Generous, delicious portions of savoury pies and fluffy mash topped with rich gravy. What more can you ask for? This place is an institution. Order the jellied eels is you’re feeling brave (supposedly they’re an aphrodisiac!). I’d get them hot if it’s your first time with parsley sauce and chilli vinegar. Watch out for the bones in the middle. You order at the counter, where the service is friendly and efficient.

Great atmosphere here, we sat upstairs and some tables are separated with wooden board, feels very much like the olden building designs and private. You order downstairs and take the food to the table yourself. Great value for money, no service charge added to your food. If you like minced meat, go for the traditional minced beef pies. I prefer chunky meat so I ordered Steak and Ale pies, you can choose between gravy onion sauce or parsley sauce, I went for parsley. Food was warm and exactly what we were looking for, I liked the chilli vinegar they provided on the table, gave it a different kick. Friend had the apple crumble, good portion with custard and ice cream, but she did say it was a bit too sour for her.

Highly highly recommend this place. If you are in the area and wanted to grab a quick lunch, look no further. Super comforting food on a cold day. Portion was decent with two scoops of mashed potatoes. Ordered lamb and beef kidney both were tasty. At first I didn’t understand why there’s vinegar but it added so much flavour to the dish so please try it with! Also, the staffs working there were a huge plus. The two gentleman were super friendly, helping us getting takeaway box, made us feel welcomed❤️ Again, great place for a quick, cheap and delicious traditional British food🇬🇧
