Roys Pie and Mash in Havering

I absolutely love the food here. The pie and mash is one of the best around. However, I do also go and eat breakfast there a fair bit and it's definitely the best in the area and exceptionally good value for money. Freshly cooked food where they don't skimp on portions is amazing. The chef does lovely cakes (defo try the cherry bakewell!), although I would say he sometimes gets his recipes slightly wrong as they sink in the middle but still taste wonderful lol One thing that lets them down in the young girl that serves in there who is grumpy and looks like she's been sucking on lemons. Brighten up a bit! She's the only reason why I have taken off mark. I felt like putting it back cos Rodders makes up for a lot of things :)

The liquor was like wallpaper paste, the mash was dry and thick .I have been eating here for many years but never again.The new people may be OK to run a cafe , but no way a pie shop, Where has Al gone please come back, I can't see this place lasting much longer.

Best pie and mash I've had for a long time. I always thought Maureens and Whites at Walton on the Naze were the best but can honestly say in my opinion this is better. I was brought up with pie and mash, Roman Rd being one of my haunts but moved to Bristol now and none around here so order from Maureens.

On a recent visit to Essex, having moved to the midlands, I was desperate for a taste of proper East End pie and mash. I chose this one in Hornchurch as I could park near by and pick up a take away before heading back to the M25. I ordered my take away and filled up on a single pie and mash to fortify me for the journey and to taste their wares (as Simple Simon once said to the pie man…) Very nice! Service was excellent and take away was well wrapped and made it home safely. I think this shop is now called Al’s.

I just love their watercress & chickpea pies, washed down with a nice Chambord black raspberry liqueur.

2 pie 2 mash liquor sauce vinegar and pepper Proper nawty! Take away of course (Covid) Will be returning asap

Came here for the first time today looking for a proper traditional pie mash.... thank you so much definitely DID NOT disappoint ...... all so very Friendly shop is spotless and the food is amazing..... if you love pie mash this place is a must

I went during Covid-19 lockdown and the customer service was spot on and the food was absaloutely Amazing. Mash so creamy, pie hand made and fresh, liquer was warm and soothing and they served great portions.

This is not a proper "east end " pie and mash shop. Went in there yesterday with family and the food was really poor. The pies were quite small and not freshly cooked , very dry. My wife and daughter had the eels which were thin and really, really small pieces ,about 1cm. long, pathetic portions.Most of us had really bad indigestion after eating there. We will not be going back.

You don't get many pie and mash shops as often now days. This one is in a nice location, easy to park and the pie and mash was lovely, don't forget the liquor

We as a family always eat our pie mash from here

Just love Roy’s pie and mash a real taste of tradition, pies really tasty and mash nice and buttery can’t resist going in when passing as it always smells so good

We all enjoyed pie and mash.had liquor serperate .so put on what we wanted.good value.good cup of tea.and all empty plates.

I’ve eaten here several times, only a small shop but they serve very good pie, marsh and liquor! ⭐️👍

First time and she ate it all.parsley sauce could have been a bit more flavour pies were good and mash.friendly place.13-50.for double pie and mash.nice and clean.looking forward to going back.

Love this place! The staff here are very friendly especially the owner he is always smiling & joking. Cant wait for my next pie & mash fix! (not forgetting the liqor!)

I happen to herald from the Isle of Dogs in East London so I'm a true East End Guy at Heart & by Blood ha! My friend I took for pie n mash was born in Covent Garden yet has never experience this original fast food delight...until now. Safe to say he demolished it 👍👏!

Fabulous pies and mash. An authentic taste of the East End ! Best pie mash out side of Roman Rd. A definite place to visit but go when you are hungry to get the full experience of this Traditional british cuisine.

Not bad but not good . Good service and fair price . A traditional pie and mash shop although the shop has got smaller in size . Worth a try if in the area .

Best hang cure ever. I normally pop in on Saturday lunchtime. Generally you can get a table to yourself. Pies always straight from the oven. Mash can be a bit luke warm but okay.

As an ex eastender you can't beat Roy's for a good old fashioned pie and mash, I go in every week, can't fault the service

Love having authentic pie and mash in Roy's. A great place to take the children to continue the tradition of pie, mash and liquor!

Visited here and was left disappointed by the quality of the food. After being away for a while I was looking forward to pie and mash again but felt it didn't quite meet expectations, overall quite flavourless.

Gran tarta tradicional y puré, recomiendo este lugar si buscas un auténtico pastel de puré y tienda

Normally get a takeaway for my boys at the weekend and had no issues with them, food and service always good.

So lucky to have this Pie n Mash shop round the corner from me ! I've been a semi-regular for a number of years and it never let's me down when I need a good double helping with a cuppa tea ❤!Was rather worried when it downsized but it's helped keep it around so it'd better stay for a few more years to come! Can never beat 'ye olde faithful' .

Hands down my favourite pie and mash around. No nonsense, good food but it's the pastry on the pies that make it my absolute favourite!

The only Pie and Mash shop in Hornchurch Town centre. Was bigger but has reduced in size. Food nice and a good place for a lunch if out shopping

Pie and mash plus a mug of tea for the 2 of us under £10. Good value ! Pies good quality and the liquor was excellent. Order atthe counter and its served very quickly without any fuss. Good wholesome food and if your in a rush you can be in and out in 15 / 20 minutes. A great treat !

