Reinventing our beloved Pie.

Ground-breakingly-banging and face-meltingly delicious flavours.\\xa0

The Pies looked are art and architecture meets food.\\xa0

Like ancient, baroque cathedrals from Rome or Paris or Milan or London.\\xa0

2018, I remember stuffing my face at The Pie Room.

Warm waves of lusciously lucid memories are warming me as I type this on a blisteringly cold 8am train to Waterloo.\\xa0

Calum was Executive Chef of the Holborn Dining room and founder of The Pie Room inside prodigious Rosewood hotel.

LOVED this conversation.\\xa0
