if you are a Pie & Mash lover visiting East London put this place on your bucket list Manze’s truly is the best Pie & Mash I have tried, with a traditional feel to the interior. For years we have had lunch here whilst doing our last minute shop on Xmas eve. It’s our start to Christmas. you’ll not be disappointed.

The best in London, after the sad demise of Cookes’ on Kingsland Road.

not too bad, though not in my opinion in the same league as manze’s bermondsy, cookes’s in broadway market cookes’s hoxton st market. and all pale into incignificants compared to the old cookes’s in kingsland high st in dalston, sadly no longer in existance. if i had to pick a current champion, it wiuld be hoxton st market !!!

I love to eat Asian food while ignoring the good and hearty cockney food from my background. Yeah I was born within the bells… Unlike some who think any Londoner can be a cockney! Well L Manzes is situated on the High street which also houses a fabulous street Market. Seriously this place is a treasure in London because it has some of the best preserved interiors and shopfronts in London. It’s the real deal not some fake Victoriana! Anyway back to the food, there is not much choice as it’s mainly various petmutations of jellied eels, mash and pies. I don’t care for the look of eels in jelly. But I chose a large pie(choice of steak and onion or steak and kidney) served with mash and parsley liquor. The pie was meaty with lovely mashed potatoes with a generous serving of parsley sauce. Luvverly jubbly! I’m on the dog and bone to tell everyone about this little gem in the east…

This is the world famous Pie’n’mash shop much loved by ex-pat Londoners,(google it, you’ll see) Proper cockney, it’s hardly changed in my lifetime or my mums(she’s 78) Still has the marble and mirrors, but thankfully not the stall outside where a man in a bloody apron butchered live eels! The pies are delicious, and the mysterious green liquor(to be mixed with vinegar) added to mashed potatoes make a feast fit for a(Pearly) king. They also sell jellied eels, an acquired taste, and sweet pies and custard, if you need a dessert. If you crave a bit of Cockney nostalgia, this is the best!
