"Close to Covent Garden can be found The White Lion pub. Upstairs from the delightful pub is a treasure of a restaurant you might easily miss. The Pie Shop is a small, 9 tables mostly for 2, plus a small bar, in a room most might consider a reasonable sized front room, restaurant. Meals are prepared on the floor above and served via dumb waiter to the restaurant floor. To say the space available to this establishment is restricted is an understatement though customers would not think so given the excellent service and quality of fare offered. The staff are great, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable, never backward at giving their own recommendations off the menu. Speaking of the menu, speciality delicious pies are rotated by day on the menu, also offering, perhaps the best, Fish Chips I've tasted back in the UK. Feel free to disagree, but I've tasted a few in different countries and so no slouch, though it is down to personal preference. The mushy peas did sway that opinion. My companion started with the Fish Pie, accompanied by Bulmers, Old Mout Cider, and ended with a delightful Sticky Toffee Pudding with custard, wherby yours truly washed the main course down with some London Pride (on draught of course) and rounded the meal with an Bramleys Apple Pie with custard. Two happy travellers on a trip back home were well sated with the food, drink and atmosphere that would be hard to beat in this modern day eat-on-the-go society. Definitely ately a place to visit if you are hungry and want great home-cooked style food with a good choice of drnks."
