Robin Pie & Mash in City of London, Westminster

I found the pies very small . Although they tasted very nice. Also I thought £9 was a bit over the top for 2 small pies and single mash and a small cup of tea

Excellent food as always. What lovely, friendly staff too. I even had a nice surprise after eating my pies and mash…the fella who owns it, I presume, gave me another pie, mash and liquor on the house. It’s the only place I use, and would definitely recommend for its quality and typical cockney warmth.

I was brought up on Robins pie and mash at their long-gone branches in East Ham and Upton Park. So I was delighted to find that the Wanstead branch opens on Sunday mornings. I was able to park and pick up a take away order ready to bring home to the Midlands. Staff were lovely and packed everything really well.

No, just no. Long gone are the days people wanted to try this stuff. It hasn’t changed or updated in years (and I don’t mean the pointless side extension). Needs new people who like foreigners working here.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. However, the pies were rather small and not very tasty , the mash was small in portion, try and very unenjoyable and the parsley liquor was not very tasty ether. The eel was quite good thought. We won't go again. It was also rather expensive.

Really good pie & mash - I was brought up on Cooke's (Dalston) pie & mash, but Robins is as good: pie's are a little smaller now days, so its double/single

Someone must have dropped in the salt pot in the mash and the liquor this weekend had to throw our double and single in the bin after one taste. Traveled from Romford for this and we have never had a problem before so money wasted and when husband rang up to let them know today woman said should have brought it back! Too late as it was closed anyway they have lost our custom because of her attitude not for a one off bad experience with the unhealthy amount of salt !!!!!

Been coming to Robins pie and mash shop ever since I was a baby, such a shame so many have closed down now. Delicuous, traditional food every time.

Got there at 4:30pm shuts at 5pm walked in they appeared to be closing no one greeted me I had to ask if they were open to which a woman responded “nah” I advise you change your business hours generally when I last checked 5pm close not 4:30 wouldn’t be going back purely for how the woman responded to me and gave me no acknowledgment whatsoever

Weighed down by new restrictions Morose and low on cash We rocked on down to Robins For East End pie and mash It’s been going since the ‘20s A quite amazing feat An old-school eel and pie house Where cockneys go to eat The pies are rich with flavour Encased in golden crust But to achieve true perfection The liquor is a must On a cold and rainy Friday I know what I would choose A lunchtime down at Robins To kick the winter blues

I know this place is great for meat pies so was very excited to try their vegan pies. I have always eaten vegan pies from G KELLY, Roman Road and they are lovely. But the vegan pies at robins just don’t match up - far too salty.

I used to come here quite frequently years ago and always loved it. Having changed my diet to a more vegan leaning type, I hadn't thought to come back. It was only when on a walk in Wanstead I went by and noticed a poster for vegan pies too. I can highly recommend both the meat or vegan pies from experience now. A great East End style gem.

Found this gem today, food was lovely. Value for money. Pie meat was in a lovely gravy, flavourful. Mash you can’t go wrong with. Liquor spot on. All round a lovely East End meal.

Great food meaty pies good liquor staff are lovely good location and are offering a great service during lockdown

Good old fashioned pie mash in a traditional setting. Good service served well. Is in a good location near to station.

This was a brilliant pie and mash shop. Staff are friendly and the food is amazing! It gets served quickly and is hot and tasty.

Bentlie was very rude, not good customer service Was disappointed to say the least, pie was average x

This is a touch of a bygone era, the Pies & Mash are simply the best, so pleased to have Robin in Chingford High St, do hope the locals give them a try.

Arrastré a mi familia de 4 en una búsqueda para experimentar un pastel tradicional de East End y un puré y gelatina eal.La mujer que nos atendió fue muy útil y siguió viniendo a hablarnos sobre nuestra visita. Aprecié su recomendación para hacer un pedido y su encanto en el seguimiento, y la comida fue excelente, ¿incluso la anguila con gelatina?

