Mother Mash

Had to get another pot pie since it was my last day in London and I was extremely excited after having my first pot pie for lunch. This was double the price and double the disappointment. I ordered the veggie pot pie with liquor gravy and cheesy mustard mash. I love that they let you customize your order but the quality isn’t up to par. The pie was dry and bland. The mash was not cheesy — just a strong mustard taste. As for the gravy, it gave the pie an off taste so I mixed it with the mash.

Fantastic. Just what we needed on our next to the last night in London. I wish we had gone earlier in our trip so we could have gone more than once.

I just love this place they serve mash potato and pies… What more could you want in life… I ended up getting the cheesy mash with chicken, bacon and leek pie… And since I walked so much I opted for the Apple pie with custard for dessert which was just perfect and felt home made. Certainly recommend dropping by here for sure if you are near Soho. They also now offer breakfast options…

I ordered the bubble and squeak mash. Soo good! The london sausage had a ton of flavor and was surprisingly not greasy. The farmers gravy was insanely tasty. My girlfriend ordered the mustard mash. She liked it but it didn’t come close in taste to the bubbles n squeak. Her minced meat pie was overall good. Crust was flaky and tasty but meat could have used a bit more flavor. Service was friendly and European style. Place may get packed, but imo its worth to wait for a spot.

London is famous for their mash and pies, but which one is actually good? Before going on exploring on foot, I’ve decided to get some help from Unilocal,after many considerations I’ve decided on Mother Mash (the name says it all).
They have variations of mash and gravy to go with. You can choose either sausages or pies.
Their mash is still the highlight to the dish. Worth visiting.

So in London you eat bangers and mash, right?
We took a causal stroll thru SOHO and we stumbled in to this amazing place, staff was wonderful. Food was out of this world.
The waiter heard us talking and ask where we were from, we finished the night listening to the beach boys and talking about Southern California with him and made us feel right at home.

HEADS UP TOURISTS! THIS PLACE IS YOUR JAM!
I arrived to London and with anguish saw that most of the top rated restos in the city don’t serve up the ‘typical British cuisine’ one is looking to sample as they’re touring about. Thankfully I chanced upon Mother Mash and can now depart London confident that I have had a taste of the local cuisine.
I love how the menu is set-​up; (1) choose your mash, (2) chose your pie and (3) chose your gravy. There were tons of veggie options at each step which was really fantastic. The waitress was sweet and quick to guide us «pie & mash rookies». The food came out quickly and really was fantastic. I got the cheese & mustard mash which had an amazing kick to it! The Mediterranean vegetable pie was flavourful and perfectly cooked (I was worried the insides would be soggy or mushy but they were perfection). It was all topped off with the onion gravy which wasn’t too strong and paired well with my pie and mash choices.
i ended my meal with ginger bread and custard which could have been a little sweeter. I would recommend going with the ice cream rather than the custard. I was feeling adventurous with the custard but it wasn’t particularly to my taste — perhaps a little too authentic for a foreigner.
Anyways all of this is to say that if you want to try some proper pie and mash I would seriously recommend this spot! It’s not far from Oxford Circus and will really hit the spot!

After reading some good reviews on this sausage and mash restaurant. I went there to experience myself… the reviews was absolutely right… it was very tasty and delicious. The menu come with different choice of mash, sausages and gravy sauce. Try to avoid lunch time to go there as it is always busy. Also they do take away for those who work at surrounding area. A lovely traditional British restaurant and reasonable price. I would go again.

