Piecaramba! — Restaurant in Southampton

What a delightful find! My friend and I were looking for a place for dinner and I happened across Piecaramba! on Google. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in the right place. The decor is fantastic and fun, there are video games to play at a couple of the tables, and Simon greeted us and seated us, and continued to give us friendly and attentive service throughout the time we were there.

The menu is incredibly fun to read, with tons of punny names for the food and especially the drinks!

The food came out hot and incredibly delicious. I'm an American and my friend is British, and both of us were very impressed with the pies and sides we got! We both completely cleaned our plates, then ordered desserts and cleaned our plates again.

Meanwhile, Simon spent a bit of time having a friendly chat with us, and really made us feel welcome and wanted in this space!

I was only in Southampton for 2 nights, and my friend was only stopping in for an evening to visit me before she went back home. With all the choices I could have eaten at on my second day, I couldn't resist going back to Piecaramba! to try another pie - and again, it was utterly delicious, and Simon remembered me and gave the same friendly and attentive service.

I've been traveling for months, with Alaska being my home, and I've eaten at a lot of quirky and friendly places, but this has to be a favorite. If I'm ever back in Southampton, I have no doubts I'll find my way back again, and in the meantime I'll be recommending it to anyone who...

Very disappointed. I've made the mistake to believe the hype about this place. I love a good pie and I was excited to try a local place after hearing about the Winchester location. My expectations were too high however. We waited almost 30 minutes for our order to be taken because the front desk/only waitress was helping the only other staff member in the kitchen. The drinks and food arrived soon after. The beef pie was okay, not much to go wrong with microwaved frozen pies but the lamb one was so dry, it was basically sawdust. The reason I felt the need to leave this review was that despite us waiting for 40 minutes for the food and drinks and finishing everything in less than 10, the waitress approached us immediately to get us to pay. We refused at first, we hadn't even gone through half of our drinks and she said we can take our time. She came back 2 minutes later with the card machine asking how we're paying. I've never felt so forced to leave a restaurant by someone who was clearly hoping for an early night. Whoever is managing this place is at fault here, hiring two 20 year olds to run the restaurant by themselves is just a bad idea in general.

Tl;dr: Just buy a frozen pie from Iceland and then purposefully wait 40 mins to eat it. It'll be the same experience...

We decided to give it a go for my son's 15th birthday and the place didn't disappoint. Tucked away down one of the little side streets in Winchester piecarambe is a little hidden gem. When you walk in your greeted with vibrant and colourful decor all themed around movies and superheroes so every time you look around there's something different to catch your eye. The staff are friendly and the service is good. The menu is small but don't be decived by this and the choice of pies is plentyful. Food was on the table within twenty mins of being seated and the pies were absolutely fantastic. They seem to have mastered a completely gluten free menu and to be honest you wouldn't know the difference. The pies are deep filled and the pastry is beautiful. This is by no means fine dining but more reminiscent of an old school pie and mash shop from the 80s. To put it simply this is comfort food at its best and at a great price. Booking is strongly recommended if you plan to go there in the evening as it's a small venue. Complements to the staff for keeping on...
