confidence 70%

Pieminister offers a separate gluten-free menu with several pie options (meat, chicken, veggie), gluten-free gravy, and sides. Staff are generally knowledgeable and will flag GF food, change gloves, and use separate trays. The kitchen is shared, however: GF pies are cooked in the same oven as regular pies (on a separate tray or top rack), and some locations warn that sides may carry cross-contamination risk. A few coeliac reviewers report no symptoms, while others note the shared oven and small kitchen as concerns. Not a dedicated GF facility.

Pieminister has several vegan pie options, including Mooless Moo, Chana Rama, and Mock-A-Doodle, along with vegan gravy and vegan mash available on request. Vegan cheese and a vegan pecan pie sundae are also offered. The menu is clearly labelled. The kitchen is shared and pies are cooked in the same oven as non-vegan items, so cross-contamination is possible. HappyCow reviewers confirm good vegan choices but note limited variety at times.
