Absolutely delicious gluten free steak and brandy pie. It’s a few weeks since we ate there, and I’m still dreaming about it. The gf are much smaller than the regular pies, but definitely not lacking in flavour.

Delicious gluten free alchemy- how do they do it! Highly recommend. Purchased tasty bacon and egg pie with crispy flakey layered pastry (reminiscent of gluten but somehow not) and soft scrumptious cinnamon rolls. Haven’t been able to have these in years- thank you Bubbles!

Anna made two cakes for our wedding. One was a two tiered cake with two flavours and the other was gluten-free and vegan. Both cakes were absolutely delicious and everyone loved them. Working with Anna was easy and communication was great. I can't recommend her more, especially if you have allergen requirements. Photos in this review were taken by Robin + Andie

Their reputation precedes them at the Sheffield Pie Shop. Everyone knows to swing by here any time you are on a trip over to the wild Worst Coast. That being said the experience has chopped and changed over the years since I have been going there. The pies have always been phenomenal with a great range, however they are NOT receptive to special dietary needs (if you are gluten free this might be that once a year treat..). Despite the great rep they get, I have noticed the service go downhill over the last few years. Staff seem grumpy (and who can blame them with how busy it gets) - but come on guys. Lots of them seem like they don’t want to be there and get frustrated if you want more than one pie (maybe get a few staff a stool to sit on so they don’t have the unbearable pain of bending to reach in the hot hutch too many times!). Will always back the pies but have been let down by the service a few too many times now.
