But wait, there’s more! L. Manze (different family, same name) in Tower Bridge Road is a strong runner-up. Their pies have a crimp on the edge so perfect it makes my grandmother’s knitting look sloppy. Pro tip: ask for a “dinner” (two pies, double mash, and a write-up in your will).

Then there’s F. Cooke in Broadway Market. This place is legendary for its no-nonsense attitude. The menu has five items. If you need six, go to Pret. Their liquor is so potent it can probably cure a cold. Or cause one. It’s a gamble.

And don’t sleep on Castle’s in Islington. They toast their mash on top, giving it a weirdly sexy golden crust. It’s like a crème brûlée, but with dead cow. Delicious.

The Verdict (And The Barrie Flour War)

Okay, controversial opinion: the best pie is at M. Manze, but the best overall experience is at G. Kelly because of the eel-thrill factor. But here’s a wild fact: during the 1930s, rival pie shops would actually throw flour at each other in street fights. I am not joking. It’s called the “Barrie Flour War,” and it ended when someone got a pie crust in the eye. True story.

So go. Order a pie, a scoop of mash, a ladle of green death, and—if you’re feeling chaotic—a side of jellied eels. And remember: no gravy. The Cockney gods are watching. You’ll leave with a full belly, a dusting of pastry flakes on your shirt, and the smug satisfaction that you’ve eaten a meal that once fueled the British Empire. Or at least a very determined postman.
