The empty restaurant is Manze's Pie & Mash Shop in Walthamstow High Street. Jason and I visited it when he came over a few years ago. We got there at the end of the lunch service, so it was pretty quiet while we ate.
The Pie and Mash Shop is a big East End tradition. They also serve eels, which are stewed or jellied. I have to say jellied eels are the most disgusting food on the planet.
Manze's is a particularly nice example of the old, traditional style, pie & mash place, with the original tile and the wooden booths from the turn of the century.
