Oh yeah! Americans from California here. Who would've known that mashed potatoes, sausages, and gravy would go so well together! Loved every bite. Got the gravy on the side, didn't think I'd use all of it, before I knew it, it was all gone. And you wouldn't think that the type of mash or type of gravy or type of sausage would matter that much, but they really do all have distinct flavors! I will be mixing mustard into my mashed potatoes from now on. Originally came for the sticky toffee pudding, so of course we ended with that. Marvelous! The toffee sauce is so comforting and rich, the cake was so moist, and it was perfectly balanced with the ice cream. Didn't detect any dates, maybe they were too finely chopped. Also the apple and blackberry crumble just didn't hit the same; it was slightly dry and on the sour side (maybe don't take a bite directly after the pudding!) Service was so helpful and friendly; I'm sure they love watching people fall in love with their food. Quick with refills and offered extra condiments if needed. Great air conditioning as well (always a plus), and I loved the green blacksplash and blackboard caligraphy on the walls as well. Bangin' read more

the poor rating has to do with the rude staff at this location. i'm not sure if he was the owner or a staff member, but there was an older man who was very rude to us when we arrived. we entered the establishment, as that is what you typically do when you want to dine at a restaurant, and he came up the stairs and didn't even offer a greeting. i mentioned that we had a reservation for that time and he immediately just kept repeating that our table was outside. we went outside to their small patio dining area, and saw that there was a table with a "reserved" sign on it, so we sat down. i thought it was incredibly rude that he spoke to us in that manner, and it seemed like he expected us to somehow know that that table was ours before we had even spoken to any staff. i was seriously considering getting up and leaving but i decided to give this place one more chance. it then took a while, but we were eventually served by a much more pleasant and friendly younger server, who helped make this experience better. i would give this place a lower rating, however i must admit that the food was delicious. as an american tentatively wanting to try british bangers and mash, this exceeded my expectations. we all spoke about how the sausage was plump, snappy, and delicious, definitely one of the best we've ever had. the mashed potatoes were also amazing- cheesy and heavenly, and i'm not even usually a mashed potatoes kinda person. i am glad that we stayed solely for the delicious food, but i would not come back because of our experience with the staff here. the place already was one of the emptier spots on this very busy soho street anyway. read more

Ultimate London comfort food! On a Saturday night around 7:30PM, the wait for a party of five was 45 minutes. The food was well worth the wait. The Steak and Blackheart Stout Pie was delicious. The steak was tender and the mash was smooth. Definitely get the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The pudding was sweet, soft, and warm, pairing perfectly with the silky pudding and cold vanilla ice cream. read more

What a great start to our trip to London. We're from California and this was the best first meal for us. Mashed Route: Step 1: choose from a variety of mash Step 2: choose protein(s) Step 3: choose gravy Packed with umami and deep flavors. All 6 people in my family finished their entire entree. Owner was great - very friendly, accommodating, and great conversationalist. Ambiance was on the smaller side with an open view of the alley. 5/5 would return read more

First time trying British food in London, and it did not disappoint! rich sausages with plenty of options for mash. The pie was also generous in meat portion and a must try. I was so happy they had a sticky toffee pudding. It was not too sweet and overwhelming. This came with custard and vanilla ice cream. read more

Bangers and mash is a MUST TRY when you're visiting the UK! This was the best classic London comfort and I'm still thinking about it. The sausages were flavorful and juicy, the mash was unbelievably smooth and creamy, and the gravy tied everything together like a warm hug on a plate. You choose your mash, your main (sausage), and gravy. I went with classic/traditional for everything and it was delish! There are also vegetarian and vegan options as well. The service was just as impressive. We sat down right when they opened and it got so quickly busy! The staff were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind without ever feeling rush or scripted. Even during a busy time, they made sure everything was spot-on and checked in with perfect timing. It felt like they really cared about the experience. If you're in London and want something delicious, comforting, and authentically English, you have to stop by. Mother Mash is officially on my must return list! read more

