Goddard's Pie and Mash

It’s been a busy couple of days for us culminating in Kane and Sean taking a trip up to the LBC Radio studios in London yesterday. Carefully carrying our precious bag of freshly made pies, mash, liquor and chilli vinegar for an appearance on the Tom Parker Bowles food programme at 4pm. We were invited on to discuss the tradition of pie and mash, jellied eels and, of course, for Tom to taste our food.

Kane took the hot seat just after the 4pm news and did a sterling job of talking to not only Tom but many of the people calling in for the following 25 minutes. The calls were varied with some just wanting to officially state their approval of pie and mash and how much they enjoy eating it. One caller asked whether vegetarian pies were available as the traditional pie and mash pie is made from minced beef.

Kane took it all in his stride and answered each question in turn whilst really wanting Tom to tuck in to the delicious pie and mash we had brought with us. Due the amount of calls and texts coming in there wasn’t really too much time for Tom to do the food justice, but he did taste at least some of our pie and mash and gave an approving nod and a smile as he ate the food whilst trying to simultaneously talk on the air!

However, it was presenter James Max and the LBC studio staff who seemed to appreciate the food the most with all tucking in to pie and mash after Kane finished at 4.30pm. Kane and Sean left the studio whilst the staff, fork and spoons in hand, happily polished off the rest of the pie and mash (with liquor).

Thank you to everyone at LBC who helped us yesterday with particular thanks to Tom, Matt and Zoe.

We are often contacted by people who are unsure just where to find us for their weekend treat of pie and mash!  So here’s where you can find Goddard’s pie and mash each and every weekend in Greenwich, London. (9.30am until approx 6pm)

There is a Natwest Bank located at 2 Greenwich Church Street, Greenwich SE10 9BQ. Right next to the Natwest is the Fountain Food Court which has around 9 different food outlets and you can find Goddard’s on the right hand side towards the back.

Seating is available, so come down and enjoy one of London’s most traditional meals from one of London’s oldest pie and mash families (We started doing pie and mash in 1890).

We are happy to supply small pie and mash orders to takeaway but would be grateful if you could call us beforehand if you would like a large order. This way we can make sure we have enough stock ready.

We have added a Google map below to help you see where we are. See you soon!

Mick’s eels are sold to Goddard’s pie and mash shop in Greenwich, where Jeff & brother Kane gave me a real lesson in meat pie making. Hard graft, I spent the morning with the lads, but well worth the effort. They sell some 200 hundred per day all doused with liquor, warm boiled eels and chilli vinegar.

The traditional British eel, pie and mash shop is under threat because of dwindling supplies of the fish, according to environmental campaigners. Jellied eels – cooked and sold cold in their own stock – could soon join the ranks of haslet, stotty cake and bara birth as a dish that is only found in rare pockets of Britain.

The delicious fillings simply ooze out of the perfectly baked pastry shells at this historic Greenwich pie shop. If you want to try some traditional Brit cuisine down by the river, then this is the place; they have all the pies, mash, peas and jellied eels you could desire. The proprietors are moving with the times too, now offering some vegetarian options.

The Goddards pie and mash business has been established since 1890 and continues to be as popular as ever with its mix of freshly cooked, well priced English fayre.

Beef pie and mash with liquor is still a popular choice for many visitors to Goddards restaurant. Jeff Goddard says “the firm favourite is still our traditional mince beef pie with mashed potato. However, many of our customers enjoy our steak and kidney pies, shepherds pies and choice of vegetarian pies, all of which are cooked in the shop.”

Moving with the times, Goddards set up a website at www.pieshop.co.uk in 1999 with the help of school friend Sean Horton. This proved to be a huge success and has lead to many new customers from around the world. Goddards are now able to cater for pie and mash functions in it’s Greenwich restaurant as well as takeaway orders.

Goddards pieshop has now re-launched its pieshop website, again with the help of Sean Horton to bring a more modern, cleaner looking website. Kane Goddard comments “Sean has put tremendous effort into this website and we are all thrilled. I hope our customers enjoy looking through our pie and mash menu and seeing what else Greenwich has to offer. We get enquiries daily from our website and this had lead to many interesting orders. Including one recently in London where Chas n Dave performed.”

Goddards Pie House can be found at 45 Greenwich Church Street, Greenwich or www.pieshop.co.uk and they have been featured many times on UK TV.
