Pie and mash · London
Minced beef pie with mashed potato and a green parsley liquor, the working-class East End plate served at counters like Manze's since 1902.
Pie and mash shops opened in east and south London from the 1840s, serving cheap minced-beef pies with mash and a parsley liquor made from the cooking water of jellied eels. F. Cooke (1862), M. Manze (1902 at Tower Bridge Road) and Goddards in Greenwich kept the form unchanged through the twentieth century: heavy ceramic plates, a knife and fork, optional jellied eels on the side. The trade declined as Cockney London moved out post-war; the survivors (G. Kelly on Roman Road, F. Cooke in Hoxton, several Manze's branches) trade as heritage spots in 2026.
