On the Grid : Storries Bakery

"After visiting any of the bars in this guide, you might find yourself having had one too many drinks, and a lack of sustenance. Storries pies have actually been known to save lives - they’re a thing of legend in Leith. Importantly, their unfathomable opening hours (they seem to be open all hours of the night) means a visit to this no-nonsense, old-school bakery is perfect for when the pubs close. Classic steak pie is always a safe bet for first timers. At around a bargain £1.50 per pie you should take one home too - a macaroni cheese pie, perhaps, or try the chicken curry one. Look for the little queue forming out the door and the bright yellow glow. You’re nearly home." - fourcolourblack

Went in to Storrie today, about 4pm. Asked for doner meat pie, 'hot or cold' woman asked, 'hot please' was my reply. OMG, how long had this thing been kept hot, not a few hour, DAYS by the look of it!! Straight in the bin! Never again will I be back to this bakery! Would of gave service more stars as woman was polite and cheery but knocked 2 stars off. She must of known how long that so called pie had been kept hot yet still sold it!

Curious what their policy is about not heating up cold pies in the microwave right there at the counter? Maybe it just applies to “certain” people. Went in last night with a group of ten friends from out of town and the young man gruffly informed us most of the pies were cold. We asked him if he could please throw a bunch in the microwave right behind him and he refused. He seemed irrationally irritated and impatient with us even though we were all lined up politely waiting our turn. I asked why he couldn’t reheat them and he said he “just couldn’t right now” and looked past me down the line which was mostly our party. This felt very targeted and a personal choice on his part and hopefully not the policy of the shop. It felt even more strange given we were a large party, all non-white, clearly from out of town. He gave very different treatment to the locals who came in. Wholly unwelcoming in the evening. Maybe the spot is better in the daytime but we won’t be returning.

I'll try not to swear. What the actual... A macaroni pie and a steak pie £6.10!!! And the pie crust tasted like uncooked flour. If you are going to double the price of the pies at least try to make them tasty. What a disgrace. I have been buying from this shop for more than 20 years. It was never a Michelin experience but it was good and for the price great. Now I wonder why would anyone buy here anymore

So disappointed in the pies. My favourite was always chicken curry, hadn’t had one in a while so went there today to get one. First thing they have massively increased the price to £3.30 a pie. Got it home and there was only a smear of filling, 3 bits of chicken in total and no rice. What has happened is it new owners? Anyway won’t be back, pies are now rubbish!

Best pies in Edinburgh. You absolutely have to try both the lasagne and the mac and cheese pie. Both are sensational after a few pints

I keep passing Storries on the tram from work and knew it was an old school bakers so went in on Sunday and got 2 Scotch/ mince and 2 Steak pies. I’m not a huge fan of steak pies but they were brilliant as were the mince pies. Pastry was thick and crispy and they were filled with meat. Glad I went in. Brilliant scran

Prices have increased pies are half full. Loved stories for years but no point in going back now. Sad to see it get to this way used to be the best bit of leith walk now seems they are relying on the name. Food has gotten worse as the prices have been put up. The staff are good but serving mid food. Dont know what has changed but needs to get back on to track

Long established bakery serving rolls, scones, cakes, pastries etc, along with hot food such as sausage rolls, pies and bridies. The chilli and cheese pie being a favourite. Open throughout the night at the weekend (Saturday, I think) for a night time bite. Fantastic value for money.

The pies from this place are amazing. I'm a pretty greedy eater so I had both a chicken curry and an apple pie from Storries the other day which were both delicious. The bakery is hidden deep in Leith Walk and doesn't look much from the outside, but within it feels nice and warm with an enticing aroma circulating about the place. Their front counter has great array of cakes, sponges, doughnuts and intricate confectionary. They also make their own large steak pies for big family meals which are apparantly made only of the finest quality beef. The pastry on the pies which I tasted was really nice and buttery, whilst the fillings were delicious. They only cost about £1 each and I will definitely be going back for more soon!

I love places which until you discover them you wiuld walk right past without a second glance. When you do discover them, you go in with a smirk on your face because you know what evrybody else is missing out on. Thats because the pies here are simply amazing - whether you order a small individual one which is the perfect lunch time snack, or one of thier larger family sized ones to use as a meal later on, you wont be dissapointed - the fillings are always beautiful and the pastry is lovely. They also do a range of sweet things, the usual that you would expect from a bakery, but again thier quality is very high.

I must admit...the pies in here are amazing. It's not often you'll hear me saying I love pies (haha) but they are amazing here. It doesn't look like much to a passer-by, but keep an eye out for this charming little bakery! The prices are reasonable for the quality you get, so it's definitely worth a look!

Can never choose between a steak, curry or Mac pie so I get all 3. And cheese scones. The cheese scones are something else. Must do in Edinburgh after a night out. Thankfully it's local to me. Love a storries.

The baker shop. A storries steak pie is a thing of legend whether traditional or round pie. their sausage rolls are legend but the piece de resistance these days is their curry pie. a pie case stuffed full of curry and topped with rice under the pie top. For some reason their scones seem a little salty but i go there for the pies.

Small and cheap bakery on Leith Walk - it always seems to be open at odd hrs so if you want your fresh rolls at 5am then this is the pace to come. I haven't tried the pies but have come here a lot for cakes - they are great, really good selection and tasty. Way better than the numerous Greggs that have sprung up around it.

Great wee place. Hidden gem. The steak pies I believe are known to be actual lifesavers! Definatley somewhere to know about. I'm lucky enough to work across the road but have been know to deviate from my way home after a night out x

Storries Pies, what can I say! I've not tried the curry pie but their apple pies are FAB try one today & I'm gonna go for the curry pie next time I'm in! They apparently do a mean bacon roll too!
