Thanks to a handful of restaurants such as the family-run Manze's, England's age-old traditional dish of jellied eels, pie, and mash has proudly entered the 21st century and stars on many English menus.

Manze's is among the city's oldest surviving eel pie and mash houses that has been open since 1891. Although the dish is not as popular as it was before, Manze's still offers succulent jellied or stewed eels, and mince beef in handmade pastry pies accompanied by a choice of gravy or a traditional British parsley sauce called liquor, and potatoes peeled, cooked and mashed on site. Vegetarians can enjoy pies that are created using minced soya.

Tea, coffee, soft drinks, and hot or cold Sarsaparilla are always available.

With its own ordering service, Manze's has entered the technological era and customers who have moved out of the area but still want pie and mash can place orders online
