With bargain prices and proper British food, this pie and mash house - signed simply 'The Pie Shop' - is something of an anomaly among the tourist traps of Covent Garden Market. It's housed in one of the refurbished arches, keeping the traditional exterior and flagstone floor, but the fixtures and fittings are stylish and modern: bright white tiles, polished marble tables and a shiny aluminium counter.
On a busy summer day, a firm pie crust seasoned with rosemary enclosed a hearty chicken and mushroom filling, accompanied by well-whipped, buttery mash. Rich red-wine gravy arrived separately in a miniature jug. Unfortunately, a counter-side fan did little to alleviate the sweltering heat in the small room, and a soundtrack of brash dance music only increased our desire for a swift exit. A few tables outside provide an escape, if only to view the market's stream of ambling tourists.
