Wow- so delicious. Just writing this review is making me want to fly back to London for another meal at Piebury Corner. The menu has a good variety of pies and sides, but it isn't overwhelming. All of the pies are displayed in a heated case at the register. Once you choose the type of pie you'd like, they heat it up for you in the oven. The restaurant also has a small selection of beer. I went with a group of six for lunch and a beer before the Arsenal match. We couldn't leave London without trying their famous meat pies! I decided to order a side of mashed potatoes with gravy and the Tony Adams- Steak & Ale pie. I finished my whole plate in record time. Everything was delicious! The restaurant is kind of small and can get crowded. You order at the register. The line was a bit long, but it moved very quickly and was definitely worth the wait. There is minimal seating inside and a few tables outside. We decided to sit at the tall tables outdoors and watch the streets of London. It was an amazing experience! Definitely a must-visit in London! read more

This little hole-in-the-wall place has one of the best pies I had in London. We ordered the chicken and porter, steak and ale and minced beef and onion pies. We also got a side of scotch eggs. Everything was terrific. They have a nice-looking selection of beers as well although we didn't try any. The person behind the counter is super nice as well. Would definitely come back! read more

Arsenal may have had a decade from hell, but we've got a damned good pie shop. Pierbury names its wide selection of pies after Arsenal legends. As I hate ham, I didn't get the Dennis Bergkamp (chicken, ham, leek) and got the Ray Parlour instead. The pork was a little dry, but the stuffing was excellent. Jalapeno scotch eggs were pricey, but quite good and I really liked that the yolks were half-cooked. And I got a free mug because it's St. Patrick's Day! read more

One of the quintessential eats for any Gooner! Nothing better to start your day with than a good ol pie drowned in gravy before heading to the pubs nearby to get ready to cheer on The Arsenal! Never been disappointed by any pie here, and now they have vegan options! However, one of my favorites will always be the Ox Cheek & Venison, even though the Ox is no longer with us. Everything is packed with flavor, the (non-vegan) pie crust is full of buttery goodness, and the salty gravy makes everything just that much better - especially after a loss. This eatery is a staple for any visiting fan to the Emirates. Small shop with cheap eats (£7.50!) right on the street. It doesn't get any better than this! read more

Amazing pie. Not huge but oh what flavours! Paired with mash and peas it's an excellent meal. I had beef & Guinness while my husband had the version pie. Both had a lovely portion of beef, which is always the main point of pie! Lovely smooth mash and a gravy to die for. £5 for pie, £6.50 with mash! If in the area highly recommend read more

I don't have much of a frame of reference because I've never had a real meat pie. I had a couple of those frozen Stouffer's jobs growing up, but nothing I would call authentic. But what Piebury Corner served up was fantastic. Piping hot and served with a generous portion of mashed potatoes, really hit the spot. Located near Arsenal's home and as noted in a couple of the pics, the pies are named after Arsenal icons. Not shown is what I ordered, the Arsene Wenger - chicken and broccoli. Was delicious. If you're in the area, give it a try. read more

I am in love with this place and so upset its not in Dublin! A pie is just what you need before you head up to the Emirates Stadium for an Arsenal match... and Piebury Corner doesn't disappoint! Crumbly, sweet pastry, a wide range of fillings (check out my photo of their 'Legends' menu), and plenty of roasties/mash and gravy to give you that warm, fuzzy feeling inside. I had the 'Tony Adams' which was beautifully cooked steak and ale. I've had plenty of pies in my time but this was up there with the best of them! And with a pie with mash/roasties and gravy for under a tenner, you would be tempted to get one on the way home too! read more

All football fans have a pre match ritual, and included in mine is a visit to Piebury Corner. I won't bore you with stats to prove that eating here before the game increases the chance of an Arsenal win, but it certainly reduces the chances of you getting a half time tummy rumble. £4.50 gets you an Arsenal legend themed pie, £6.50 if you want mash or roast potatoes with it. Food is consistently good and the guy who sits outside on match days playing an eclectic mix of 70s ska vinyls on his little turntable just adds to the atmosphere. COYG! read more

I may be American but I would wager that these are the best pies in London! Great atmosphere and friendly staff, not to mention food that compels you to clear your plate. I beg anyone coming to London or anyone already living here to try this amazing place! read more

