Delighted to see Maureen’s still going strong. The food there has always been fantastic. I was born in the east end and unfortunately due to a mass exodus of locals (understandably) places like Maureen’s are now very rare. I wish them all the best and should make the effort to get down there and support them. In fact I will !

[@taraelizabethdensley9475]

I might have to take a trip to Poplar and go to Maureens, all there is near me are kebab shops ( yuck)

[@GaryEats]

It’s going very strong. Enjoy your visit!

[@walterekurtz4320]

Same. Also from the east end but became part of that exodus a few years ago. Nice that places like Maureen's and Pellicci's are still around to prove it hasn't all disappeared.

[@mainfish88]

Don’t know if I’m one of the exodus as my family moved over 20 years ago but why? What wrong with poplar?

[@mainfish88]

@JoeMarshall23 as an EastEnder myself, that what i was asking?

[@bganonimouse2754]

In this day and age its outstanding to see a small, local business doing so well with their traditional menu. We should all be supporting companies like these, while enjoying their excellent food and cheap prices. Its a win win!

[@GaryEats]

Indeed. You are spot on!

[@sebgold5841]

I moved to the UK from the US 15 years ago and the first British cuisine I fell in love with was the good old pie. I'm partial to the steak or steak and kidney. I do like mine with chips but thanks to Gary, I will visit Maureen's and have it with mash... Thanks Gary!

[@GaryEats]

Excellent to hear Seb. Go and give it a go and let me know what you think!

Thanks Shaw, will do.

Will do Gary, thanks.

I’m from South Africa where a pie can be a road stop or high class cuisine. It’s part of our blood. Looking very forward to trying out this pie, will take a tube there soon.

Wow Gary that looked fantastic, it makes me want to cry when i think back to our days in East Ham , where have those fantastic days gone remember so well when me and my wife used to take the kids to Roman road market every Saturday and never missed having pie and mash for lunch, when i look at the state of our country now I get very angry, it has been taken away from us😡, but watching your video Gary makes me smile remembering those wonderful days and the fantastic people, god bless those days🙌 , John

Great!

[@walterekurtz4320]

Exactly Cookie. Gary's channel is a breath of fresh air. He reviews places across the price spectrum and rates them on their own terms - according to what we might reasonably expect from a certain kind of establishment. Of course a Michelin starred restaurant will have better ingredients, more attentive service, etc., than a greasy spoon, a chain pub or a pie and mash shop but he understands that they all have their role and judges them accordingly. I only hope he has an exercise bike, given all those fry ups and roasts he's getting through!

I've never given London pie and mash a second thought as the liquor puts me off as it's always too watery, and being a northern lad I'm a lover of thick gravy but seeing that luscious liquor my mouths watering. And why no knife and why am upsidedown pie. I love these local traditional quirks. Thankyou for sharing Gary. And I can't get over the price, or the beautiful looking bagel.super,super cafe.

No problem mate, excellent value isn’t it? You can have it with gravy, just expect a lot of stick in these parts Paul 🤣 all the best mate.

[@Forestgravy90]

Pies should be eaten upside down as the bottom is softer and easier to cut into ans the thicker crust flipped over absorbs the gravy

Excellent pie n' mash, I could tell by the sight of it. The liquor was nice and thick. I had my first circa 1954 at Manzes in Peckham, when I worked for Dad as Saturday boy. Sometimes I'd have the stewed eels, mash and liquor. The salt beef bagel looked delicious too, but I couldn't handle one of those too, at the same sitting! 10/10 moi aussie.

Mate, that meal is amazing value and looked absolutely delicious! Great review of a dying London delicacy. As an aside, I was in Windsor yesterday and decided to to go next door to Slough Steakout ONLY on your recommendation. Gary, I couldn’t have been happier! I got exactly the same steak you had, and it was perfection. The staff were amazing and so helpful. I mentioned you and they all pulled up your channel on their phones! They remembered you and your cameraman. I think you’d get free food for life there, mate! They all love your channel and were gushing about how lovely you were. Absolutely brilliant to see your channel growing and the restaurants you visit genuinely love you. All the best, mate.

Amazing to hear that you also had a good experience of Steakout mate. The staff were lovely when I went and couldn’t be happier to be of service. Thank you for mentioning the videos and I’m glad they were full of praise. All the best my friend - thanks for sharing this with me!

Hi Gary. I gave that a 10 like you. Where do you get that quality for that price? On another note, I've binged watched your entire catalogue over four evenings! I haven't done that for ANY KZbinr - nobody. The reason is simple. You are the best food reviewer on KZbin. You have also mastered the video length and getting to the point straight away, with humorous and accurate reviews delivered with fairness and integrity. Your popularity is going to skyrocket off the dial. Absolutely top draw. Keep them coming. It must be satisfying that there are no other people reviewing establishments in the way you do. You've set the benchmark. No doubt about it.

[@tomasarfert]

@@GaryEats Hi Gary! Like your videos a lot! Naturally I eat Surströmming from time to time (tastes a lot better then the smell you got when you open the can). It is however harder to find, because of to much "industrial fishing" with big ships, that leaves fewer Strömming (small Baltic herring) to the local fishermen in Northern Sweden, with smaller boats. A shame.

I'm from Belgium and whilst wo do joke about the food in Britain, I can still recognize a lot of similarities, especially with the old style dishes. This actually looks great, and really well priced I certainly didn't expect it to be in London. I'd love to check it out next time I visit, but that may still be a while nowadays, needing an international passport and whatnot after brexit. Anyway, I've watched quite a few of your videos Gary, you seem like a lovely person with an in depth review. I'm sure I'm not the only international viewer! I do have to ask, almost all your videos seem to be London focused, which I understand if you're from there. But have you considered visiting some other places? Maybe fairly close, like up north, or even Scottish stuff, would love to see you have haggis :D Also, not sure if you do travel or not, but would love to watch a video about some international dishes too! Have a good one Gary!

