| - Pittsburgh is not a city with deep English ancestral roots. Indeed, while it's common to find people of Irish, Eastern European (primarily Polish), and Italian descent (along with the accompanying eateries to match), Pittsburgh was not home to a lot of immigrants from England. So naturally, of course my great-grandfather settled here in 1907 coming from Devonport, England...
I was excited to try this place given my own English roots, and I've always been curious about English food. My own grandfather loved Scotch Eggs, so when I showed up here, I decided I had to give it a go. The prices here are very low, and seating is limited here, so I thought best just to get my order to go. I picked up my scotch egg along with a Pork and Stilton Pie (I love blue cheese and I made sure to ask that no onions be added as I simply can't stomach them. I was assured there would be none). Picked up my order and ate it on the go. The scotch egg was great and if you add a little hot sauce to it, it's even better. I was a little bit disappointed in the pie, as there seemed a lack of Stilton in it when I hoped for a greater amount, but perhaps next time I'll ask for a bit more cheese in my pie. Still, I would definitely come here again and I'm very curious about their breakfast offerings, of which there seem to be ample. Food is good, but my advice to you is just order it to go and continue exploring the city because only about 15-20 seats exist... While I don't think English traditional fare will ever supplant some of our fair city's other food passions (especially pizza), this place is a well worth the effort stop in exploring Pittsburgh's international fare.
