Ordered for delivery paid £29 and half the order was missing when I called they were closing offered to deliver the pies Saturday morning or can I collect, the reason I had it delivered was because I had no transport Then was offered a refund which I have called up as I havnt received refund told to call the next day never again will I order from this shop

I'm sorry to say but I was very disappointed. Robins is a famous name in pie n mash but the pies were mushy, the tea was very weak. I was expecting the vegetarian pies to be soya mince to match the authentic taste but they were filled with soggy vegetables. I won't be returning unless they improve. Its a shame as pie n mash is my favourite meal.

I was in Basildon to pick up a car after coming down from Raunds Via London. I'm non native country boy and this was my first time in a pie and mash shop. My wife who is originally from Hackney got me into making pie and mash for her so it was nice to have the authentic meal which was really tasty with a nice strong cup of tea served on a nice retro plate. £6 bargin in authentic surroundings. I hope the new shop will have the same fittings, benches and formica tables. As Del boy would say. Luverly jubbley

I was shocked at how small the pies were compared to a few years ago. Thick was a take away meal ….. the pies were half the size and hardly any taste or mince in them. Potato wasn’t that great either. Very disappointed!

Had their frozen one tonight and wow that’s enough to put anyone off the famous dish for life. I seriously hope your not serving the same frozen stuff in your restaurants, if you did I’d throw it at you. Completely disgusting and a total discredit to the world famous dish. First of all the mash was lumpy then the sauce was just like stale p.ss. The pastry was passable and the filling was just salty and had no flavour. Seriously if your exporting this stuff do your country proud and don’t just serve sh.t

Robins Pie & Mash sells the most delicious pie & mash in Essex. It always has a queue which goes way outside the door and it is almost a necessity of the residents of Romford. It's relatively cheap (around £7 for a double pie & mash with liquor/gravy) and the supply never runs out. If you don't particularly fancy eating in, they also do takeaways so you can warm up and heat up at home (which tastes just as delicious). The inside decor is exactly what you would expect of an old, east end, pie & mash shop with the standard tables and chairs. It's not pretending to be anything fancy but it doesn't need to. The ladies that serve behind the counter are always quite friendly (but you can sometimes catch them on a bad day - then you might have a different experience). But overall you can't go wrong with Robins - it's absolutely delicious. Instagram: @journeywithuss

Good old fashioned pie mash shop. tasty pies, good mash and good liquor. For those interested in the construction, the pies had good crusty tops and soft bottoms. The filling is well browned and seasoned so if you're one of those who prefer your filling dry, pink or grey and totally bland because that's what you were unfortunate enough to be weaned on as a child then these aren't the pies for you.Pies are on the small/shallow side compared to some places but also the same size as many other places so not really a point to grumble about.Overall good experience, looking forward to visiting again.

I was brought up on Robins pie and mash. Basildon and occasionally Romford. I love pie mash and liquor and so does my husband and our son. We no longer live in England so when we visit we always ensure we come to Robins for lunch. I stopped eating meat a year ago so I tried the vegetarian pie and it was good. I’m glad I don’t have to miss out on the tasty pastry. Always great service and smiles from the very friendly staff.

This is a traditional East End pie and mash shop with a few extras. The standard offering is meat pies with mash and liquor or stewed eels with mash and liquor or a combination of the two. Thet also serve tea, coffee and cold drinks. Additional to the East End fare is a small selection of dessert. The food will never win a Mitchelin star, but if you are from the East End of London and raised on pie and mash from a young child - like me - it will bring back memories.

As a Scot I haven't really bought into pie and mash culture. Definitely a local thing, but I wanted to try it to see what all the fuss is about. Robins has been around for over 80 years so I reckoned must have honed their product by now. On arrival you are served by a lovely lady dressed in a shining white uniform. The place itself spotless with photos from yesteryear placed throughout. The tables are all bolted to the ground and sit you bolt upright. Can be a challenge in itself. The product for me is a bit underwhelming but in my mind I had conceived something a bit more interesting. A basic meat and gravy pie, with a dollop of mash spread on your plate with a spatula plus the insipid liquor (watery parsley sauce). If it's what you like you will be very pleased. If like me you had somehow imagined even a bit of butter in the mash, then you might feel differently. Clearly providing a product that people like and demand as the place was full when I arrived.

Do luv my pie mash and been eating it since the 1950s. Robins do serve a nice bit of grub and it does taste very much like how pie mash should be. The pies are traditional & brings back memories of how they used to taste. Can now only eat double pie & mash with liqueur, pepper & vinegar when back in the 60s I could eat a treble.

If you like traditional east end pie and mash you'll love Robins. Its getting harder and harder to find the real deal with so many places offering a poor imitation but Robins is authentic through and through

We were delighted with our choice of Robins. Excellent home made pie and mash, very reasonably priced, lovely staff, quick service. My husband had never tasted pie and mash and is a fussy eater but he reluctantly was willing to "give it a go". He thoroughly enjoyed it and although he is a "fish and chip" man he said that on his next visit to Southend he would certainly choose Robins pita and mash rather than fish and chips. When in Southend do not miss this one.Lil

I never get how a steak place can get cooking steak wrong! Ordered the ultimate sharing platter with the cote de beouf. Medium as it should be. Food was delivered well done. Waiter understood and agreed and took it back only for the manager to come over to tell me that only the middle will be medium.., and then when we cut the middle it was well done!! I have eaten steak in loads of places and can tell you that was incorrect To be fair to the manager, the embarrassment that caused her coming to cut the middle and proved wrong she removed all the food and drink cost We did then order the normal rib eye which was cooked to absolute perfection The waiter was amazing and the atmosphere was 5 star So it all ended well.

Not been here for a while but popped in for lunch while I was in the area. As always food is fantastic, hot lots of it and well worth he price tag. The Full English is massive and really hot and tasty. I love the Jacket potatoes which come with a massive salad. Cannot fault this place. The staff are lovely and very helpful. I had heard that the site was up for sale so fingers crossed no one will buy it! However, even if this cafe did move, fans like myself will just follow it to wherever it goes. Pods are always very very busy so make sue that if you want one you book well in advance.
