Gluten Free MOO (British beef steak and craft ale), with minty mushy peas and tender stems, peas, and shoots. Oh and an apple ginger shrub mocktail (fiery ginger beer, apple, lime, mint and cinnamon) Really enjoyed my pie here. Cute atmosphere too. Service is just fine, not over the top but definitely not shabby. Pieminister has a nice variety of sides and pies, guarantee if you like a pie you'll find something here. read more

Just returned from having dinner there with Grandma & my granddaughter on the last night of our visit to Cardiff, Wales (for the first time). The biggest mistake was not having dinner here on the first evening. The food, service & ambience was fantastic. We did not have much, a Moo pie, a Moo & Blu pie for myself and a "Heidi" for Grandma -- but all were fantastic and table talk diminished as dinnder disappeared. We even went for desert, the Hot Toffee was not available so I was forced to "settle" for the Pecan Sundae... poor me -- the worst thing is I had to share with my dinnermates ((grinn)) Our granddaughter is 11 and it was a great time for our 6:30 pm dinner on a Thursday. If only we weren't departing Cardiff tomorrow... read more

Touring the UK with my husband when we came across this place not realizing it was a chain, so I am not sure how authentic their pies are, but they were ok. In our dining experiences in the UK, we found the food to be on the bland side. We had the Moolin Rouge, British beef steak, dry cured bacon, and red wine. Our sides were smokey baked beans, and mint mushy peas. Like I said the pie was ok, the beans were tasty, and the mint mushy peas were like eating toothpaste so we weren't fans. Service was nice and the waitress was happy to assist us with deciphering the coins as we paid with cash. An ok experience but I wish we would have gone some where else. read more

Pieminister - Moolin Rouge, with bakes beans and minty mushy peas. - British Near Me - Cardiff, CRF

Fast service, tasty food, great location. Some of the best comfort food in Cardiff. Check it out!

Early dinner on a Saturday when the city center was really busy- this place wasn't packed yet since we were before the dinner rush. Good service! Food came out pretty fast. There are several meat pies as well as vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options! I had the Heidi, which is a vegetarian pie with goat cheese and sweet potatoes. The crust is flaky and cooked really well! I loved the filling- still hearty even without meat. The mash was a great choice and the gravy is excellent- pour it all over! The mushy peas have mint- peas aren't my favorite but these have a good texture. I was really full after and this is a good value meal for the quality! 2 pies with sides and a beer for £26 in the city center- we were plenty satisfied! read more

A belly full of warm, delicious food on a cold and rainy day. This place is fantastic. Highly recommend.

Definitely recommend if you are traveling from out of the country. All of the pies look great, but the Chicken Pot Pie and the Stilton Cheese/Beef were a bit with us. The place is popular, a few of the things we wanted to order were sold out, so be sure to get there early on a weekend. The Aperol spritzer and the Raspberry Beret were pretty good as well. read more

Food was awesome but overpriced and service abysmal due to being understaffed gave them a second chance and service was even worse again due to being understaffed. read more

Great place to enjoy a hearty hot meal served quickly. Great service. Tried the paneer and fungi pies and were both delicious. read more

Great service, we got our pies quickly and the price is awesome. Everything was delicious and perfect for a cold winter day.

Pieminister is a small chain of restaurants in the UK, with its specialty being pies as suggested in the name, they are based in Bristol with 2 restaurants over there and some other branches across the country including Manchester, London and this branch right here in the Welsh capital - Cardiff. After enjoying some of there Pie-pots, which they sell in british supermarkets including Tesco, I decided to call in here, having wanted to try them for a while but having been put off by there Manchester store, being up steps and not offering a gluten free menu of any kind, however this place was different. They did have a gluten free menu with some nice pies on show, including the pastry, I decided to order a Gluten Free Moo with Mash. The service was quite quick, and it was very good value as well. My server was very nice, she was irish and we got chatting about Manchester, my home-town and how she visited the branch over there, and she also helped get me the password to the staff wi-f, with the standard customer wifi not working, and with my Tesco network struggling to pick up any signal in store, coming up as GRPS, meaning I needed connection to a wi-fi source as neither by 3G or 4G would work. I was also pleased with there range of drinks, with quite a cool selection of Apple Juice, including Orchard Pig which had free varieties, as I recall these were Ginger and Chilli, Sparking and Elderflower, I decided to order Ginger and Chilli, the drink was quite nice and did have that kick to it, that chilli gives. One flaw is that the seats and tables were not really comfortable or accessible, and I actually came out with a bad back because of it. Moving onto my food, it was quite nice, I liked the presentation and the mash was quite creamy and did gt o well with the pie, especially with the extra gravy, which was also made gluten free as well but still the gravy was quite nice, the pie was quite nice and the gravy it was in, made with ale was also quite nice and the pastry was also good. To conclude, this branch is something which should provide inspiration for other branches, including Manchester as they seem to be doing things right, which is always a good thing, the decor is also very nice and I would like to suggest they try to work on adding more tables/chairs, comfort and a wider selection on the gluten free menu to improve in the future, but this store has done enough to earn four stars, and on Queen Street with so many eateries including Prezzo and Zizzi, this place has finally stepped up to set its-self apart from the competition. read more

