Not a formal restaurant , but a great 'take out' place with authentic English pasties and pies .The owner/chef is english , and makes the food as properly crafted "across the pond" . True to form , they also sell 'biscuits and cakes' made there , also .The pizzas are an added treat , and are priced at less than $2.00/slice currently , and after 9:00 p.m. a slice is just $1.50 ! . Whole pies ? .... go there to find out the price or check the website . Limited parking out front , and across from a 'petrol' station . Antonio's ..... who'd have thought ??

Pretty good pies. I wish they had fresh pies, however.

My husband has picked up the pies on a few occasions. They are delicious and fully loaded, we have tried a variety of them and they never fail We have never tried the pizza, either one of us are pizza lovers Besides surprising with these wonderful pies, J always tells how nice the owner is! Thanks for bringing something special to Long Island

A taste from home. Some of the best pies I've had. The fillings both (savory and sweet) and crust are to die for. Also has other British groceries/treats. If you've never had british meat pie this is the place to go. You won't be disappointed.

Went here for the first time. Located in a pizza store, they have a freezer with various pies and sauage rolls. All foods are sealed and labeled according to their name.They also have an assortment of a few other british items such as sweets and condiments, too.Purchased 2 sauage rolls and 1 steak and kidney pie.While the sauague rolls were good, I was not sure the type used. A good savory pork sausage such as a british cumberland or a pork banger is preferred, but this did not quite have the taste of either. Still, it was enjoyable.However, the steak and kidney pie was a complete disappointment. While the Crust was semi ok, the inside consisted of ground beef with a small amount of diced vegetables with no gravy.It was very dry. A good steak and kidney pie should have lamb kidneys and cubed steak pieces, onions in a rich savory brown gravy, and then wrapped in a puff pastry and baked. This missed the mark all the way as it was dry and missing any seasoning, and the pastry was not puff and flaky the way a steak and kidney pie should be. As a result, I'm am hesitant to try any of their other pies such as the mince pies, etc.As they do have some other treats, I'll probably just stick with these and the sauage rolls.Parking is on the street as the shop is on a main road with side street parking.

Ordered delivery through the "Slice" app . After waiting over an hour past the expected delivery time I contacted the app and they told me it was on the way , be there in 10 min. Had to contact the app 3 times when it didn't show and the 3rd time they told me the restaurant would make a fresh order and send it in 30 min . 2 and half hours delivery for one pizza ....... I used the app frequently for other restaurants and if there's an issue the restaurant directly calls. Not Kensington. Shame on them

Good selection of British savory filled 'pastries'. Also offers pizza in the same storefront.
Had the Steak and onion pie. Decent flavor but even after fully cooked, the diced onions still had the raw onion flavor and were still crunchy hence overpowering meat filling flavor. I definitely prefer having cooked onions so the flavor bleeds out well and the onions are soft and less distinct.

My late Father was employed by a British concern for approximately 30 years. I am consequently no stranger to Meat Pies. Recently picked up a Steak & Ale Pie which was absolutely delicious. Have every intention of returning to purchase other offerings as well

Get the bubba special and thank me later! It's a cheap pie way above frozen pizza but not gourmet authentic Italian pizza. Also goes by Antonio's

I'm originally from the UK (Kensington, London...as it so happens), now based in NYC, and have been meaning to try Kensington Pies ever since they opened. I finally had the opportunity this weekend and picked myself up a Cornish pasty, sausage roll, Scotch egg, and pork pie (as well as a steak and onion pie, although that's still in my freezer). As any Brit would, I had preemptively set my expectations low so as not to be disappointed, but am delighted to report that I had no need. Each of the savoury pastries exceeded my expectations - absolutely delicious. If I had to critique, I would say that the sausage roll pastry was a tad dry, but nothing severe. All in all, I cannot recommend highly enough. Can't wait to try out my steak and onion pie, and to pop by again the next time I'm out on Long Island.
