"First opened in 1939, G. Kelly on Roman Road has quietly re-opened following a two-year refurbishment project. Harking back to the shop’s original fittings, the space boasts walls dressed with gleaming white tiles and framed black and white photo’s; marble table tops and warm globe lighting. In regards to food, just pie, mash and eels are served at the moment, with plans for fruit crumbles to be available in the near future. Pies are filled with beef from Walter Rose & Son and rich gravy; mash is scraped onto the plates’ edges; the liquor is exemplary. The shop is also open for lunch on Sundays: another rarity, much like the vegan pie that it condescends to offer when so many will not." - Jonathan Hatchman
