"The original M. Manze on Tower Bridge Road remains a living museum of old-school London—long brown booths, green checkerboard tiles, fizzing chilli vinegar, and everyone being addressed as “darlin”. The pie and mash shop’s meat pies are straightforward and pleasingly traditional, especially alongside smears of almost-smooth mash. With the right dusting of salt and pepper, this is a plate that can be quickly shovelled down." - jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager
