Ye Olde Pie & Sausage Shoppe in York

Spotted this during a visit to the Shambles and how glad i was that i stopped by. Fantastic range of pies, sausage rolls, pasties etc, wonderful customer service and very good value for money. lovely authentic little pie shop! Wish i could take them all back to France with me for my family and friends to enjoy!

Superb homemade pies - choose from a wide selection of amazing pies on display in the window. I got three for about £8 - pulled pork & apple, game pie, ploughman’s. Couldn’t tell you which one I preferred - each one was amazing. Find a spot round the corner in the square or the market to eat them away from the crowded Shambles street. These pies are sold out of the window by the people that made them - you don’t see that much anymore. Amazing 👍

Clashed with the owner today morning. Made pics In front of the entrance to his shop to make a pic of the shambles. The guy stopped with his car were i stood making pics and blocked me doing my thing. I asked him to move the delivery car one more meter so we could both do our thing. The guy refused to do so and was not very friendly or helpful at all. Thats why i give 0 stars to his business because i think such behaviour is no good

We picked up Cornish Pasties (one traditional shortcrust pastry, one flaky pastry). Both were delicious, great fillings. We also had the Toulouse Sausage rolls - very garlicky, which is exactly as it should be, with lovely herbs. Lastly, the pork pie is one of the best I have ever had. It was a delight to find that a pie shop on such a busy tourist street delivers in the best possible way. Great value too!

A must visit if you are ever in York, in fact it’s worth visiting York just for one, or potentially 5, of their delicious pies. I’d have taken a photo of the wild boar pie I just enjoyed, but I was too busy eating it.

Fantastic pie shop! The service here is always excellent and the staff members are so lovely, they have a wonderful variety of pasties and pies, also very good value for money! I am always recommending this pie shop and will continue to be a customer! thank you :)

I’ve tried the Plougmans pie. It was absolutely amazing! Loved it!

Wished could've tried everything. Got the Scotch, Chicken and leek, and York Egg. Freaking AMAZING. See you again in September you delicious piece of heaven.

I recommend the wild boar pie. I never had such a good home made pie before.

On a previous trip to York & a wander down The Shambles I had chanced into this small pie shop. On that visit the York Egg caught my attention, so I tried one. It proved to be a good choice. A return visit to the the centre of York & another trip around the Shambles meant a return visit was necessary to make sure the York Egg was still available, and was as good as I remembered. It was. Hang the expense, I bought TWO..! (Joking, as they are only £3 - which is well on par with some of the more standard supermarket Scotch Egg versions - but with the York Egg you have a much better product) Still have one of the two that I purchased yesterday - so the plan to experience this one is as a part accompaniment with chips or roast potatoes, or ??? With the addition of a decent mayonnaise or another sauce I imagine it could be even better - maybe Dijon mustard would be the magic extra?

If you ramble a scramble through the shambles, you better make a pitstop here for the pies, and that's a gamble you can take anytime without any preamble. Now that I've gotten that out of the system, beautiful pies, probably in my all time top 3. I tried their black pudding and chili pork pies. Both excellent. The filling is hefty, the casing is very crisp, and the overall taste is solid. They also take care of the hunger pretty well. If you can get to a pie early, nothing like it, they are wonderful when hot. Things can run out during the later stages of the day. You can also get different types of sausage rolls, and yorkshire eggs, all of which sound like excellent snacking. It's takeaway and the whole area stays very crowded, but this is absolutely worth it, go for it.

sausage roll is good. recommend the spicy one if you can take it. They can heat it up for you (sometimes)

OMG The best pork pies ever! I am a pork pie connoisseur, been everywhere tasting pork pies, most are average to poor but these are the very best and definitely 5star. Highly recommended. Buy more than one you will not regret it. Update 09/07/2024 I’ve been again, it’s exactly the same. The pork pies are incredibly amazing they stand as an education to others on how to make THE BEST pork pie in the world. *note* the shop opens at 9am and closes at 3pm, don’t be late.