Of course. I’m planning to go to Yorkshire this week, I’ve been to the Cotswolds, York, Brighton, Birmingham and more so far but I will be going outside of London more for certain. I love haggis so will be trying that when I go to Scotland! Thanks for watching from Belgium and all the best.

I would love to see Gary also tuck into Stewed Eels and Mash at £6.30 - I think Jellied Eels is like Marmite (love it or hate it) - That Salt Beef is what I would go for its steaming...Such an improvement to Sid's Caff in Only Fools... LOL

[@GaryEats]

I have already done that my friend. Check out my Goddards review.

[@noodlyappendage6729]

Stewed eels are lovely. Although I’ve never had it with mash. I like my stewed eels plonked on top of my pie.

[@colinsuffolk9161]

Hi Gary I have just watched all your videos on pie and mash I agree with one of them inside it look a bit dry. The people in London must be grateful to these places selling the pie and mash that liquor sauce looks fantastic I live in Loughborough near Leicester we didn’t have it. I remember a friend of mine who lived in Manchester I went with him to revisit his town. We had a meat and potato pie and chips. Fantastic good old British food at its best. Thanks mate love your channel watching them. Many thanks, Colin.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Colin

[@Clobberprint]

I'm surprised you went to east London and never went to Kelly's in Roman Road that's is 100% the best and always has been. Just saying and last and not least your doing a great job with the reviews 👍🏻

[@GaryEats]

That's fair enough. I can go there as well!

[@Clobberprint]

@GaryEats you will taste the difference my friend its the best out there

[@GaryEats]

Thank you!

[@Clobberprint]

@GaryEats your more than welcome keep up the good work

[@markkennedy4936]

Id love to go...easy 10...good on maureens for feeding the good people and one day wel miss places like this...salute

[@GaryEats]

I agree Mark this was absolutely brilliant

[@xr6lad]

The salt beef looks delicious. Pity they didn’t do an alternate dish of salt beef, mash and gravy on top. I’m a fan of making pie and mash at home but not big on a liquor.

[@GaryEats]

It was delicious!!

[@lesliecarter8322]

Top value and all decent quality food, pie and mash plus bagel. Good size portions. Pie looked good.10/10

[@GaryEats]

Totally agree! Thanks Leslie!

[@audreymcleod4076]

Great value for money, I would just prefer the gravy over the pie, not sure about the green liquid

[@andrewlaw]

Don't knock it till you try it. It's colour can be off putting but it tastes delicious.

[@martindunstan8043]

🤣🤣'the green liquid' I've never had it but I'm aware people rave about it, so I should really give it a go👍

[@GaryEats]

Fair enough! As long as you like it 😊

[@LindaRolph-e6g]

That all looked delicious Gary and what great value for money!!! Excellent, definitely 10/10

[@GaryEats]

This was well worth a 10

[@stormy1302]

Best food review channel on KZbin... Also ive never tried pie, mash and liquor... Always wanted too... Will have to take a trip to London soon as i only live 40 minutes down the road..

[@GaryEats]

Another corking video, thanks so much for doing this. Such a restful and entertaining channel, absolutely love it!

[@GaryEats]

Glad you enjoy it Ian!

[@stevenbrown8857]

That's my favourite of all the places you have been. An honest everyday cafe. The quality, quantity, price, and cleanliness were all outstanding. Real value and quality. As a northerner, I've never had liquor so gravy for me. What a place ... great video, love your reviews.

[@GaryEats]

Indeed. Thanks Steven, means a lot mate and have a good weekend

[@stevenbrown8857]

[@GaryEats]

Yep. Thank you very much Kev.

[@johnbarry1965]

My favourite "Food" channel on KZbin. I live in Wales and the Philistines up here always ask " What's Liquor"? One of my faves is this dish with chilli vinegar and white pepper. The liquor is probaby made with the water from the boiled potatoes! BRILLIANT Show ❤

[@GaryEats]

Thank you John. Means a lot mate 😊

[@jasonwarby3765]

Great job Gary, it was clear to see how much you enjoyed that, nearly at the 20k keep going m8

That pie and mash looks so good. I bet it was tasty. 😊

[@GaryEats]

This was the best pie and mash I have had on the channel

[@grahamlee2536]

Brings back summer break memories of visiting my Great Uncle. We would always sneak away for pie and mash, and my favourite apple crumble and custard.

[@GaryEats]

Ah lovely stuff Graham. Cheers for watching!

[@JM-jy2iy]

Everything looked great, Comfort Food that's also beautiful.

[@GaryEats]

I believe, it’s only my opinion that it’s the best in London. 😊👍

[@scottishthistle7950]

Incredible value and woohoo clean wow

[@robinpascall400]

After watching this video all the way in Canada i made is a point to visit Maureens on my trip to the UK this summer I was not disappointed the food was excellent. Thanks Gary!

[@GaryEats]

This is the best pie and mash shop I have visited Robin, great value as well

[@recoverytrustees526]

£4:20......bargain, better than that McDonalds you had!!! Nice looking pie. As always, a delight to watch and a calming video, which usually ties in with my last 5 minutes of work, so the perfect way to start an evening........keep warm!

[@GaryEats]

Never had jellied eels, but brings back '50s memories of Brick Lane, and Blooms' saltbeef sandwiches - never bagels!) and potato latkes. Oh such innocent and wondrous times. My dad's cousin had a do it all shop there, selling hosiery and repairing radios. Thanks, Gary, for bringing back those lovely and exciting memories 👍❤️
