AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
The steak pie earns fervent praise as a hearty, flaky triumph, while the overall vibe is one of cozy, unpretentious comfort that feels like a warm embrace.
“This steak pie is a minced steak pie, similar to the pie and mash you get in London. It's not a chunky steak, but it retains all that flavour. I love that these pies are not enormous — they won't make you feel terrible afterwards, though having three might.”

Dishes mentioned
Butter Pie
This butter pie is the Preston signature pie. As I break it open, it's just potato, onion and butter with a bit of seasoning. It's like the best mashed potato you could ever have in that beautiful pastry. The pastry is amazing, cooked in an old-school oven. The butter seeps through everything. It's so light. I think I've found a new favourite pie — Lancashire's finest, Preston's finest. The best butter pie in town, in the UK, and by proxy, the world.
Meat and Potato Pie
The meat and potato pie has really peppery meat with loads of seasoning, and that beautiful smooth buttery mash. Nothing beats a meat and potato pie fresh from the oven.
Steak Pie
This steak pie is a minced steak pie, similar to the pie and mash you get in London. It's not a chunky steak, but it retains all that flavour. I love that these pies are not enormous — they won't make you feel terrible afterwards, though having three might.
Sausage Roll
Even the sausage roll is fantastic.
