L Manze in Islington

Otra tienda de pasteles y puré se está cerrando. Esta tienda de pastelería ha estado en Chapel Market por más de 100 años, pero con el aumento de las tasas de negocios y las ganancias de otra pastelería tradicional, la tienda de puré hace morder el polvo. Muy triste verlo ir a finales de marzo.

Traditional Pie and Mash house. Seems like we’d gone back in time. Tasty food and traditional decor. Loverly Jubberly

Mi familia creció en Islington, estamos ahora repartidos por todo el mundo el año pasado. 33 de nosotros nos encontramos en nuestro viejo refugio para nuestro pastel y encuentro de puré. Nos encanta este lugar, la comida nunca nos ha decepcionado, el personal era muy servicial teniendo en cuenta cuántos había de nosotros. Es una típica tienda de pastel y puré, ya que estaba en el día, por lo que ahora es muy auténtica, con mesas de mármol y bancos de alcoba fijos de madera. Un lugar encantador para experimentar un poco de cockney verdadero en Londres.

Yo siempre vengo aquí cuando volvamos en Londres ya que me transporta a mi infancia, ya que nada ha cambiado aquí, excepto la popularidad de este trabajo más tradicional de las comidas de primera clase de Londres. Las tartas son geniales, el puré es suave y el licor es a dios simplemente verde. Cuánto será la última? Bien, a menos que más folk conseguir a través de la puerta de los clientes, no por desgracia largo.

Pie an Mash solía ser un viejo cockney comida muy barata ' Pero cómo han cambiado los tiempos 'Puede entrar en un Caf local y pedir una parrilla mixta por el mismo precio que Double Pie an Mash.Si alguna vez lo intentas, solo utiliza el verdadero café de algunos de Pie an Mash Shop para vender lo que llaman Pie an Mash Hahahaha, pero no tienen la sensatez de usar el vinagre adecuado. Debe ser condimento no condimentado también pimienta blanca.El café solo tiene vinagre negro y malta.Lo único malo es decir que se está haciendo más caro que eso, me encanta.

Great atmosphere, nice staff. Plan a few more visits before it closes. Pie and mash is (regrettably) a dying London tradition, driven out by high property prices and business rates.

So outdated... went on the say so of a friend who said “if you want the real Cockney experience to try L Manze”, but to be honest it’s was bland, boring and flavourless... it made school dinners look exciting. It might be a London tradition, but with so many other exciting options available I just wouldn’t bother.

Como una lección de historia viviente.Esperamos que este lugar se salvó, más de 100 años y por desgracia una institución muriendo.Decoración y comida son fantásticas. Tampoco se han tocado y que así debe ser.No estoy seguro a personas más jóvenes como mucho nueva opción alrededor y podría ser demasiado vieja escuela para ellos.No hay máquina de tarjeta, etc. probablemente no ayudan, pero es la realidad, así que el lugar se debe guardar.

Los diferentes restaurantes de Londres son una institución manze bajo amenaza de extinción. Mi abuela solía comer en este particular uno de más de 70 años. Me siento bendecido de que puedo comer en la misma mesa que ella hizo.El menú y el restaurante son todo lo que usted esperaría de un pastel de puré y tienda de calidad. Las tartas en particular son de los mejores que he probado, y el licor es una consistencia, que es a veces una cuestión de controversia. Personalmente me gusta la mía bien y gruesas y entregado en ese frente.Me encantó. Todos necesitamos apoyo en estos lugares así nuestros nietos pueden probar y experimentar la historia de Londres antes de que se vea afectada por el capitalismo.Os bendigo.

Let's me honesta, pastel de london n estoy ash no es del gusto de todos. Mi teoría es que él, como amorosa anguilas jellied, es el sello de un auténtico londinense. Probablemente originaria del fondo de la clase trabajadora.La tienda es inmutable, la comida es inmutable, el servicio es sin cambios y eso es lo que lo hace especial. Y aquí está el poco realmente triste. . . Es probable que cerca de este año. La pérdida de una porción de trabajo genuino patrimonio de Londres de clase no puede ser permitido a suceder!

This restaurant is a bargain and a real traditional pie and mash shop. The decor is classic and staff friendly and the pie are freshly made.

It was good to fund a pie and mash shop for lunch as we were passing through Chapel Market while walking between 2 sections of the Regent's Canal. Good pies, good mash, good liquor, plus chilli vinegar if you ask for it. Can't fault it.

