1970s East End of London, eel pie and mash houses
Anyone else binge watching Pie and Mash videos for some reason
Hahaha me too
Yea don't know why though I hate parsley sauce I would get kicked out of a pie and mash shop for demanding proper gravy
Me! (and I am from Birmingham and have never been to one).
Yes and I’m from Yorkshire and have gravy with my pie 🥧🤣
Yes
I love pie and mash, mum used to take me to shop called manseys in Tower Bridge Road every Saturday and what I would give to go back to those times, hey ho paula aged 64 in Sussex x
Paula Manzes deliver! (To all over the country in amazing chilled packages) Go to their on line site.
I suggest buying the pie and liquor deal and making your own mash!
It’s amazing. I live in Brighton and get it every once in a while Xxx
@@Foxys1974 hey Foxy thanks soooo much for your comments today, didnt realise they deliver to us here in Sussex, amazing.... Have a great Weekend paula x
Paula Laye yes I was presently surprised when I discovered they did!
Hope you have a great weekend too! XXX
I used to go to manzies in Walthamstow market omg do I miss it
Mark Livett order some! It’s lovely, plus it comes in a polystyrene chest with ice packs that you can reuse 😁
out of the blue i get pie and mash videos recommended to me.
That makes two of us!!!
Same, lol. x
Same, and I live in California. 🤣
UA-cam Gold standard. Reminisce in pie n mash bliss.
Well, that was short but sweet.
This was Nathan's original shop that I remember as a child in the 60s. They moved to a new shop around 1971,which is the one most people know. They have just announced that they are closing down for good on 26th May. West Ham football ground moving to Stratford was probably what finally finished them off.
It finished off The Boleyn pub too. A real shame.
@sarah jones It was originally a grocery shop called Evans and thecorner was known as Evans Corner.You can still see the 'ghost sign' up on the wall.
@@Zlervo is the pub closed? I went in there as a schoolboy in the sixties when Charlie Prior used to stand on a table and sing , always ending up with Bubbles. Punters used to go crazy. Great days.
@@Zlervo The Boleyn is open again now, been tarted up, restaurant style. Nathans is long gone
i remember this shop so well i can still picture the lady who served us as kids , there was cooksies on east ham high street too near the guamont cinema happy memories
How was the taste of eel?
Remember them both well. Believe Nathan's at the Boleyn has gone now since the stadium closed.
Sheven718 I lived in North Woolwich. And remember the east ham one well.
Eagle river??!!!
@@TheCrusaderRabbits I always thought eels tasted a bit like plaice from what I can remember. I grew up in Hackney and the pie and mash shops were Cooke and also Kelly. Happy memories.
It’s 2.30 in the morning and I could murder 2 pie 2 mash,liquor, and chilli vinegar on the pies with loads of white pepper.
God bless the old pie and mash and long may it continue.
Someone take me back to the 70s...PLEASE...
2 minutes? I could watch this all day!!
Can't watch this and resist, taking the Mrs out for pie and mash late lunch 👊🏼
Love the old tradition, great shame most have gone now,great times gone!
Living in Berkshire how I miss pie and mash makes my mouth water just thinking about it. We used too go to WAthamstows Manzies
Amazing place there with the interior decor.
e gatie no it was Nathan's in Barking Road. The old row of shops were demolished but It's still there in a newer (70s) building now . Behind it was West Hams old ground.
I love Manze's
That pie looks soooooo good!
Wonderful times
I love it
Cresta cans at the beginning
Crazy bout those hair cuts! All those cute kids munching away. They all look like future rock stars.
You can all cry about how it was better back then but you would be saying the exact same thing if you lived back then. Fact.
If we lived back then, we'd be saying things will be worse in the future?
Larry Bundy Jr food for thought.
Ya so you think getting knifed or mugged is preferred to bangers and mash. London today is a shithole .
Tim Finnegan you would have got knifed and mugged back then. Just the same mate. And there would have been alit less chance of justice being served.
Pablo Pachino Statistically incorrect.
