If you’re looking for an authentic taste of proper London grub, locals will always give you the same answer – a pie and mash shop.
That’s right, the ol’ humble pie and mash has been fuelling both the locals and tourists of London for centuries.
You can find pie and mash shops dotted all over the city, but there’s one on Portobello Road that’s been serving up the goods for 26 years by Ruth and her son Bill.

Cockney’s Pie & Mash are bringing the cockney classic out of the East End and straight to the locals of West London.
Their menu consists of one dish only – the pie and mash.
Whether you choose to have pie liquor and peas is your choice, but why wouldn’t you?
Despite there only being one item on the menu, you can get it five different ways.

There’s the option to have one pie and one mash, one pie and two mashes, two pie… you get the picture.
You can even get a cup of just pie liquor if you wanted it.
And every portion is generous, so you’ll never go hungry.
So how much will these feasts set you back?
It’s like coming home

Cockney’s serve up their legendary meals starting at £3.50 – although if you decide that you’re just feeling peckish for just a pie, you can bag yourself one for a measly £2.20.
There’s plenty of space for customers to sit inside or outdoors if they choose.
One thing you’ll notice about Cockney’s is that they always have a steady flow of customers coming in for sit down meals or takeaways.
A previous customer, who lives in Texas, wrote on TripAdvisor that they make sure to visit Cockney’s every time they’re in London.

Another satisfied customer said: “Fantastic value for money with great tasting, good quality food, I enjoyed Pie, Mash, Peas and Gravy for £4.00!
“Which was really tasty and loved the no frills atmosphere on a very crowded day in London.
“Menu is clearly shown with prices at the door and inside.
“Only one type of pie is beef mince and the only choice is pie and mash of course!”

“I’ve seen stars eating in Cockneys & Ruth treats us all the same, to her we are all stars!!!”
