Higgidy to serve up pies in London pub takeover

Pie producer Higgidy is opening a pub, “The Higgidy Arms” – a dedicated retreat for pie lovers – for one day only, on Thursday October 23.

‘The Higgidy Arms’ will offer hungry lunchtime diners the chance to book a table and tuck into a premium Higgidy pie, served with a choice of side dishes and, in a perfect pairing, a pint of Guinness, for just £10 per person.  Take-away hot and cold pies will also be available for just £2 each.

Located at 64 Theobalds Road, London, the pub pop up is taking bookings via Eventbrite for two servings, at 12pm and 1.15pm, selling five of their deliciously tasty pie range, accompanied by a choice of mash or fries and two tasty veg side dishes, gravy and a pint of Guinness. With Higgidy’s culinary team leading the charge in the kitchen, the five pies on offer will include Higgidy’s brand new Steak & Guinness Pie (below), Creamy Chicken & Sauteed Leek with white wine, Slow-Cooked Steak, Red Wine & Bacon Pie with chestnut mushrooms, and two veggie options: Spinach, Greek Feta & Pine Nut Pie with roasted red peppers and Three Cheese, Cauliflower & Broccoli Pie with garlic & thyme crumb.

‘The Higgidy Arms’ comes after the success of Higgidy’s first bricks and mortar venture, a Pop Up Pie Shop to mark National Pie Day in January 2025.  The shop, in situ for just one day, saw both hot and cold pies sell out 1000 pies in 4 hours.

Higgidy’s, Pamela Bower-Nye, said: “It was fantastic to see queues around the block at our pop up shop earlier in the year.  We hope that our pub experience in October will be just as popular and can’t wait to welcome customers in from the cold to enjoy a hearty pie lunch, served up by our expert team.”

Brits spend a huge £1billion a year on pies, and the one day pop up pub will celebrate the nation’s love of this popular dish.
