Service was excellent. Advised staff of lack of toilet paper in the ladies loo. She immediately rectified this. Was disappointed to find that there was only 1 gluten free option. It was very tasty but where was no GF pie as they had problems with their GF pastry. Ale was superb. Well kept and delicious.

Great place, pies to die for, loved it all, just slightly tainted by a bunch of male blinkered testerone filled arseholes! But they will not stop us going back to again. Well done the staff for doing their best.

Food was lovely but I expected the ale to be part of the price of the meal. A spoonful of peas wouldn’t go amiss either. If that was all included, then top marks. Other than that enjoyable experience.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. The pies they serve are amazing and there is a great choice of beer. Allow a little time to get your pie but it's worth the wait. Amazing!

Good pies, obviously but also good service. Got there early around 13so we’re firs ones in but was getting busier by the time we left around 2pm. Would go again and have the chicken tikka next time but the gravy in the steak and ale pie that I had was great.

We visited Pie & Ale as a mixed age group of women (from 26 to 65) and all left delighted with our experience. The food was fantastic, the drinks were very nice and the atmosphere was great. There was really something to everyone, and great to see 3 vegan options on the menu! Very attentive staff who were only to happy to cater to our every need. We will definitely return!

The flavours are brilliant, have been here many times and always appreciate the quality of the ingredients, definitely too much pastry; making the price a little steep. Waiting time always 40-50 mins so time for a few ales. Not a comfy environment, always cold and noisy but it's part of the English/pub experience.

Good selection of pies. Our party of 4 were all vegetarian and all found a pie we enjoyed. The only puddings were pastry based as well. Would have been nice but we'd had enough pastry. Staff were friendly. I would recommend it.

My party of 6 had a table booked for 7pm. The restaurant was very busy which is always a good sign but once our order was taken it took an hour for the food to arrive ! We also had to keep asking for someone to take more drinks orders as no one came to the table ! The food was great when it arrived just a shame the service wasn’t up to scratch