Así que este lugar podría ser una auténtica joya, pero desgraciadamente, la comida y el servicio no está a la altura. Si usted busca en este lugar desde el exterior como un auténtico pescado y chips. Caminar y se puede empezar a ver que la decoración original ha visto mejores días y que sólo sirven tarta, puré de patatas y anguilas. En este punto usted puede dar la decoración un pase como piensas, es un lugar tradicional y como el menú es sencillo la comida mucho ser excepcional. Este fue un mal epically asunción. Así que el menú es carne y puré tarta de Misa del gallo (y algunas cosas que han si eel prefieras). Todo se sirve en un sin lujos pero para forma de £4. 85 que no me puedo quejar y si la comida era de primera categoría que te dejamos ir. Ahora el pastel estaba bien. Me pareció que la pastelería era agradable y el llenado correcto. Mejor que una tarta pukka pero no cerca con calidad de restaurante. El puré era pésimo. Muy seco y soso. No sabía que se podía conseguir puré usando en realidad equivocada (cuando las patatas y no cargarás) hasta hoy. Lo que he salsa de perejil ya encontré es un producto bi de la anguila que sirven (lo cual me gustaría añadir que no tienen problema con) es muy sosa en algo lleno de perejil. Mis pensamientos son si crió en este grub una visita sería un viaje por el carril de la memoria, pero si no son de uso y a un estándar moderno de comida te puede dejar pensando 'qué diablos". En una nota, el servicio podría ser mucho mejor. No es el tipo de lugar donde la comida es comprado a ti, pero ya que tenía un hijo conmigo y el restaurante era extremadamente tranquilo (aunque había una gente pocos) que se han pensado la señora en el deber han ofrecido. No hubo tal suerte. Si no eres un baby boom me gustaría evitar como la peste.

El restaurante era desaliñada la señora que estaba atendiendo era offishband muy poco amable y no procesar cualquier habilidades interpersonales. No volvería a utilizar de nuevo a visitar cuando era niño que mi tía vivió cerca muy decepcionado como tomó algunos amigos a visitar mi...

パイを食べました。ボリュームがあって良かったですね。味は昔からの伝統を引き継いだ味という感じでした。

Established over 100 years ago and looks like nothing has been updated since. I ordered a pie and mash and got a very uninteresting pie, enormous quantity of mash covered in something that claimed to be parsley sauce. Awful. The restaurant has a lot of possibilities if one updated everything about it.

Es un lugar lindo de buena comida, pero la verdad es que todo se hace muy estrecho, el garzón choca las sillas y lo hace incomodo

At 59 years old and lived 5 mins away from the market used to have pie a day mash most Saturdays then off to the record shop that was next door. Loved and still do to this day love pie and mash. Also the apple fritter man that was 1/2 way down that was my dessert or the ice cream parlors.Miss Kay Hennessy

Proper traditional pie and mash. No frills. Original decor. Original family. Great pie. Great mash. Sublime liquor. All served with vinegar and pepper. Perfect. I highly recommend

My 100th TripAdvisor review brings my close to my place of birth (Stoke Newington) and Manze's Pie & Mash shop. I happened to be in the area on a Friday afternoon and decided to pop in. I was moved away from London when I was 3, so in my 44 years, this is only the second time I've eaten London's famous Pie & Mash. I think the first time I was about 10 years old. Unfortunately I realised that I'm not a huge fan. It's an acquired taste. It's very difficult to say too much about this traditional London culinary institution, without being shot down in flames, except to say that you've probably tasted nicer mash, you've no doubt eaten a better pie, and the liquor - I just don't understand that. Personally I'd like a gravy!Anyway, it's great to see that this London institution remains popular with 'real' people of all ages, still enjoying the food served here at Manze's. Really, for me, that's all that matters. Long may it continue!

As someone who was born & raised in London over 70 years ago, "pie & mash" has and always will be part of my life.Manze's in Chapel Market epitomises all of mt memories - the staff are very friendly and represent true Londoners - the food is great - what more could you want!

Please note - this review refers to Manzes in Walthamstow which I couldn't find to review individually. As it was somehere I'd wanted to visit for ages, I made the effort to travel for lunch from central London whilst in the capital for a couple of days. 15 minute walk from nearest tube. Really eye catching frontage to the cafe and the original features inside were equally nice.Was keen to try everything so I ordered pie, mash, eels and liquor. Despite being advertised as in importer of live eels, the sullen girl serving told me they weren't doing them! The pie, mash and liquor was as good as I'd hoped - everything tasted fresh and home made. I was surprised to be the only person in the place at 12 30 lunchtime, with busy market stalls going on outside! The outwardly unfriendly service I got may go some way to explaining this. The mythical warm East end welcome seems to be long lost.Would be a shame for places like this to disappear so try and make the customer leave feeling valued as well as extremely full.

