1950s style sausage and mash caf?-come-restaurant.

If you know what you want from a meal and what you want is good old, British sausages and mash then look no further than this north London joint. Dedicated to this most soothing and filling of dishes the restaurant offers 20 varieties of meat and vegetarian sausages and four types of mash, with three different gravies to drown it all in. Simplicity is key to the d?cor as well as the menu. The Essex Road S&M branch has kept the clean lines and wipe-down Formica surfaces typical of the 40s and 50s. Retro signs and a vintage collection of drinks (including Dandelion & Burdock) help maintain this traditional feel. Despite feeling more like a caf? than a restaurant, it still offers all the major benefits of a restaurant ? it?s open late and is licensed. For comfort food in comfortable surroundings a bit of S&M could be just the ticket.

Best for:
Sausages, mash and gravy, dandelion and burdock, formica and the Fifties.

Did you know?
The word sausage comes from the Latin word salsus which means something salted.
