pie for dinner. the walk was rewarding because we ended up at a proper pie eatery. a very fancy, upscale restaurant - didn't realise this when we were searching for dinner options. great ambience with warm lighting. tried the chicken and beef pies along with broccoli on the side. they were very inviting and palatable. you can ask for bread (£4) while waiting for the pies to be served. while it states that waiting time is up to 30 mins, our pies came less than 10mins after our orders. just a note to use the main door which is located at the entrance of the building (as shown in the photo) we almost used the side door which displays the kitchen.

Hours are a lie. Only open 3 days a week and pies available after 12.

We had an early evening sitting. It was his birthday treat. The food was lovely, staff very friendly & beautiful setting

Had the Christmas menu. Food was very underwhelming. Service was however very good

Incredible. The best pies any of us have ever had bar none. Incredible setting in the pie room. Amazing staff. 10/10 food, service, atmosphere. Just brilliant. Thank you so much for such a brilliant evening!

I got a pie, from a window. What more do you want!? 👍

I've dined here a few times, food is utterly average and priced way too high for what it is. Visited again today and was told they were too busy for a walk-in, while the restaurant was basically empty. Not quite sure what this place is trying to be anymore.. You're better off walking 5mins down the road to Wetherspoons to be honest.

Really excellent pies, savory starters, and polished deserts. Decor to impress. Wonderful service too. But all commensurate with the price. Consequently, although I really enjoyed my visit: not brilliant value. Particularly not the wine.

The Pie Room / Holborn Dining room Empfang und Bewirtung sowie Beratung, extraklasse und superfreundlich! Tolles Ambiente, luxuriös und traditionell. Outfit der Crew, auch sehr gefällig!!! Karomuster! Nichts zu meckern. Wir hatten Gin und Cappuchino sowie fantastische Desserts. Alleine wegen der Nachspeisen würden wir wiederkommen. Was wir auch an diesem Abend Taten.

Holborn dining rooms is superb. The made to order pies are to die for. The service here is really good

We visited The Pie Hole takeaway... £13 may sound a lot for a pie, but they're very filling AND incredibly well made with premium ingredients. Honestly, it was the best pie I'd ever eaten. Well worth a visit to pick up a cheeky takeaway.

Most yummy sausage roll and pie ever

The most incredible pies. The lamb was my favourite. An absolute delight. If you’re reading this review, you must come here and see/taste for yourself. It’s quite obvious why Calum Franklin is the pie king of the world. Food: 5 | Service: 4 | Atmosphere: 4

Just got a potato pie to take away. Staff are very nice, pie is totally fine but overpriced for what you’re getting. They should consider expanding their vegetarian options and lowering their prices.

We had our Sunday roast there and it was good.

The Pie Hole is a cool grab and go that sells pies and sausage rolls. Some of the best I’ve had. Head to Red Lion square for a quiet place to eat. Very well executed, interiors are spot on, chefs knocking out food that feels like a hug in front of your eyes. Well done.

Very good and fresh pies in beautiful surroundings. I very much recommend!

So good. Just stopped in on my own. Had oysters and rabbit pate en croute. It was delicious.

I had superb service from Tudor and a lovely pie ❤️

Everything was exceptional, food, drinks and service. Really enjoyed our meal

Very high quality pie and scotch egg would recommend - despite looking quite small the pies are filling and could easily be shared with some starters and sides

The pie room was a highlight of our London experience. Every aspect of the meal was top class. The pies were impeccable, as was the service.

Someone said this was like an American chicken pot pie... not at all! You can almost taste the love for cooking in this pie 🥧. It's so delicious. First it's beautiful to look at, but when you pierce the pastry with your knife and fork, cut away a small piece and drag it through the peas and gravy then take your first bite, you will see what I mean!!

Everything I expected from the brain-child of Chef Franklin. A must if you find yourself in London.

This restaurant is great. I really enjoyed my meal with my husband on our honeymoon. The truffle fries are soft and appetizing. The pies are succulent and well presented. The waiters (Tudor and anikul sorry if there is a mistake in the name) are friendly and polite. See you at the next coronation lol.

Really nice staff and attentive, lovely ambiance in the restaurant too. We got the lamb pie and potato dauphinoise comté and caramelized onions pie. The lamb pie was quite nice and could taste the mint coming through. However, the veggie pie was really really disappointing, no seasoning, no flavor of comté coming through at all, and no sign of any caramelized onions. Super disappointing it was just essentially potato, a bit of cream and no taste. The mash was also lacking serious seasoning. Given the price, we were not impressed. I would have liked to address the concerns with the staff but they didn’t ask wether we enjoyed our meal.

