M.Manze - Sutton

Very traditional‑looking restaurant on the high street. I tried stewed eels for the first time and really enjoyed them — soft, flavourful, and much nicer than I expected. The mash was beautifully buttery, just how I like it. I’d definitely come back to try the jellied eels next time.

Absolutely horrible… tasted the pies and went to question as the beef looked almost pink and she said they were cooked properly. Went home later that night sleeping an went to throw up heaving because of the ‘uncooked meat’ which was supposed to be that colour. Don’t go

Arguably the best pie & mash shop in London today! I kid you not!! Pies were to die for, the mash was full of taste and that liquor!!! Dear lord, I loved it so much I went back for more!!!! Double pie & double mash twice!!!!! Love this place. xxxxx

Popped in as i wanted some jellied eels. Whilst there i decided to try Pie and Mash, which was a first for me. The mash was exceptional - very smooth. Like wise the pie pastry was perfectly cooked. The liquor was very bland, and mince in the pie, was a hard lump in the middle - giving the impression that it was pre-cooked before putting it in the pastry. I'm no expert, but as many people say it's the best pie and mash, all I can say, is it isn't for me. As for the Jellied eels. The pot is relatively large, so you think you've got a reasonable portion. On opening it it is about 80% "Jelly" - I say jelly because it was more like clear rubber / silicone. There were only 7 pieces of eel approx 1cm thick, 2 of them thin tail pieces.Whilst the eel meat was very nice, the jelly was inedible and very tough. All this for just over £5, and the use by date was 2 days away, making me suspect that this wasn't too fresh. I tried contacting Manzies Management, before posting this, and was promised a call back, and nothing was received.

Had a vegetarian pie mash and liquor with big splash of chilli vinegar. I think my pie was defrosted and warmed in microwave as the pastry was a little tough. I would suggest company invests in an air fryer

Yes yes yes! 🙌🏼 it's is friendly, tasty and always good. People tend to eat very fast and so even if there are no seats, you will get one pretty quickly. Get a seat before you order. Lovely staff and generous portions. It's a wonderful Saturday treat and the best pie and mash for miles. My cousin came to visit from America, unfortunately it was closed when we were taking pictures but we did have pie and mash when it was open ! Too busy eating to take a picture 🤣

M.Manze is a must visit for pie mash! There are three branches of Manzes but since Peckham was far away and there are too many distractions in London so I went to Sutton. As a foodie I am trying to dine at all the pie and mash shops in London because I just love pie and mash. Pie and mash originates from East London where they serve Pie, mash and eel. On this visit, I just had the pie mash so next time I shall return for the jellied eels because I am addicted to the jelly which is heaven when you put lashings of vinegar and pepper on it. As I was late due to the traffic I only had a pie and liquor to be quick. Normally I have the regular beef pie but since they had the vegan soya mince version I decided to have that instead because not all pie mash shops have a vegetarian version. Adding salt, white pepper and chili vinegar makes the pie really moreish because it makes the pastry more flavourful. The white pepper really takes it to the next level when it is mixed with the liquor and vinegar. Although the soya mince doesn't have much flavour but once you add the condiments everything goes together perfectly. I am so glad that pie mash is one of the things that is traditionally served with white pepper because chefs don't use white pepper these days, they all use black pepper which is so different. Black pepper is nice but white pepper shouldn't be forgotten just like delicious pie mash. The only thing I didn't like were the plants with deliveroo on it because it just ruined the traditional appearance of Manze. I understand they deliver for them but perhaps they are too modern and just don't look good together.

Classic London pie mash and liquor and decor to match
