We're getting ever nearer the hallowed day when we'll be able to eat inside again - but one London pub just can't wait any more. The Windmill in Mayfair is opening up its hidden away terrace space tomorrow for a preview launch of its new menu.

Top Scottish chef Mark Greenaway has taken advantage of the various lockdowns to expand his empire south of Hadrian's Wall. He's getting ready to open up a new takeaway pie and mash shop on Villiers Street, next door to Gordon's Wine Bar. And, cunningly, he picked British Pie Week to make his announcement.

If it all sounds a bit coals to Newcastle - the idea of a Scottish chef showing Londoners

If there's one thing that we've missed during this latest lockdown, it's the lack of pies from Calum Franklin and the Holborn Dining room team. But that's now changing with the launch of Rosewood London's at-home delivery services, which included three showstopping pies from their restaurant (just in time for National Pie Week). 

The pies are larger sharing

Just in time for British Pie Week (1-7 March), here's our up to date guide on where to find these pastry masterpieces in London.

If you're looking for silver linings in these incredibly uncertain times we're in, then we think we can provide you with some of that. St John may, like every other London restaurant, have shut up shop but they've got something rather special up their sleeve.

They're now offering an at-home pie service during Lockdown. As they say "In these extraordinary times, we too are embarking on something a

London's food and drink delivery scene has never been more innovative or interesting. We pick out some of the city's new delivery-only businesses you should know about.

Like many Londoners we've been bereft since one of our favourite restaurants, Black Axe Mangal, closed its doors back at the start of Lockdown 1.0 and hasn't yet reopened. But, offering light at the end of a long tunnel, BAM's chef Lee Tiernan has joined forces with chef Will Lewis from Willy’s Pies and Tabasco for a one-off special pie kit.

The Match Day Special

This Mayfair pub, best known for its pies, has been taken over by the team behind the Guinea Grill. We went down to see what changes they'd made.

Over the past few months we've reported on a lot of restaurant closures. But we're personally gutted to have heard the news last night that Piebury Corner will not be reopening either of its restaurants.

We've been following Paul and Nicky Campbell's story ever since they first set up a pie stall around the corner from where we lived, back in

Over the past few weeks, we've been blown away by the many, many efforts from those in the hard hit restaurant community to help others. There have been folk from Michelin-starred restaurants and neighbourhood bistros making food for key workers and the isolated, raising money for the homeless and for those in their own industry and generally more than doing their bit.

So we're not remotely surprised to hear that

File this under "now that's something good to look forward to".

We (and many, many others) have often waxed lyrical about Calum Franklin and his preternaturally gifted skills at pie-making. But how - how? - could we ever hope to get to that level of pie crafting? It looks like the answer is on the way because he's about to release a book that's all about pie craft. 

Called The Pie Room (after the Holborn Dining Room's own

We tell you where to go to eat great pies in London...

What to do if you're a pie restaurant and want to start serving breakfast? Well, you put the whole thing in pastry, of course.

Epic Pies in St Paul's have just unleashed this epic tart as part of their new breakfast menu. Yes, that's bacon, eggs, baked beans (no longer in danger of spilling off the plate), tomato, sausage and mushrooms (with optional hash browns and black pudding) all served up in a huge puff pastry

The famed pastry chef goes cronut-free in Covent Garden, with pies, pithiviers and puddings on the menu. We take a look. 

At this stage, we all know that Calum Franklin at the Holborn Dining Room produces the best pies in London. But sometimes he has to let other people have a go - and that's where his upcoming guest series kicks off. This sees him joining up with a top chef for a new pie collaboration every month - and first in the queue is Tom Kerridge. 

Kerridge will be creating the Steak and Blue Cheese Pie