Thank you for the best pies and the most delicious brownie i have ever tasted. Fantastic shop and great service.

We tried the traditional Pastry and we enjoyed it. Has a good amount of fillings.

Bought some pies. They were great.

A top place, the Shambles sausages are the best we’ve had in a while. When we are in York we will always pop along for a re supply. Opposite the Ghost Merchants so easy to find.

We tried 6 different pies and 2 Scotch eggs and we threw away a lot. None of our group liked it and we are really not picky eaters. Nowhere on our holiday did we get pie that we enjoyed so little. Unfortunately, it looked nice.

I bought some pork pies today and as a connoisseur of pork pies (and yes I have tried 1000’s) these are the absolute top. Thin crispy flavoursome pastry, moist meat and jelly, good level of fill, perfect seasoning. Brace youself for an experience, pie meister or not. I will find away in my life to order these online

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR PORK PIES! we have been coming to York for many years and always call in for Pork Pies they were always full of good meat and the pastry was crips and thin. But now the pastry is thick and doughy like bread meat has lumps of fat and is tasteless, please go back to your original recipe. Also the Parkin has changed I know everything nowadays has changed but same again please go back to your original recipe.

Visited your shop today in York and bought a delicious Steak and Ale Pie. Light, crispy pastry, large chunks of tender, flavoursome steak in a tasty ale gravy. Value for money, and the nicest pie I have eaten in such a long time! I Would strongly advise/recommend that everyone tries one of these. Lots of other mouthwatering options available that I haven't tried yet, but would love to. Thank you! 😊

Terrible! Meat in steak pie was tender but it had zero flavor. The crust was under cooked too. Edit: the steak pie served on the airplane was 100x better than this one, lol. That tells you how bad this was. York scotch egg was super greasy and had a terrible off flavor, we tossed it.

Pulled pork and apple pies were the best we have ever tasted. Only got two to try on our travels and now feel so sad we will not have them again! We even checked the website hoping you would sell online 😩

My partner and I came here to take some goods home. We got the scotch egg, a traditional pork pie, the wild boar pie and a sausage roll. When I tell you we wish we bought the whole shop to take home... Absolutely incredible. Pies full of flavour, generous portions of meat, beautiful pastry. When we come back to York we definitely will be back here!!! I was expecting to pay higher than £9 for all of these items but to our delight it didn't! Definitely great value for money. Super friendly service too. Yum!🤤🥰

Fantastic juicy pork pies - the best pork pies I have ever tasted. We were only in York for one night and bought 1 on the Sunday and 2 on the Monday they were so good.

Outstanding pies. Went back for more

One of the best pork pie ive tasted full of meat and the pastry so crisp and believe me ive tried a few pork pies in my time and a decent price £2 for a good size pie and all the other products looked good as well but only had the pork pies .

The char sui pork pies are brilliant.

Best pasty I have ever eaten. Lovely little place.

Best (pulled beef) pie I tried so far!

Scrumptious... What more can be said. Super service and tasty pies.

Can't quite believe what I've eaten - had to leave a review because this had to be one of the best made steak & ale pies we've ever had. Absolutely crammed with steak, to the point where I'm surprised they manage to fit the pastry over it! The steak melted in the mouth and heated brilliantly in the oven for dinner. The pastry was also super light. Hats off to them for not scrimping in this day and age. Staff were lovely and punctual and prices in no way inflated simply due to being in a tourist hot spot. Excellent value for money. The pork pie was also filled with incredibly high quality meat. A testament to the shambles, one of Britain's most historic streets that was once lined with butchers, now they're the only merchant left that relates to that history and they're paying one heck of a tribute 👏

As a York resident we often get a medium pork pie here, as they are the best "home made style" pork pies in the area, but they have always been priced a bit high. On a recent visit was alarmed to find that the £5 medium pork pie is now priced at £6 - a 20% increase for 2024. The pies are always great, with a nice crunchy pastry, are well filled with large chunks of moist meat - however the latest one we had at £6 was dark, overcooked and had some lumps of gristle in. Now at £6 for the medium size they have priced themselves out of our market, and we will not be going back there so often now. Great pitty - good product but too high priced - a lost customer !

