The Pie Den tells the story of Dennis ‘Den’ Newman as he prepares for his first pie & mash sale in Bermondsey. The film explores the obsession many Londoners have with this dish, celebrating its community significance and reminding us that it’s never too late to follow your ambitions.
This film was funded entirely by friends, family and the Bermondsey community.
