M.Manze Peckham is a traditional pie and mash shop at 105 Peckham High Street. Opened in 1927 by company founder Michele Manze, it remains one of the family business’s historic London dining rooms and a direct link to the city’s working food culture.
Handmade pastry encloses minced beef with a little gravy to create the classic pie. A soya mince version offers a vegan alternative, while potatoes are peeled, cooked and mashed on site to preserve their straightforward, hearty character.
Parsley liquor is the traditional accompaniment, bringing colour and savoury depth alongside mash. Stewed and jellied eels extend the menu into another longstanding London speciality, with chilli vinegar available for diners who want extra sharpness and heat.
Tea or coffee keeps the meal simple, and the quick daytime service reflects the shop’s roots as an early form of London fast food. M.Manze is best for diners seeking an authentic, affordable plate in surroundings shaped by nearly a century of Peckham history.
