A. G.

Really great pies with beautiful sides. Quick service and reasonable prices. Visited this place in Cardiff years ago on a mates stag do, and when I went back with my wife a few weeks ago, I had to take her. She's American and loved the "Britishness" of this place and loved her vegetarian pie. Strongly recommend going here!

D. P.

Have been coming to Pieminster regularly since moving to Cardiff and have not been disappointed yet. So much so that I even recommended it to my mother who was over from the US to visit me for a couple of weeks. Absolutely fantastic! I had the goats cheese and sweet potato pie and Mum had the chicken and tarragon. We both halfed our pies and shared, she was very happy and throughly enjoyed her meal! Food did take abit of time to get to the table but there were a fair few people ahead of us so it was no bother at all. Molly our host was very attentive and made us feel right at home. Great selection of beers and decor is cool too. Music was also very good. Can't find a bad thing to say rearly. I'm a meat eater but the vegetarian options are honestly my favourite! Thanks Pieminster for a lovely dinner! PIE ME!!

A. D.

Always had a great pie here. For a good price too. Menus are always having specials or new pies. Staff are excellent and they have a nice selection of beers. Been a loyal customer.

F. B.

Awesome meat pies. We are tourist from the states and just arrived into Cardiff. We were looking for some British food and meat pies is something I have recently fell in love with here. The meat pie had beef and bacon and a gravy boat. Our sides were tried were cheesy mashed potatoes, cheesy macaroni, salt and pepper onion rings. The onion rings were the best. Prices were alot lower than what we we're used to in London.

C. (.

Great, and I mean great, pies. Absolutely love the option for extra gravy. Will definitely be back!

K. R.

Literally the most delicious pies I've had in my life! Very best place in Cardiff to eat out!

S.

Had the vegan chicken pie and it was stunning!

T. E.

Lovely place, great food every time. Always friendly servers! Always excited to try the new pies they release. Lots of veggie options too!

M. W.

I love my pies!! This place didn't disappoint, I had the lamb and vegetable pie with the super loaded chips. So much food! The dessert was great as well.

L. W.

Loved this. Quirky little place with a pie infested theme, the pie I had was so scrumptious and the salted caramel milkshake was lush. Sure to pay another visit when in Cardiff again :)

L. I.

Excellent as always. Got the 'the feast' deal, seemed like a good, actually on saved 50p but it was still great value! Would recommend the sweet potato fries, halloumi sticks were amazing and the pieminister slaw was so flavoursome. Wouldn't recommend the skin on chips (more fries than chips), pies or pigs in blankets. Pig in blankets tasted like they were those 50 packet sausages for a pound. But that's being pretty harsh.

V.

Vegan dinner and a glass of white, perfect! Thank you Pieminister!

a. p. (.

I rarely write reviews but this place is more than worth it! Me and my partner went here for an anaversy lunch and it was perfect. The food was great, service was fast and friendly and the music was completely on point. Will definitely be coming back again and again.

L. C.

Wonderful idea, executed brilliantly. Friendly staff, great service, tasty food. Coleslaw was one of the best I've ever had and all for under £10 per person. Proper!!

J. S.

If you like a bit of pie and mash, this is the place to go! Great gluten free options too. Service at Christmas time was a little slow, but I'm sure it isn't always as busy.

T.

Pies were great, staff were friendly also had plenty of vegan options. Will visit again

s. p.

Excellent service and great food!

J. J.

I never knew I likes pies so much until I visited here!

T. D.

Great food and fantastic service, would recommend to everyone. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

C. B.

The staff is wonderful! They were really great with kids and the food was very delicious! I was particularly fond of the sweet potato fries and the dessert apple pie. Must eat here!

E. K.

Pies pies oh god more pies... Yes, I am not an Englishman. Nor Welsh... so wanted to experience "local" pies. I was not disappointed, good modern choices as well with tasty sides. Good cost-quality ratio!

M. R.

Service was quick, with the quality of the food faultless. Would definitely recommend. Such great value for money with a great range of meat, vegetarian and gluten free options.

N. G.

Really lovely food and chef - however the waitress wasn’t very communicative and was openly eating chips out of a bowl in the kitchen area that was then served to customers. We did wait a while for our food but they were very understaffed.

K. K.

Lovely place! Tasty food and decent service. Friendly as well. Would recommend.

