B.J's Pie & Mash

Where other pie and mash establishments have leaned into their history as a means for existing in the future, B.J’s has pivoted not to merch, nor to alternative pies, and certainly not to card machines. No, this cash-only spot in Plaistow has diversified with its potato offering. Namely, chips. It’s a small spot that swaps some of the idealised pie and mash aesthetics for West Ham memorabilia and chilli vinegar in old Jack Daniel’s bottles. Even so, the mince in gravy is some of the finest in town, and the same goes for the service.
