“A TREAT FOR ALL OF THE SENSES, EVEN TASTE!”

THE TRADITION OF PIE AND MASH

Good old-fashioned “pie and mash” has been a London food tradition since the days of Queen Victoria. A small meat pie and a generous helping of mashed potato with an optional addition of the steaming parsley sauce known as “liquor,” pie and mash became the staple dish for many hungry families and workers alike. Affordable, filling and tasty–it was often the only hot meal one might eat in a day.

LONDON TO NEW YORK CITY

In 2014, Tooting Arts Club staged SWEENEY TODD in Harrington’s–London’s oldest working pie and mash shop. Steeped in history and atmosphere, this quintessential Victorian pie shop proved to be the perfect chamber of horrors for this iconic Gothic tale. Before each show, audience members were welcomed to arrive early to Harrington’s for their very own meal of pie and mash.

We will continue this pre-show tradition with our guests at the Barrow Street Theatre and we’re delighted that former White House pastry chef Bill Yosses has taken on the role as our official pie maker.

“Whatever pie you like, he will make it, and it will be the best pie you have ever eaten.”
– President Barack Obama

 Our shop’s pie maker is former White House pastry chef Bill Yosses.  Most seats within the shop (except Row J) include the option to buy a pre-show meal of pie and mash cooked fresh daily by Bill. We offer three types of pie for either $22.50 (meat and veg) or $29.00 (beef wellington), and the price includes pie, a side of mashed potatoes, an optional herbed parsley sauce known as “liquor” plus either beer, wine or a non-alcoholic beverage. This meal is a substantial main course portion and won’t leave you feeling hungry!  Pie and mash may only be purchased in advance, up until noon on the day of a performance.

One dish brimming with history, an authentic slice of Victorian London if there ever was one–“God that’s good!“
