British Pie Week 2026: London’s Best Pies

Whether it’s a suet pudding, a golden-crusted steak number or a fruity pudding, there’s nothing like a good, hearty pie. Although the dish can be traced back to Ancient Rome, over the years it has become known as one of Britain’s national dishes – so much so that one, the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie, has gained official PGI protected status. And what better time to celebrate (and eat) the staple dish than during British Pie Week? The important culinary event returns to the capital from 3 – 9 March 2026, and restaurants are getting involved with special pop-ups and creations, while others serve up legendary pies year-round. Here are the best pies in London to try during British Pie Week and beyond.
