ThereÂ’s not much space inside, with a few small tables and some bar stools on either side. The walls have been painted and tiled white however, which stops it feeling like a dank cellar.

[[Kat]] visited for takeaway on a Tuesday lunchtime in March 2017. It was almost empty: apart from half a dozen indecisive tourists looking at the menu above the counter when I arrived (they opted for somewhere else in the end), only one of the small tables was occupied. A butternut squash and goatÂ’s cheese pie (true pie, with pastry all the way around) with roasted new potatoes and veggie gravy was £9. The pie itself was very filling and pretty flavourful, although quite stodgy, and the pastry had gone a bit soggy by the time I got back to the office. The potatoes were well cooked and nicely peppery, but most importantly there were plenty of them.

Accessibility: the lower section of the market is accessed via stone steps with a handrail. A low ramp to get in. Once inside, itÂ’s flat throughout, though the tables are small and cramped quite close together. DidnÂ’t see any customer toilets.

Small pie restaurant and takeaway, tucked away in a corner of the lower floor of Covent Garden market.

There’s not much space inside, with a few small tables and some bar stools on either side. The walls have been painted and tiled white however, which stops it feeling like a dank cellar.

Kat's verdict: one of the better pie options in the area, assuming you like a stodgy pie (I do). It's expensive compared to say, Pieminister, but probably to be expected given the location.
