1970s East End of London, people eating in Pie and Mash shop
"we have eels, we are an eels shop, and we sell eels."... no messin.
Brits and their eel pie! LMAO
Eels are not in the pies but in a clear fishy jelly on their own, enjoy with vinegar.

Eels up inside ya, finding an entrance where they can
I was trying to work out which shop and she mentioned Dalston at the end. Until recently it was the Shanghai chinese restaurant . The interior and frontage are listed and has great eel mosaics at the entrance and silver eel mirror holders. The shanghai has just left and waiting to see what will become of it next.
Thats Mary Cooke, in Cookes Broadway Market!....I worked there in 1965 on a Saturday...This brings back many happy memories of those days.. I also see Phyllis , Mary's sister who worked there sometimes.. Can still remember Mary calling ' Pies up Please'.....
So this was a pie and mash shop in a market? Where was it?
@Rhe Nah creepy question
Brilliant. Thanks for the filling in the backstory -- you were part of a marvelous chapter in the history of London.

Didn’t she say plates up please ?
Strong woman. Hard graft. Simple living, manners, good efficient service. Those were the days!

There is something very relaxing about this video.
I was just thinking the same lol.
It's a reminder of what we used to be, our collective past. I'm a northerner and have never been in a pie'n' mash shop or tasted jellied eels but I recognise the sense of community, tradition, conviviality and downright Englishness of scenes like these.

I'd forgotten this accent. For a while I was hearing my grandma.
Mike Page that is your gran
I listened to a documentary on R4 a few months ago, where the journalist went in search of someone who still has that accent... I think there’s a particular name for it, and he managed to find one elderly lady who still spoke that way. It makes me feel sad to think of that. My ancestry is African but i was born and bred here and I miss hearing those voices.
Mike page. Do you remember Cathrine Tate's "Gran". Well that was mine down to a "t".
"What a fucking liberty". Proper old eastend girl.
Scorpio3 “Cockney”.
Scorpio3 there are literally thousands of people with this accent. It may have evolved slightly since the 70s but not enough to split hairs methinks.
Even in the early 90s and living in London I remember they had a lot of greasy cafes serving beans on toast, fried eggs, sausages, and big mugs of tea! good times!
Hey Anthony,I'm South London all my 50 years ,still quite a few here mate but they don't refill your tes anymore and waitresses all polish ,
They have them in smaller towns. Which is pretty snazzy tbh. Places that apparently secretly refuse to conform lol.
@pjdsa good times! Lol
Fried eggs, proper chips, & tea.
"fired" eggs?
To the racists commenting on this video saying London used to be full of English people I think you need to read some history. Nights in London by Thomas Burke (1918), you'll learn how London was a collection of ghettos, the Chinese, the French, the Jews, the Russians, the Scandinavians. London is and has always been a world city. If you remember it differently that's because you lived in a bubble, your own ghetto.
These establishments, atmosphere, and heritage have a deep, deep special place in a lot of people's hearts. This food, is the food of champions, grafters, the poor, and the rich. My dear Mother brought me up on this and I will enjoy it time and time again until I join her in Heaven. In my humble opinion, the best Pie and Mash left in this green and pleasant land that is England is White's Pie and Mash in Walton on the Naze. East end, east end. Long live Cockney pride! ;)
The rich didn’t eat pie and mash. They also drove out the poor with urban regeneration, knocking down council houses and replacing them with luxury apartments for investors to buy and keep empty.
Honest food, honest people.
And then came multiculturism.

