I remember that, although I didn't go in there. I used to pass it on the 77 bus. There were huge queues.
To say the demographic around Wandsworth Road has changed in the last 20 years is an understatement.......
When I worked in Fulham years ago, we would get pie & mash from a place on Wandsworth Bridge Road. 'Pie' was minced meat, very nice & lean (I am phobic about gristle etc. & wouldn't have eaten it otherwise). The 'vegetarian option' (sic) was a pie with no filling.
I once tried an eel, press-ganged by a friend who was old-skool Chelsea (i.e. when it had working-class bits around the power station in Lots Road etc.). Never, ever again.

Ah yes, the EEL part of pie shops
Abso-fucking- lutely awful
The only time I tried them I had taken a malaysian mate down to one of the shops on Roman Road, he really needed his arm twisting to eat the pies, but to encourage him and to show how hard core London I was I had the Eels!!!!!
5 Mins later 2 of us heaving into the gutter!!!!
Good thing you have to pay up front as there was no way I could have walked back in after that display!!

I remember that one. And there also used to be a deli opposite it that would roast coffee beans, giving the whole walk way past it a really delicious smell although it may have gone by 77/78.
There was another one on Kingsland High Road which got turned into a Chinese-run place, but they kept a lot of the original decor. It also appeared in a film, not Quadrophenia (that was Alfredo's cafe in Essex Road), but maybe the scene in 'The Naked Civil Servant', where Quentin Crisp tells a man to 'piss off back to Hoxton'.

I've had Chinese food from there a few times when I lived in Dalston. Interior is nice.

yes. i think liquor is just a parsley sauce. Best bet, especially if you want to avoid:Manzes do a vegetarian pie, mash and liquor nowadays apparently.
Nothing, in the right place. That place isn't encased in pastry.

Might have a go at making this
Yes, that one on Deptford High Street is nice.
Tbh the mention of 'veiny tubular bits' in the meat pies might have put me off for a while though....

Really? Come on you know that what you were eating was not 30 day aged English Longhorn

Oh I know ... but I don't particularly want to be confronted with it, IYSWIM!

This thread has really made me want to visit the one in Deptford but I am worried that half way through the meal I may realise what I am actually eating
Manze is great.
I'm still getting over my distress at the closeure of Godards in Greenwich
Me too. And it was ages ago.
