Manze's Pie & Mash | London's Best Food
Вставка

- Is this the best food in London?...
The Cockney Cabbies head over to Manze's Pie Shop on Tower Bridge Road to sample Pie & Mash!
Michele Manze arrived in Britain from a picturesque hillside village called Ravello in Southern Italy. His family made the long trek over in 1878, when Michele was just 3 years old.
The Manze family settled in Bermondsey and began trading as ice-merchants, turning later to ice-cream makers. Realising the need for more substantial food in post-Victorian London, Michele branched out into the pie, mash & eels trade.
The first shop to bear his name opened in 1902, shortly after his marriage to Ada Poole,whose first husband, Edward Poole, had died in 1891. This shop was at 87 Tower Bridge Road, Bermondsey. He went on to open his second shop at 250 Southwark Park Road, Bermondsey in 1908, and two further shops in Poplar,which were lost during World War Two. His Fifth and final shop at 105 Peckham High Street was opened in 1927.

Miss me pie an mash. Used to go to the Manzies in Peckham.
I had Pie, Mash and liquor for the firdt time in awhile at cockneys, i forgot how much I missed it, its my favourite dish.
I miss it if I go 3 weeks without
I remember it well. My father's shop was two doors away.
Del and Rodney and sometime Trigger would drop in 👍
Did they?
Nice one guys thank you. Keep them coming, great to know of new places to eat while at work 😋
Thanks mate, really appreciate your support 👍🏻
Great video gents, can't wait to see more London eateries!
Thanks Tom, really appreciate your support
Manze's was always good. The only thing that is not authentic is Chili Vinegar, when I was a lad definitely no chili vinegar in any Pie and Mash shop I remember, that's very much a modern thing. We used to go the Pie and Mash Shop in Lambeth Walk, there was also one in The Cut too. Good vid guys.
Must agree, I don';t remember Chilli Vinegar when I was a kid either, just good old "non brewed condiment" as it now has to be labelled
I used to go to F.Cooke Pie and mash shop along Broadway market, till it closed down.
That’s one Pie & Mash shop that I never managed to get to, it’s always a shame when London’s traditional eateries close down
Manzes Peckham was our go to Pie and mash shop and i always asked for burnt pies to be told you mean well done ones LOL lovely people behind the counter always give a warm welcome. I never liked sarsparilla and remembe the stall down East street market well....
I used to visit the stall in East Street qujite often when I was younger
Always been chilli vinegar in shops I went to was brought up on mash and liquor when a small kid in the sixties
Love a bit of chilli vinegar
Tbh, i prefer Arment's over Manze's but it's still decent 👍I also remember getting hot sarsaparilla down E Street Market on a Sunday in winter lol
Nice video - subscribed!
I was born in Camberwell, brought up in Camberwell and Peckham, went to Paragon School just off the Old Kent Road and we sometimes used to go Broomfields the bakers (the Gregg's of its day) on Tower Bridge Road during school dinner times.
I prefer Arment's too and as kids we used to go to the one on Westmoreland Road, then on to Walworth Road and cut through Marks and Spencer to 'the Lane' or East Lane/East Street market and have hot sarsaparilla in winter too or cold in summer. We also sometimes after school went to Baldwin's health food shop on the Walworth Road for sarsaparilla too.
Pie n Mash done decently in a thick fish stock parsley sauce is heaven but best leave the eels to do their thing in the river
My sentiments exactly
@@JamieTheCabby top man
Really enjoyed the video. Went to Manze's on my second trip to London and loved the place. First time I had jellied eels as well.
But HOT Sarsaparilla? I never tried that in the UK. Over here in the states Sarsaparilla is more like Birch or Root Beer and is carbonated.
Cooke’s at Shepherd’s Bush was nice
Brilliant! More please.
We have lots more planned
I love Manze and I remember that stall in East Street market it's all changed down the marker now. Unfortunately, I've subscribed looking forward to the next video
We love Pie & Mash in general, totally agree about East Street, used to love the sasparilla stall
I've been in the Sutton shop a few times. With the "outlaws" as they live 10 minute walk away. My missus loves sarsaparilla, I don't know if she's tried it hot.
She should definitely try it hot
It says on the wall behind the counter. Shop opened in 1892..😅
Best ive had is goddards in Greenwich and im east london
Goddards is not my favourite I am afraid, and I have tried most Pie & Mash shops around London
@@JamieTheCabby it's all about opinions mate.
Classic London fare, the seasoned interior, the cabbies ribbing each other, about as authentic a eatery as you can get.
Very upmarket pie and mash shop.
I wouldnt say it is upmarket, it is allegedly the oldest Pie & Mash shop in London, but I am sure that there are others that would also claim to be the oldest
@@JamieTheCabbyMaureen's is the best, no?
@@goodputin4324 I have been to Maureens and it is very good, but I think that what an individual thinks is the best Pie & Mash is really down to personal taste and also where you were brought up can influence your preference as you would normally use the closest shop
fair enough, mate.@@JamieTheCabby
The other old one (apart from your self) is caffe isobella.
Where is that located?
@@JamieTheCabby 171 Main Rd, Biggin Hill, Westerham TN16 3JR
My choice in London is the Savoy Grill 😊
Nice
Liked the approach subscribed to see your next one but you didt show the food should have showed cutting the pie. Nice character but focus on showing the food. The point is your having the nice pie but you didt share it with the audience. Just cutting one of your two pies in half would have better from a viewers point. Look forward to your next. Especially a cabbies food booth, good luck with the blog.
Manze shop in Deptford High Street has bad Google reviews.
Never really liked Manzes in Deptford High Street and it wasn’t owned by the same people who own Tower Bridge Road. Also I believe it has now closed down
@@JamieTheCabbyno it ain’t goddards shut down
If it's the best food in London i would not live there. Really?
Amazing how all London pie and mash shops claim to be the oldest and best. Grub for the uneducated.
Yes, they all claim to be the oldest
Food of the gods ? 😂 that’s a bit embarrassing isn’t it ! Bit of flour and low amount of meat and a heap of mash !!
No thanks , will give that a miss 😂 but whatever floats your boats boys
It’s not to everyone’s taste
That is a shite gaff for pie and mash
Which is your favourite Pie & Mash shop?

Back in £.s.d. days, Manzies in Walthamstow sold jellied eels, pie, mash and liquor with adams ale. On saturdays, outside on their market stall, huge crowds would stand and watch as you chose your live eels and watched them being chopped up
