An iconic north London pie and mash shop has reopened

M Manze, an iconic traditional cockney pie and mash shop located on Islington’s Chapel Market in North London, has triumphantly reopened its doors. This establishment, which first opened in 1911 and served classic British fare for over a century, had previously closed due to escalating rents, marking a sad day for enthusiasts of 'trad British chow.' Its reopening is a significant event for London's classic food scene, which also encompasses staples like Sunday roasts, fish 'n' chips, and fry-ups. M Manze is particularly celebrated for its juicy meat pies enveloped in flaky pastry, generous servings of pillowy mashed potatoes, and copious amounts of 'liquor' (a traditional parsley sauce), alongside its famous jellied eels.
