Try another mash 9th December 2008

A little bit average I have to say. We went here with hangovers and while the food certainly staved off our hunger pangs, it didn't really nail the taste thing. I went for the pork and leek bangers with cheesy mash. Firstly the masg, although pretty good, was only 'flavoured; after it was scooped up. So my cheesy mash was my spoon of mash sparsely sprinkled with cheese. My mates 'Irish mash' was the same with spring onions. And so on.
The onion gravy tasted as if it came from a tin and while it all filled me up, I'd probably get more sattisfaction for my £8 elsewhere.

Sweet place tucked away down a side street off Carnaby Street. Loved that the emphasis is on the mash, which is picked before the accompanying pies or sausages! The only slight downside was the portions were a bit on the small side - or maybe I was jut being greedy!

I was starving when I entered this tucked away little joint at lunchtime today. And excited, as bangers and mash is such great comfort food.

I got a fentimans ginger beer to begin [always a good start].

This is similar to S+M cafes around London where you choose your mash, your sausage, gravy and then and sides. This place has pies too.

Obviously I had to have Cheesy mash, but I'm trying to eat more fish at the moment so I went for a fish pie over meaty sausages. A parsley gravy and some beans!

However when the waitress came over they ahd run out of fish pie which added mild panic amongst the ordering and i opted for cheesy mash with mustard, veggie sausages, beef stock and red onion gravy and beans!!!!

tasted absolutely devine though and arrived in under 15 munites of ordering.

I'd like to go back and try the fish pie next time.

The venue itself was set like a diner style but seating was wooden. the ceiling was a series of slanted window pains which menat you could see the blue skies and speedy white clouds cruising by and it created a natural lighting . I can imagine even on a stormy rainy day this would be a great venue as even with the rain beating down you'd feel great comfort in being cosy and stuffing prize mash in your face.

Staff were welcoming and efficient and the whole place was clean.

Cost about a tenner a head.

Nice little central joint. will re-visit.