Mi familia y yo hemos estado viniendo a Robins a Wanstead durante muchos años y es simplemente el MEJOR! La carne en las tartas es carne escocesa de primera calidad, las papas y el perejil también son de muy buena calidad. Las tiendas están impecablemente limpias, al igual que todo el personal extremadamente amable de junio. ¡June Allpress (el propietario) no solo es una persona maravillosa y una leyenda del East End, sino que también es la reina de Pie & Mash! Dios te bendiga junio. X

I visited the Wanstead shop today with a friend and was absolutely disgusted with the treatment I received. When we entered the shop we were firstly ignored and someone who came in at least 5 minutes after us was served first. As we were finally being served an male employee said the two other employees there ‘where did they come from... the coal mines?’ referring to my friend and I and they all started laughing. I do not expect racist insults in any aspect of my life, let alone when I am a customer in a shop. In terms of the food, totally overpriced. I will never visit there again.

En Wanstead, el domingo, así que al ver que la tienda estaba abierta solo tenía que hacer una doble doble y una taza de té. Muy bueno todo el año y ocupado, siempre es una buena señal! Definitivamente volveré y usaré cualquiera de sus otras ramas si está cerca de ellas. Solo tenga en cuenta que solo es efectivo (hay un cajero automático al otro lado de la carretera).

Great food great service traditional east end grub lovely clean shop Pie & Mash. Also vegetarian option and pie & custard for dessert Also in a great location nice high street

Probably the best pie and mash in London. The staff are friendly and the food is always fresh and hot. If you have never tried it, you don't know what your missing.

Definitivamente no soy experto en pasteles y puré, pero después de visitar Robins Pie y Mash, salí del local sintiéndome totalmente decepcionado.

I came here twice for lunch during my jury service at the Crown Court. Pies are just a little too bland for my liking. Best thing were the eels. Can't complain too much as it was paid for by HMCC.

This is a good traditional east-end Pie & Mash shop in Wanstead E11. The meat pies are up there with the best (Cooke’s, Kelly’s, Manze’s) and the mash & liquor are just right.

Lunchtime visit with old friend who like me have visited many pie and mash cafes throughout London. The meals are OK but not quite upto speed with some of the more famous pie and mash shops such as Kellys.

I had the pie n mash n liquor (a thin parsley sauce) which was OK. Wife had the eel in liquor. Eel was good. Worth the experience but won't rush back.

This is a must, b4 football pie and mash ( 2 + 2 ) The perfect start to the day. Excellent staff You get what it is Typical east end Faye Staff are polite, food is PUCKA

Todo lo que puedo decir sobre mi visita aquí es encantadora, me criaron en un pastel y puré. Siempre es sabroso, el personal es amable y está impecablemente limpio.

Well worth a visit great pie and mash, great service and friendly staff what more do you want been many times.

Pop in here about once a week, it’s a typical pie and mash shop, very clean with efficient friendly service. They are in the process of expanding to allow more people to eat inside.

Really enjoyed our pie and mash this morning whilst sitting outside Robins. Fabulous home made pies and delicious mash. Spotless interior, friendly staff and extremely reasonable prices - second time we’ve been and it won’t be the last!

Not been to this pie & mash before so decided to visit on a Saturday afternoon. Friendly staff, clean & fresh. Dinner was tasty. Will definitely re visit.

Normally this place is not too bad but my most recent visit the pies were well overdone and tasted burnt, the mash was hard and seemed old and the liquor had little flavour. Leytonstone is much better.

Se alojaba a 3 millas de distancia en Stratford para el aniversario de los Juegos Olímpicos, el resto de la familia eran las bajas después de un comienzo temprano, pero después de un par de cervezas decidimos que necesitaba probar tarta y puré de estilo local. Me metió en un taxi negro y pidió que el taxista para consejos sobre donde me voy a comprar mi cena, media hora después me tucking en 2 + 2 (2 a 2 porciones de tartas y puré - soy un aprendiz rápido cuando se trata de comida! ) nos pareció que estaba muy bien, y disfrutamos de los chistes sobre el anuncio en la pared sobre banco escocés no exceptuando notas - aparte de un bolsillo lleno de cambio es todo lo que tenía. Personal muy amable en un establecimiento tradicional. Mantener las tradiciones chicos sé lo importante que es real londinenses. Todavía no comer anguilas.

