Manze's Pie And Mash - Hoddesdon

Always great service! as a family from london, living in wales we love to order cake and maize and manzes never let us down . . here to our next order!

A decent pie mash shop, maybe not quite as good as Castles in Camden, or Kelly's on the Roman Rd, but that's just my opinion. I've read other reviews on here some only giving 1 star, and complaining about the pies and the gravy. I'm sure these people are not familiar with traditional pie shops. Pie and mash is historically poor food, made for Londons working class. The pastry used is called water pastry, basically flour water and a bit of seasoning, traditionally with a minced mutton filling. The mutton has been replaced with minced beef these days, but the pastry remains the same. The pies are meant to be rather plain, it's what gives them their character. As for the complaints about the gravy....! If you require gravy on your traditional pie and mash, Traditional pie and mash is not for you.

We have just left the Pie Mash shop And to be truthful its was one of the best I've ever eaten 2 and 2 large with extra liquor and 1x1 for me old mate . Topped off with 2 x 2 takeaway for the Mrs ? Instead of a Salad lol . We will be back and the Staff were great xx

The cake was fantastic and the atmosphere was magical. The staff were beautiful, and the interior was very clean. The presentation was also stunning, like a work of art on a plate.

What a beautiful restaurant! The staff is lovely, and the long-haired waitress was exceptional. I would rate it a perfect 10/10!