My Dad took me here in 1982 & he said it was the same as when his nan took him for tea when he was a lad in 1930. Such a place ....magic

Visited on Friday with the Pie & Mash Club. Been here a couple of times previously and wasn't impressed. Pretty much the same this time if not worse. For a start it's pricy, even for Islington. Secondly, the service is unsmiling with a hint of menace. There was a 10 minute wait for pies and after they had taken the cash they managed to get some of our orders wrong. Thirdly, the stewed eels I ordered were jellies eels warmed up. Lastly, (and most important) the pies are awful. Soggy bases and dubious meat content, gristle isn't an option here. They didn't have any fruit pies again. I've never known them to have any on either on my three visits. I won't be back

This is a difficult review, I have heard about pie and mash shops ad it was on my wish list.We went to Islington and upon entering the 1920’s we were welcomed and we ordered a double and single pie and mash.The pies were not as I expected, they were as Mary Berry would say “they had a soggy bottom” and the mash was ‘average’ but the liquor was not to my taste, it was simply awful.Yes I enjoyed the experience, but the food was not to my taste, I won’t be rushing back, I can’t really say much more, besides another knocked off my wish list. It has to be tried the once.

I've eaten pie and mash in so many places in and around London....No one does it better then manzes in chapel market....there are 3 or 4 other good ones about ....the best for me was manzes dalston which sadly closed down years ago.....but the nearest to it by far is chapel market......they have everything spot on...pies are perfect...liqueur is how it should be...not to green...just right and mash spot on....Take it from a true east end pie and mash loving londoner....this is the one.

I grew up in the east end and have enjoyed my pie and mash at traditional places such as this.This was a very enjoyable experience, the pies was great as was the mash soaked up by the liquor. The marbled tables and benches with the tiled walls and large mirrors it was just as it was all those years ago.Well worth a visit, the staff were great as well!

As soon as u walk in you know what to expect.No frills no fuss just good old pie mash and liquer (or gravy)Food was fast hot and simple. The staff were really nice and polite. Pies were tasty and filling (double small) and well if it's good enough for golden balls himself Me Beckham it's good enough for me.Must visit place if in the area

Traditional Cockney food like it used to be 40 years ago - don't think the decor has been changed (or repaired) since then either. Loved it as a cultural experience. Enjoyed the food. Cheap and cheerful.

The real old Cockneys would give their right arm for a good old plate of pie & mash with liquor, or for the more adventurous, jellied eels. Having spent most of my formative years in and around London, I popped into Manze's in Chapel Market Islington yesterday and it was like turning the clock back 50 years or more. Pie & Mash and / or Jellied Eels is about the only choice, but what else would REAL Cockneys want? Sure it's not everybody's cup of tea but Double Pie & Mash with liquor (of course) and a cup of Rosy Lee all for £7.10 - go on try it - you know it makes sense !The décor is to die for - proper traditional wooden booths, marble slab tables, gleaming white tiles on the wall, old traditional lamps and a good old wooden clock on the wall. I was in heaven !

Love going to this place, really old fashioned with old tiled walls and 'slop bucket service' tasty food and good service... a real slice of old england

Out of curiousity when in Chapel Market, I thought it'd be nice to try a traditional English pie. I struggle for words to describe just how horrible this food was. The staff were quite pleasant, but they genuinely have no idea how horrendous their food is. None of it was edible, not even the mashed potatoes. Myself and my friend took two bites each, then just left. Absolutely disgusting.

If you've never tried pie, mash and liquor give this a go! The art deco appearance of the shop itself is like going back in time and has not changed in the last 70 plus years!Nowadays eels, both stewed and jellied, are in short supply and are not always readily available but give them a try, they are delicious!.

We hebben er niets gegeten, maar vielen er binnen net voor sluitingsuur. Fijn gesprek met dienster over de buurt en London, dat bij een straffe kop thee. Interieur is authentiek en bezoekje waard

The food was terrible and not cooked properly, the liquor was bland and watery and I can't think of a redeeming feature. The establishment does not even have a toilet, I'm an east end boy and this is a shame of a pie and mash shop.