Big on manners here, nice to hear.
Manners cost nothing. Today's generation could learn a lot
@@Shane-Flanagan sadly I don't think that's possible with today's different breed, examples for respect parents specially dads having the time to keep there kids in line specially boys, but as we know these days both parents are usually that busy trying to work and pay bills, due to the way the government have gone on last few years, with no pay rises but many bill rises, example two is the loss of corporal punishment at school, i used to get it most days never made me violent, but with the amount of time kids are in school environment, that corporal punishment was very important.
@@mickharrison9004 Technology has a lot to answer for too. Automatic operators, ATMs, Self service checkouts, online shopping and streaming etc. Yes they have their good points but they take away the personal touch from a service or transaction. There is nothing like stopping a while and making conversation and building up a trust and relationship between employee and customer. Generations going forward are under threat of becoming very anti social. Everything will be done online. People spend too much time stuck on phones, tablets etc and not connecting naturally with one another. It's sad. I know I'm using technology to communicate with you but there should be a limit. Everything in moderation.
@@Shane-Flanagan The dude at 1:07 was pretty rude gesturing for the change woman to hurry up lmao. There have always been rude people just as there have always been polite people.
Double pie and mash 40 pence.
adjusted for inflation it costs about the same. average man earned £7 a week if he was lucky.
One pie double mash 31 pence
ELIAKIM Joseph Sophia bag of chips used to be 4 pence bag of crisps 2 pence
Wot exactly is this mash?
I was born in 1970. I remember going to watch Luton Town with my Grandad in the early 80s, after one game I brought large chips for 50p and walked out with, what looked like a carrier bag load.. my Grandad went mad 😆

Could never stand the eels and whelks my nan used to force feed me, but pie & mash and liquor........ah that hit the spot.
@Al Bundy for President What is the film if you don't mind me asking?
@SkankHunt 420 In my Navy days inport we'd fish along side, and if we caught any eels, we'd give 'em to the Filipino mess boys, they loved 'em.
@SkankHunt 420 Says the twat whose never eaten Eel...............
pigs eat anything
@SkankHunt 420 All you have to do is look into the mirror. Because you're a skank for calling poor people names. You're disgusting and I hope one day you're relegated to eating nothing but eels, maybe you'll learn a little humility. I feel so sorry for your mom.
In '68 I came over from Canada and worked on Bethnel Green Road at what was called a bacon shop (all pork). There was an eel and pie shop a short distance away. Not sure if this was the one. For a young kid from Manitoba it was all very strange to me. I preferred the steak and kidney pies from the Bagel Shop on Valence Rd, right across the road from the Kray twins' mom.
How many english londeners are watching this because we miss our culture, dialect and conmunity.

1:17 onwards for a bit. That young mum and her kid sharing the plate. The pie is turned his way. Sitting on the table with his fork and spoon. That is humanity, What a beautiful moment. And that kid's smile. Real Londoners. We went through some stuff, blackouts and all.

@@philhammond3299 yes but there are food banks everywhere. I'm in Oz, with its huge govt surpluses running into billions of $$, billions in oil and gas money coming in. And yet there are thousands living in tents and cars, can't afford rent, if yr over 50 forget about being given a job. Over here thousands are lining up for food handouts.

@@samyandkitty8399 Sorry but pie n mash / liquor is english through and through not from poland or jewish origin. Its from the east end and docklands. Just out of interest what info do you have to support it being from other parts of europe?
@@Oakleaf700 Liquor is either water or left over water from stewed eels and mixed with parsley. Its a working class/ poor mans food so nothing went to waste. If you ever cross a shop in London do go in, as you can imagine the food is very basic and bot great to taste, but its a great expereince and they tell you the history of pie and mash from the area. All interesting insight about our history.
I lived in Hackney and often had pie and mash for my school dinner in the 60s. Still plenty of shops serving it in east London today and it tastes just the same, lovely.
Same, ...was at Orchard school, over the wall and down to Wells street for pie n mash. Was only 5/6 years old! 😅
Great upload.....Like listening to my Nan's and her 6 sisters every Friday when they took me for Pie n Mash after school when we lived in the East End.Happy Days.
we used to go to Kellys in Roman Road for Pie and Mash after going to Saturday mornings Pictures, remember them.?
What a wonderful video
SilverCharmbracelet it is and also it is good to reminisce. Had pie n mash and liquor the other day and thoroughly enjoyed it. Something magical about the green liquor (parsley sauce) with some vinegar, salt and pepper added to the mix!😁😁😁

The good old days. Still love my Pie n mash and liquor but sadly so many of these traditional east end shops are and have rapidly disappeared. Such lovely EastEnders and efficient and welcoming staff. They worked so hard and such long hours but were so cheerful as you can see from this wonderful video.
There’s still one in Peckham south London or the East lane off the Walworth rd

