Pie and mash good old traditional serving, had three pies and mash and a drink £12 thought that was a fair price if I’m honest. Good service hot food, and friendly staff

Pie mash excellent. Staff very friendly. If others dont like the variety of food they should go to a cafe. Leave the rest of us to enjoy our pie mash. The traditional way.

Cold dirty seats and tables, crockery looks like it needs to go on a hot wash. Poor quality bread eggs etc. And to top all this a rude pseudo suffe London attitude, could and should be so much better.

2 prawn jacket potatoes came absolutely SWIMMING in mayonnaise sauce. Was it to hide poor potatoes or very few prawns I wonder? One taste, it was inedible. Took them back to the counter, the lady said ‘Next time ask for not much sauce’, I’ve never had to do that before ANYWHERE. Then she came to our table and said customers come in every week and love it! No offer of anything else, no offer of a refund. As though it was our fault. Extremely poor customer service. We will not be back a second time and will spread the word.

Stopped of at motties while in town shopping and was surprised at the range of food available. My daughter had pie and mash with cold drink, my wife had a full breakfast with coffee, and I went for their mixed salad with tea. All were served quite prompt considering the amount of customers already seated. With friendly staff that were having a general chat with everyone there it felt although we were amongst friends. Would highly recommend this Cafe for a stop over. The only down side I could see was that it is quite packed making it difficult for anyone using a mobility aid ie: Zimmer/wheelchair although staff were happy to move furniture around to accommodate.

I went to the counter and ordered, they said “it’s the best breakfast in Swanley” and they didn’t lie. Bacon, sausage, beans, mushroom bread, tea and bubble... oh the bubble! It was gorgeous! All good quality ingredients and all prepared just like mum would do. It’s got an old fashioned lo-fi feel with plain wooden benches. No major frills or mood lighting, no over the top designer gear, that might add to the price of the meal. It’s like an old fashioned traditional pie and mash shop. The service is also old fashioned - in that they take the time to talk to you, keep you happy, welcoming with a “darling” and a “sweet”. It’s like stepping into the good old days of good service and good food and has me quite nostalgic. I’ll be coming back for another best breakfast in Swanley.

We’ve been here many times and always thoroughly enjoyed their pie and mash. The staff are always cheerful and helpful and although the serving plates are usually cold they will heat them for you if you ask. They also do a good selection of other meals but I cannot review them as we only go there for the pie and mash. Decor is basic, with wooden bench seating and in the summer have tables and chairs outside.

Found the pies sweet and the mash to creamy, also quite expensive,. still a better option than a fast food outlet, as a cafe there are other food options

Got in to take a way 2 burger meals with chips and drinks then rain started and we decided to stay in and eat ...., then the guy did not give me 1 portion of chips because he asked me to pay £1.50 fee for eating in the cafe ! Very unprofessional and rude as we was gonna take away and go but rain started so he decided not to give us the chips and nothing said about it !

If you want proper pie mash do not come here. Not authentic pie and mash. Their fry ups are better. This is more a cafe than pie mash shop and the mash tastes like instant mash!

More interested in answering the phone or talking to people in the kitchen and concentrating on the customers. Get the impression you are in the way and you shouldn't really be bothering them, seem friendlier to locals could do with a custom skills course under their belt. Pie & mash somewhat now expensive so at least like the service to match the price...

Motties is what it is. A good, honest pie and mash shop. I usually have a fry up there and it is really good, crusty bread and proper sausages. It isn't fancy grub but as east end style cafe's go its up there.The ladies who run the place are friendly and down to earth.

I guess Swanley will never be high on the list for anyone to go to, but this café in the centre of the pedestrianized area come highly recommended. The front of it is one large window and inside the walls are tiled, as is the floor, and there are plenty of framed photographs of local scenes on the walls, along with six large mirrors. My meal, an all-day breakfast was quickly served (and the coffee was huge) and there was plenty of food on the plate. The tomatoes were fresh, the bubble and squeak well-cooked and the sausages contained meat and not "filler" (always the sign of a decent café!!!) and did not explode when cooked. The food was very good and the café was clean. My only small moan is the seating which are is the seating, which is made up of wooden stiff-backed upright chairs/benches and it is a bit cramped. That aside this café come highly recommended and the prices were reasonable too.

