Scooby Wednesday, February 12, 2014	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! Been going to Harrington's in Tooting for the last 30 years since my school days - used to be something like 37p for pie/mash & sauce! Ahhh well, still worth the money.
MIKE CHARLTON Friday, December 06, 2013	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I used to go there as a boy and collect pies mash and liqueur take home for dinner, have been back a couple of times since, But this weekend I am taking my wife Daughter and my Grandchildren its there first time, and its been 25 years since my last visit can''t wait.
reg giddings Saturday, September 21, 2013	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! WAS BOUGHT UP IN 40 & 50,S ON PIE MASH &EELS ,COLLECTED IN A JUG & A BAG. Haven,t been for 15 years or so,now I live in Devon. I see that "Manzes" sell in online ,why don,t you follow suit. I have had it in Bermondsey & East End but it does not compare to yours. Sincerly Reg Giddings
David Brown Monday, July 01, 2013	Loved the food! Loved the service! The ambience was okay My grandfather loved jellied eels, so I blame him. So sad that there are so few pie & mash shops left now. The secret is the taste of the liquor - and Harringtons has the best - worth travelling for double eels & mash ! Could do with a spot more mash and look more like Tower Bridge Rd Manzis - but I like the twenties feel of this shop. My only real complaint is that my girth has increased after years of double eels so that I can hardly Squeeze along the benches now. Oh - and you can get your hair cut over the road for £4 !
Acatlover Saturday, June 15, 2013	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! Discovered this Pie and Mash shop a couple of weeks ago, although it is three train rides from Fulham will be going there on a regular basis. It was like stepping back in to a time when my Mum used to take us to Jerdan Place Pie and Mash shop which is now a barbers!
Diane Hill Saturday, January 12, 2013	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I live in France with my 85 year old husband. He was born in Tooting and ate here regularly as a kid/adult We are back in u.k. soon and will travel from Wiltshire to Tooting so that he can once again enjoy his favorite meal. In this world of constant change thank you for staying the same!
Dee Elliott Tuesday, November 27, 2012	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! Been having Pie and Mash here for over 40 years. Tried many others but none match up. My husband wont eat it from anywhere else.
Paul Woodman Tuesday, November 06, 2012	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I have probably eaten in nearly every Pie & Mash shop in London and this is by far the best. I remember going their as a kid with my dad in the 1960s and the food and decor is still the same as it was all those years ago. Keep up the good work Harringtons.
Lynne Lawrence Friday, November 02, 2012	Loved the food! Loved the service! Liked the ambience The best pie and mash shop ever. I no longer live in Tooting and make special trips back to stock up. Have tried other shops but never quite match up.
Simon H Saturday, September 08, 2012	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I was bigging you up on a social networking site the other day and, as I have moved back to Tooting, I thought I'd drop in for the first time in many, many years. Exactly the same. One of the things I like best is you don't have 97 different varieties, it's just "pie, double mash, large licker, please". Great stuff and all for under a fiver. Gorgeous food and RIDICULOUS value. Also, after the interweb discussion, I checked out a couple of restaurant comparison sites. You are OFFICIALLY the best pie and mash shop in London. Top bombing. Keep it up
Richard Edgeworth Tuesday, August 07, 2012	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! Best in South London keep going still the best old London grub avaiable.

mikey Thursday, October 27, 2011	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! My goodness, this takes me back. I was born in Tooting and I used to go here at least 3 times a week. My mum used to go to the (long gone) Vogue Bingo hall round the corner and i would meet her after when we would pop into Harrington's. I am now 50 and remember the stall in the market and the branch in Earlsfield. Great days. Now living in Sussex but my brother still goes here. Great to see it is still going strong.

Lesley Gilbert Wednesday, January 12, 2011	Loved the food! Loved the service! Liked the ambience Great food, excellent value and sadly one of the last Pie and Mash shops around, has to be the best in London now. We used to use their sister shop in Wandsworth Rd, which has since closed down, so now get our unfortunatley infrequent fix whenever we visit our family in Battersea having moved to West Sussex 10 years ago. Long may it reign.
Micky Ryan Wednesday, November 17, 2010	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience!

