Why we recommend it

M. Manze on Tower Bridge Road is one of London's best-known pie and mash shops, run by the Manze family since Michele Manze bought it in 1902. It keeps the traditional tiled interior and marble-topped tables, and serves the working-class London staple in the time-honoured way.

Order minced beef pie with mash, which is made from potatoes peeled and cooked on site, and add liquor, the green parsley sauce made fresh each day. Stewed or jellied eels are available for the curious, and there is a vegan pie made with soya mince. The shop opens daytime only and closes early on Sundays, so plan for lunch. Takeaway is available for a short time after closing from Monday to Saturday. Borough and London Bridge stations are within walking distance.
