i'll have single mash cos i'm not a gannet.... will need vinegar (chili)... £5 fair.
Report SlippyBlue May 21, 2013 6:44 PM BST
Proper food and not deep fried rubbish, £6 is more than fair. I go to Harrington's in Selkirk Road, Tooting and it never disappoints. Highly recommended.

I feel Pie and Mash, eels and Fish & Chips all got surpassed with the introduction of foreign cafes and restaurants

As you know, Slippy, you can get sorted out with a Lorenzo set lunch for less than Fish & Chips or Pie and Mash

I think there may be a little bit of rose tinted glasses with some 1970's fayre ( I remember Berni Inns with their Melon Boat, Prawn Cocktail and Steak Chips and Peas menu, fondly)

I had a Lorenzo's 5 quid lunch today amazingly enough Happy Salad with some vinagrette dressing and a pepperoni pizza with a pint of draft Peroni of course to wash it down with.

you eat a lot of it then crippen !

What's in the pie when you have pie and mash?
Surely that is the key to if it's value or not.
A decent steak/ale or steak and kidney at a push then ok
but those pies full of gloopy gravy and diced meat you can't tell what it is ....no way Rodders.

I get Pie and mash delivered its a taste sensation
Report Burton-Brewers May 21, 2013 11:09 PM BST
there was one on TV a couple of weeks ago run by two brothers, it had been there since the late 1800's. The pie and mash looked nice but I don't think I could eat a jellied eel.

One of my faves is Maureens in Crisp Street Market, Poplar.
Report reculver May 23, 2013 3:44 PM BST
Maureens is a hallal meat supplier now.

Eel pie was a big favourite of Henry v111. Been instructed by my team to take them their lunch tomorrow. Double on everything. It is reasonable value for money, but not so much as it was. The price of eels has rocketed! I remember being mesmerised by the live ones in Tooting market when I was small.

EELS were the nuisance fish when you went out fishing on a boat,
I went last year and caught 2, the only  ones we caught all year..