KEN Crawley Monday, July 26, 2010	Loved the food! Liked the service Liked the ambience Been going to Harringtons for the last 60 years. Hope to be going for the next 60 years. Wandsworth Rd my first tast of necter. Then i got married. What happend to the old black bird that used to sit at the end of the counter, calling out for more pies, not even a please. Always went after Saturday mornning flicks.
Ali maggigan Friday, July 23, 2010	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! Harrington’s pie & mash is without a doubt the best cuisine going – so much so that my best friend Lydia Carruthers (of Raynes Park) has been known to eat your leftovers out of the dustbin – a sure fire seal of approval if ever I’ve seen one... I also praise Harrington’s for filling her labyrinth of vodka bottles with vinegar – for although she is a raging alcoholic and the descendant of gypsies – pie, mash and licker will always be her first love... Thank you.
Trudie Wednesday, June 30, 2010	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I was born and bred in Tooting 1A, Cowick Rd, and was brought up on Pie, mash and liquoer. My late mother often used to send me to get some to take home on a Saturday as a treat. Taking our own bowls, empty jam jars, and then licking off all that lovely mash that got stuck to the paper bag once I had got it home. I wasn't keen on the jellied eels or stewed ones, but my mum loved them although my father was not that keen either. (I think I was put off by watching the lady in the market shop of Harringtons chop up all the wiggling slimy eels, that they had in the big metal trays on show with an enormous lump of ice melting on top of them, and seeing all the blood wiped all over her white apron) Am not sure if the shop in the market is still there?, but I am glad that there is still one in Selkirk Rd, as I used to go to Ensham school with a girl called Jackie and she worked there, I think she married one of the owners back then in the 1975/76's. Hoping to come back to the UK soon as have been living in Tenerfie for the last 8 yrs, and will def. go to Tooting, to have my old fav. Pie mash and liq. Yum. keep it going.
june sanders Wednesday, June 02, 2010	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! Have been going to Harringtons since the late seventies ( my husband introduced me !!! ) find it a bit of a squeeze nowadays to get behind the table ( too many of their pies !! ) but love the atmosphere and always friendly staff. My son has eaten the pies since he was old enough for solids and all the family enjoy them , I don't very often get to sit down to eat it but always take it home ( and enjoy it every bit as much ) I hope that Harrington's will always stay where it is and that the family carry on the tradition through to their next generation. I am just going to go there now as all this talk of pie and mash is making me hungry !
Mick Sinclair Tuesday, May 18, 2010	Liked the food Liked the service The ambience was okay Does Dave Johnson stil work at your shop ?? I am an old football freind and just thought that I would look him up cheers Mick

