• "Staff looked like they couldn't be bothered."
• "Service was slow, I was left waiting for my drink until my food came."
• "Service could have been better a little slow in getting bill, as only 5 table being used, had to attract the girls attention."
• "Terrible customer service, waited 30mins to be offered drinks!"
• "Service not so great, waiter guy drinking cider by the bar and girl with poor customer service skills."

Value

Pros:

• "£8.95 which I thought was good value and the food was delicious and was served hot!"
• "Prices were a lot lower than what we we're used to in London."
• "Well worth a visit if you've not been before and fancy something different but that doesn't stray too far from what you know."
• "Always a pleasure. My partner recently learned that she is coeliac, and we found that the gluten-free pies were every bit as delicious as the normal ones."
• "A great selection, even for the vegetarians. And they taste great at a pretty reasonable price considering the location."
• "Great grub in the centre of town, with a wide variety of pies, sides and drinks to suit most at a surprisingly inexpensive cost."
• "Simply, Pieminister gives customers a tasty and hearty meal for those on a budget."

Cons:

• "In London something like this would cost you £6. They charged me £8.95. Just saying."
• "We were also over charged and had to pay £25 for two pies two portions of chips and two cappuccinos."
• "The food was top notch, but a bit on the expensive side and service was very slow."
• "£5 for a singular patty smaller than the palm of my hand is a bit of a rip off, especially when it’s 3 for £5 in store."
• "We were charged an extra £1 for the GF pies without gravy."
• "My main concern is that it was all a bit expensive (£7.50 for pie and peas) considering I got it as a takeaway."
• "Very poor indeed called in for lunch mid afternoon on Saturday when the meals came we were told sorry no GF gravy and given PICKLE."
