"The beautiful shop on Roman Road more than likely has a handful of east London small plates enthusiasts slathering for its pristine art deco fittings and marble-topped tables. But, thankfully, this pie and mash spot is going nowhere. While homemade apple crumbles with jugs of custard should be close to the top of your mind, the pies aren’t half bad either. Pastry is cooked to a crisp on top and the beef mince filling is treated with the care and gravy it deserves. Open since 1939 for good reason." - jake missing