I spied this restaurant in my pre Cardiff research and it did not disappoint. Located towards the south western edge of city center, the offerings include a number of unique savoy pies, at least four of which are vegetarian and/or vegan. You also can choose from several meal structures. We both had the one pie, one side, and one ice cream option. My pie was the wild mushroom asparagus pie, served with a brown sauce over a vegan much. Absolutely delicious. My wife had the Kevin pie which had chestnut mushrooms, quinoa, tomatoes and baby onions. There is nothing quite like this in our home of Southern California. I asked our server what her favorite ice cream sundae option was as every choice looked tempting. She recommended the cherry pie sundae which served as a nice finish to our meal. We did do battle with a few knats during dinner but the taste of the food was worth even this distraction. Well worth seeking out. read more

Loved the food here, had pie mash peas bacon sprinkles delicious next time I'll take a picture dived straight in

My boyfriend and I made a spontaneous decision to come to Cardiff after visiting some relatives in England. I'd been talking about steak and kidney pie all week long (not something we eat in America). My boyfriend had been to the oxford restaurant before and loved it, so when we stumbled on this we couldn't resist. It was everything I hoped and dreamed - we got the food about 30 seconds after ordering, the pie was incredible, and the minted mushy peas were great. Thank goodness we don't have these in the states because I'd be very fat very quickly. read more

As today marks the start of 'British Pie Week' I figured it only right that I throw it back to the last time I ate Pie at Pieminister and of course share the only reason I forgo Skinny Jeans... The 'Deerstalker' - filled with British Venison, dry cured bacon, red wine and puy lentils. This Pie is the top of the Pie Chain. Add their sweet potato chips, minty mushy peas (a few hundred more calories) and you have yourself the perfect way in which to celebrate British Pie Week! *raises fork* Enjoy! read more

Good food, good drink specials. Service was a little off: the waitress hadn't specified gluten free for my friend's pie, and that was caught when the server confirmed it aloud, when she was dropping the plate. No issues, she snatched it away and brought out my friends gf pie and my regular one together, just a couple of minutes later. read more

Savory Pies! Yum. I was with family visiting Cardiff before a futbol match. We decided to lunch here after seeing that their space could easily accommodate 6 people (and off course because... pies). Great service. Everyone loved their pie. Pies of all kinds--too many to try. read more

My friends and I spent 2 nights in Cardiff recently and fell in love with this vibrant city! The Pieminister was a terrific find. The warm and delicious pies, paired with home style sides and tasty pints were a welcome sight on a cold night. The chicken pie was our favorite and the mashed potatoes are to pie for. read more

Pieminister has a great selection of pies and they have an innovative, modern approach to good quality pies. I chose the Mistlemoo pie (steak, Stilton, prosciutto, and chestnut pie with port) which was delicious. The pies aren't all that large but are filling. I had the mint and chilli peas for a side and you'd probably want one or two sides for a meal, but prices are really reasonable. They also have a great beer selection with local beers - they had several Wild Beer Co beers and some great ones from Bristol Beer Factory too! Pieminister a cool place, one of the few good options open on a Sunday night, and it was a lot of fun! read more

What can I say it's pie, but done so well! This place is so underrated but it's so delicious it's basic done well and that's what I love. The decor is good, they've done a lot with a small place and it's nicely done. Staff are so friendly and quite a relaxed atmosphere what else do you need? read more

I've had Pieminister pies before, but not in a sit down venue like this one. The decor is very cool, lots of pie puns and Sweeney Todd-esque images on the wall. And the pies, of course, are delicious. Rich fillings and excellent pastry, and the sides are doled out in generous servings. There's even a choice of gravy, so all your meat (or non-meat, they do vegie pies too) dreams can come true. We also learned you can have them cater your wedding. Personally I consider a pie-centric wedding menu an entirely genius idea, so this lunchtime stop at Pieminister has improved my life greatly - and the chances of me bothering to get married. read more

Cold? Rainy? Hungry? This place will fix all of this. Awesome pies and beer to go with it.

Very tasty pies. Had a chicken of Aragon and the gravy was satisfying. Good service as well.

Best pie in town, cost is good just like others's review. Toilets are downstairs, and there wasn't much people so it was quiet enough to chat without having to deal with loud customers which was good for a change. read more

Went in a busy Friday night, got a seat despite not having a reservation. The service was good, order came quickly, it was hot and fresh. The flavor on the Moodog pie was good, beefy and savory. The mash were hot, but not the best I've had. About bang average. This combo cost £8. Overall, would come back and eat again without reservation. read more

I had the fungi chicken pie with mash. Very good. I also decided to order the mac and cheese. Surprisingly good.

This was our first real dinner on our vacation in England. We wanted to try the traditional pie & mash, and I'm SO glad we found this place. The food is delicious and put together beautifully. The desserts are amazing too! Def must go! read more

Me and my wife came here for lunch while we were in Cardiff, we were going to go to Madame Fromage down the street but they were closed on Sunday. I'm glad we stumbled across this place because it was great! The pie's we got were really good and they had great service. The atmosphere was nice and they weren't too expensive, great place. read more

They have a great selection of meat and vegetarian pies. Easy menu to choose from, quick and friendly service.

I love Pieminister and have always been a big fan of their produce however after 4 or 5 visits to the restaurant I have become a bit bored of it. The service is always slow and I hate the fact that the food comes in tin camping dishes!!! Because of this reason the food (apart from the pies) is always cold. I won't be visiting here for a long time and if I fancy a Pieminister I will probably just pick one up from the supermarket. read more

Great food, good service. Wonderful variety of savory (and several sweet) pies. Good seating for small or large groups. Have been a couple of times and know people who have gone their several times over a couple of years. Always good food. read more

The pies were very tasty and not expensive at all but the service was slow and a bit rude.
