Pie and mash

The suggestion of Terry, a brick layer originally from the East End. For authenticity I went to Manze’s, an historic Pie and Mash shop on Deptford High Street. George Manze invited me to watch him preparing the pies from 5am, in a shop and according to the recipe his great grandfather first used when he opened for business 112 years ago. What a great morning and what a gentleman. Two pies, mash and Liquor were served on site to Terry and a group of his friends at lunchtime of the same day.