Thanks Unilocal for recommending this place!
My American boyfriend was visiting and wanted to sample some ‘real British’ pie, sausage and mash, so we looked up the reviews and picked out this place together, as the glowing comments sounded promising. I was a little apprehensive as my only experience of sausage and mash was watery, pale school dinners, so naturally I didn’t quite share his excitement.
We arrived at 5pm on a Monday with the place to ourselves and were seated in one of the little cubbyhole booths — I imagine this place would be so cramped when it gets busy, as there isn’t that much space! Staff seemed friendly and polite enough and we were served promptly with no issues at all. I did like the ‘pick-​and-​mix’ style of the menu, allowing you to pick and choose your mash, main and gravy for a brilliantly custom experience. There are a generous number of vegetarian options, so any non-​meat-​eater definitely won’t feel left out. I decided to go for cheesy mash, Lincolnshire sausage and traditional gravy, whilst my boyfriend opted for the same but with an Aberdeen Angus pie in addition to sausages, with mushy peas on the side (we were so hungry after walking around London all day).
The food was everything I could have hoped for and more, a far cry from the grey dinner hall mashed potato and sausage! Mash was creamy and delicious, the sausages and gravy were flavourful, and I could have easily had more (although my portion was just enough for me). My boyfriend is a huge foodie and can be very critical of what he eats (not to mention spoiled for choice at home) — he said it was incredible and his favourite meal of the trip. Saying a lot, as we’d had some truly excellent other food that I assumed couldn’t be beat! We decided to skip dessert as it would’ve been too much, paying less than £30 between us, very reasonable for such a great restaurant meal right in the middle of London.
I’d absolutely recommend Mother Mash to anyone else looking for some incredible and very British pie and mash in the middle of London — I promise you won’t be disappointed!

THIS is the place I take people from out of town. The great thing about Mother Mash is it’s soooooo British (isn’t it? Or am I confused? To me it is anyways) because it’s got all the stuff– mashed potatoes, peas, bubbles and squeak, sausage, pies, beer… etc. and it tastes WONDERFUL. There’s those pubs that serve all those things but the food is only sub-​par but people go there because it’s British. Mother Mash serves excellent food and the menu is really cool because you can customize it the way you like.
First you pick your mash– they’ve got a wide variety between mashed taters with horseradish, mustard, bubbles and squeak (veggies), sweet potato… etc. And then you pick your main– a wide selection of sausages and pies (vegetarian options for both), and then your sauce. It’s wonderful!
The location is equally wonderful– in Carnaby Court right off Regent Street. We’ve been here a few times and the wait staff is always great.
I go vegetarian and I think it’s delicious– the bubbles and squeak and horseradish mash is my favorite, and the veggie sausage or goat cheese pie are winners.

On the recommendation of some Local Guides we decided to stop here for a quick bite before going out for the evening.
All in all? If you want pie and mash then it’s a pretty good place to come. (They also do sausages) I ordered the cheddar mash with the steak pie and the traditional gravy with a side of cauliflower cheese. The pie had quite a lot of filling (always a bonus), the gravy was tasty and the mash was really flavourful too. They do offer the option of ‘smooth’ or normal mashed potato. I went with smooth and do wish that I had gone with the other option as it was just a little too pureed for my liking. I didn’t really rate the cauliflower cheese.
In terms of décor and comfort, it is pretty much a fast food place and you’re not going to spend a lot of time here but for a quick, filling bite on a cold evening? It’s pretty good.

This place is decent for bangers and mash here in London.
Service is attentive and the food came out pretty fast.
I had the sweet potato mash and opted for the angus steak pie with the farmer’s gravy. This was my first time having this type of food. It was really filling, especially for a cold night like this. My bf had three different kinds of sausages and they were super tasty. The sweet potato went well with the farmer’s gravy. It wasn’t too sweet and more savory. The pie crust was crispy on top and then still held up decently as it soaked in the gravy. The steak was okay tasting, it kind of got lost in the gravy and sweet potato though.
Portion sizes are decent and I felt good leaving. They do have desserts and sides you can always add as well as the usual tea, OJ and apple available.

