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
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.
@@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.
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
@@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.
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.

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
@@Mandystesia - 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
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.
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 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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