We booked a table for lunch earlier in the morning and the dining room was half full already, with a steady incoming flow. Bangers and mash is another comforting meal I can have on a regular basis. My husband tried the vegan options - which he enjoyed, and I tried the horseradish mash, sausage, traditional mince meat, with the traditional gravy. The sausage was dry due to being overcooked, but I liked the flavors - it reminded me of a good breakfast sausage that was savory with a hint of sweetness. The creamy horseradish was placed on the side of the mashed potatoes and I inadvertently took a big bite of horseradish and no potatoes. The bite was pleasantly potent and super creamy. When it was mixed together with the minced meat, it was pretty close to creating a perfect bite. For me, I was missing some peas and carrots maybe. :) I enjoyed my food and if I'm ever back in the area, I would eat here again. read more

Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT! This is not complex food, it is simple and done quite well. For under 20 GBP you will get full. They specialize in bangers and mash and also meat pies. I suggest try a sausage flavor you've never experienced, they are all good. Small location but they usually can get you in within minutes, even on a busy night. I found that waiting in the front for the host is desired (you might get scolded if you just walk in and sit at a table). The staff is delightful. Of course, you can also grab a beer with your meal. There are plenty of pubs walking distance for after your meal. read more

Ordered the mash with the butter, cheddar cheese and spring onions accompanied by the specialty bangers of pork and apple w/the veggie broth. Not sure I received the right mash but it was delicious all the same. The pork and apple sausage couldn't really taste the apple but they were tender. Hate when you get a sausage and they spurt at you so very happy I wasn't wearing it. Enjoyed the onions in my broth. If the mash had butter and cheese need to amp that up a bit cause couldn't taste it at all. Service was quick. Felt bad as there were only 3 staff for a dinnertime rush and they were beyond busy. It's a cozy location w/quite a few tables squeezed into the space. So loud in there couldn't hear myself think. A solid offering... read more

I wanted to try British mash and pie and I really enjoyed Mother Mash! I came around dinner time and didn't need to wait for a table. It's a bit crowded inside but not too loud, and everything moves very quickly. The pie was nicely flaky and not too thick, while the gravy and mash were excellent. I also tried the sticky toffee pudding, which was overly sweet, but otherwise good if you avoid the caramel sauce. read more

Not pretty to look at, but still one of my favorite meals in London! This time around, I ended up at the Carnaby location and the even though it was a different location, the servers were still the absolute sweetest. I ordered a vegan lincolnshire with cheesy mustard mash and onion gravy and it was absolutely delicious. The vegan sausage was nothing to write home about. BUT, the cheesy mash with whole grain mustard was phenomenal. The mustard giving this mash a subtle kick which prevented it form being monotone. Combined with the onion gravy, it was such a delightfully savory dish. Keep in mind, reservations are DEFINITELY recommended. But overall, I still recommend this as a must if you're looking for classic British fare that's not boring! read more

Always trying to find a good pie and I finally made my way to Mother Mash. Been hearing about it and missed it last time I was in London but glad I came back around. This location in Carnaby is surrounded by shopping and food options so you have lots of choices for exploration after a heavy meal. Came at a bit of a late lunch hour and it was still somewhat patron'ed but service was friendly and fast. Basically choose your mash, pie/bangers, and gravy. I went with bubble&squeak, farmers, and a stout and it was all fantastic. Very great pastry on the pie and nice texture on the bubble&squeak. Farmer's was also nice with good chunky mushrooms, pearl onions, and bacon. I ate my whole plate and was quite full so ready to head back out to shops. Definitely a great spot to pop in for some traditional pie and mash! They do have ac as well which helped in the summer heat (84 degrees has never felt this hot to me) read more

Where has this place been my whole life? The most delicious sausage and pies ever. The London Smokey was my favorite and the champs potato with onion gravy. Chicken, mushroom and bacon pie was divine, and the puff pastry on top was chef's kiss. Would love to come back and try other options available. Staff was super friendly and provided the best recommendations. You should ask them if you're not sure what to order. read more