We were told about this place ahead of our visit to York and it did not disappoint! Sausage rolls really tasty and just what we wanted. Took some traditional pork pies that smelled delicious and when we got home tasted even better, crust with just the right amount of crunch with a very tasty filling!

What can I say ..... excellent.

Having worked in a butchers shop that had an adjoined bakers, and having gone to Cornwall many times, I was amazed by the 'Traditional' pasty here. The gravy was so thick and tasty, and the pastry was spot on. Best pasty I've ever had & the pork pie was up there too - definitely coming back whenever I'm in York

Brilliant staff nothing was too much for them. So refreshing! Fantastic pies, stuffing scotch egg thing!!

Pork pie experts! Lovely people work here too.

Such a shame that excess salt ruined what was potentially a very good pork pie

Just outstanding, had numerous pies from here, but what stood out for me was the York egg, stood waiting to get into the ghost shop, eating one of these and a cider from next door, life couldn't get any better, plus it was the hottest day on record, just perfect.

We have always liked the chilli pork pies here & have always made a point to visit when we are in York. Not sure whether it's still the same owners/ shop as the name has the changed. We got the 3 chilli pork pies left (£2.20 each) & had them immediately! The filling of the pie was tasty with the right level of spice but the pastry was a tad too hard! Overall, glad we had them again though not sure they were as good as previous visits.

The best pork pie I've ever had by an absolute mile. The chicken and steak ones were different league too. Had the beef and marmalade the other day, outstanding 👏👏👏

Thoroughly enjoyed our pies. Sat down around the corner in the Shambles Market

Needs a Michelin Star! We bought a couple of pasties and a fat toulouse sausage roll. WOW! The pasties were even better than those from St Ives, beautiful pastry, packed with flavour - can't praise them enough! And the sausage roll was totally intense!!! We went back for seconds, but had sold out, so bought a couple of the ordinary sausage rolls, and steak pies which we had back in the hotel - the pies in particular were also breath taking in their delicious steak packed wholesomeness - not a pick of grizzle, and so full of tender meat, there was hardly any room for the gravy. It would be worth going back to York, just for the grub from this little shop!

The worst pork pie I’ve ever had…As salty as a cheese but very bad smell for the pork meat. Really horrible experience and we threw the pies away after our second bites :( Medium pork pie £5 Apple and pork pie £2.2

Amazing pies/sausage rolls! Highly recommended and not overpriced

Best Pork Pies … in the world Very friendly staff

Truly exceptional pies. We shared the wild boar (very rich), beef and onion, pulled pork and apple, and char siu pork (my favourite). The shortcrust pastry is amazing. We got a little bit of cheese from the deli around the corner to pair with them which I can also highly recommend

Great pies. We especially liked the wild boar and char siu ones. However we were charged 4 pounds too much..we got our money back but I find this unacceptable.

Must go back here for the York egg !! Amazing!

Had a sausage roll and traditional pasty (my firsts ever!) and they were excellent, fresh, piping hot. Great value. Will definitely return again!

Does exactly what you would expect. A lovely range of pies - we bought some for dinner.

Best pies I’ve ever tasted! We got 4pies and a stuffing ball wrapped with bacon and only came to £10. Very friendly staff.

OMG! The stuff this little shop sells is so good. I bought pork pies, pasties and savoury duck. Honestly it was fantastic. We journeyed back home to Scotland and ate the pies on the way home. The pasties were lunch the next day and the ducks were for tea the mext night. Everything was 10/10. So much so I can't wait to go back

Happened upon this while waiting for the ghost merchants. We had the chorizo sausage roll and the shambles mustard & sage sausage roll. Absolutely stunning! So well seasoned and spiced, the amount of meat was great. 100% recommend and we ate them so quickly we didn't get a picture of them!

