BJ's Pie Shop
Pie shop · Plaistow
330 Barking Rd, London E13 8HL, United Kingdom
"Where other pie and mash establishments have leaned into their history as a means for existing in the future, B.J’s has pivoted not to merch, nor to alternative pies, and certainly not to card machines. No, this cash-only spot in Plaistow has diversified with its potato offering. Namely, chips. It’s a small spot that swaps some of the idealised pie and mash aesthetics for West Ham memorabilia and chilli vinegar in old Jack Daniel’s bottles. Even so, the mince in gravy is some of the finest in town, and the same goes for the service. " - jake missing

"As well as being the smallest shop on the list, B.J’s on Barking Road bucks the trend by controversially serving chips as an alternative to traditional mash. Past the communal bench seating, food is served by friendly staff from a counter at the back of the shop (also unusual): pies are crowned with desirably well-done crusts, mash is creamy and the liquor is generously seasoned." - Jonathan Hatchman