Linda Tuesday, March 02, 2010	Loved the food! Loved the service! Didn't like the ambience HELP!!! Me and my family have made a special trip every couple of months to Harringtons in Tooting because it is so delicious. My sister went by there 2 days ago and she said it was closed and boarded up!!. Please can someone tell me if they have gone for good or moved elsewhere. It would be a terrible sin to lose this icon of a place. Also the people and food.
george doel Saturday, February 27, 2010	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I have been eating pie and mash at harringtons for over 60 years ( I am now 72) My daughter took me for pie and mash as a treat for my 70th birthday. have just had a phone call from my 14 year old grand daughter pleading with me to take her and my daughter for pie and mash next week ( we live in Coulsdon Surrey ) Without hesitation the answer was yes!!! There is no better pie and mash anywhere
JOHN HOMAN Saturday, February 27, 2010	Loved the food! Liked the service Liked the ambience I'M NOT SURE IF HARRINGTONS IS STILL OPEN IN TOOTING? BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I LIVED IN TOOTING AT THE OUT BREAK OF WW2, AND AS A THREE YEAR OLD MY GREAT GRAN USED TO TAKE ME THERE FOR A "THREE PENNY BOWL" THAT WAS STEWED EELS AND MASH WITH LICOUR IN A SMALL BOWL,JUST FOR KIDS. LATER WHEN I WAS ABOUT 10 OR 12 IT WAS A WEEKLY VISIT TO PICK UP A JUG OF EELS AND MASH FOR MY DAD. hE WOULD GIVE ME TUPENCE FOR THE TRAM TO THE BROADWAY AND BACK. BUT I USED TO RUN THERE AND BACK AND SAVE THE FOURPENCE TO GET ANOTHER HELPING OF MASH ON MY PIE! I ALSO LIVE IN KENT NOW BUT EVEN AT 73 YEARS OLD TODAY I HAVE WARM MEMORIES OF HARRINGTONS AND MY PIE AND MASH .
Theresa Sunday, February 07, 2010	Hated the food! Hated the service! Hated the ambience! Well what can I say I married a londoner from Tooting who never ate the pie and mash even thought he lived in undine street, but I loved it by the way im from solihull west midlands and happened to be there this week end and begged my Alan to stop in Tooting to get my pie and mash and yes it lived up to my dreams 23 years later thanks ever so harringtons your the BEST
Martin Hill Friday, December 25, 2009	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! My parents remembered going in when they were doing the paintings on the walls and it was always my favorite treat as a young kid to go there. In 1980, some three months after we got married, I took my wife there, just saying that we were going to what I considered the best restaurant in London. She was a bit taken aback when she walked into the place wearing all her finest and, being from Leeds, did not have a clue what Pie Mash was all about, (thier version was pie and peas, where the "pie" was a hot pork pie - FAIL). Unfortunately, she used one of the eel bone "spitting" jars to stub out a Dunhill International cigarette in and got a good telling-off from one of the regulars. I had to agree that it was a disgusting thing to do and we had our first big argument as a couple. Happy days. Whenever I am back in the area, still make a pilgrimage to the wonderful place. No other pie mash comes close.
gary Saturday, December 05, 2009	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I just remember those marble slab tables and the tiles and mirrors, bench seats, sitting along side mums with thier kids, old women gossiping about thier men, old men doing the same. It just felt right, like the history of the place would never end. I tried a pie and mash shop in Welling, near to me, I made the mistake of saying the time old phrase -- 'double pie, double mash and lots of licker'............. In Tooting when it was always busy, that was the norm. But, in Welling he thought it was being rude! Anyway, it wasn't the same.............. probably pies were not home nade and instead of scraping your mash onto the sde of your plate, they used scoops like a dinner lady at school............ now thats wrong ain't it?
Gary Saturday, December 05, 2009	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I grew up in Links Rd, Tooting. My Dad was Ken Smith, the window cleaner, some of you probably know him (a real gentleman till he died a few years ago). Pie and mash was a weekly treat for us. Mum would spend hours in British home stores at the end of the road, then through the market to the back entrance of M&S, Me and my sister and my dad loved to spend the time in 'Selkirks' as we called it. 'Double Pie, double mash and lots of licker' (spell) Jellied eels on the side. Years later, when he was older and not very well, he was in St Georges, we would pick up a take away for him and take it up to his ward. Didn't take long for the rest of the other patients to give their orders and we were carrying up bags full of the best nosh in London.......... Nite dad
Gina carver Thursday, November 12, 2009	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I grew up on Harringtons pie and mash every saturday for tea heaven.I am now 47 and still love pie and mash,although i have not had it for a while.I am taking my hubbie and kids ther soon,just so they no what i am talking about.
Debbie Thursday, September 10, 2009	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I grew up on Selkirk road number 25, till the age of eleven, then moved to Wales, the one thing i have always missed is good old pie & mash. I dont get to London very often, but when i do ill call for some pie & mash, When i was a kid i used to trot down to the pie & mash shop for my mum in my dressing gown, with jam jar in hand to get her some jellied ells, only if i could have some pie & mash. Looking forward to my next visit in October, carn't wait.
Tayla Grant Saturday, August 22, 2009	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I Have Been Going To Harringtons For About 18 Years Now. And Was A Big Part Of My Childhood.

