A Grade II-listed Victorian time capsule serving the quintessential working-class London meal of pie, mash, and liquor amidst white tiles and wooden benches.

Ordering Strategy

Order at the counter (a 'single' is one pie, a 'double' is two). It is imperative to drown your food in the chilli vinegar and white pepper provided on the tables, otherwise, it may taste under-seasoned.

What to order

Safe first

Pie and Mash

The quintessential London meal featuring a 'crisp pastry lid' that is 'paratha-esque' with 'rich beef mince in a light gravy.' It is best enjoyed with a 'good glug of chilli vinegar' to cut through the richness.

Hungry

Double Single

The regular's order consisting of two pies and one portion of mash 'all drenched in liquor.' It provides a substantial, 'hearty meal' that reviewers say is 'cheaper than a McDonald's' and far more satisfying.

Wildcard

Jam Roly Poly and Custard

An elusive 'dream' finish for those who aren't too full from their pies. It represents the ultimate 'old school' British dessert experience that pairs perfectly with the shop's nostalgic atmosphere.

Wildcard

Jellied Eels

A 'famous' institution staple that takes diners 'down memory lane.' While polarizing, they are described by fans as 'excellent' and an essential part of the 'full works' alongside the pies.

What to skip

Skip
Eels with liquor and mash— Critics describe the eels as 'white bony things' and the dish as having 'fairly much nothing' in terms of taste, likening the experience to 'school dinners where taste goes to die.'

Good to know

The Tower Bridge Road branch is the oldest (est. 1902) and most atmospheric. The Deptford branch is set to close in March 2025. It is a fast-dining spot, not a place to linger.
