British Pie Week: The best places in Sheffield to try a proper tasty pie

The annual event is held between March 7 and March 12 this year – and if you fancy marking it by heading out to try a tasty pie in one of the city’s eateries we’ve got you covered.

Here’s some of the best places to enjoy a delicious pie in Sheffield.

True North pubs

Bars under the True North Brew Co. will be getting involved in Pie Week sand are encouraging customers to try one of their “100 per cent homemade, fresh pies.”

Chefs at venues across the city will be serving up classic favourites such as steak and ale as well as some special pie additions to the menu too.

True North sold a whopping 50,000 pies during 2021, despite lockdown and restrictions put in place on the hospitality industry during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sous Chef at The Broadfield, Sonia Gebbie, showed off her impressive pie making skills, making 50 pies an hour to feed hungry Nether Edge punters.

She said: “I’m so excited to get involved in Pie Week this year, after we had to close during the national celebration during 2021 due to Covid-19, I can’t wait to work alongside the chefs to create some exciting specials for Pie Week.”

True North venues participating in pie week are:- The Blue Stoops, The British Oak, The Broadfield, The Crown and Anchor, The Milton Arms, The Old House, The Punch Bowl, Riverside at Kelham Island, The Waggon and Horses and The York.