Pie mash in Swanley town centre. The only good thing about the town centre if I say so my self.The pie mash is traditional Pie mash and the liquor is one of the best.You can also have anything else in there from sandwiches to cooked dinners.The sandwiches are made with proper bread so big chunky doorstep bacon sandwiches are a must.The jacket potatoes are great value for money and fillings are plenty full.Highly recommand this establishment and the wonderful lady who runs it.

Living locally it is so easy to just pop up the road and treat ourselves to a lovely pie and mash, the owner being a Londoner knows what pie and mash is all about. The food is good the shop is clean and tidy and the atmosphere is good. Almost my second home.

was visiting swanley from the isle of wight to look at a puppy. we needed a bite to eat. couldn't believe it when I saw a pie and mash shop there. rushed in and sure enough it was the bees knees. if you don't want the hassle of inner London then go here it really is the pukka place.

Having a member of staff from London really helps this shop and is the best pie mash shop you will find in Kent without question, is the closest thing you will get to traditional london pie and mash Would recommend any one from kent who is looking for a good pie and mash shop here is the best have used time and time again and the portions are more than ample!Great work guys!

What is there to say.... it was an experience. First time in a Pie and Mash Shop. Often wondered about the jellied eels, pie and mash. The mash was ordinary and slightly cold. The eels were non existent (so maybe it was a blessing in disguise), the pie was slightly charred - the mince was real beef and the liqueur nicely congealed with no real flavour. I am not an expert so I have no idea what and how it should be. I got the feeling that it was all delivered in and the ladies simply reheat and dish up. The actual place was a little run down and the booths were to American for such a British set up. However, what I have to say is immaterial because it was heaving with people. All of them happy and content, most of them in for a chat and a good ole laugh. So what do I know???

Ok let us first talk about the elephant in the room. Mottie's is not much to look at, the decor is dated and you sit in home built booths (American Diner Style). For me this is not an issue and adds to its non pretentiousness. On the other hand it has a 5* food and hygiene grading which some major restaurant/food chains struggle to achieve (go look at beefeater London road). The food is fresh, traditionally English and very yummy. It is not a fast food restaurant by any stretch of the imagination but if you want freshly prepared food that is good quality it takes a little time (10 - 15 mins). I had a breakfast sandwich of bacon, egg & mushrooms on fresh, soft hand cut bread that was absolutely delicious. Fresh cooked bacon over pre-cooked is a no brainier. The egg was cooked just right so the yolk was still soft and gooey. The mushrooms like butter melting in the mouth. All in all just a very good simple restaurant serving really good food - what more do you want?

Mottie's Pie and Mash shop is what I imagine English folk would call down home cooking. There is nothing fancy about the food or the restaurant. The menu offers b'fast and other lunch items but as the name suggests pie and mash is the mainstay. The choice of pie is one pie or two pies. They are all beef pies and they are good. I like mine with gravy but everyone else in my family loves the liquor. Good value for solid meal.

We have visited a few times as we are fond of pie and mash. The service is quick and the staff are friendly, the food is tasty and and at £7-40 for pie and mash twice an inexpensive lunch while doing the shopping is a handy treat. There are also a couple of tables outside weather permitting which is a bonus. Enjoyed our lunch and will no doubt return again.

Those who love to do their own mash will love this place as the pies and liquor are spot on, the mash however was disappointing but overall £5.40 for double pie single mash and liquor was a worth while visit

Excellent Sunday Lunch. Visited with my wife’s 91 year old mother to celebrate her birthday. Service was great. My roast beef lunch was excellent and beautifully presented. A shame that the look of the WW2 pub, frequented by Biggin Hill fighter pilots, has been mostly lost though.