Brits consider this to be "so cheerful" yet not a smile in the room
@a Kalergi
@a Absolute toss. Blame the removal of rent controls, blame the huge increase in commercial rents, blame the absurdly greedy property developers and their political enablers for the erosion of communities. The working people of London, including immigrants who have always been the life of the city are the victims of these factors. There are housing estates in London with separate entrances and play areas for the rich and the poor.
Do you know Phil and Grant?😁
I remember as a kid being taken by my parents for Pie n Mash in Manzies Chapel St Market Islington. Marble slab tables with wrought iron legs and saw dust on the floor for the old dears who spat out the bones of hot or jellied eels. Great times ;-)
Dinsee Nuffin sounds shit

Love the mum and kid sharing.
I have a 17 year old who still likes to share like that!
@@bebelinii I'm grown af and I still eat like this. 😂
Sharing is important lol.
they were likely sharing because she didn't have a pot to piss in. The benefits system was not very generous and pie and mash is a working class food because its cheap. They were not "good old days" I lived them and i can tell you that you would hate it. The deprivation that was even worse than today..if that can seem possible!
@@insertnamehere5146 I lived them too, I was born in 1963 and I have lovely childhood memories, it was all about family, we didn’t really know how poor we were financially, we were all in the same boat , I do get nostalgic for those days. Even though things are bad now, some children growing up in the pandemic in families where the anxiety doesn’t take over and things are kept pretty normal will take away happy memories of when they got to spend more time with their parents / family and as a result became closer .
@@andalltheangelssay212 i was also born in 63 and know from speaking to my mother and father that this period of their lives were not happy ones. They used to feed me and my sister and wait until we finished so they could eat what we left. Both my mother and father worked but we lived in a upstairs rented flat. I didnt have the responsibilities but i know how hard things were if you were working class. My mother used to have to go to her mother for food hand outs towards the end of the month. she would come back with tins of soup and beans. These were working people! I suppose if you were middle class growing up in the suburbs then it might have been very nostalgic and twee, but for a lot of working people it was miserable

Yet all of my nieces and nephews had cars as soon as they turned 17. I love them all,but they have been ruined,and don't seem to realise the value of things at all.

I'm a Mancunian born and bred. I remember trips to London when I was a kid in the late 70's, it seemed like a foreign country; the accent, the pie and mash, the quick wit, the famous tourist traps, the clever sense of humour, the hustle and bustle that made Manchester seem like a small town. But it was very English. Now when I visit London, it really does seem like a foreign country.

@Sagaris Starlight Couldn't agree more. All this social engineering by the left has made things worse.. and to think they're supposed to be the ones' to help poverty. Can't see it myself. My old dad always said that lefties think they know what's best for us. Bunch of arrogant patronizing bastards, if you ask me
@@johnmiller2290 Well said!!!
A great era the music fashion I'd go back tomorrow if I could
@Sagaris Starlight nail on head
It's because it was your hayday. You were youthful and have fond memories. It definitely does not mean those times were better. To me, this time is way better.
The next generation will feel the same way about their times. And so on and so forth.
If you keep demonising today's times, you'll just keep embracing feeling miserable.
The 1970s was a clothes and style transformation from men wearing suits (even to goto the pub or bar) (in the 1960s) to men and women wearing tracksuits in the 1980s, and ever since then most people wear casual clothes or sportswear now and many people actually look quite scruffy now. People looked and dressed much smarter before the 1970s, even the poorest people.
that was the kid from the Omen movie.
I'm just here for the very predictable comment section.
@Ginger Nutz Back when you lot were shooting innocent people dead in the streets of Derry.
Invading other people's countries tends to trigger people.

Innovative innovation but she can afford that luxury coat.
Why you assume she too poor to afford a potato
I assumed the portions were large and they didn’t offer kids portions. Kids plates came in the 80s and got widespread in the 90s. My mom fed me off her plate in the mid eighties because I’d waste food

