We’re back on the Croft!

It’s been three months since we closed our original shop in Bristol – but we think you’ll agree it’s been worth the wait!  Our founder Jon and his team have created a completely new pie place for all you Bristol pie eaters – and now you get to have your pie with a pint!

Pieminister_StokesCroft-3

This new pie and cider place extends way back into our old pie kitchens, doubling the dining room. It’s decked-out with a mix of utilitarian design features and a fresh and original pieminister style (think neon signs, polished concrete, bare brickwork….and a piano) – Jon our founder trained as a product designer, so he’s loved getting creative here!

There’s a zinc bar stocked to the rafters with local craft beers and ciders, carafes of house wine (one red, one white: small, £5/big, £10) and Bristol’s  very own 6 O’Clock Gin & Tonic.  There’s also a selection of West Country bar nibbles and £5 cheese boards to share.

Or you can sit at tables to be served by staff who’ll bring your favourite award winning pie from the range with our classic sides (you can swap your mash for chips, or have your pie served ploughman-style!). This is also the first place to try a pieminister mash-topped pie.  Served in enamel tins, choose from fish pie, cottage pie or pulled pork pie.  And there are puddings: £1 balls from Bath’s Marshfield Farm come in three classic ice cream flavours or try the Bristolbockerglory – a West Country ice cream sundae.

We’re open at 10am for morning coffee (from Bristol’s Extract Coffee Roasters) and the food menu’s available all day until closing time at 11pm.  As well as pies you can pop in for an afternoon cuppa (teas from Tea House of Bath) and a simple, delicious selection of classic tray-baked cakes handmade on the premises.  So this really is somewhere for everyone, any time –  for coffees with colleagues, pie feasts with family, lazy Sunday munching with mates and with the new, late opening hours, it’s a great place for a pie and pint pit-stop in the evening.

All our award winning pies are made in-house, 4.5miles from Stokes Croft.  The pies are made using 100% British beef, outdoor reared pork, free range chicken and venison and MSC certified fish.  All our vegetarian pies are approved by the Vegetarian Society and contain award winning cheeses from the West Country.

Feel better about eating all the pies by getting out on your bike

As part of the ‘Win a Great British holiday for 10’ competition in conjunction with Sawday’s Canopy & Stars, Sustrans are also giving away a ‘Cycle City South West Map Pack’.

The pack includes details of the Tarka Trail, which is right on the doorstep of The Vintage Vardos, so the lucky winners can explore the local area by bike.

Here are some of our top facts about the trail:

Yes it is named after the famous otter. The trail follows the same route as the plucky otter, Tarka, takes in the novel by Henry Williamson.

Pie-o-fuel. It takes the average person around three hours to complete to the whole route, a journey that can be fuelled by 2.7 Pie Minister pies.

Set me free. The 30 mile route is completely free to use and completely free from traffic.

Working art. There are 30 functional artworks along the route, including shelters and benches based on the wildlife and landscape that can be found along the trail.

Hear ye! There’s a free audio guide to the route that can be downloaded to your phone or mp3 player and listened to along the way.

Railway revival. The route was formerly a railway line linking the towns of Braunton and Meeth and in 2011, BBC presenter James May, along with 400 volunteers, built a model railway on the 10 mile section between Barnstaple and Bideford.

Sustrans is a leading UK charity that’s enabling people to travel by foot, bike or public transport for more of the journeys we make every day. Find out more.

Win a great British Holiday for 10 with Swaday’s Canopy & Stars!

To celebrate our 10th Anniversary we’ve joined up with Sawday’s Canopy & Stars to give you the chance to win a wonderful weekend for TEN at The Vintage Vardos.

Three beautiful Gypsy caravans in glorious Devon could be yours to share with nine of your ‘nearest and dearest’ for the ultimate glamping experience. Vintage Vardos comes with a communal outdoor kitchen, but also a campfire which means if the weather is cooperative, you could end up with a really lovely evening singing round the camp fire, and a chance to make to enjoy Pieminister pies in the great outdoors. This is a chance to lose yourselves in the wild while lapping up the luxury of these small but perfectly formed wagons.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The prize also includes: A Cycle City South West Map Pack from our friend at Sustrans, which includes the wonderful Tarka Trail – it’s one of the longest sections of route in the country that is completely free from traffic on the doorstep of Vintage Vardos.

After all that exercise, you can feel a little more smug about tucking into a box of 12 pieminister pies and and relax in a t-shirt of your choice !

Sounds like a dream that might come true? Enter here today! Competition closes on the 12th May.
