    The Higgidy Arms - a one day pub takeover

    Following the sell-out success of their 2025 pub takeover, Higgidy, the maker of delicious Pies will be opening, ‘The Higgidy Arms’ again for just one day this October.

    ‘The Higgidy Arms’ will once again offer hungry lunchtime diners the chance to book a table and tuck into a premium Higgidy pie, served with a choice of side dishes and, in a perfect pairing, a pint of Guinness, for just £8 per person for early bird bookings until 9th October or £10 per person after this.  Take-away hot and cold pies will also be available for just £2 each.

    Menu Line-Up, Pairings and Takeaway Options

    Located at The Queens Head on Theobalds Road, the pub pop up is taking bookings via Eventbrite for two servings, at 12pm and 1.15pm, selling five of their deliciously tasty pies, accompanied by a choice of mash or fries and two tasty veg side dishes, gravy and a pint of Guinness or Guinness 0.0.  With Higgidy’s culinary team leading the charge in the kitchen, the five pies on offer will include Higgidy’s Slow Cooked Steak & Guinness Pie; Creamy Chicken & Sauteed Leek with white wine; Slow-Cooked Steak, Red Wine & Bacon Pie with chestnut mushrooms; and two veggie options:  Spinach, Greek Feta & Pine Nut Pie with roasted red peppers; and the new Barbers Vintage Cheddar, Potato & Leek pie.

    ‘The Higgidy Arms’ will also be offering all five pies hot or cold to take away from 12-4pm too for just £2 each, filling the air with the irresistible aroma of hot pies and creating a warm, welcoming destination on a crisp cold Autumn Day.  Britain is a nation of pie lovers, spending a huge £1billion a year on pies with the total pie market volume rising by almost 30% in October vs September, so this one day pie pop up is well timed to celebrate the nation’s love of this popular dish.

    ‘The Higgidy Arms’ will be dressed to impress, to entice diners in and deliver eye catching social media content.