C. R.

Wonderful food and good service on many visits, however on Mother's day I was told the restaurant was full booked so went in to get a take away only to find that it was completely empty! Member of staff then stumbled around giving me a straight answer to why I was told incorrect information. Very disappointed with this and will just take a chance and just walk in next time.

M. W.

Superb pies, beautifully presented. Good value. This would be a regular for me if I lived nearer.

G.

Friendly staff. Went on match day and were still incredibly efficient. Good vegetarian options and cider selection. Reasonably priced for the portions. Would recommend

J. A.

Lovely vegan and gluten free pies. Something for everyone.

L. V.

The food was delicious had the Black and Blue pie with coleslaw. Would definitely recommend eating here. In a great location in the middle of Cardiff.

J. O.

One of my favourite places to eat in Cardiff, come back here time and time again. The pies are excellent and you won't regret getting a side of mac and cheese.

A. P.

All round good experience. Great customer service from all involved. Food was so tasty. Ambience relaxed not too loud so comfortable. Would definitely go again and again.

I. D.

Beautiful food. Possible chain, but had the feel and taste of home cooked food. Cheap enough, set menus and choices are good and staff were on point

R. K.

Pies were good, gravys tasted artificial. Two Ciders were available, a dry one (draught) and a more sweeter one (bottled), very good. Service was very good. Recommended.

M. H.

Had a fabulous time at pieminister. Seated + ordered within 5 minutes, with drinks on the table! Food promptly arrived soon after & was delicious! Can certainly recommend the moo! Awesome little restaurant, quirky decor with really genuinely nice staff. Loved it!

P. P.

Not what I was expecting at all. After hearing rave reviews I was expecting phenomenal food & ultimately got a bog standard pie & chips. Good service & portions. Good selection of drinks too.

A. H.

Great pies,fantastic and quick service,Francesco the waiter was very efficient especially as we arrived at a busy time 😀would recommended and will be back again soon

G. B.

Novel idea of a pie shop. Good food at reasonable prices.

M. W.

Went as part of coeliac awareness week. Great place for gluten free, with a seperate menu, 3 different pies for coeliacs, and stocked a gluten free beer. Team were voted up re cross contamination.

P. S.

Loved this place! We went on a rugby game night so the town centre was really packed and the restaurant was really busy. Even then the staff were so nice and attentive to us. Food was yum!

M. S.

Good food, reasonable price. 2 for 1 on cocktails. Good service. Loses a star for trying a bit hard to have atmosphere.

M. S.

I normally love this place, but only 3 stars this time because my slaw had no sauce on it and my fries didn't seem to have any of the rosemary salt, however my friends did.

E. D.

Great service from Millie for bottomless brunch. Super friendly and attentive, we'll be back!

J. S.

Love Pieminister. Popped in for takeaway pies on my way home &, as usual, they were delicious!!

L. M.

Love a good pie, me. Their veggie and vegan options are exceptional. Go on Sunday for a fantastic roast.

P. X.

Nice food. Pies have a good size. They have options to match for example 1 pie+ 2 sides with discount, I think that works very well for the customers

J. M.

Really nice - does exactly what it says on the tin. Good Quality pies, nice chips and good selection of sides and plenty of gravy. Will definately return for another helping

C. G.

Faultless to be honest. Warm friendly welcome and service, nice clean and interesting setting, lovely food for a reasonable price and a nice draught IPA to wash it down with.

N. R.

Great grub in the centre of town, with a wide variety of pies, sides and drinks to suit most at a surprisingly inexpensive cost. Well worth a visit if you've not been before and fancy something different but that doesn't stray too far from what you know.

L. P.

Shame the menu has been greatly reduced. Food was still nice and a nice beer on tap.

g. s.

Yummy food, great service and very good value.

K. J.

Absolutely brilliant meal. Very busy so pick your times and avoid early evenings. Staff friendly and food great

M. T.

Well priced and delicious!!!!

J. D.

Good food, service was slow, slightly annoying to have couriers constantly coming in to collect food.

J. P.

I would live here if they would let me. The take away is sublime. I could live off The Mothership meals.

T. T.

You don't get loads for your money however the food is okay. The milkshakes are absolutely fantastic! Service was incredibly slow though which was the biggest negative for the place.

A.

We had an absolute awesome waitress who had a cracking pun for every pie. I don't know her name, but props to her. Pie was also good.

A.

Good choice of Vegetarian pies and they have a Vegan pie and Vegan mash which are both lush! Service was ok, decor nice and ice cream is delicious 🍦

L. D.

Nice pies 😋

M. T.

Great idea. We had 4 different pies, one vegetarian, they were all really tasty. Service was also good.

