Charlie James Pie & Mash

Always my ‘go to’ place for a takeaway. The food here is amazing, never had a bad meal from Charlie James pie shop. Some days we’ll go in and order and watch them preparing all the food fresh and talk to the really pleasant staff, other days we’ll arrange a delivery which always arrives piping hot. If you’ve not tried this place and like pies, then you really should. You won’t be disappointed.

My first time trying Charlie's and it won't be my last. I phoned my order in for delivery and the staff member was so very helpful. I had the minted lamb pie with premium mash and mushy peas followed by strawberry waffle. Every cooked item was superb, well seasoned and very tasty. The portions were generous and everything arrived in sustainable packaging, a nice touch.

A freezing cold day in Cleveleys was saved by the discovery of this little gem. Everything pies (and chips and other alternatives), including steak, chicken &bacon and even vegan alternatives. This is a lovely pie emporium. We weren't really hungry so I ordered the meat pie, horseradish mash and pea/carrot veg. We had intended to share, which wasn't a problem for the staff. But, having seen and test tasted my pie Mrs G couldn't help but order the same as me. Absolutely delicious and full of tender beef. The pies are made on the day by the owner so you can be sure that what you get is really fresh. If you're in the area drop in and tuck in, you won't be disappointed! The owners are really friendly and up for a chat.

Took me a while to finally go and see what all the fuss was about, I can tell you I don't know where to start! Absolutely love the place, took my wife and kids today and wasn't disappointed at all, my kids were more than welcome even got to see how the milkshakes were made! The food was amazing plenty of choices/options even board games for the kids to keep them occupied. Can't recommend it highly enough, we had the smoked bacon and cheese mash and the beef Sunday dinner pie brilliant, it came with fluffy Yorkshire pudding, roasties and carrots. But there is so, much more on the menu, will be going back very soon

Let me start off by saying that it's nice to go somewhere friendly. This is that place. I've now had pie & mash from opposite ends of the spectrum. The low end being where there was no taste in anything & the pie was one of those 6 for £1 from your local discount freezer store type of things. Served with some light green tasteless runny paste. Garbage. Awful service too. Charlie James is the very high end of the spectrum. Total opposite. Made to feel welcome from walking in. Everything is very clean & fresh & you can see right into the kitchen when you walk in & have a good look at what's going on. Decor is light & the restaurant feels airy. The food we ordered was awesome. I've eaten from here before but it was ordered for delivery to where I work (they deliver, free on orders of £25 or more). When it arrived & everyone was tucking in all you could hear was lots of "mmmmmmm" & "awwwww". If you like a good pie I highly recommend this place. The fillings are sumptuous & well seasoned. The gravy is like silk. The mustard mash is also a winner for me. Even after being delivered 4 miles it was still very mashy. Deliveries come in strong cardboard boxes that have no problem keeping gravy in. There was a place in Cleveleys that held the crown for best chip (fries if you're American) but this place has it now. Fresh cut, super chunky, super crispy, with melted cheddar. Mmmmmm. There's a very wide selection of desserts & shakes on offer, all of which make you salivate by just reading them. Also, good old fashioned floats including root beer, dandelion & burdock etc. Don't see those on offer much. It's also nice to get a bottle of beer that's reasonably priced & chilled. If you like a hearty meal and/or decadent desserts served in a friendly family atmosphere then you should try here. Or get a delivery first & then make your mind up. I did & will be going back again.

The pies from here are made fresh and you can really taste the difference, no mass produced rubbish here! They taste amazing and the mash is lovely and silky. I would highly recommend this take out. They do have a seated restaurant too and we'll definitely be trying that sometime soon if this is the standard. We wish the family who own this establishment all the best in this new venture....you'll go far with food like this 😁
