Goddards at Greenwich

True pie and mash aficionados will rightly treat Goddards at Greenwich with suspicion. Lamb and… rosemary? Chicken, ham, and mushroom? There is, quite frankly, too much potential for flavour in these combinations. That said, there’s a mix of eager tourists and old locals in this wooden-panelled two-floor space. Traditionalists are better off sticking with the classic minced beef variety. Or, treat yourself with the chilli minced beef. Regardless of what you go for, the overriding flavour will be one of heat. Not of chilli, but of a burning third-degree burn. Credit should be given to the pastry’s crispy texture and the fresh herbiness of the parsley sauce.
