Pie & Mash List

As autumn starts to make its way towards us, a visit to a Pie & Mash shop can be justified once again. I go all year round, but admitedly less so in the summer months, it just doesn't seem right.

For what it's worth in my opinion, the best pies can be found under the DLR station at Shadwell Town, I think it must be Peter's. I once witnessed a fella order 4 and 4 in there, but the wimpey chairs mean you don't get the narrow bench numbness which is required for complete authenticity. For that you need Kelly's on Bethnal Green Road or Manze's in Peckham. Over West, Cookes on Goldhawk Road have a nice shop but at 6 quid+ for 2 and 2, they are overpriced. Cockney's on Portobello do a half decent pie but their shop is a strange little place. Hipsters sometimes order just coffee, I assume in case they can't get their skinny jeans back on.

Check the full list here and catch 'em quick before they close or get taken over by a fried chicken shop.