Almuerzo tarde visita, tartas y agradable puré media, el licor era bueno, hace lo que dice en la lata, la ubicación justo en el medio de Wanstead

Confundido en cuanto a cómo las personas pueden quejarse de este lugar. Absolutamente delicioso, mucho mejor que mi local Manzie de debe tener la tarta de manzana t9 fin. Conseguir suma!

Quería compartir algunas recomendaciones con respecto a la tienda de chingford. No enfoque ellos directamente y no se molestan en responder a través de correo electrónico. En ese caso estaremos encantados de acceso público lo puso allí mi terrible experiencia. Por dónde empiezo. . . .

Siempre llame cuando esté en Londres, trajo en pastel y puré en Woolwich. Robins es su mesas tradicionales de mármol, licores, Puré con fantásticas tartas. Personal amable y eficiente. Imprescindible para viajar cockneys M11 [5 minutos] Wanstead.

Después de dejar la Cuckfield, me decidí a tarta y pastel de puré de Robin y puré de tienda para cenar por la noche y nos dieron una comida para llevar. Era muy barato en £3,60 para tarta, puré y licor y mi boca era llorar todo el camino a casa en previsión de más tarde.

Having been brought up on Pie Mash at a time when there was a pie shop in the East End on 'every corner' I think I can class myself as an expert! This is one of the best. Although there are still a scattering of pie shops in London, I've found most are hit and miss. As a kid my local was one called Fortunes in Hoxton, long gone! In recent years I've found the best ones were Manzies Tower Bridge Road and Arments off Walworth Road but having discovered this branch of Robin's in Wansted, I can honestly say that this is up there with them. The liquor is exceptional!! One thing I certainly would recommend is the Salmon Mash and Liquor, something I haven't seen in any other pie shop, 1st Class!

This is one of my regular spots. I usually come here once every 2 weeks for lunch and order two pies and one mash. They are very tasty and the liquor give them an especial flavour. Definitely a good place to give it a go.

The foods ok, but a couple of the staff are rude and overcharge. I think they're part of the family. Shame it's gone downhill. They have no concept of customer service. A good shop ruined

One of the things that I miss about East London is the opportunity to get a decent pie n' mash meal - with lashings of liquor. So, whenever the opportunity presents, I head for an appropriate pie n' mash outlet. Robins at Wanstead is a particular favourite and does not usually disappoint. The traditional cutlery for pie n' mash (spoon and fork) are provided alongside the chilli vinegar. The shop has plenty of seating - in and out. Double pie and double mash with liquor now costs over £7.00 - so not quite the cheap meal it once was - but nevertheless very satisfying.

Biased because pie and mash happens to be one of my favourite meals. Forget all your posh pie and mash from gastro pubs, this is the real stuff.Great pies, good mash and lovely liquor, and for those who like them jellied or stewed eels. Good to see that this place is always busy, the East End have lost to many outlets.

Went with my wife after 2 cemetery visits. Not as good as Cooks's Pie 'n Mash but ok. Pies good but mash a little disapointing. As we were a tad hungry we went for double pie and double mash each. We will return.

This shop on Wanstead High St. is one of my regular if infrequent places to visit when I am in the area, to satisfy a craving for Pie & Mash.The shop is rather small, it will probably seat no more than 16 people at a time, but there are tables outside for when the weather is good.As other reviewers have noted, the pies do tend to be on the small side compared to my other Pie & Mash shop of choice in Walthamstow Market.However overall the food was good quality and at a reasonable price.. Plus side is that it is possible to park in Wanstead Place which is in spitting distance of the shop if you only have time for a flying visit.

