In Short
Cheeky Pies Pantry in the Weidenallee is a little piece of Britain in Hamburg. With handmade pies, a wide range of craft beer-inspired sauces and homemade drinks, this authentic British restaurant delivers a delicious culinary experience. Despite the smoky smell from the neighboring bar, the cozy eatery offers unique pies inspired by traditional recipes that will delight meat lovers and vegans alike. The desserts, from the Miss Cheeky Sundae to the Sticky Toffee Pudding, are a sweet highlight for all connoisseurs.
Authentically British and Welcoming
With its British flair, the small, quaint restaurant in the Weidenallee in Hamburg transports you straight to the coziness of England. The friendly staff contribute significantly to the feel-good atmosphere, although the smell of smoke, presumably from the bar next door, is unfortunately a little annoying. There are not many tables inside, so we strongly recommend reserving a table in advance. In summer, there is even a large outdoor area where you can make yourself comfortable.
Pies – Traditional Craftsmanship
As the only store in Hamburg that offers pies, the Cheeky Pies Pantry delights with its handmade delicacies. The industrial interior looks “worn”, but is part of the Pantry’s style and creates a cozy atmosphere in the small restaurant.
We chose the following drinks and dishes that day:
- Homemade Earl Grey Fizzy Ice Tea (4.90 €)
- Lemon, Lime & Bitters (4.90 €)
- Full Monty – Pie of your choice with mashed potatoes, mashed peas, gravy and fried onions (14.50 €)
- With Steak & Ale Pie – Braised beef steak, caramelized onions, carrots, black pepper and thyme in a craft ale gravy
- The Sally – Pie of your choice with Cheeky Green Salad and pink coleslaw, served with gravy (14.50 €)
- With No-Steak & Mushroom Pie – Roasted jackfruit, mushrooms, caramelized onions, carrots in a creamy Guinness sauce

Diverse Selection, Authentic Taste
The pies are not only available in the restaurant, but can also be purchased frozen to take home. From Butter Chicken Curry Pie to Cauliflower Cheese Pie, they offer a wide range of flavors. We particularly liked the jackfruit in the No-Steak & Mushroom Pie, which comes very close to a meat dish in the vegan option. The pies can be ordered individually or as part of a menu. If you visit the Cheeky Pies Pantry for lunch, you can save around €3.40 per meal with the lunch deals!
Aromatic Sauces and Homemade Drinks
The craft beer-based sauces give the pies a unique taste without the beer standing out too much. The sauce always comes separately next to the pies, so you can decide for yourself how much sauce you want on your pie. The homemade drinks, such as the Earl Grey Fizzy Ice Tea, round off the culinary experience.
We really enjoyed all the dishes and the drinks. The Steak & Ale Pie had a little more flavor than the vegan option, which made it a little bit better for us. The salad that came with “The Sally” menu option was really tasty. It was topped with pomegranate, which went really well with the dressing.
Sweet Temptation
Cheeky Pies Pantry also offers a large selection of desserts. We have opted for:
- Miss Cheeky Sundae – Organic vanilla soft serve ice cream, chocolate cookie crumble, chocolate sauce, salted caramel sauce and marshmallows (7.50 €)
- Sticky Toffee Pudding – Traditional British date cake, soaked in caramel sauce, served warm, with vanilla ice cream (7.50 €)
Both desserts are very sweet – so really only for those with a sweet tooth. But we really enjoyed them. The sticky toffee pudding in particular, a classic in the UK, had an interesting consistency. The caramel sauce added the finishing touch to the pudding.
Our Verdict
Cheeky Pies Pantry delivers an authentic British taste experience. The variety of pies, the intense flavors and the warm service make the restaurant a real insider tip in Hamburg.