My brother supports Chelsea...I'm a gooner. This years FA Cup final had both sides competing, so it was necessary for me to travel from Canada to visit him and attend the match. We were all set to head to Wembley when tragedy struck. My brother and his wife headed to Heathrow and I altered my plans from Wembley to Holloway Road. The gunners won and soon after the bars emptied and I was dancing and cheering along with thousands. Eventually when things died down and I started walking North along Holloway. I had heard about Piebury Corner a couple years ago, but had not had a chance to visit. Five minutes into my walk, I chanced upon it and knew I had to stop in. As you can imagine, the line was large, but everything moved quickly. Along with the Arsenal themed punny restaurant name, they have analogous pie names. The Ian Wright is a strong and bold steak and stilton, the Thierry Henry is venison and red wine and the Tony Adams is steak and ale. They have about 20 more pies (4 vegetarian and 5 sweet) and other non pie items like steak pasty, scotch eggs, sausage rolls and a few salads. Along with your pie, why not pile on some mash which comes in 3 different flavours or roasted tatties and crushed peas. The match was a tight one today, but Arsenal came out on top from a goal by Aaron Ramsey. In his honour, I tucked into an Aaron Lambsey which is lamb, veg and a hint of mint. The pies are premade and waiting, but once selected, they pop it in the oven for 7 minutes to finish it off. It then comes out piping hot and in my opinion perfectly baked. The crust was nice and flaky and had a nice fire bottom. The innards were piping hot and bursting out and the flavour was great. The gravy is tasty and just the right consistency but my peas and mash were decent. Overall this was a great pie and for about 15 pounds a pie, a beer, and a couple sides is pretty reasonable. And let's talk about the beer. I am definitely not a macro lager drinker, so it was nice to see a selection of local craft beer on the menu. They had beer from Meantime, Camden, Beaverton, Harveys, East London, and Hammerton Breweries. There was also an Arsenal branded ale, which I purchased, but I do not know who makes it, but it is likely one of the previously mentioned breweries. Cider and wine also make an appearance. Of course the Arsenal theme really influences my feelings about this place, but I think 5 stars still is an appropriate score due to the pies, beers, and price point. Others must believe this too because Piebury Corner has opened two more locations. Stop by, you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been itching to try Piebury Corner for ages now. Finally, we did, and we were certainly not disappointed! I ordered a Potato, Cheese, Garlic and Onion pie, with a side of creamy mash and vegetarian gravy. The pie was a hot little oval shaped taste of heaven. I've been feeling poorly this week, and it was just what the doctor ordered. The crust was perfect, as was the filling. Instead of a traditional pastry crust, the top was covered in a deliciously seasoned cheese topping. The mash was nice. Not the best I've ever had, but good for mash I've had in the UK, and the gravy was lovely. Sometimes vegetarian gravy can be a bit boring, but Piebury Corner's gravy is full of flavour. Not sure how other's paid only £6.50, but I want some of that! I think the cost is on par with it's worth... £10.50 for pie, mash and gravy. One thing is for sure! We will be back. read more

Nothing beats a cheap, good quality pie. Add a great selection of ales and ciders and a fun but not over-the-top retro atmosphere, and you've made a return customer out of me. The pies aren't oversized monstrosities. Instead, they're completely manageable with a plate of tats or mash and some veg. All-in-all, a cracking value. The owners are also lovely, coming by to collect finished plates and glasses and to ask after your meal. There's a plethora of jams, chutneys and other condiments for sale alongside a range of cold pies to take away and heat up in the comforts of your own home. A solid cheap-eats option in the Lower Holloway area if I've ever seen one. I'll definitely be back. read more

It's like Pieminister, but independent, far tastier and with some pretty cute decor. I like this place. I like it a lot. I've purchased their carb-loaded goods on more than one chilly winter night. ....I mean who doesn't love pie, fancy British ale and some delicious mash?! I only wish this place wasn't so dangerously close to my apartment. read more

Who ate all the pies? THIS GIRL! Yes, my favourite part of this place is the pun-errific name. Piebury Corner, Highbury Corner, get it? HIGHlarious. Anyway. Larissa has commented here that nothing beats a cheap, good quality pie, well she should go across the street to Greggs for that because Piebury is not cheap. Sure, maybe it's because I'm used to Scottish pies but 4.50 for a single pie is kinda pricey. They are delicious though. Temptingly delicious. I inhaled my chicken and leek in about 4 seconds and wanted another. I'm a fat kid in a pie shop. I haven't tried the Scotch pie, but I've plans to go back for another. The staff here are lovely too and were super friendly when I went in. read more

Essentially a pie and mash shop with a lot more choice and a lot higher quality. There are a good selection of different pies then choose if you want it with mash or roast potato bits. The pies have interesting names I'm assuming they're something to do with arsenal players or something?! Don't really like football. I had the steak and ale with mash. Portions are not massive but big enough to leave you comfortably full. The pie was lovely and the gravy great to. I had a black pudding scotch egg on the side which was absolutely delicious warm with a gooey yolk. Lovely lunch under a tenner :-) read more

This is the finest pie shop I've ever encountered. Granted, it's the only one I've been to, but it was so great. An excellent scotch egg and a steak and Guinness pie that was to die for made the walk from the flat we were staying at at the old Arsenal stands so worth it. I just wish the Gunners were playing when we were staying so it would have put the experience over the top. A must visit. read more