After confessing to my colleagues that I had never tried pie, mash & liquor before, they had all recommended that I hotfoot it down to Robin's.It was worth the trip as I was greeted by such friendly staff, one of which I am assuming is the owner. Everyone was so cheery on a miserable day, which truly put a smile on my face!While pie, mash & liquor is not the best (nor ground breaking) dish I have ever had, it certainly gets points for being proper comfort food on a rainy day. The mash itself is quite bland but pairs beautifully with the pie & liquor. If you haven't tried it before I would also recommend you try it from Robin's, just so that you get the most authentic one!I actually visited Robin's the next day to try their eels; again, this is something that I had not tried before. This was an interesting experience but I probably won't be rushing after it any time soon...

I love this place ! having moved back to Kent from Forest Gate this satisfies my desire for pie and mash when I return to the smoke to visit friends. This is proper food, no frills and lashings of white pepper and chilli vinegar is all that is required for a feast fit for a King or Queen, pearly or not.

Miserly portions, awkward seating, very uncomfortable. Staff all miserable. Freezing cold in there, they leave the door open. Almost have to serve yourself.

Great Pie&Mash and the liqueur very nice and as I had never had liqueur before they put it in a different container for me on my plate so I could try it and loved it so now am a pie mash lover and alive pie mash every other weekend. Great and would recommend it.

I grew up on this stuff and having long moved away from the area I have to rely on my visits back to 'home turf' to have it now. There's not half the pie and mash shops around now that there were when I was growing up as most of the people who like it have moved away (I can get it locally but it's disgusting). Robins' is one of the better ones still around, I've eaten at their Southend and Beckton branches and this one is just as good.If you don't know what pie and mash is it might shock you to see a thick green 'gravy' (liquor) poured over it and I guess it might take some getting used to as it did one of my friends yesterday whose face was a picture. He got up and ordered another pie though after I explained that you should turn the pie over, season with salt and pepper and liberally apply vinegar or chilli vinegar.

As I say I do like a Pie and Mash been having it since I was a kid and its part of my life.So what is my But all about well although the food was very good the pies are on the small size and not to much in side them and the price seems to go up all the time two pies and two mash £7.10

This is the best pie and mash anyone could have! All of the branches are worth a visit, with family members in all the shops it really is keeping with the east end tradition! They even do functions and cater for vegetarians and vegans! Very tasty!!

Pie & mash is OK from time to time, but nothing to get excited about. The place is clean and tidy, but overall we were all a little underwhelmed.

I have been here many times is average or just above! Pies a bit small, and pash is very hard and lumpy! A bit overpriced, much better value and quality in Leytonstone Pie and Mash 1 mile away!

a nice pie and mash here always! My nana and dad often go here and we all like it! good portions and afters too ! xxx

This is one of the best pie and mash restaurants I have ever eaten in. If you are in Wanstead or just passing you should stop and try it. Really good food, very nice staff and great value for money. What more could you want?

Don't really understand the bad review for Robin's. It's pie and mash, not 5 star a la carte dining....Anyway, does what it says on the tin - lovely east end pie and mash. Never fails to disappoint. Only gripe would be is that it's quite expensive compared to the eel & pie house in Leytonstone (originally in bow) which will always be the best pie and mash shop in my eyes.

Last Saturday myself and my girlfriend decided to try this shop for a good wholesome fresh pie as the shop looked nice and positioned on Wanstead high street. I am not easily shocked or appalled but the standard of food being served from this shop is literally unbelievable. The pies for a start are tiny and so I ordered 3 stupidly, they contain a little amount of mince meat which really was shocking to the eyes and tasteless, we looked at each other in disbelief that this was the filling, if I didn't already have a career I would open a shop selling proper pies and put them out of business in a few weeks.....we were so put off that we couldn't eat them and gave them to the dog who picked at it. I heard Jamie Oliver visited the shop and couldn't believe they were selling pies at such a cheap price.... Well Mr. Oliver we can.... Findus crispy pancakes spring to mind except they were much tastier when served to me in school !! I remain totally baffled by this terrible culinary experience.... We will firmly stick to our own homemade pies ... cheaper, more nutritious and healthier by far.
