Putney Pies

It's our second visit in a space of less than two months. We also don't live too far away. However in both visits, this place has been top drawer. The staffs are incredibly amazing. Ever smiling and so very lovely. I ordered for a traditional pie, chicken, mushrooms, leaks and something else I cannot quite remember with mushrooms and gravey, my wife ordered cottage pie in a mug and our six years old ordered a fish cakes with chips and all came out Woww 👌

Ordered two pies, mine was great (Steak and Ale) but my partner's pie (Vegan Pot Pie) was very disappointing - for £19 we were surprised at the bowl of roasted vegetables that was served up. We at least expected an actual pie! We can't understand how this bowl of veg was more expensive than the Steak and Ale pie which came with salad and gravy. The chips were quite nice but for £11 we expected more than some lightly flavoured french fries.

I never really visit pie restaurants but after this place I'll make my effort to eat more pies. This place made excellent pies, whilst a bit expensive, it was really good. I highly recommend (the toughly pronounced) beef bouningon in short crust pasty case. The beef was so tender! The mini scotch eggs we delicious too. Unfortunately the cheesy fries felt a bit short. It was tasty for a while but the cheese felt a bit too crunchy. But I'd be down to try it again. The atmosphere there had an old tradition furnishing but the vibe was very modern with pop/modern music playing in the background. One thing that caught my eye was the painting on the wall which were able for purchasing which I liked! It seems as though they rotate which artist has their temporary art gallery.

First time trying Putney Pies. The pies were each cooked to perfection. However, almost £19 for a pie and mash did feel a little too expensive.

This place is truly a surprise! The front of the store looks like an intimate, small restaurant - but the bottom floor is a huge underground tunnel with cool music and pub atmosphere. The food was great, plenty of vegetarian options. Staff were super nice 👌 Please pay a visit when you can!

What an amazing venue with a vault that goes right under the road and onto the river embankment. While they do serve ‘Pies’ which marks their humble beginnings this establishment should not be mistaken for a restaurant. This is a mistake I made and while it feels harsh to punish them for my error, I think it is understandable given the confusing name and exterior décor. It is millennials bar and club. The music volume is well above the comfortable level of being able to hold a conversation, the lighting barely adequate to read a menu and the staff pay lip service to the concept of diners but still charge you 12.5% service for treating you like an inconvenience to their social lives. The pies are top quality but they should be at £20 each for a 12cm diameter pastry. The accompanying mash or fries do not live up the same standard. The drinks cost more than they should at £6 for pint of tap lager.

This is actually the best shepherds pie I’ve had in London so far. The meat doesn’t have to be minced, there is no rule like that and the pie here is precisely the way I like it. No minced meat, instead chunky pieces of lamb. The scotched egg is brilliant too. I’d happy be full with just a pie but since we were sharing, combination of scotched eggs and a pie is a decent meal. Would go there again to try other pies.

Tried to call several times across the space of a week to make a reservation, however there was no answer. We turned up on a Friday evening delighted to see the restaurant completely empty bar one waiter eating his dinner. After being sent outside but finding no tables available, we came back upstairs and tried to sit on a table for four (3 of us) we were told that we could not sit here “in case a bigger party arrives” and were told to sit on a table for two and pull a chair up. Bare in mind the restaurant is completely empty with no reserved signs. We then said to the waiter “it’s a bit squashed for three” to which he replied “yeah it is” with a shrug. We then left and he continued eating his dinner. Wish I could have reviewed the food but they had no interest in serving us.
