Piecaramba!

You'll find Piecaramba tucked away on Carlton Place, in that stretch where the city starts feeling a bit more neighbourly and less high street. The room itself is modest—nothing fancy, just honest—but that's exactly the point. These aren't your supermarket pies; they're the kind of thing that makes you wonder why you ever settled for anything else. Steak and ale, chicken and mushroom, proper vegetarian options that don't feel like an afterthought. The pastry is buttery and flaky, the fillings are generous and actually seasoned, and at these prices (under £6 for most), you're getting remarkable value. It's the sort of place locals keep coming back to, not because it's Instagram-worthy, but because the food is genuinely brilliant.
