We had the beef and ale pie with mash and gravy, pies was fully loaded with meat and the mash was nice and creamy also the gravy was very good, coffee and refreshments also very nice. Would recommend if in the area

It was a great pie. I had the braised beef. I didn't have mashed potatoes- it's a texture thing. But all others said it was delicious and that the portion had increased, which was backed up by the owner.
I feel like they should advertise their pies to take away as I wasn't aware until a customer came and did such a thing. Nice!
They also have some amazing looking and sounding (via ingredients list) artisan cakes. (Tiffinesque)

Had a fantastic lunch at the Pie Co - pie, mash, peas & gravy. Food was excellent, washed down with a local IPA, & the staff member running the cafe was really friendly & helpful. Would recommend to everyone wanting some quality hearty food.

Really looking forward to this and not disappointed. Steak pie was exceptional and portions generous, we shared a portion of mash, peas and gravey and had more than enough. Meat and potato pie would benefit from more meat in my opinion but looking forward to trying the other pies later in the week. If you like pies then don't miss this place.

Great pies, £7.50 each to eat in, think you can takeaway hot or cold as well. Indoor and outdoor seating, not too busy even for a bank holiday weekend. Right next to the main car park. Well worth a visit!

Delicious, high quality ingredients made for two proper tasty pies; one chicken, one beef. The accompanying mash, gravy and peas were generous in portion and left us feeling full and refuelled for our return walk. A friendly place to have a chat and warm up with seating and toilet. Option to order online or buy from Booths.

Came looking for healthy breakfast and decent coffee. Did great granola pots and coffee where they used local milk and use local coffee from Staveley. Then came back after Helvellyn for one of their award winning pies! Cracking find

Wonderful pies, mash and gravy. Friendly service. Thoroughly recommended. We were also offered a vegan pie (not on the menu). Toilet available at rear. Space inside for 16 people on stools around some shared table areas - more tables outside too.

Stumbled across this gem trying to find Ambleside centre. Such lovely lads inside and a cracking pie, the mash and gravy are a must, I swear, after a days walking it’s the best recovery food out there. Go do yourself a favour when in town. Wish we had one in London.

Very nice girl working at the till, lovely pie (beef & ale), the gravy is top notch. A bit pricy at £17 for pie, mash, gravy & a drink. the mash was a bit heavy for my taste. Worth a visit though, the best meal we had all weekend. Iced Coffee was GORGEOUS.