Lovely food, not cheap. Only let down is the miserable staff, seem not to want to be there. Very rude

Well worth a visit to this traditional pie and mash shop. Good quality food, which always tastes good. Very basic dining, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Very tasty, how it should be......I would recommend Roys to anyone living in or out of Essex. The pastry is good, the filling is tasty and the liquor is excellent!

I go here regular as the nosh is first class and you can park in the town center car park with ease, never disappointed and I often ask for the pie to be well done, as I like them that way.I like the Chiili vinegar, which I don't think is traditional but makes it for me!Always people in the shop with interesting paraphernalia on the walls.

If you like Pie and Mash this is a good place to go. Basic décor but lets face it most pie shops are like that. Bottom line is the food is good.

Great place always reliable and good pie and mash and generous helpings. Very clean. Staff always happy and courteous.

Having been brought up in the east end of London this is definitely not good traditional pie and mash the pastry is to dry and they need a new masher the potatoes were full of lumps

Been to this pie n mash shop a couple of times and is good. Clean nice people serving. Not a bad price. Would recommend .

I was a child when I first went into a pie and mash shop and loved it...lots of vinegar and lots of pepper on the parsley sauce...Later on people tried to copy the real thing eg: instant mash etc., so I did not go again for years...My husband and I went into Roy's in Hornchurch and we thoroughly enjoyed it..cost a bit more than a shilling but tasted just as good...will definitely go again.

Popped in one lunch time it was manned by teenagers, who looked bored and fed up.It was really the worst pie n mash I have ever had.Never again!

Yes great pies, we even take aaway frozen now... The place is a must try if you like pie and mash...

Really fancied pie and mash today so I thought I'd give this place a try. First impressions were good - the place was spotless and the service was friendly. Ordered double pie, double mash and liquor. Not cheap at £6.50 but not unreasonable. The mash and liquor were good but as someone previously stated the pies were over cooked and a bit tasteless. Next time I'll plan a bit better and head up to the east end where there are a number of better places.

The pies were overcooked with little to no flavour. I hadn't realised that there would only be one flavour of pie. No one quite knew what it once was. The place is a little shabby almost to the point of feeling dirty. I don't plan to go back.

This was my first visit after a years absence mash tasteless pie awful it had no flavour at all. It was really disappointing I was so looking forward to it. Someone at the back actually left half the food on their plate it was that bad. Really disappointing as it used to be lovely food but not anymore

When I lived in Hornchurch (until a few months ago) this was one of the places where I would drop in. I still go back to Hornchurch occasionally, and would go to Roy's again.The decor, ambience and furniture would win no prizes, but such is not the objective of a pie and mash shop, and the place is clean. The service is friendly, and they clearly enjoy good local trade for eating in and taking away, often, clearly, for families.The food is clearly made fresh, and not kept about, being warmed in a salamander. I might wish for some stronger flavours, sometimes; but I wonder whether this desire perhaps seems from the introduction of more spiced cuisines, from Europe and AsiaThese places should be more widely supported.

I hadn't had shop pie & mash for a very very long time & went here with some friends on a bit of a nostalgia trip . Can only say I really wished I hadn't bothered as the meal was a big disappointment. The mash was OK, though scraping it all over the side of the plate doesn't make for the most appetising presentation. The pies had a minced meat filling that was almost completely tasteless,which was probably a blessing in disguise & the liquor was obviously made with dried parsley which was equally tasteless. I know this is basically cafe food but it still needs to have some taste. I have no idea how this place compares with the other pie & mash shops in the area,but you can get a much better meal in Moon's, just along the road ,for about the same price.

The pies are made fresh, as is the mash and liquor. You can eat in, or takeaway as we regularly do.The smell of the pies cooking is very tempting and you look forward to them, with a drop of vinegar on top!They have even held a wedding reception in the café - a very good idea!

I have used Roys twice...... the second occasion was 9 months after the first and I had hoped the food had improved.... I was wrong! Thankfully lots of salt, vinegar and pepper helped me to eat more than half of the plate.Not a difficult dish to prepare and therefore easy to ruin if the proprietor decides to maximise profits by using the cheapest ingredients and charging the highest price.Anyone who truly believes this Pie & Mash is anything other than poor needs to visit the doctor.

i love pie and mash and it is so disapointing when u go somewhere and the liquor doesnt have that taste ie missing the vital eel juice ingredient etc or you get a pukka pie instead of a traditional east end pie! this place is great offer takeaway service too but i like eating in its a traditional pie and mash shop and the food is to drawer!

This is the best pie and mash shop I can find locally and I now don't need to go to Kelly's in Bethnal Green! now i have a baby it was a nice surprise to find highchair was available as well.

Great pies, nice mash, and pictures of West Ham about.. what more could you ask for, and cheap as chips....

Nothing special, wouldnt suggest it, can think of better, ahwell guess i'll keep driving home for a decent traditional pie and mash.

I love this place. The food is always good. Always helpful staff. The shop itself is kept really clean. Definately worth a visit or 2.

Nice traditional decor, food is above average, always piping hot and mash is plentiful, i also thought the liqeur was alright.nice to have a pie And mash in Hornchurch.

On a plus it is great to have a pie and mash in hornchurch high street. love the decor and the option of takeaway.However it is not the best Pie and Mash out there. liquor is a bit watery.