Came in without a reservation (and not a hotel guest) took a bit of time to be seated but we got a table. Service was very friendly. Seating was comfortable and the space is really nice. We both order pies and we’re not disappointed by the namesake. Very flavorful and cooked to be flaky but not overly done. Very much recommend for a great traditional meat pie!

The setting and atomsphere of the dining room is lovely. Friendly Italian waiter full of energy and enthusiasm, eager to please and this is something amazing to see in London restaurants But the food was awful 😖 😱 the much anticipated pork pie was just really average, nothing to shout home about. The beef Wellington was so so, Gordon Ramsey bread Street kitchen does a much better job. The disaster was the grilled pork chop, super ovet cooked and when arrived on the table it was just warm, and those black pudding and crackling crumbs was meaningless. Overall a bad meal and not to be repeated

Too over priced and a bit pretentious .

The waitress was kind and knowledgeable, the place feels cozy and fancy. The wine was good but pricey, unfortunately the pie was too small for its value and the mash potato was lacking seasoning.

Not overly impressed with the pies. Some of them were too well done and the crust was over baked. The ingredients used seem fresh and of good quality. I consider that it is too expensive for the overall experience.

The pies were so good! I had the chicken pie, the vegetable one and a scotch egg. The yolk was so runny and so nice and the meat was just amazing. Panko breadcrumbs were a nice touch too. The chef was so friendly too! Looking forward to dining in the restaurant soon

Elegant, buzzy restaurant with exceptional gin bar! We came here for a special occasion and were made very welcome; service was superb and friendly without being cloying; the pies are everything they promise and more! The menu is cheeringly focused, and the wine list extensive. We will definitely return - this is a fabulous central location and a glamorous but very friendly venue.

Very expensive. We took 2 coffees and 1 dessert. 27 pounds, they took 6 pounds for espresso. But reacted when we told them. 15% of service was added automatically. Very nice place but too expensive for coffee

Service and restaurant ambience is fantastic but the pie was underwhelming, and certainly not worth the price.

Lovely location, nice environment and feeling especially for overseas visitors. Brought a friend from france. Nice service and quick. Disappointing pies, small, no sides, no presentation (pie on a plate), and a bit dry for £27. Honestly, I have far better pies in my local pub for £15. Shame, nice place let down by the quality of the food. Go for the atmosphere, just not the pies. It's not 'bad' it's just pricey for what you get and leaves you with a poor feeling, not even a satisfied feeling.

Good for special occasions and from the atmosphere, also business meetings. The food is pricey but delicious and surprisingly decent portions.

Great a round. Delivered on every level. Full to capacity at 200 covers but wasn't noisy hence the 4 not 5 star atmosphere rating. Perfect for a business lunch though so you can hear yourself think

Tasty food and professional staffs

The Pie Room itself isn't somewhere you can visit unless you are a group spending at least £1000. It's a private dining room. However, you can go to the adjoining Holborn Dining Room and order the pies. I wouldn't recommend that though - my experience at Holborn Dining Room was very poor value for money. Slow and overpriced with underwhelming food.

Pies are simply out of this world!

Truly the pie room .. elegant , old school , incredibly warm staff , and the food steps up

Beautiful place with very polite staff but food is mediocre at best. Most dishes were dry and tasteless. Can't recommend you can get tastier food in common pub. 3* purely for staff and environment.

Went out of our way to go here for lunch on a Saturday based on the reviews. Walked in and saw only about 4 tables were occupied. "Do you have a reservation?" "No." "Are you staying here?" "No." = No space for us. And from the attitude apparently very content to be sending potential customers away.

It has to be a fair review i try my best. This is what we ordered for lunch on a saturday, chicken pie, cornish crab tart, roast pork belly, fried prawn plus 2 side dishes, chips and broccali. The crab tart creamy filling tastes sour, so as the chicken pie. Maybe it should taste sour? The chicken mushroom pie i bought from M&S is much better. Roast pork belly is not very impressive. The best dish is the fried prawn. Chips and broccali are also good. Overall a bit disappointed for what we paid and expected.

Called last minute for a table for six and so glad we did. Warm and welcoming staff. Incredible gin and tonic specials and menu overall. Pea and mint soup was delicious as was the chicken salad. The Sunday beef was perfectly rare/med rare with lovely gravy. The chicken pie and the mutton pie were fantastic. No food photos, but have some gin.

Excellent place. Best pies we have ever eat. The service and atmosphere are excellent. We will be back before we leave London.

Excellent food great staff recommended 👌

Pretty good food. Terrible, slow, uninterested, service. Very high prices.

Fabulous breakfast!! The ham and cheese omelet was cooked to perfection and the croissant was super delicate. The orange juice was fresh, I probably could have drank a half gallon of it. I will definitely come back!
