Goddards at Greenwich - steak and ale pie

Goddards at Greenwich is a traditional pie & mash restaurant that opened in London, England in…read more1890. It was founded by Alfred Goddard. 'Pie and mash' is a traditional English meal that became popular in the 1800s. The pies are actually savory and filled with minced meat such as beef, chicken or lamb. The pies originated in the 1700s as eel pies. The Thames River was once heavily populated with eels. They would be spiced, stewed in stock, and placed in the pies as a filling. These pies were often sold as a street food. By the 1800s, the price of eels has gone up so the pie filling was replaced with minced meat. Several pie shops began to appear and served pies with 'mash' (mashed potatoes). Alfred Goddard successfully ran his pie shop in Deptford for several years before passing it on to his sons Robert and George in 1936. A second shop was opened in Greenwich in 1952 and each brother managed one of the two locations. The Goddard Family still runs the business today, although only the Greenwich location remains. In addition to the restaurant, they also opened a factory which produces and distributes savory pies around England. I visited Goddards in April 2019. My wife visited there when she studied abroad and wanted me to experience traditional English pies and mash for myself. We stopped there for lunch after visiting the Royal Museums of Greenwich. After looking over the menu, I decided to order the Traditional Minced Beef Pie with Mash and my wife had the Chicken and Mushroom Pie. She told me to get gravy on everything, but we noticed that the menu listed gravy and 'liquor' as dressings. We wondered what exactly this 'liquor' was; was it alcoholic? Two locals overheard us and explained that the 'liquor' wasn't actually alcohol but rather a parsley cream sauce. They also explained that this is the more traditional dressing, not gravy. We decided to take their word for it and order liquor. Although eels are no longer stuffed into the pies, they are still a popular side dish so I ordered some eels as well. Everything was delicious and we ordered some local hard ciders to wash it down. It was so cool to have a traditional English dining experience and we will definitely go back the next time we visit London!

Interesting place... I think it is very local, but they seem to tolerate tourists!…read moreThe menu is small, focused on meat pies and desserts. They do have some bottles of beer, but this is not a bar. The food was good, but honestly nothing special.

Amazing. Loved it. Super friendly. Delicious and creative flavors. What more can I say?!…read more I was so excited to stumble across Blu Top! I was on the hunt for dessert in Camden market and instantly said yes when I spotted Blu Top. I had missed out on their ice cream at the recent Yelp Slides and Scoops event (where they won an award!), and so naturally I was really keen to try their ice cream. I love that they have really creative flavors and you can mix and match. I went for the cinnamon snickerdoodle & brown butter chocolate chip cookies with chocolate ice cream. They also sprinkled some chocolate chips on for me as well. It was a good size ice cream sandwich and tasted delicious. It was the perfect weather to eat in the sunny weather, but it was rather messy to eat once it rapidly started to melt as it was so hot outside! So I'd recommend lots of napkins! It was truly delicious and gave me my ice cream sandwich fix! The cookies are slightly thinner than other vendors I've tried which did actually make it slightly more difficult to eat as a 'sandwich' as the ice cream escaped out the sides, so I ate a lot of the ice cream with my spoon before being able to pick it up. The flavors were great and I appreciated having two different flavor cookies. The women serving was really friendly and genuinely pleased with our custom especially when we mentioned we'd seen them at the recent Yelp event. She told us they had now secured a permanent spot in Camden market, which is great as you always know where to find them if you want some ice cream as opposed to tracking down their food truck. I will definitely be visiting again and looking out for them at their other locations.

There was nothing in specified place and time. We went here to find there is just grass and trees.read more
