Good to know

  • Pie, mash and liquor; the pies here are drier inside than most, so plenty of liquor helps.
  • Save room for the cherry pie and ice cream (London On The Inside).
  • Eat it the cockney way: fork and spoon, never a knife; flip the pie, cut the bottom open and shake in chilli vinegar, then salt and white pepper (James Dimitri, 2025).