J. M.

Fabulous pies. Great vegan selection. Took a little long to be served, probably because it was a busy time.

E. v. B.

Great pie as always but the waiter Francesco who served me was great and made sure I got food in good time to catch my train. Thank you!

l. f.

Went on a rugby match day, so limited menu and drinks served in plastic cups.. Other than that, service and food was fantastic and quick considering how busy!!

P. M.

Amazing pies and a great selection of drinks too. If your in the city centre and you want some comfort food in a great location then go for it!

J. R.

More of a place to grab a quick bite before you go for a night out. Long wooden benches community look. Nice food and as you would expect good pies.

R. S.

Great outdoor service and the pies were amazing. Definitely will be going back.

E. M.

Delicious food and great service, our waiter Francesco was incredibly nice and helpful! Super recommended.

Not bad have had better Pastry a bit over done Fair pie for the price

R. B.

Excellent food and service and you should see the managers calves. Oosh

Really nice atmosphere and impeccable service. Amazing food, would highly recommend to anyone wanting a great, unique meal out.

P. P.

Great food, friendly staff. Shame they have no local lamb pie of some sort, but overall five stars!

B. K.

Who doesn't enjoy a good pie? Normally very good, however on my last visit every pie was overcooked and dry.

R. T.

Our first visit - good food and great service, 2-for-1 cocktails - what more do you want? Great value brunch and Sunday lunch options too.

T. F.

Good to be back. Quality food and service at very reasonable price.

Food was really nice and good value. Waiting staff weren't very attentive, or cohesive as a team.

My first visit to this chain. They serve very good pies. Not cheap but fair value.

Amazing. The staff, the food all of it

D. H.

If you like pie then this is the place for you! Very reasonable pricing and a selection that will keep you wanting to come back. I myself had the 'mothership' which consisted of a bed of mash, moo dog pie (braised beef, onion in brewdog 5am red ale) on top of the mash, minted peas on top of the pie, crispy onions on top of the peas and gravy to top it off!!! See the picture for the masterpiece this was!?

S. T.

Overall well priced, food was enjoyable and staff were friendly and helpful

Pie and mash/chips, nothing better. Lunch offer is perfect. Great for an afternoon in town.

A. P.

Wonderful staff, grate food.

J. W.

Very nice food, at standard prices very relaxed atmosphere, no rushing

N. A.

Lovely experience. I thought the food was excellent. I had the Heidi (Goats cheese) and cheesy mash, it was really tasty. Everyone in the party of 6 liked their meals too. Only downside was when we asked for the bill the guy seemed to be messing about and chuckling with other members of staff behind the bar before fetching it too us. We weren't in a rush so no huge deal - just seemed unprofessional.

I. A.

Great place, really lovely staff. My dog and I are always welcomed there.

R. I. R.

Very good pies, good price and I loved the Cornwall beer.

l. f.

Really friendly staff - they offered to go out of their way to make a special gravy for me as I was unable to have the standard one. Really appreciated it ♥️

J. D.

Not bad, but they need to sort their mash game out. I imagine most people want more than a thimble of mash with their pie.

R. W.

Absolutely brilliant, loved everything I ordered with speedy service too!

Came here as looking for somewhere to eat with gluten free options.. really pleased with the separate menu for gf as you feel like it will be taken seriously.

Will definitely be back to try the other pies!

Fine. Just fine. Nothing amazing, but not bad. The team are nice enough, the place could be a little cleaner, the food was alright. Didn't mind it once, unlikely to be returning. A perfectly fine choice if you've no other ideas and just wanna eat something. The cloudy lemonade was pretty nice.

d. t.

Basic pie and mash. Safe but not that special.

Reasonably good and affordable food.

Pie is life, this place is heaven

M. L.

Excellent food and service, and very reasonably priced. We are now big fans!!

J. D.

Not bad, but they need to sort their mash game out. I imagine most people want more than a thimble of mash with their pie.

T. W.

Good pie (Moo and Blue.) Handled booking for 12 with pre-order efficiently: good for works nights out.

Basic pie and mash. Safe but not that special.

L. O.

Was only in Cardiff for a week and went there twice. Highly recommend

C. B.

Delicious food at reasonable prices. I had the Kate and Sidney (steak-and-kidney) pie with mash and sticky toffee pudding. Delicious!

