Perfect pies 5th February 2008

1 found this helpful

These guy have been in business for years and is family run (only the family knows the secret recipes). A tiny shop with a huge array of pies to choose from and I always eat too many!

I wish I could visit here more often but with an awkward location and normally closing around 2pm (though this may have changed since my last visit)the shop is not very convenient.

Anyone for a classic meat and bean pasty?

Pies to die for 16th January 2007

I have seen the light, and it's a meat and bean pie.

Seriously, this shop, whilst not a cafe or restaurant, will sell you a hot pie that will make your mouth explode with delight as you bite through the tasty pastry, through the dribbling bean juice and into the prime piece of mince within.

Pies are pretty simple - pastry, un-named meat, and that's it. It's just a shame that no one can make a good pie anymore. But the Central Pie Shop will blow away any thoughts of those dreadful Ginsters pie-a-likes - and replace your pre-conceptions with delicious (and cheap) sweet and savory goodness.

They sell a range of pies - Chicken, Steak and Kidney, Meat and Bean, Meat, Bean and Potatoes, Steak, Strawberry, Apple, Cherry to name but a few. Every single one hand made with prime ingredients. The very best that Kent has to offer.

Although it's a good 65 mile round trip from Central London the pies freeze well, eat beautifully cold or hot and you get a friendly service making it worth every mile.