Had casual dinner here last night with my parents. Cozy place with comfort food for very fair London prices! Located in central part of Soho and close by to a lot of other hot restaurants so it can be easy to miss.
The three of us got (for ~40£ overall):
— Colcannon + Pork & Leek Sausage + Farmer’s Gravy
— Colcannon + London Smokey + Farmer’s Gravy
— Champ + Steak & Ale Pie + Traditional Gravy
— Sticky Toffee Pudding
The family consensus was that London Smokey was the best in flavor, the Pork & Leek tasted funny and wasn’t quite meaty enough, and the Steak & Ale was a solid dish to order if you’ve never tried it (albeit a tad salty). The potatoes were easily the best part. The sticky toffee pudding was delish and comes with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream or custard, though we were struggling to finish because of the entrée portion size!
I usually don’t like places that ask you to pick your own combination, but Mother Mash hit the spot.

If you’re a foodie (read: fat ass) like me, you probably plan your vacations around your meals. The reason you travel is to taste food from the local cuisine, hole in the wall restaurants, and Michelin chefs. But there are also times when you have a day full of other touristy activities and you just want to grab a quick bite, but not waste a meal on a sandwich or something.
Enter Mother Mash.
This place is unassuming, delicious, cheap, and fast, exactly what you want when you’re transitioning from a hectic morning at Harrod’s to an equally hectic afternoon at the Tower of London. Is it healthy… no…but you’re on vacation, so get some bangers and mash with extra gravy and enjoy!

Really beautiful plates of food!
The mash is definitely the star here for me.
I ordered the Goat Cheese and Butternut squash pie
and it wasn’t my particular slice,
but I enjoyed my Champ mash all the same.
What I do wish they had were veg options for the sausages.
That might be meat blasphemy,
but I felt left out of the modern bangers and mash experience.
My SO was in love with his plate
of Lincolnshire and Bubble and Squeak with Traditional gravy.
He lapped up every bit.
Great for veggie nommers and carnivores alike.
Again, really wish there was a veggie sausage,
because I want to pretend, okay?

We were in Covent Garden and I wanted some comfort food… looked up Unilocal and with the positive reviews of Mother Mash and was not disappointed.
It’s more of a revised sausages/​mash/​meat pie place, so with that in mind I ordered the Chicken, Leek and Bacon Mash with mustard and Farmers Gravy (red wine and mushroom reduction). Pie crust was flaky and I could taste the mustard in the mash. Farmers gravy made it a rich and delicious dish. It was finished with London Pride beer and hit the spot on a gray and cold day.
Service was efficient, toilet was one of the smallest I’ve ever been in (even for a fun sized person like me), but it was clean so I’m not complaining.

So I’ve always said that the English do comfort food better than any other place. Meats, gravies, mash, pies, things to make you warm and happy. And this is true.
And Mother Mash nails. it.
It’s a small spot in Soho but when you’re there, you are very happy. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is charming. I love their bangers and mash (and love saying bangers and mash) and love that it’s only about £10.
It can be loud but it’s also quite fun. I’d be back any time!

I seldom have a craving for such fatty, filling, stodgy English food, but last week was an exception.
Mother mash is a small unassuming restaurant which serves traditional English fare with a gastro pub-​feel. Conveniently located in Soho, this would be great for an autumnal dinner to recover from Oxford/​Regent street shopping. There is ample seating inside and a couple of tables outside.
The menu is simple but good. Bangers and mash or pie and mash. Choose your pie or bangers, choose your mash. The cheesy mustard mash looked particularly interesting. I went for the vegetarian butternut squash pie with sweet potato mash and onion gravy. For about a tenner, a filling meal though not too stodgy, the pie was very tasty and service was pretty quick. My friend got a meaty option and also really enjoyed it.
Friendly service, quite loud, I would come back.

This is a little eatery tucked between a several other restaurants and shops in this very walkable strip of Soho. I wanted to try some traditional British food– participial, pies and mash. Unilocal recommeded Mother Mash which was perfect since I was staying in Soho. This is a small casual spot, and seating is tight.
I had the steak pie and mash. It was such warm comforting goodness! Also got to have a bite of the mash and sausages– really good, but mine was better. Get the pie!
Service was really friendly and I enjoyed a glass of good red. Great price and over all experience.

