A lighter pie to try Like our classics, they’re deep filled with delicious, sustainable ingredients, but we’ve switched the shortcrust for a lighter filo pastry. The flavour profiles are totally different too, taking inspo from the furthest culinary corners of the Med. From Morocco and Tunisia to Greece, with an emphasis on vibrant vegetables and distinctive herb and spice blends, you can practically taste the sunshine. There’s the veggie Light as a Feta pie, filled with spinach, feta cheese, kale, lemon & garlic, the Souk Chook, a free-range British chicken, harissa, red pepper & chickpea filo pie. Or for something plant-based, try Maroc Star with its Moroccan-spiced carrot, spinach & chickpea filling. Hot or cold, they’re great for eating in, taking out or taking home for later. And they taste great on their own or with a side of peas. But if you’re lucky enough to be near one of our larger restaurants,... read more …

It's official, Pieminister is now a B Corp. As a B Corp, we are now part of a global community that uses business as a force for good. This means we're balancing purpose and profit, and continuously aiming for higher environmental and social standards. Getting here wasn't easy (the application is rigorous). We think it’s definitely worth it though as the B Corp badge doesn’t just mean we meet the highest environmental and social standards, but also commits us to keeping these high standards up for the long haul. To become a Certified B Corporation, the B Corp crew scrutinises every part of a business across five key areas: Governance, Environment, Workers, Community and Customers. A company must achieve a minimum of 80 points in the B Impact Assessment to become B Corp Certified and we're super chuffed to have achieved 88.4!

Take the plunge this January with our hot new gravy fondue. Gravy is becoming the main event in our restaurants from Thursday 5 January with the launch of our fondue feast. Designed for sharing, come get your dunk on with a hot, steamy pot of rich, flavoursome gravy surrounded by a choice of delicious dippers. From free range British honey and mustard pigs, parsnip and kale fritters and onions rings to potato fries, Tenderstem broccoli spears and more, you've got plenty of choice.

With plenty of vegetarian and vegan dippers... read more …