My word what gr8 footage .I lived in vic park at that time .I used to go in there .Might even be in this film
Sadly shop closed down , but was one of the best.Pies were bigger aswell and no one today can recreate that pastry , not Maureens , Manzies , kellys or even cookes in hoxton.
I love London and fondly remember the old pie shops. But people prosper and move on, then new people move in. It’s the same in every city in the states too, it’s sad to see the old schools, churches and shops close but it’s because our parents and grandparents worked so hard to give us more choices than they had.
Great to hear everyone using manners. Non of this "can i get some mash" 😉
I hate that, mate.
"Can I get some mash?"
"Er, no mate, stay where you are, I'll get it for you"
No worries......
I hate that!!
It's..... " can I HAVE some mash" 😡
Correct...'can I get', is the start of a question..'so,'can I get, blah de blah'..I don't know..CAN YOU??.....fuckin ignoramusses in this country, now.
@Hugh Jones 'Can i', means'May i'......maybe in your world, Hugh...and if it does mean that, it strikes me ,it sounds a trifle arrogant ...it isn't progress, as far as I'm concerned.
My great aunt was a Londoner, she was ancient when I was about 6 (back in the mid 80's). She used to give me and my brother snuff as a "treat" from a little snuff box, she kept on the shelf over her gas fire..
We'd be sneezing up black stuff for an hour after.
How times have changed...
NIce treat
And did your great uncle take you for a game of stroke the snake in a dark cupboard, for a treat?
Your nan sure knew how to "tear!! 😅...... You and your brother 😂
Lovely Grub me son. Git it darn yer froat sharpish like .Nah wah ah mean.

Sad to see what has happened to London
Saw a guy flicking his hand wanting his change ,bet they short changed people,cocnkney cunts.now where near as good as northern folk,no match at all
Pie mash (Ordinary geezer)
Pie double mash (Hungry ordinary geezer)
Double pie mash (Flash bastard)

I saw the greatest groups in the world in and around 1973 at major London venues:
1/ Led Zeppelin:Wembley Arena 75 PENCE......Pink Floyd debuting Dark Side Of The Moon at Earls Court £1 and both Deep Purple and the following week Creedence Clearwater Revival at THe Royal Albert Hall in the top tier for.......25 PENCE....
I would not agree though that London is a shithole. For 36 fabulous years ( since my first 29 wonderful years in Inner London ) I have lived just 1/2 mile from a London postal district so I can enjoy Hampstead/Docklands/Kensington/Notting Hill/Camden/Kew Gardens/Richmond Park etc plus all The Museums and Galleries and yet I am 50 yards from a 200 acre park with endless meadows/woods/parks on my doorstep and the countryside 15 minutes away and all for £27,000 in 1983 :)
Shame all gone rip London 🙏
Who wishes the east end was still like this in 2021
Proper tings heavy duty tings in the 70’s
Flimsy plastic versions of tings in 2021
Aye, i miss those days and the people, to be honest i quite Loathe the 21st Century and its people.
Proper, proper, proper grub. Beautiful.
not a mobile phone in sight and everyone talking
When I lived near Brixton in South London it was, literally, 99% White British.
I went back near there on Carnival night and struggled to see any Whites though they ARE moving back thru' "gentrification"..
I love pie n mash and liquor miss them so much ❤️👍
A much better way of life and everyone looks fit and healthy,no vegan shit,and no over weight people,everyone worked hard and pulled together,we can learn alot from those days,and improve the mess we are in today I'm sure!
Kenny Rodgers sang you picked a fine time to leave me loose Eel.
I remember having eels & mash with liquor in F.Cooke's Eel & Pie Shop in Kingsland High Street several times in the 1980s. The live eels were on display in a tray in the window. This film may well be of that same shop. It was a great place, full of character and characters and delicious real food. Beats McDonalds or Pizza Hut any day by a country mile.
Can't beat pie and mash🙌
I remember the one in Dalston, it used to have a large tray at the front of the shop with the live eels sliding around in there!
At a young age it was both frightening and fascinating at the same time!
I think the shop was called cookes?
But might be wrong,
I went there twenty years later and it had turned into a Chinese karaoke restaurant, but all the old silver chrome and green tiles were still there!
Just imagine all the brainwashed, liberal vegans seeing that, they'd have a field day!!!

@SkankHunt 420 yes i agree we were broke
@Cantiaci the cost if living was cheap because everyone was broke
@Lavalambtron poor people disagree
@SkankHunt 420 That all depends on personal circumstance. It's far easier to fall into a financial black hole today than it was then. We are in a time of usurers and venal corporations. I'm quite sure you are happy with that though..............
that place needed to be burnt down
