The details: Located at 45-47 Upper Orwell Street, T's Traditional Pie & Mash serves classic London fare including traditional pies from M. Manze, mashed potato, and the option of authentic liquor sauce or gravy.

The menu extends beyond pies to include jellied eels, desserts, and a range of hot beverages, offering a complete London pie and mash shop experience.

What they're saying: Early customer feedback has been positive, with one diner describing their opening day experience as "spot on, a credit to all involved."

The bottom line: The venue operates Tuesday to Thursday from 11:00 to 16:00, and Friday to Saturday from 11:00 to 18:00. It is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Customers can choose between eating in, taking away, or having their food delivered.
