Pieminister — Local services in London

Had the steak and Stilton. Was ok. Meat was tender but the Stilton flavour was too subtle in my opinion. If you like Stilton or blues in general, then you want to taste the funk!

The pie has shot to the the top of my pie list, it’s just soooooo comforting, warm and cheesy.

My partner is vegan and tried the Mooless Moo- She had to go to bed early because she was so happy. The price for one of these warm pockets of joy is unbelievably reasonable.

Just do it, get yourself under the arches and crack on, I will be returning and...