I was visiting London and the SoHo area so I decided to check out this restaurant based on the reviews. I wanted to check out this place because I wanted to eat something British. Overall I thought the food was ok but nothing great. It didn’t seem special or different from anything else that I had eaten before in the US. The food wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t that great or amazing.
If you have a limited amount of time in London, I would use a meal eating somewhere else. There wasn’t anything unique about this place and there’s so many other good options in the city.

Liebe Leute,
wenn ihr Lust habt auf morden interpretierte englische Küche, dann ist das euer Laden nach dem Bummel durch Soho.
Die Gerichte basieren auf dem Kartoffelbrei (Mash), den es in allerlei Variationen gibt. Dazu hatte ich eine vegetatische Pie (Pastete), die ebenfalls sehr schmackhaft war und eine braune, ebenfalls vegetarische und überaus aromatische Sauce.
Für die Gegend zudem sehr preiswert!
Einen Punkt Abzug, weil es halt keine Spitzenküche ist.

So solls sein! Britisches Essen im Zentrum, zu einem leistbaren Preis in sensationeller Qualität. Reservieren oder probieren ist die Devise. Wir hatten Glück einen Platz einfach so zu bekommen, nach 10minütiger Wartezeit. Das Bier durfte man vorkosten, wenn man sich nicht sicher war. Dafür gibts extra Punkte.

Wahrgewordenes angelsächsisches Kultessen
und das in Soho, dem Shopping– und Touristenmagneten der Stadt. In einer kleinen Seitenstrasse der berühmten Carnaby Street befindet sich dieses zumindest in UK bekannte Kleinod der bürgerlichen Kochkunst. Jetzt könnte man fragen was nun so besonderes an Kartoffelbrei und Co. sein kann. Geht zu Mother Mash, dann wisst Ihrs. Es gibt hier zwei Menü-​Varianten zum selbst zusammenstellen. Es gibt mehrere Mash-​Varianten (mit versch. Käsesorten, Lauch, Sahne und mein Favoritmit körnigem Senf und Cheddar und natürlich weitere Kombinationen) unter denen man wählen kann. Hinzu kammt Gravy, also die eingekochte Sauce in ebenso vielfältigen Ausführungen (mein Tipp: traditional) und diversen hausgemachten Pies oder Bratwürsten
Das sieht z.B. so aus:
(Siehe Foto unten)
Das ganze kostet dann mit Würsten 6,95 oder mit einem hausgemachten Pie 7,95 Pfund! Ebenso traditionelle Side Dishes wie mushy peas, french beans with bacon und andere blähende Gemüsebeilagen können für einen geringen Obolus hinzubestellt werden.
Ist also preislich als günstig anzusehen und definitiv einen Besuch wert. Die Sitzplätze im Inneren sind allerdings sehr begrenzt und der Ansturm gerade während der Hauptzeiten beachtlich. Aus diesem Grund bestellen auch sehr viele take away und essen vor der Tür.
Gerade bei der Erkenntnis der meisten Yuppies und Großstadthelden, auch wieder beim Essen zurück zu seinen Wurzeln zu finden, trifft dieser Laden genau ins schwarze und hat damit offensichtlich deutlichen Erfolg. Anders als in den meisten Pubs wo man auch mit traditioneller Küche prahlt wird hier Qualität zum günstigen Preis geliefert. Die Besinnung auf das wirkliche und ureigenste Traditionsgericht der Insel lässt keinen Platz mehr für fettige Fishn chips oder über Stunden warmgehaltene Pastry!
(K)ein Geheimtipp mehr aber eine gute Möglichkeit sich vom Sightseeing oder Kampfshoppen zu erholen und wie bei Muttern zu dinieren!
