In the very early noughties, I lived in Tower Bridge Road, a stone's throw from M. Manze's Pie and Mash Shop. Even at that date, the English working classes were moving out at pace. But, on a Saturday lunchtime, dozens of Cockneys queued up the street to taste a plateful of their ancestral cuisine. The street scape was transformed for a couple of hours. A Jon Snow moment if you will. And then it returned to the new normal for another week.

Next time you're in Newcastle, nip down to Bob Trollop on the Quayside for some hearty English fare!
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll keep this in mind. I hope to go up next year.
I once had pie and mash at a travelling stall in my local town centre. That was pre-lockdown.
I haven't bumped into it since.
I hope it tasted good. There are some good shops around if you make a quick search. I'm looking to go to Goddards in Greenwich very soon.