J. T.

Great customer service, very quick to get our orders in and for it to arrive! Overall a lovely experience :)

S. M.

Great hearty pie & mash. Friendly service and food was piping hot. Loved it!

А. Г.

Really good pies. Do not hesitate - just go and grab your pie. You will not regret.

D. H.

Wow! We were looking for a Welsh inspired spot and this hit the mark. Great taste and flavor. Great staff and helpful.

T. W.

A fantastic place to get food. I'm honestly not much of a pie person but this place has definitely changed my opinion! The food was gorgeous, served quickly (despite our large group size), and our servers were great at helping us out and were super nice and friendly. Would highly recommend.

C. D.

I enjoyed the Sunday best on top of the The Cracker with a salted caramel milkshake and everything was excellent! Staff were friendly and attentive and I liked the quiet but excellent choice of music.

C. F.

Incredible food and friendly staff. Always helpful when I order takeout. The one time I ate in was also a very nice experience.

J. T.

Loved the pies we had. Me and my partner at the beef and stilton pie with smokey beans and mash and was lovely! The prices were great and the staff were very friendly too - totally reccomend!

K. W.

Omg I just devoured the holy moly Kate &Sidney - hands down the best decision I made today. That was amaaaaaaaaziiiiiinnnnnggggg!!!!!

J. W.

Fantastic food, really great venue and staff were friendly. First but definitely not last time going here

C. H.

The food itself was amazing, must have chose a bad time to go though cus they’d ran out of a lot of the menu, for example no steak pies etc.

A. S.

Delicious festive pie with tasty gravy, lovely presentation too. Nice setting, staff friendly

M. L.

First time back in around 2 years. Food still spot on, staff great. Quick service, decent prices. Menu a bit smaller than I remember (not sure if it is, just felt it was), which was a shame, but would and will go back again.

C. L.

Does what it says on the tin, never blows me away, however it offers a consistently decent pie at a decent price.

M. H.

Pies were nice, lots of filling with a tasty pastry and a delicious gravy. I found the pie luxurious, like a hug from a old meaty friend. I will return to pieminister but give the mash a miss, just have a pie, it's what they are good at.....

K. G.

Nice selection of pies for which will surely warm you up on a cold and rainy day. Quick service and nice staff were nice as well. Simply, Pieminister gives customers a tasty and hearty meal for those on a budget.

R.

Ordered via a delivery app. Food was tasty, my partner had a pie and I had the chipotle patties. Only complaint was that was two patties for £5 on the take out app but restaurant only sent one, so ended up as hungry as I started. £5 for a singular patty smaller than the palm of my hand is a bit of a rip off, especially when it’s 3 for £5 in store.

B.

Great food and a great atmosphere. Went after a rugby match and didn't have to wait to long for food and service was brilliant.

I. A.

Tasty pies. You should try their own brand ale.

S.

The nice young lady with the green hair was really lovely, kind and patient with us despite being very busy. The sticky toffee pudding and the ice cream was amazing - best I've ever had. The ice cream was like a vanilla custard texture and oh so delicious! Thanks for your excellent service lovely green lady!

M. S.

Great gluten free pie. I had the 'moo' which is a steak pie with mash and peas. Also thrown in pigs and blankets on a stick and halloumi sticks which were a nice addition.

S. E.

Amazing food and amazing staff 5* for sure

R. K.

Delicious pies with plenty of 'sides' to choose from. One of my favourite places.

D.

Great food and a good experience! @doubledippindeb

t. f.

great food and lager. good service

C. L.

Amazing pies. Could do with my gluten free sides and pies. Could do with more interaction from staff!

A.

If you're looking for something a bit different then this place is great. You might think eating out in a pie place sounds a bit "heavy" but the pies are actually quite small. All of the food is quite small. Prices for food are reasonable though and the quality is really nice although drinks prices are about average for a restaurant . Service is excellent. We had a friend with us that turned up late and was a little flustered and I felt they came across as a little rude to the staff but they still went out of their way for her and were great (I did call her out on it btw). They have a decent range, from fancy stuff I wouldn't personally go for, to your normal steak and kidney etc. There's veggie and gluten free stuff too. They were out of rosemary fries on the day I went which was devastating but forgivable I guess. The atmosphere was nice, there was a large rowdy group but they were put out of the way downstairs. Toilets were great. All separate standalone gender non specific toilets instead of male and female communal bodily function spaces. Love this place.