Stopped here along the shambles for a quick snack. Was going to get a pork pie but then saw a monstrous creation called a York egg. Boiled egg,wrapped in delicious sausage near, then wrapped in bacon! A heavenly combo! And honestly the best food item I've ever eaten. Will deffo be back to get more here

The York egg is a must try along with the pork pie and the sausage rolls are a great option. Super friendly staff!

Possibly some of the best sausage meat I have tried in the Uk ever. Definitely worth a visit when walking around York

Amazing savoury and sweet treats! Staff are friendly too!

You know when a place is good when a queue is outside the shop. The pork pies are the best I've tasted and the steak pies are great.

While queuing for the Ghost store opposite, we bumped into this shop. The food tastes delicious and not so expensive. It would be perfect If they can put the food a paper cup for customer who wants to try immediately instead of wrapping the food in the plastic bag.

Any time in town I always call here the food is always first class.I normally get at least a sausage roll a traditional pasty and a pork pie and sometimes all 3

I was there yesterday and wanted to finally try some authentic pies. The guy there was very polite nice and helpful. He gave me some options since i had no idea of which i would want. He gave me recommendations and I bought two. They were amazing! Very yummy indeed. Strong meat and spices flavor. I highly recommend and I hope I’ll be back one day

Delicious pies and the best Parkin I've ever tasted!

Very nice cold pies! We got the ploughmans pie, black pudding pork and a vegetarian mushroom stroganoff pie. They were very good, and the portions were perfect. There’s no place to sit inside, but it’s a perfect bite to grab on the go!

I last praised this business in 2020 as having the best pork pies and sausage rolls I'd ever tasted and, even though a wider range is now offered, these basic essentials are still wonderful. On top of that the Manager/owner and the staff are delightful and do not appear fazed by the endless tourists queueing opposite their shop in the Shambles for what appear to be wax models!

The best pork pie I’ve ever had. Sausage rolls both large and small were also fab.

Excellent Pork pies to suit any taste!

I was at Drakes and I had a steak pie and I absolutely loved it I asked them who is your pie supplier and they told me they get them from here. It was a challenge finding them in stock as they go quicky. (Doesn't surprise me as they are lovely) but today I got lucky and got 2 of them. Just had one now and wow exactly like I have it at drakes. Absolutely love this best pie shop around. 5 star reviews are VERY rare and hard to get from me!

Everytime we come to York we HAVE to get several pork pies from this shop! I have never tasted pork pies like them from anywhere. LOVE them!

I never knew pies could taste this good!

Their York Egg was soooooooo good!! Must try!!

Best pork pies I've ever tasted. Great place to pick up some pastries

We were hungry after some shopping so bought some scotch mince pie and Toulouse sausage roll. The pie crust/skin was just the right consistency, the meat very flavourful. Go and grab one!

I am lost for words, the filling so hot and tasty with all those fresh veggies, the shortcrust pastry that adds a little sweetness and leaves you filling full and contented. How they sell these so cheaply, I do not know.

Amazing York eggs we came twice in our 3 days trip because it was so excellent. Also the staff offered to cut it in half as we were two eating the same egg. I recommand the place.

Friendly and super nice staff, went back to get a pie they sold out, which they saved for me. Food was definitely worth a try!

Quite possibly the greatest food I ate the entire trip throughout the U.K. I'm saddened by the fact that I can't eat it again anytime soon, since I live in the U.S. The employees gave me two excellent recommendations, the traditional pork pie, as well as a pork and apple pie, and I can't decide which one I loved more. Savory flavors, flaky crusts, and delicious hot or cold. Just incredible. Be sure to visit early as they often sell out by the afternoon. I will be returning one day for more of these incredible local pies.

The chilli pork pay is outrageously good, I stopped halfway through my first one to grab more before they closed. Char Sui and pork belly great too. Thanks again for a life changing pie!

