Pieminister - Bristol

This was nothing like I was expecting it would be... and I don't mean that positively. Online it comes off as such a fun place, but what we walked into was a pretty rundown restaurant (and they'd only been open for a few months at that point) with dirty tables and floors, and servers who clearly didn't want to be working. They were nice enough, but they spent most of their time standing outside smoking. They have LOADS of clearly labeled vegan options, which is always appreciated. I got the Mothership: This Isn't A Chicken Bacon Pie with leeks and white wine, minty mushy peas, crispy onions, gravy, and mash. It was edible; just soooooooo much less flavorful than it should have been and could have been given its components. The pie was mostly crust with very little filling; the mash was also barely there compared to their marketing photos on social which make it seem like you're getting some enormous tower of delicious eats. The food was bland, the atmosphere was bland, the experience was bland. There are better pie and mash places in Bath!

Ambiance when enter establishment is full of RnB music lifting turns. Very Pub like. Covid sanitation when you enter so lots of Pies. PiePies with your basic ingredients such as free range chicken or Turkey with different adds depending on pie you order. Just a pie with gravy is $6 or you can order their selection of pies with two sides, beans, mashed peas, green peas or mash which is mashed potatoes between 9.5-0-11.00 quid. Wait staff is very attentive and kind. They were always checking on us and if we liked food or needed to order something else. Price is good for food and spirits. Bravo!

I bought one of the steak pies from my local supermarket and was very much looking forward to it, at I think about £6 I was expecting something special, the pastry and crusty top was delicious and there was plenty of flavour and filling, the disappointment was that most of the meat was pretty tough, these pies were a first for me but I've had more tender meat in pies that were half the price.

Nice pie restaurant on the high street but impossible to park. We had the mushroom vegetarian pie with cheesy mash and the Indian flavor vegetarian pie, the haloomi chips and finish with sticky toffee pudding. All the dishes were good but could have done with a little more pronounced flavors. Good portions and good service too. The desert though was amazing!

Foos is good, service very quick and overall it's cheap. It can be busy so it's better to have a plan B in mind when going there with friends
