Traditional pie and mash in Greenwich

Visited to try the traditional London pie, mash & liquor and loved it! Great canteen style place with a huge queue out the door. I love that even these old fashioned institutions are catering to vegans now!

I very, very, rarely give 5 stars, but this place deserves it. This is based on the food, price, location, and atmosphere. Having walked around the park for an hour, the ladies we were with were peckish and required the toilet. We knew about this place and thought we would give it a try. We had to que in the doorway to be served, but the que went down very fast, and there seemed to be plenty of places to eat. There we side rooms and an upstairs area to eat. The menu was limited to about 15 combinations of pie and mash, but enough choice for most people. We had beef pie mash and gravey for £4.50, and you could add a drink, beans, or peas for a £1 each. You could choose onion or parsley gravey to accompany your meal. On the tables, there was salt, pepper, standard, and chilli vinegar. We were served with a smile, and the food was delicious. My son in law had jellied eels as well for an additional £1.50. For the location, the value for money was exceptional. It's great to see a food outlet not overcharging due to its location. 5 stars give it a try!

This family run restaurant with fantastic old school ambiance is always well worth a stop. Tasty, traditional East End pie & mash & plenty of vegetarian options (& of course traditional eel for the adventurous). Don’t forget pudding; they also sell gorgeous sweet pies & delicious crumble! This is the place for a true taste of authentic, traditional East London cuisine.

Visited on 12 June 2023. 5 stars for the prices, friendly staff and good quality food. 4 stars for the traditional taste which, as a non-Londoner, I had a bit of trouble appreciating it (especially the peas). Overall a very pleasant visit. Please visit to have a taste of traditional pies and mash. Recommended!

Delicious. I can't wait to go back and try all the other flavours of pies. It's not expensive. And the staff were very friendly. Don't make the same mistake I made for dessert. I got the sticky toffee pudding. I should have gotten a crumble or a fruit pie or bread and butter pudding which are all handmade and it was even written on the specials board. But I chose 1 of the 2 desserts not handmade. It was okay the sticky toffee pudding. But I had buyers remorse. Ah well. Next time I go I'll definitely get a crumble or fruit pie.

Traditional and freshly made pies, staff that call you "my love", quick service. What more can you ask?

This is a great stop for lunch while in Greenwich. The pies are good (but not great: consider using the table vinegar to add more flavour). The service is fantastic. The portions are generous. Good value.
