Mother Mash Covent Garden is a British comfort food restaurant at 4 New Row, close to the theatres, shops and bustle of Covent Garden. Its central idea is straightforward and satisfying: diners choose a freshly prepared mash, add sausages or a pie, then finish the plate with a preferred gravy. The casual dining room, collection service and delivery options make the formula useful for both a quick lunch and a warming evening meal.
Mash choices give the meal much of its character, ranging from classic potato to colcannon, bubble and squeak and sweet potato preparations. Sausages include Cumberland, pork with chilli, smoked pork, chicken with garlic and white wine and meat free recipes. Combinations with cheddar, spinach and other seasonings allow each diner to build a plate around familiar ingredients or a more distinctive flavour.
Pies are filled with combinations such as steak and stout, chicken with mushroom and bacon, minced beef, roasted vegetables and chickpeas, or mushroom with dark ale. Traditional gravy sits beside chicken, onion, parsley liquor, vegetable and a farmer style red wine gravy enriched with bacon and mushrooms. Cabbage, peas, beans, tenderstem broccoli, spinach and cauliflower cheese add further comfort and colour around the main dish.
Sticky toffee pudding, chocolate pudding, apple pie or crumble and lemon meringue provide a suitably traditional finish. Vegetarian and vegan sausages, pies, mash and gravies mean mixed groups can follow the same choose and combine format without being restricted to one token option. Mother Mash keeps its focus on generous British staples while giving diners enough variety to make every plate their own.
