Pieminister

You'll find yourself on Waterloo Street in the city centre, stepping into a place that smells exactly how a bakery should—buttery, savoury, warm. Pieminister does one thing seriously well: hand-crimped pies that actually taste like someone's mum made them, except better. The menu rotates but you're looking at proper fillings (steak and ale, roasted veg, fish), plus they do a mean vegetarian selection that doesn't feel like an afterthought. It's the kind of spot where you can grab a pie and eat it standing up at lunch, or settle in for a proper sit-down with a coffee.