Fantastic selection of pies here, and many of them are award winners. Forget your soggy bottoms and empty filling due to a lack of meat/veg, the pies here are maybe a little smaller than you'd expect, but they're packed to the brim with filling and flavour. £8 for a pie + a side, and take your pick from mash, roast potatoes, mint peas or salad. Oh, and students/seniors get £1/2 discount - pretty fab! Throw in huge selection of craft beer, a deli where you can buy the pies for cheaper to take elsewhere and you're laughing! All in all, don't let the football themed pies put you off, Piebury Corner is really superb! read more

Just exactly perfect warm savory pies and beer. Perfect afternoon snack on a Friday nearing rain. read more

Piebury Corner - British Near Me - London, XGL

Piebury Corner started life as a roadside stall on Arsenal match days and has carried that heritage through to the deli by naming the pies after Arsenal legends such as Ian Wright and Tony Adams. With a large range of award winning pies starting from £3.50 if you buy them from the chilled counter to cook at home (add £1 if you want them warmed up in the deli and £2 if you want mash / roast potatoes and gravy), this is a reliable and very good quality way to have a cheap meal. As well as a range of beers, chutneys, cheeses and pickles Piebury Corner recently started offering a range of proper scotch eggs, which are also fantastic. Chorizo, black pudding, haggis or all day breakfast. read more

Must eat for the best pies on the planet!!! You. Any go wrong with any pie on the menu named after Arsenal legends. #COYG

As an Arsenal supporter, having fantastic pies located right next to Emirates Stadium is just too good. It's just a shame I don't live in London. There pies are so freaking good! I first experienced their excellent pies before the Dortmund home match a few months ago. I got the: Ox Cheek & Venison - The "Ox" (excellent, you could really taste the gamey venison) Steak & Ale - The "Tony Adams" (lots of great steak in ale gravy) The pies are delicious but they're not that big. So get two or three. Which is not a problem at all. Enjoy!! read more

Delicious pies and the best roast potatoes I've ever had. Definitely recommend coming here. read more

My favorite meal in London! The pork apple stuffing pie is the best and you can't go wrong with any of their dessert pies!! Must get the mashed potatoes and gravy! read more

Exceptional warming pies and creamy filling mash served by friendly staff a mere pie's throw from Holloway Road tube station. On our visit we also sampled the scotch eggs, which were almost perfect (my only criticism being that the chorizo one needed to be a bit more chorizo-y). I highly recommend a visit to this place. Probably best avoided on match day though. read more

Being an Arsenal fan I pass this place quite a lot. On matchdays it's heaving with a great atmosphere as people eat and drink outside. The owner even plays some cool old skool tunes on his mini vinyl for everyone to enjoy. Love the Theo Walcott, Lee Dixon, Dennis Bergkamp in particular! read more

Piebury Corner is a must for any Arsenal supporter, or really anyone who finds themselves in this neighborhood in North London. The pies are terrific. I had the Thierry Henry (venison and red wine), and my wife had the chicken and mushroom. Most of the pies are named after Arsenal legends (or at least Arsenal players). The crust is flaky, crisp and delicious. The meat inside is tender and flavorful. The gravy is pretty standard gravy, and the mash/roasties are excellent. The staff are excellent. We sat outside on a lovely Saturday afternoon and enjoyed our pies and the colorful traffic on busy Holloway Rd. It was as pleasant of an experience as one could ever hope for. read more

As an Aussie, I might as well be the biggest meat pie critic! I've tried a range of pies from Piebury and they never disappoint. The goat cheese and sweet potato pie is incredible. You can't go wrong with the steak pies. The pastry, filling, sauces = ace. The shopkeepers are top notch in service. Only one point of critical feedback: I wish they were open all week! read more

Went here before Arsenal vs Everton and it was the perfect pre-game vibe. Ate outside in front while somebody spun 45s the whole time. The owner came out and introduced himself to everyone also. Really made you feel welcome and at home. Meat Pies were awesome and the mash and gravy are top notch. read more

I tried my first meat pie at Piebury Corner, and they definitely did not disappoint. The steak and ale pie was delicious and savory, without being too salty. Who doesn't love the pure beefy-ness of a steak and ale pie? Didn't get the mash, but the gravy was a nice addition. They even have take-away containers for the pies and gravy, as well as instructions on how to properly heat-up your pie. Friendly shop with good prices. read more

I read good reviews but this exceeded expectations! The red wine and venison pie was just delightful and with some peas and mash....how could you go wrong! read more

Fantastic Pies hard to pick my favourite there all great and the Scotcheggs too. They have a good choice of beers, ales and ciders. And on a match day there is a brilliant atmosphere outside. read more

Amazing post match pies after the soccer. Beer is served . Staff friendly. Not too crowded. 10 pounds for pie potatoes and beer

I thought this was going to be a "proper" pie n mash shop but it's all north London. Red wine gravy ffs!? Having said that, the pies are pretty good, just a shame about the lack of liquor. read more

You cannot beat the quality for the price! Also Alice and Shay were amazing, making our first trip to the U.K. a great one. They didn't just treat us like dumb Americans and made us feel welcome and took excellent care of us. The staff was great, the food was great, and the atmosphere was homey and great for people watching. read more
