Reviews For Cathedral Pie House

First time in the pie and mash shop on the high street. Authentic pie and mash isn't easy to find, lots of pretenders and tryers around Kent. Some come close but not quite there. Was in the Rochester area so thought I'd try. I spoke to the young man about his recipe and was impressed but even more so when I got my plate of 2 pies, single mash and liquor. I was very impressed with the whole meal. Excellent pies, liquor and mash as you'll see in my photo. Will definately eat here again and have told family and friends to try.

I've wanted to try this place for ages, two visits in two days says it all. Excellent pies, liquor really traditional, the mash brilliant. I enjoyed the hot eels, not so keen on the jellied. I also took a takeaway. One of the best if not the best I've been too.

Absolutely love the food here. The pies are definitely one of the best I've had. Very traditional feel to the place and great friendly service too.

Super tasty pie and mash. Brought my mum here for a birthday lunch. Pies were beautiful a nice crunch on the outside, full of meat and soft base. Mash the smoothest fresh mash I've eaten in a pie and mash shop(that's alot!) And liquor was perfect! Ignore the previous review about the pie tasting like cat food what a load of rubbish. It was absolutely beautiful the chilli vinegar was on point. Owners friendly, chatty and doing a fantastic job from one business to another keep it up Thanks again.

Love this place. It is cash only, so be prepared. There is a cash machine in Blue Boar Lane (close) but it charges. Bring cash and enjoy the mash!

Authentic East-end pie, mash and liquor at a reasonable price. The service is very friendly and nothing is too much for them. It's clean and highly hospitable and has become a regular treat for myself when in town. I highly and unequivocally recommend.

I liked it, lot's. I took a friend who lives not too far away who didn't know about the Cathedral Pie House and he said he'd definitely be going back. I do recommend popping in for a bite to eat if you are in the area.
