This branch of Manzes was opened in 2017, by siblings Tim Nicholls and Jacqueline Cooper, who used to run the much-missed Walthamstow branch, which the club visited a number of times prior to its closure two years ago. Limby took advantage of Peter Harvey’s absence, by shortening the gap at the pole position in the league to a difference of 2.5 points, by consuming a hefty 3&3 plus dessert. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This shop also offers Cherry Pie & Custard for the discerning sweet tooth. Although these are cooked to order, which is a common practise in pie & mash shops, so a 5-10 minute wait is to be expected. Indoor topiary added to the cosy atmosphere of the shop, which only holds 4 tables and up to 20 seats. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

We were joined briefly by Pete (right), a friend of Harry’s who hails from the local area, whom popped in for a quick chat.
