Reviewing the BEST PIE & MASH SHOP in LONDON! INCREDIBLE VALUE!

Today, I take a trip to Poplar in East London to visit Maureen's, a lovely little pie and mash shop. Now, I've been to some pretty good Pie and Mash shops on my travels so far, can we get a new entry to the top currently held by Goddards?

    Delighted to see Maureen’s still going strong. The food there has always been fantastic. I was born in the east end and unfortunately due to a mass exodus of locals (understandably) places like Maureen’s are now very rare. I wish them all the best and should make the effort to get down there and support them. In fact I will !

    Exactly Cookie. Gary's channel is a breath of fresh air. He reviews places across the price spectrum and rates them on their own terms - according to what we might reasonably expect from a certain kind of establishment. Of course a Michelin starred restaurant will have better ingredients, more attentive service, etc., than a greasy spoon, a chain pub or a pie and mash shop but he understands that they all have their role and judges them accordingly. I only hope he has an exercise bike, given all those fry ups and roasts he's getting through!

I got exactly the same steak you had, and it was perfection. The staff were amazing and so helpful. I mentioned you and they all pulled up your channel on their phones! They remembered you and your cameraman. I think you’d get free food for life there, mate! They all love your channel and were gushing about how lovely you were.

I haven't done that for ANY KZreadr - nobody. The reason is simple. You are the best food reviewer on KZread. You have also mastered the video length and getting to the point straight away, with humorous and accurate reviews delivered with fairness and integrity. Your popularity is going to skyrocket off the dial. Absolutely top draw. Keep them coming. It must be satisfying that there are no other people reviewing establishments in the way you do. You've set the benchmark. No doubt about it.

    Maureen's pie n mash is, and by the sound of your recommendation still, the best you can get! I moved away from Poplar 22 years ago and nothing can compete with their pie n mash that I've tasted since. Not many things I miss about East London, but this is certainly one of the few things that make me want to stop by when I can! 👌

    I'm from Belgium and whilst wo do joke about the food in Britain, I can still recognize a lot of similarities, especially with the old style dishes. This actually looks great, and really well priced I certainly didn't expect it to be in London. I'd love to check it out next time I visit, but that may still be a while nowadays, needing an international passport and whatnot after brexit. Anyway, I've watched quite a few of your videos Gary, you seem like a lovely person with an in depth review. I'm sure I'm not the only international viewer! I do have to ask, almost all your videos seem to be London focused, which I understand if you're from there. But have you considered visiting some other places? Maybe fairly close, like up north, or even Scottish stuff, would love to see you have haggis :D Also, not sure if you do travel or not, but would love to watch a video about some international dishes too! Have a good one Gary!

    I have eaten there & can honestly say with hand on my heart, that I have eaten in nearly every London Pie N Mash shop, but you simply cannot beat " Cooke's " Hoxton Market N1. They were the biggest in London and every shop family run. The last one left is Joe Cooke along Hoxton. They still bone their own beef to make pies and same crust recipe for over 70yrs. Just the best. Also bloody pricey now.