The diet of a real cockneys. Stunning food.
"Stunning", lmao.
There's still demand for it in London. Same as the good old fashioned British caff.
Im A PROUD WIGAN PIE 8er ,and know A Crackin Pie When i 8 one !

man this was like 30 years since WW2 ended
A place that made their own pies??? before my time, everywhere just sold Peter's Pies in th e'80s and '90s, and then Pukka Pies from the '00s to today. Such a lost art :(
I'm from the Midlands and love a pukka pie , I live in London now and have found a few places which still make fresh pie n mash. Saturday just gone had freshly made pie n mash at cockneys on Portobello road , was excellent
Cresta! It's frothy, man.
@@joebrennan.4389 - Can't say I do, mate. Sounds like it could be the Italian edition of Cresta.
Nobody seemed to drink with their meals though, I noticed that on another old clip.. Not even a cup of tea with their meal
@@AmandaEm7 - Well spotted, I hadn't noticed. Funnily enough, I was just thinking today about a girl I worked with years ago who used to scoff about ten digestive biscuits at lunch before taking a swig of her cuppa. She probably downed that in one, an all, it's so long ago I can't remember. She used to drink tea straight from the spout of the teapot and peel bananas with her feet, I definitely remember that.
We were certainly too poor and too numerous to be taken out to eat. On the upside, Ma made her own bread on a day-to-day basis and every meal was made from scratch - no processed junk - so I was a fine physical specimen. Albeit slightly behind the curve sartorially due to hand-me-down clobber. Put it this way: in a school of would-be punk rockers, I was the only Rubette. And not a particularly proud Rubette, I might add. But I was the only first year student in the U13s (second year) footy side.
Manda Clody
Working class thing just shove it down !!
I never have a drink while I eat
In my house you’d have to eat your tea as fast as you could if my brothers finished before me they’d be taking off my plate wouldn’t dream of leaving food
Those kids are my age now
You're 7 years old?
Those were the best days ever
happy as larry No they weren’t.
@@ushoys yes they were
I was a kid about same age in the 70s. Each to their own but imv the food was usually boring and often disgusting. Still have nightmares about the spam we had at school.
I don't like Spam!
I loved school spam fritters you hit them just right you could blind 2 of you mates getting them out of games.
Where is a good pie and mash today then I would love some
Maybe try romford
Kelly's in Roman Road Bow or Bethnal Green.
Auturm of 1967 thank you sir appreciate that 👍
Elijah Pisani thank you 👍
M. Manze now deliver all over the UK and Scotland .. www.manze.co.uk
I would LOVE to try a pie from that fab time. Not many overweight people back then.
I wonder why? 🤔
Does anyone recognise the lady eating at 48 seconds, it's a long shot, but not by the time count at the top
Happy Days 👍👍👍
I totally LOVE Jellied eels!
I used to in The Cut, Waterloo. There was a pie and mash shop there. I moved away in 1985. I wonder if it is still there. Does anyone know if it is still there?
Country Bumpkin I went to go there about 20 years ago,had changed into a Chinese restaurant from memory.
paul lambert Thanks for letting me know. I often wondered what happened to.
I ate there a couple of times, donkeys years ago though, was really nice.
What branches did they have, in particular, bow, Poplar and what others
Why do they say “noted” before pie mash an eel shops?
It means well known by the local population.
MrRenton96 👍🏼I’m from the area an I didn’t know that lol
No Shawarma stalls or Curry shops in old Britain.
Used to go to Cookes pie and mash in shepherds Bush. Late 60s
@@joebrennan.4389 no sorry , never bumped into them.
The one in gold hawk road?
That's gone, closed 3 years ago 😭
@@leonleon1027 yeah it has gone, was great in the day. I was at the closing. The queue was up past the market lol
Its curry and chips now how times have changed lol
Does anyone know the lady who gets served the pie mash at the counter?
I don't know who the lady is, but two of the kids are Lesley and Karl Jones. They were our next door neighbours in Beckton.
