Great tasting pies, lovely bit of moisture inside, fantastically earthy lumpy mash. Liquor was good but a very heavy parsley taste, quite overpowering parsley taste for my family, but it was still goo... See more

Being established for 100+ years means we've met a lot of new faces. Many move out of the area and can no longer visit our shops. That's why we started our online delivery service. Now you can order your pie, mash and liquor plus eels from our website at manze.co.uk. We then use an overnight chilled delivery service meaning you can get your favorite food delivered straight to your doorstep.

Short Delivery and No Apology

Our order was short of two pies (10 instead of 12) and one jellied eels instead of two. The five liquors was correct. I telephoned Manze to advise the shortfall and received no apology, advised they had photo evidence there was a delivery, had I taken a picture of the delivered parcel and just accusations. Eventually I was advised the manager would call me. No phone call. What did arrive was very good. Just disappointed at such bad customer service.
UPDATE: received email advising a refund will be sent. Thank you.

Loved my pie and mash dinner, just like Tower Bridge Road!

Food arrived extremely well packed with ice packs and layers of insulation. The individual cartons are well labelled and cooking instructions easy to follow.
I was born and raised in Bermondsey but now live in Surrey, where there are no pie and mash shops.
I thoroughly enjoyed the pie and mash dinner and I have three more in my freezer. Don’t forget the chilli vinegar.

My better half ordered 4 mince beef…

My better half ordered 4 mince beef pies mash and liquor for our tea tonight.
Cooked as per instructions and looked awsome !!!
But unfortunately that was as far as I can say looked great tasted or should I say not tasted WTF was the flavor 😳
I must sat it was the most blandest food I’ve ever eaten mince beef pies no taste, liquor or whatever it was no taste. Mash tasteless
For £35.00 you’d expect a bit more !!!
Disappointed

Tasteless

Our usual Pie and Mash shop stopped deliveries so we decided to try Manze. Placed a large order but the liquor was tasteless. Contacted to complain but no remedy offered. Also the pies were very inconsistent in colour and taste, some very dry inside. We won't be ordering or visiting Manze in the future.

Pie and mash

Even after following cooking instructions the pie bases were undercooked. The mash was lumpy and the liquor was utterly tasteless. I totally wasted almost £40 and definitely would not recommend.

Thank you Manze

Thank you Manze. Gorgeous pie and mash, just as I remember it. Excited to discover I can have it delivered. Chilli vinegar must get mentioned! You made an old London girl very happy 😃

Extremely disappointed My husband and l were brought up on Pie…

My husband and l were brought up on Pie & mash through our teenage year . We left London 45 years ago . We visit the city of London before COVID and went to the Manzies on Tower Hill Rd . Absolutely delicious. We ordered recently as we know live in Shropshire . What a horrible disappointment!!! No flavor in the stewed eels no taste what so ever in the liquor , pies very small with no flavor at all . Very sad and will not be ordering again . I brought enough to pop some pies and liquor in the freezer but we threw 4 pies and trays of liquor away . 😤

So disappointed !!

Very disappointed with my first order. The pies are small with very little meat filling and are quite dry with very little seasoning. The mash was okay but needed butter and cream added. I hadn't tried liquor before today but its not something I loved and I wouldn't reorder in the unlikely event I order again. PS 2 pies were barely enough for 1 and the pastry was not nice.
