This country is in short supply of really good pie and mash shops, it seems, which is odd considering this is the land of pie! A brand making a serious effort to change this, reinventing the old pie and mash concept, is pieminister.

While they have a few shops around the UK where you can get a wide range of excellent pies with mash and gravy, there has never been one anywhere near my home or office. Until now.

Opened just a few week’s ago (January 2010) they now have a small shop in an almost hidden away corner in the cooky Gabriel’s Wharf down by the Thames. Although perhaps not really in Waterloo, it is a bit of a walk from the station, I feel the quality of their food makes this one worth noticing and rejoicing over.

Have a look, and certainly go try them out: pieminister information and location.