I thought the lady was my nan, Elsie from poplar
Is there any halal pie and mash shops in the good old east end of london, 😉
Never ever ask for gravy instead of liquor
So it is liquor. I knew I heard right. I'm American, what exactly is in this liquor stuff? From what I've seen it's green but thick like gravy.
It’s made from the juice of the boiled eels, parsley and flour and you usually add vinegar to eat. It’s a paupers food originally and they used to get the eels from the Thames.
I'm an American myself but my Nana hailed from the Northern Midlands and she made great steak & kidney pies and mash
I fkin LOVE pie n mash 😮
And then came Curry.......
Eels up inside ya, finding an entrance where they can!
I am British but live in Derbyshire and never heard of liquor on pie and mash before, we have pie, mash and gravy, what is liquor??
Liquor is parsley sauce. Its lovely
happy as larry thank you for letting me know, in Derbyshire we have parsley sauce with fish not battered fish but plain fish
@@JoJo-sc1db It isn't cream-based like the parsley sauce you have with fish, it's a lot thinner, fish stock and fine-chopped parsley
Old Skool Fool oh I see, thank you for letting me know. I'm going to take a trip to London to try this liquor with pie and mash 😊
@@JoJo-sc1db no problem. Enjoy your visit to London. And definitely have pie and mash. Look for a good one though.
That's really London
The chef looks like Dennis Waterman!
Is that barking Road
Does anyone remember teviot street
Daan around the city peasants was frequent. ..cor blimey it is what it is Guv nor
How can a story about pie and mash bring up all the racial comments
William Stevens I mean comparing the London of today with that London... well that’s the traditional, real, British London, I guess that must spark some feelings in many people
BTW I’m obviously not a Londoner and not British
@@Hometruths29 ooch!😁
Because in recent memory London was one of the great cities of the world and now it's a seething ghetto where you will be killed in the street for your trainers or for no reason at all, and the most striking visual indicator of that is the appearance of its inhabitants.
@sarah jones the way it goes, the English soon will move to Scotland ☻☻☻
@Anglo Commando very well said!!!
Mmm mmmm jellied eels 🤢
This video clearly attracted few racists claiming how immigration ruined everything. It would be good idea to look at 400 years of British colonial past and lootings before complaining about immigration.
Besides, immigrants introduced diverse and amazing food to London and have made London economically richer, colourful and dynamic unlike before. It was depressing and food like 'Jellied Eel' wasn't really appetizing or exciting.
@Christopher Christos Yes, yawn. Glad depressing times are over.
@Christopher Christos I can imagine the pain LOL
Black beetles and bread n Marge
Wonder if they were Kosher ?
Eels? And they wonder why people say British food is disgusting.
Roman Rd Kelly's is da best
It's like nobody wants to eat them because they look like snakes! Yummy Yummy!
Nobody eats at home ????
Even children ?
What?
Nobody eats children at home. At least if they are, they're doing it quietly.
Foreigners ruined everything....
Ski
@@ianmooresguard1721 poet/author
@@andrewdelaney1448 nice
@Naypalm 100 so you're agreeing to the fact that foreigners ruin everything
Yes I would love to just eat pie and mash every single day of my life and not experience any other cuisine the world has to offer.
Here comes the old farts saying "everything was better in the good old days because immigrantion bla blah blah"
Probably, but eel is quite healthy so remember this clip next time you see obese child.
Also quite spicy, contained pickled chilis.
Greavesy Please. You Brits spent 400 years invading every country on the damn planet. Now you whine like bitches when immigrants come to your country for a change. What goes around comes around.
Cooking halal curry nowadays
Any whites in East London these days?
No, the whites used to give up there children to the Krays and they very well knew what they did to the children, they was not displaced as some believe they just moved got sick of being abused by there fellow whites i guess
Cor what he done with them pies as put me right off....🤮...and I love pie n mash....👍🏻...
How did you think they were made? Out of curiosity .
EEls,yeah they look shitty and that but mate they taste lully
Yuck