A. L.

Super yummy! Great vegan and veggie options along with meat. Nice drinks too. Definitely recommend :)

D. G.

Wow, what can I say, stunning food, great service, no more to say.

E. A.

Good food. Reasonable price and 2 for 1 cocktails. Only lost a star as we were near the door and they kept it open so we had the draft and it was a bit chilly. But despite that we would definitely go back for more pies when we visit Cardiff again!!

S. H.

I really enjoyed my visit here, the staff are friendly and helpful and very attentive, the Vegan lie I had was really nice helped by the gravy it came with, I enjoyed the mash and while the mushy peas were hot and tasty ibfelt the serving was a tad small. I had a house later which had an unusual taste but I enjoyed it. Great decor and seemed very popular with a younger crowd. Prices are reasonable and service was quick.

R. C. H.

Super place glad I found it - good service, great music and nice atmosphere.

J. H.

Tasty pies, but a little disappointed they have removed the skillets which were a non-pastry alternative. Always a bit of a wait with a large table as it's a small kitchen

R. P.

Tasty as pies with great selection of meat, veggie and vegan with gluten free options too. Sides are good though found caramelised onion a little too sweet for my taste but that's just me. Otherwise loved it! Good value for money and deliver too though often wish delivered a little later! Very nice place to visit for a casual meal and well placed in the city centre. Can guarantee multiple visits after trying it!

p. t.

Pieminister is great. They do a few things and do them well. You're out of luck if you want a range of desserts but if you want stonking quality pies this is the place for you. Best option seems to be a pie and two side dishes for 9 quid. My preference is the blue moo but there's something for everyone here. Service is a little slow but the pies are worth it.

J. C.

Great place for some great food. Never fails to impress. The press are fabulous. Of you enjoy a good or then this is the place to go. My 17 yr of is a first Easter and she loved the Heidi (goats cheese and veg pie). A regular family restaurant for us.

T. B.

If you just want good food at a reasonable price then this could be the place for you. They cater for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. Food was quick to arrive and tasted great. Staff were friendly and helpful. I had the Heidi pie with cheesy mash and minty mushy peas followed by cherry pie sundae. Good portions and delicious. This place is easy going but provides good food and good service.

S. P.

Best pie I've ever had! Pies are smaller than you'd expect, but paired with a hefty portion of fries, gravy and mushy peas it really hits the spot. Comfort food done well without breaking the bank.

T. S.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. I had a mother ship which was a Moo & Blue pie topped with minted mushy peas, crispy onions sat in a bed of mash potato with grave. One of the best pies I've had. The service was great. It's in a very central location in Cardiff so easy to find. Would highly recommend.

S. K.

it’s hit and miss. The first time I went, everything was great. The second visit wasn’t so good... The gravy tasted quite bitter, the onion rings were a bit greasy and the pie was bland. Service has been good both times though!

J. B.

The pies are great and for the four of us including drinks was £60

T. H.

I only got a pie to take away. The bar looked nice but I'm just reviewing the food. The mushroom pie was pretty good. Great pastry, filling a little tasteless though. Peas were nice though too salty for me. My main concern is that it was all a bit expensive (£7.50 for pie and peas) considering I got it as a takeaway. Would have been a reasonable price for a sit-down meal, I suppose, though a little mediocre.

J. K.

The food was top notch, but a bit on the expensive side and service was very slow. That said the staff were really friendly which mitigated some of the slow service. We were a fairly large group, but before our desserts had even arrived we were being told that we would need to be quick as they needed the tables. Perhaps we should have been told there was a time limit at the time of booking?

M. M.

Top notch customer service. Plenty of vegetarian options, and the pricing is very fair. Our server (I want to say his name was Nick?) was brilliant - very attentive and genuinely funny. Big fan of Friday night dinner and a cocktail expert! Highly recommend!

I. T.

Great tasting pie (free ranger with mash and gravy), very friendly service and nice to sit outside! Mint peas were maybe a little sweet in my opinion but weren't bad. Would highly recommend!

T. M.

Good service and nice food. Appreciated the Gluten Free options too ❤️

A. C.

Great pies. Nice beer Its got the pies the local hipsters had only dreamed of. A great selection, even for the vegetarians. And they taste great at a pretty reasonable price considering the location. The beer selection could do with a few more choices though, but its good enough, its not meant to be a bar

P. J.

Great pies and sundaes at a good price. Highly recommend.

V. P.

Pleasant experience at Pirminister in Cardiff! We went on a Sunday evening and we found out there was a special "Sunday roast" menu and we just few pounds extra we managed eat a nice meal still including the classic pie but with the Sunday roast twist! Very happy about it and we left absolutely full!

