Harden's survey result
Summary
“My go-to pie-and-mash shop: nuff said!” – this sizable (100 covers) family-run shop has a heritage in the area stretching back to 1890 and is one of the better purveyors of this London staple (of which about three dozen remain). You don’t have to go for the traditional mince with ‘liquor’ (eel-based parsley sauce) variety: they have vegan and other options too.
Summary
“Lovely chilli beef pie ’n’ mash and baked beans… and a fabulous crumble for dessert” – such are the culinary delights of this traditional pie shop from a family who’ve been in the business in the area since 1890. There’s a vegan option, as well as pies with chicken, cheese & onion or eels.
Summary
One of the vanishingly few traditional pie ’n’ mash dynasties left in London, four generations of Goddards have run the family business since 1890. “Always friendly to regulars and tourists alike”, they offer a “good choice of pies”, from the standard beef mince to a vegan option.
Summary
“Pie ’n’ mash is now fashionable” (as reported in GQ magazine) “and the grandkids love it”. This “very friendly” outlet near Greenwich Park from the Goddard family – one of London’s traditional pie-shop dynasties – is a good place to try the capital’s original fast food, with some updates on the menu to offer more choice.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
