The Cooke family has been running pie and mash shops for four generations since opening London’s first shop in 1862. It’s an institution and sadly I recently read that the Broadway Market location will soon be closed. On our trip in London in 2018 we visited F Cooke with a friend for pie and mash and jellied eels.
Interested in the history of the Pie and Mash shops of London? The Life and Slow Death of London’s Pie and Mash Shops by James Hansen is a great read.
