Proper Pie and Mash

I have been visiting Goddards in Greenwich since 1977, when I first moved to the area. My children, and now my grandchildren, are regular consumers of their delicious pie and mash, either in the shop or as a takeaway, which I supply on a regular...basis to my all three of them. I was born over my father‘s pie and mash shop in 1949, so I know what I am talking about. This is the real deal – lovely crusty-topped pies with a generous meat filling, rich liquor and a generous portion of mash, together with a helping of stewed eels if you wish to have the proper, authentic and complete meal experience. If you are a heretic, you can substitute gravy for liquor, although I never have. Additionally, there is every sort of filling available in other pies, including vegetarian and fruit options, accompanied by a beer if you wish. You will find people from every walk of life here – Londoners young and old, tourists seeking the real culinary history of London, and all those seeking a complete meal at a modest price, currently £5.40 for a proper meal, eaten with a knife and fork, unlike McDonald’s or Burger King, who charge a fortune and compel you to eat with your fingers. It is superfluous to recommend this wonderful gem of a place. Really, I should keep it quiet, so the queues, often long at the moment, will not grow any longer. If you’re visiting Greenwich you would be foolish to eat anywhere else.More

Goddards cannot be beaten, best pie and mash in London, no question. Meat pies, veggie pies, fruit crumbles, yum!

Best pie and mash in London! Goddards never fails to deliver, even in a bustling Saturday with a queue out the door and down the road! Serving customer after customer with a system that runs like a well oiled machine. Every now and again one...of the staff behind the jump will shout out to the kitchen to let them know what’s needed and what’s running out etc. Every table cleared with precision without delay, every area clean and clear, spotless toilets and sinks. We had a buggy, no problem says the staff as we got up to leave, the door is held open for us to assist us. They always remember us and there’s always a pleasant exchange of ‘Hpw are you darling’ and a chat with the little ones. Such a wonderful place to eat in Greenwich, food is fresh and piping hot, lots of options of pies including veggie. They don’t stop there, there’s more! Homemade deserts, fruit crumbles, with custard or ice cream. There’s even kids pie and mash too. Everything at reasonable prices and good size portions unlike some other pie and mash shops where the pie and mash looks lost on a tiny plate and you need to buy double double just to get a reasonably sized meal. There’s none of that nonsense at Goddards! Good honest freshly made pie and mash at unbeatable prices. Never disappoints! Love Goddards, my favourite pie and mash shop of all time. Well done Goddards, you smash it every time!More

A decent pie and mash

A standard pie and mash really, nice but not any different or better than I’ve had before. The liquour didn’t have a lot of flavour, not sure why you’d pick gravy over it. Cheap though and I can see why people might want to pop...in especially in winter for a hot pie.More

Super quality and value. A good homemade meal from £6.

We came in here early evening and it was quiet so plenty of seating unlike lunchtime when it was packed. I had a lamb and rosemary pie with mash and gravy with a tea. My wife and I then shared an apple crumble and custard....The food is excellent quality, plentiful and very reasonably priced. You cannot go wrong eating here.More

Proper London grub in a proper London location

As a fully fledged Londoner who lives in Berkshire this last week was on my to do list. I was taking my Granddaughter and wife to the Planetarium so made this the place to eat at. My word, its heaven in there, the staff are...incredible, really friendly and eager to please, you can keep your fast food locations, this to me is fantastic, it retains the feeling of old London, gives you a taste of what our forefathers used to eat and the food is to die for...Do you get I loved it? Whether a Londoner, a visitor give it a go, if you can face the liquor (the green stuff) just go with regular gravy. In and around Goddards is a lovely Market and shops with some brilliant bargains. I will return for the food, and to remember my London heritage.More

GLUTEN FREE PIE AND MASH!!!

For somebody who has a gluten allergy and very often has to miss out, I was blown away to find out that Goddard’s have gluten free pies. We phoned on the day of our visit so that they would keep the amount of gluten free...pies we needed to the side so they didn’t run out. When we arrived, I was asked if I wanted gluten free gravy or liquor. Service was amazing and the food was delicious. Goddard’s is now on our list for pie and mash list and will be visited often.More

Good food

We've been before but not for a couple of years. The pie and mash is still the same the variety is good too we plumped a lamb and rosemary and a cheese and onion. Both with gravy. Both plates cleared both where very taste and...the mash was it's usual creamy smooth. We had apple crumble and custard for dessert. Again very yummy. Washed down with tea. All for under £ 25.00More

Tasty Pies at Greenwich

It is an iconic pie and mash place in Greenwich. Pies are really good in this historical family business. It is usually crowded at weekend. You should be ready to wait at the que.

Authentic Eats!

I watched a few YouTube videos. I was so intrigued. It’s easy to find as it near Greenwich Market. Although it’s in a tourist area, I feel like it’s the kind of place locals go to. We had the meat pie and mash. I had...it with the “liquor” he had it with gravy. It was so good! So fun to have such an authentic meal in an establishment that has been around for many years! Highly recommended!More

Pie n Mash..The jokes on me!

Thirty years ago was the last time I ate a pie n mash and I can honestly say that after trying to eat this plate of pie and mash it’ll be another 30yrs before I think about doing so again. The food was tasteless all...the liquor that was poured onto the plate couldn’t save this dish the two lumps of mash was the only thing salvageable and even then after two bites I just couldn’t continue to put my taste buds through this torture. Before leaving this establishment the icing on this god awful experience was the toilet being dank,dark, and lacking the basic “toilet roll” also the toilet bowl still had a visitor of the “brown log” variety inside for which totally summed up my whole experience of this place. Will I be back?…I think you all know the answer to this question.More

Surprised

Okay, I hate writing this, but if I don't, it would haunt me for the rest of my life! (No Joke). Customer service was great, just a bit sloppy on the plate, so I excused that! Interior very drabble, but most people love a pie...and mash. Ordered, 2 pies, mash, liquor and 2 beers, surprisingly the place was full, with people that have no taste sense, whatsoever! I was so hungry after a hard day of graft and looking forward to a comfort plate of pie and mash, well, let me tell youuuu, I tasted the liquor and I started to heave, so I blend the liquor with the pie and I heaved some more, it was the worse plate of food I have ever tasted in my life.... the liquor was like green vile, no lie... the pie was doughy and bland... I drank my beer and walked the walk... for all of you people out there who love it so much, try MANZE IN PECKHAM... YOU WOULD NEVER EVER GO BACK TO GREENWICH FOR PIE AND MASH.More

Very yummy!

We always enjoy pies from Goddards. Our most recent trip in August was with family who were visiting. Wanted to drop a review here again as one of our party was gluten free - there is a gluten free option and the team ensured they...mixed up a batch of gluten free gravy (without prompt). Really appreciated and tasty, as always. Would recommend to others, it is a simple pie shop - as others say, no fuss and always tasty. Reasonably priced.More
