Century-old family business serving classic Cockney pie, mash, and eels
"Eat in or take-away at this traditional Pie & Mash outlet where the recipes from 1902, when it was established, are still used today. It’s this classic Cockney combination that draws people to this old-fashioned, no frills caff. The eclectic list of celebrity endorsements intrigues and the owner boasts Danny Baker and David Beckham as regulars." - Superfantastic
"The shop is particularly proud of the fact that all of the pies are baked and eels are jellied on the premises. M. Manze takes large to-go orders for gatherings." - Atlas Obscura
"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
"Alongside Cooke, the Manze name is to pie and mash what the Rouxs are to haute French cuisine. You can find the beautifully tiled, time capsule restaurants in Deptford, Elephant and Castle, and Peckham. But it’s the original on Tower Bridge Road we find ourselves most drawn to. Long brown booths, green checkerboard tiles, fizzing chilli vinegar, and everyone’s addressed as “darlin”. The suet leans soggy but the mixture is 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, and you can even finish with a scoop of Manze’s ice cream. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Jake Missing
"London’s traditional pie and mash shops have dwindled in number over the past decade or so but M. Manze’s, first opened in Peckham in 1902, is still going. You know what you’re getting with a proper pie and mash shop, and if you don’t, then just double up. Double pie and double mash, liquor, and a lot of malt vinegar." - jake missing