M. B.

Good food and a good location. Some unusual combinations of pie, but something to suit everyone's taste. I personally wouldn't recommend the mac & cheese, couldn't make out whether it was blue cheese or very garlicky. Additionally, the wait for food to come out was long considering how quiet it was on the evening.

l. b.

Good quick friendly staff. Pie and mash really hit the spot and prices good as well.

E. W.

Service is lovely. And the food is amazing.

P. J.

Great service and lovely food what more do you want .

P. G.

Nice tasty grub, had the Fungi chicken pie frys n beans. Pie was very tasty but didn't taste homemade? Frys were loverly and the smokey beans didn't really taste that smokey probably cos ther was only a table spoon full of then. Nice decor and I must say reasonable good price 👍

k. w.

Enjoyed a moo & blue pie, mash & peas, very good service.

L. P.

Loved it can't wait to go again🤗

E. F.

I stumbled across this by accident but what a find. I went for the chicken of aragon with mashed potato and garden peas. It even came with a small gravy boat. Not huge amount of food but it was enough for me. £8.95 which I thought was good value and the food was delicious and was served hot!

C. P.

Great food, excellent service and decent value too. The manager had been let down by staff when we visited for lunch so warned that service could be slow - he needn't have! Very attentive and quick and really enjoyed the food

C. “. S.

Food was delicious and the staff were lovely. 2 for 1 cocktails were great too and all very reasonably priced.

K. F.

Pieminster, Cardiff - caters for vegans, veggies and gluten free. I had the vegan Mothership Evergreen, followed by the Pecan Pie ice cream - both delicious. Great food and great service; nothing too much trouble. Would definitely return.

D. K.

Just really good food and a nice atmosphere! Staff were really friendly too. Definitely going back!

G. M.

I enjoyed a lovely meal and service with my girlfriend who is vegetarian, her pie was absolutely full to the brim and the presentation stunning, I had the steak and kidney on a bed of mash potato and trimmings. Very reasonable prices, lovely service and outstanding menu bursting with flavours.

S. H.

This is a fantastic place to eat. So much choice...had real problem choosing. Pies were delicious. Staff friendly and polite. Would go again.

J. H.

Being gluten free I find it hard to find good food that isn't overly prices, so I was delighted to hear about pieministers gluten free takeaway menu. I had the steak and ale pie and it was amazing my only complaints are that the bottom of the pie was stuck to the paper in the takeaway box so i was unable to eat tue bottom of the pastry and the pie itself could of been bigger but over all a good experience, would definitely recommend to anyone that's gluten free.

K. L.

Outstanding presentation and delish pies. The pie pastry was perfectly crunchy but all the while delicate. Piping hot with immense flavour. The second visit in 6 months. Will be sure to return in January.

J. K.

Lovely food! Can't wait till my next visit! Also the best lager in the world! ;)

M. S.

I don't really write reviews but after today's visit I think it would be something of a disservice not to. I went for lunch with my wife and the food was absolutely wonderful. The staff were perfect. Very friendly, helpful and professional. They were attentive but in no way intrusive or overbearing. I can easily see this becoming a regular haunt!

L. K. B.

The food was excellent and the staff did their best. Unfortunately, management have made assumptions about their customers. No where does the menu or any signage state that all types of gravy are made with alcohol. One of our party doesn't like food with alcohol in it and was told there was no alternative, so had no gravy. If a recovering alcoholic had eaten the gravy without knowing there was alcohol in it, the consequences could have been dire, for the customer and the restaurant. The assumption seems to be that all the customers will be people who can and will eat anything. Suggestion: Print all ingredients clearly on the menu please!

Y. M. K.

Was craving for a pie, so naturally we ended up in Pie Minister. Despite being located at a busy street in Cardiff and the place being busy on a Halloween night it was not noisy in the restaurant. We enjoyed a comfortable and stomach-filling diner. The pies were super yum and the service friendly and chill. *both thumbs up*

O. W.

Pies were lovely although service left us feeling a bit rushed. We were billed as soon as we finished our plates and hadn't even finished our drinks. I would understand if it was busy however there were 5 + tables free. Felt like they wanted us out which isn't great considering it was Valentine's and we had pre booked.

M. W.

Went here for something different, usually a burger and chips type of guy. Absolutely loved it rich in flavour. Highly recommended.
