I make a mean Rice n Peas or a classic Mutton Biriyani - but admittedly, plain rice on it's own is pretty bleak.
Your Pie n Mash though, it's alright but I can think of a hundred things I'd chose over it if I were planning on eating out. A bunch of us ordered some in from that famous Harrington's in Tooting last year for one of the girls birthdays at work. It was nice enough but I just didn't understand the furore over it. It's nothing I couldn't make myself in under an hour.
Had an excellent Falafel and Hulloumi cheese wrap at Kingston Market the other week, it was a taste sensation.
Couldn't agree more - tastes of nothing, lumpy bland mash, bland mince, watery liquor...there's a reason it's died out. I love pie and mash when it's done properly, but can't be doing with the slop they knock out at Pie and Mash shops.
Not very close. ( but closer than Ipswich) . Royal College Street Camden. Camden Road overground station turn right at Station under the rail bridge then about 200yds on the left.

Cooke's was always decent , a little overpriced for what it was though.
A plate of stewed eels and mash was also a nice alternative.

Had Pie and Mash once... reminded me of school dinners
A milkman gets an order for 45 pints of milk. Puzzled, he decides to ask the customer if this is a mistake.
When he knocks on the door, a woman comes out wearing just a bath towel, and she confirms that she wants 45 pints. "Milk baths are good for your skin," explains the woman.
"Oh, OK," replies the milkman. "Do you need it pasteurized then?"
"No," says the woman. "Up to my tits will be fine."

There's Cockneys at the top end of Portobello road going towards Barlby road off Ladbroke Grove. Which is in reasonable walking distance from LR or a no. 70 bus down to Du Cane.

spooky, was thinking the same on Saturday. I travel into Kings Cross and used to go to one opposite Mount Pleasant sorting office, but that's been shut a while now. Knew Cookes closed, and wondered where I could go. All I could think of was the Manze's across Tower Bridge, but that's hardly on the way
Didn't know about Cockneys, will give that a go next time I come down to HQ.
Anyone who finds themselves near the Cambridge/Suffolk border, I can recommend Brown's in Haverhill
