Recommend if youre trying mash & pie for the first time. I got the cheese and onion with gravy. Was a good size but lacked seasoning/salt for me. Good experience & friendly service.

Delicious. I can't wait to go back and try all the other flavours of pies. It's not expensive. And the staff were very friendly. Don't make the same mistake I made for dessert. I got the sticky toffee pudding. I should have gotten a crumble or a fruit pie or bread and butter pudding which are all handmade and it was even written on the specials board. But I chose 1 of the 2 desserts not handmade. It was okay the sticky toffee pudding. But I had buyers remorse. Ah well. Next time I go I'll definitely get a crumble or fruit pie.

After walking for hours in Greenwich visiting the Maritime Museum, Royal Observatory, and the Queens House, I stumbled upon this place while walking back to take the boat to Central London. So happy that I decided to stop by for a quick bite.
Prices are beyond reasonable for London standards, and the staff is beyond friendly. I got the traditional pie and mash with liquor, and some tea all for 5 too! The pie was very fresh, and I had never tried pie with liquor before, but really loved it. Would love to come here if I ever visit Greenwich again!

Fresh pies, good prices, I'll come back. Had the traditional pie and mash with liquor, wife had the lamb with gravy. I preferred the lamb with gravy as it was more meaty. Next time will try the other ones and will probably go for the gravy rather than the liquor though.
