Cockneys Pie & Mash

I had been craving Pie & Mash for days. Finally got it today. Went in and ordered for takeaway ,double pie & double mash with gravy and liquor, and single pie & double mash and gravy. Not all for me, honest. The pies were crispy on top and the mash was creamy . The gravy and liquor added to the full effect. Absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend this place for your traditional cockney pie & mash. If you are ever visiting Portobello Rd make sure you stop here for some fantastic food and the staff are so polite.

1 mash 1 pie at 4.5pounds, so very reasonably priced. Tasted great with vinegar and pepper. Told the lady whom I assume is the owner that it was my 1st time eating mash & pie as it was my first time in London. She said the shop is around for 38 years. The place is a simple looking shop which you probably eat and go and around 9mins walk from Portobello Market. Only cash accepted.

As a born and bred cockney, I had my reservations about this place with it being on the other side of London, but… WOW! The other half (another Londoner) and I have been to many if not all of our great city’s pie and mash shops, with varying opinions (nothing beats your local one in general). We both agreed this was the best one we have tried! The pies are tasty with great pastry, the liquor flavourful and the mash light and fluffy and SEASONED. The staff are so warm and friendly and the tea is of top notch, metal teapot brewed, builder’s standard! Can’t wait to come back, but I need to waddle off down the road now…