Ray kerslake Friday, August 21, 2009	Loved the food! Loved the service!

Vicky of Buckingham Monday, June 08, 2009	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! Having grown up on pie and mash and a memory of having pie and mash on the way home from Saturday morning ABC in North End Road. It was a treat to find Harringtons in Tooting as I remember the original and this is the original recipe of pie mash and liquer. Its nectar to us who were born in the 50s and who used to be sent by our parents to the pie and mash shop for a take away. Kids now who think McD is the best take away havent lived as the original eat in and take away is the good old pie and mash. Long may it be served and Harringtons you are the best. Wish there was as good in Bletchley

Danny Tuesday, December 16, 2008	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! This is the stuff of dreams!!! I have eaten all over the world, but the one place that comes to mind when someone asks "what’s you favourite food" is Harrington’s Pie 'n' Mash Selkirk Road, Tooting. My family have been coming for generations and remember the old parrot perched on the landing and the old dumb waiter and till upstairs. Great memories, great simple food - that always give you a nostalgic feeling.
jack bye Thursday, October 09, 2008	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! Harringtons is the best pie and mash shop around no argument about it. My Grandad has been taking me and my cousins there for years on saturday mornings on the way to football. Now ive moved to bournemouth and really need to find another one.
helen ayliffe Wednesday, August 06, 2008	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! Yep, even at the ripe old age of 51 I can still squeeze in between the bench and the marble top tables in Harringtons - life just would not be the same without pie and mash. May Harringtons never, ever close. Is Tooting the only branch left now ?
sharon wells Wednesday, August 06, 2008	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! My dad took my sister and i as babies.. we were brought up on pie and mash.. Harringtons is the best in England.....loved the old mum with her blue rinse hair do..she did the washing up.. Was help yourself to clean cutlery from a big plastic bowl..jam jars on the table to spit the eel bones in and the old vodka bottles with the vinegar in....My dad has passed away now but we still go and think of him as we eat it.... Long live Harringtons....
Iris Pettitt Thursday, July 10, 2008	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! As children in the 50's our weekly treat was pie and mash and we just loved it and still do. When my brother was in the Army during the 70's and coming home on leave, he was asked by the lads in his regiment to bring back pie n mash. So I had to phone and order about 50 pies and containers of liquer so that he could take it back to Ireland where the troops were based. My newphew who lives in Malaysia has to make you one of his first visits, and the same thing applies to my niece who lives in Hong Kong. I am coming down from Lincolnshire and guess where my first port of call is? Yes the Pie n Mash Shop. Plus orders to take it back to the family.
Danny Mills Friday, April 04, 2008	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I was born in 1956, and as a child my family were treated once a week to pie and mash from harringtons, I remember as a 6 year old walking to harringtons with my Mum to get the take away with our own glass jars for the mash and liqour. Fantastic stuff. I now live in South Africa and every time I visit London Harringtons is first place on my visit list, the ambiance is perfect, apart from a coat of paint here and there the decor hasn't changed since I was a kid. Great stuff, Harringtons should be preserved as a heritage site..
L Saturday, March 29, 2008	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! i am 21 and have always loved pie mash. i try to go once a week normally but now being pregnant i do go sometimes 2 or 3 times a week. i love it and cant eat it anywhere else.
Piemaster Ken Monday, March 10, 2008	Liked the food Liked the service Loved the ambience! Very nice pies and mash, gladly in the same league as Cooks (W12). Pies slighly smaller than elsewhere and take a close look at the price board. No Liquor here its Licker all the way, unique and charming. Get there whilst you can, London needs to hang on to Pie and Mash, perhaps we should make it law for the 2012 Olympians to train on a double double each day!

