With British Pie Week (6th – 12th March) just around the corner, we have rounded up three of the best picks for the most perfect pies in London.
Showstopping Sharers at Ganymede
139 Ebury Street, Belgravia, London, SW1W 9QU
Gorgeous neighbourhood restaurant Ganymede is serving up two sensational sharing pie specials for British Pie Week that are not to be missed. The famous ‘Cow Pie’ sees a super-rich and indulgent slow-cooked beef cheek ragu served in a sharing skillet, topped with a perfectly buttery short crush pastry top, and finished with a crumbed bone marrow centre. Alternatively, the classic ‘Fish Pie’ sees the likes of smoked cod, mussels and juicy Atlantic prawns swimming in a creamy sauce, and topped with a cheesy mash gratin. Designed for two to share, the British Pie Week specials are available from 6th – 12th March and priced at £40 each.

Pie, Mash & Liquor at The Crown Tavern
117 Burnt Ash Hill, London, SE12 0AJ
Located in the heart of Lee, South-East London, The Crown Tavern is the place to go for a classic British pie, inspired by traditional pie & mash shops. Celebrating the best of British produce with a focus on homemade pies, the pub specialises in hand-crafted mince beef pies, served with creamy mash and a parsley liquor. Harking back to historic East-End London pie shops, each pie is made fresh in-house with premium British beef and a crumbly short crust pastry, served with a choice of gravy or lashings of parsley liquor. Best served with a pint of Young’s Original.