Everything was amazing!! We actually got there at the right time to get seated! About 10 min after we arrived, the wait line was long!! We got seated right away (about 5 min) and then we got our drinks on first. I tried their cider on special raspberry hibiscus and we also tried a couple beers (we're not beer drinkers {whiskey only} but they were actually good). It was a nice and cozy restaurant and eating our sausage and mash there made it even better! The ambiance definitely gave a homey and cozy vibe. I would recommend this restaurant to dine in! Well worth your travels (if you're fooodies like us), and if you have to wait, it's so worth it! read more

Full disclosure. I ate this 4 months ago and after a transcontinental flight and a Peloton ride. I still think about it sometimes. The perfect pie, the stellar mashed potatoes (they changed my life- mustard in potatoes is friggin brilliant). And the gravy. Bacon gravy. I also treated myself to a local ale because why not? I'm dying to go back next time Im in London. It was truly exceptional. Service was kind and helpful In helping me choose. I sat up front but there seemed to be a lot of seating. Very pubby atmosphere. I liked it. read more

Wonderful stop for my first night in London. Had been wanting to try pie and mash, couldn't have picked a better spot. Lots of different options to personalize your dish (different types of mash, sausage or savory pies, and different gravies to top it all) while keeping true to traditional British comfort food. The area was crowded when we went but there was an open table outside so we were able to quickly sit. Great service, affordable meal, incredibly filling. read more

An entire restaurant devoted to potatoes and gravy. What could be better? Not much in my estimation. I was super thrilled to find multiple vegetarian options.

Mother Mash is a great visit for high quality and quickly served Bangers and Mash. You don't see too many restaurants that can serve 5 star food with fast food efficiency. Mother Mash is one of them. Even my wife, who is not a big fan of bangers and mash, raved about the food. The menu allows you to customize your dish by choosing different styles of Mash, Sausages or Pies, and Gravy. I had the Cheesy Mustard Mash and Cumberland Sausage with Traditional Gravy. The potatoes were super creamy and cheesy with a nice mustard flavor. The sausages were nicely tender and flavorful and the gravy was thick and heavenly rich. read more

Yessssss!! We mad a resy at 12 on Sunday when they open. Great concept. You pick from different a list of different types of mashed potatoes, your meat-sausage, steak, pork, chili pork, veg,etc then pick your gravy. We ordered and the server was very polite and courteous. Our meals came quickly. Interior is crisp and clean and what a value! About 14-15 pounds per meal. We also have the apple crumble with ice cream came with two scoops, but no picture... We gobbled it up too quick! read more

Classic British comfort food at its finest without breaking the bank. If you are looking for a typical bangers and mash without all the hoopla, this is your restaurant. You could get it with all the pomp and circumstance too, but that would be missing the point. The point is simplicity, and this little restaurant near Piccadilly Circus gets most of this point across. It is worth going here after a nice morning of shopping. The meal is hearty and genuinely tasty. Normally, I am skeptical of mashed potatoes outside of the home but these work incredibly well. If there is one thing Europe outdoes us in, it is cooking mashed potatoes. Take notes please USA. Now I know why people told me I had to stop by here. read more

Still dreaming about this meal. We got lucky with a table of two at prime dinner time and service was friendly and fast. My steak blackheart stout pie and champ mash was absolutely delicious. The pie crust was flaky and buttery. The beefy center was meaty and juicy. The mashed potatoes was loaded with scallions and butter. The gravy was very unique with the red wine, onions and mushroom concoction. My husband got the Cumberland sausage with bubble and squeak fried mash. Very interesting and like nothing I've ever had. Worth a try! Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

I had one small bite of his food and was completely find, he ate his whole meal and was unwell the rest of the night and into the next day. I truly loved the dish that I had, it was one of the best things I ate while in London. The place was adorable and we say outside for our meal. The dessert was a bit underwhelming, the pie wasn't full cooked and was a bit soggy.