Paula Wednesday, November 29, 2006	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! What can you say WOW, LOVE IT, WANT IT, MORE.Grandparents Parents Aunts Uncles Friends & I have been going there for years and years, even after moving to Banbury, and then Bournemouth . The owners are brilliant, cheerful, helpful. The Ambience makes you want to stay all day. The value excellent far better than McDs. KFC or any other fast food. I now have it bought back to me if not able to get there albeit it frozen. Even had it on my wedding day. What more can you say, apart from Thank you and No more holidays its along way to come to find you closed!!
Peter Monday, November 27, 2006	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! If you like Chas and Dave, you will love this place. Not only does the food tast great but the atmosphere is total, traditional London. I have been going there since I was a young child and I think its whonderfull that as it is a family run buisiness the faces I remembered as a child are still welcoming me to this day. This is one place that can't be emmulated (unlike your coffee shops and burger joints). This is real and truely enjoyable. Don't deny yourself the pleasure. One visit is enough to drag you in and keep you coming back. My personal choice is double pie and mash. I load the pie and mash with the spiced vinegar and salt (yum). I have never ventured into the eels but one day I may give it a go (eels are truely traditional). Love the place. Long may harrington's live and carry on trading forever and never lose its roots and tradition.

John Dickinson Sunday, July 30, 2006	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! My family has always eaten Harrington's delicious pie, mash, eels and liqour whenever we are in the Tooting area. We live in Wallington, Surrey about 8 miles away and when the mood takes us, and it often does, we jump in the car and cheer ourselves up with the thought that we will soon be eating in the pie and mash shop! Their food is nutritious and very tasty - just how do they make those pies! We have got to know the people who work in the shop well over the years and enjoy chatting with them. The proprietor and his family are very friendly and always make us feel welcome. You can also meet some local colourful characters. Our nearest pie shop in Sutton just cannot compete!
Sandy Thursday, July 20, 2006	Loved the food! Loved the service! Liked the ambience We live in New Zealand and my hubby longs for Harrington's Pie and Mash. in fact it drives him nuts when he rings his parents and they say "guess what we just had for tea".................I wonder if Harringtons would give me the recipe and I could cook it at home for him cause he drives me nuts dreaming about it. Looks like when we come back to london for a visit all we will be eating is this awsome Pie and Mash! Keep it up
jase Tuesday, July 11, 2006	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! What do i say!... this place is fantastic ive been coming here since i was a kid and have been to loads of other pie mash shops all around and this is by far my fav!!! on weekends if me and my brother had been good, (forget maccy ds or fish & chips) mum used send me and my younger brother to go fetch pie and mash! great days im 18 now and i still drop by everytime im in tooting, if your ever there i strongly recommend popping in...
Annette Thursday, April 06, 2006	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I have been eating pie and marsh since i was a child, my mum used to take all the kids to the pie and marsh shop, give us the pie and marsh and then go off and do her shopping, i would not know what to do if the shop closed down as there not alot of good pie and mash shops around any more, i also am 3 months preganat.
Chelle Jarman Monday, March 27, 2006	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! i have been going to harringtons since i was a baby with my mum. I'm now nearly thirty! Mum said even as a baby i would eat the mash and liquer all mixed up. At the moment i'm three months pregnant and i'm craving for pie and mash, but unfortunately i now live 20 miles away and the only time i go to tooting is to visit my great nan who is 96 and she has also been going to harringtons for a very long time. The shop is very old fashioned but it adds to the atmosphere. There is always a queue outside so that must tell you how good it is. If you are ever in tooting you must visit HARRINGTONS pie and mash shop!
Dan The Man Thursday, December 15, 2005	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! This is the place of legends! If you find yourself in Tooting, eating here is a must. I live in Bristol now but still find myself getting stuck in to "double pie and mash" when ever i come back to the home lands. Check it out. you won't be disapointed...
jason Saturday, December 10, 2005	Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the ambience! I have been going to harringtons since i was a kid,i'm nearly 40 now. I have to say it is by far the best pie and mash shop in our fair city. I don't make this boast lightly because i think i been to every pie shop in town at one time or another, and they just dont cut it.
Tuesday, August 19, 2003	Loved the food! Liked the service The ambience was okay The best pies in South London, a shame they have to go on holiday. If your getting pies to take-away always ask for cold ones because hot pies by the time you get home the pastry is no longer crispy.
