Pie & mash shop

[Hove Ranger]

And liquer , and the pies are high quality meat.
Fish and chips and a burger and chips from mcdonalds and even a pint is more than that in my local.
What are you trying to say? Good value or bad value. If the latter, tell me what else you could get for four quid that good.

what is £4 nowadays for something to eat? especially in London.

A georges special...pitta bread,kebab meat/chips with garlic/chillie sauce....spare ribs to die for. Spent my evenings playing defender,galaxy,etc in there as a kid-always something going down. I hope that rangers listen to what people say.

Such a legendary gaff

Went to cooke's for the first and last time about 6 months ago. £4 for a pie with one ice cream scoop sized serving of mash!!

Ribs were always good but the nugget roll was my personal favourite as a kid

signed the petition. fkin love cookes.

re: ginge, I pretty much live under the westway now in W9. really curious what the area was like before it was built.

Well as Ginge said, he don't know, but I remember it well Art - I remember what Portobello Road was like in the 60s and 70s (worked on a stall selling Indian tat to Italian tourists when I was 9), what a different world Notting HIll and Ladbroke Grove were then. I also remember carnivals in the late 70s that were something else. So different to the totally controlled corporate ######## you get nowadays.

not all bad news. Kerbisher & Malt voted 11th best chippie in Britain. Located Shepherds Bush Rd., by Brook Green. Anyone sampled their wares?

The fish was rank, looks good but tasteless

Overpriced food served up by surly women in an immigrant infested Carsie. But,im going to miss the place a lot.rarely used it on a match day as food is an unnecessary hindrance for me on such occasions. used to go there regularly for lunch with pals,once went 4 days running and on one of those days had 2 and 2 twice ! Also got into a routine of taking my eldest daughter and nephew there before we walk through bush market where they could marvel wide eyed at the wildlife before popping into Stuart's then nipping into the Rangers shop and then making our escape onto the A40.going to be a sad day when it's gone. Pie and mash isn't everyone's cup of tea but I see it as decent,working class grub (admittedly £8 for a double isn't exactly working class prices) and pie and mash shops will start to fall like dominoes as our culture is further eroded.my old grandad also worked in there when he was a kid skinning the eels,hope that isn't some awful euphemism now I think about it ! Anyway RIP Cookes , il be down there at least once before it goes , hopefully with my eldest and me nephew to have our last meal at a truly iconic gaf.

Such a shame, i've been having Pie & Mash in there for 30 years before matches, the wife and me will miss it a lot.

Oh and i forgot, it will never open at rangers, the owners want out and are retiring and not interested in relocating. Which is a gutter.

if that is the case its a shame .
due to the demand though ,another pie and shop could step up and do a roaring trade at home games; except for cookes i dont know another over West, maybe the club should tap up Manzes ,the home of pie and mash

I have it once a month without fail and have done since a kid, i am going to be properly gutted when it shuts down in three weeks. I know i can go to cockneys in the grove, but as ginge said, its nowhere near as good as cookes. Having it once a week till they shut.

The nugget roll is a classic from George's. All the youts used to rave about it back in the day

And, as stated earlier in the thread, the ribs are superb