Major let down, hard to mess up but they serve the worst pie we have ever had. The sausage roll was served cold. And the piece crust is flat and greasy, not flaky. And get this, they charge you for a fork ! What restaurant in the world charges you for utensils to eat the food you just paid for ?? Avoid

Great shop but you do need to buy early ,sells out

One word. Boar. The Boar 🐗 pie is where it was at! One of tastiest first byte ever! Bought at one of the quaintest streets in medieval England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Eaten at King’s Square in lovely York 🇬🇧 to seal the deal. Transporting one to another time!

I had a lovely chat about "eel-pie" which they did not have but I had an amazing all-meat minced pie...and it looked all like in a fairy tale and tasted exquisit

The best pies I've ever had. The crust was thin and crisp and the fillings were flavourful and moist. Just perfection.

I never post reviews but honestly this place has my heart (and my wallet lol). Its not lightly I say that they have the best sausage rolls, pasties and pies that I've ever tasted, and the prices are unbeatable! Every single member of staff I've seen has been amazingly friendly and happy (and with the amount of times I've visited I must've seen them all by now lol), and even when theres a small queue they work through it quickly and efficiently. Would 100% recommend, a must visit for any tourist or local!

Chorizo sausage roll ❤️👌 Proper nice spicy kick afterburn and really good size. Good value for money.

We purchased a couple of pies here, but only 1 out of 2 were good. We purchased the wild bore pie and the macaroni & cheese pie. The macaroni & cheese was delicious, but the wild bore was very salty and extremely greasy, and after one bite we threw it away. I’d say give it a try and hopefully you’ll have better luck than us.

We left York yesterday but before we left we purchased a large pork pie from yourselves. I am distraught; as a lover of pork pies, and I have sampled many; yours in my humble opinion is the best and most tasty pork pie I can recall eating. Distraught that I only purchased one and distraught that I live so far away. Thank you; the pleasure was literally all mine.

Great range of very traditional pies, perfect to munch on while journeying through the York Shambles.

After seeing a YouTube for this place we made a bee-line for the pie shop. There was a bit of a queue but the service was quick and the short wait allowed us to decide on the pies. We ordered a ploughman's with cheese on the top, a Mac & cheese and BBQ pulled pork. They were all really tasty and not too expensive. My son said it was the best pie he'd ever had - praise indeed 👍

As my expanding waistline can attest, I am a fan of pies and am happy to report that these savoury treats do not disappoint. Amazing quality, great taste and very reasonably priced given just how tasty their offerings are! Their variation of the scotch egg in particular is a real treat, exchanging bland breadcrumbs (which generally go everywhere) for slices of bacon (which hold the York Egg together well). Definitely worth a visit.

Visited yesterday, 3/8/22, had two of the traditional pork pies. They were absolutely fantastic, so tasty and perfectly moist. Best I've ever had. Staff were friendly and accommodating too. Word of advice get there early to avoid dissapointment.

Probably would have been nice if they hadn't given me the wrong pie. I ordered a char sui pie but they gave me a chilli pie, which I wasnt able to eat due to being allergic to chillies. When I gave them the pie back and pointed out they had given me to wrong one they didn't even apologize for the mistake.

They say a decent pastie should be made with little chunks of beef and not mince beef but these pasties are excellent easily among best ive ever tasted. Short crust pastry just right and and absolutely cramped with filling . And very good value to! Toulose sausage rolls also very good.

The best and tastiest pasties I've ever had. Great flavour, high meat content but with enough veg to add texture and keep moisture. Ruined all other parties for me! At £2 a pastie it's a brilliant warm lunch.

The best pies 🥧 I’ve ever had. The chilli pork pie is the best.

We really enjoyed the sausage roll, and my partner enjoyed his steak and ale pie, but i thought the mac n cheese pie was quite dry and flavourless. I’d definitely order the sausage roll again!

Super duper good pork pies! Great find on the side of an alley, happy traveller!

Tried two of their pork pies - regular and black pudding. Amazing.

The best ever cornish pasty I have ever had, will never go to a chain again. Very friendly service. A must visit
