At the Sign of the Eel.
P & M again.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Wow!!!! What a sign and the Pie and Mash!!!!
Looks fantastic! Just how I like it.
Got to give that one a go. Well worth a trip "Over The Water"
Thats the best Eel and Pie House sign I have seen.
Mark Pie-Filled! (Aka Mr B)

The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!

If you can get to Redbridge Station one day next week, consider it my treat.

I remember my grandfather taking me to the pie and mash shop in East Ham and a fishmonger nearby always had lots of live eels for sale back in the 50s and 60s

Re: At the Sign of the Eel.
Hi mate,
Thanks for you kind offer! That sounds grea!!!
I can drive over and park up then ride my bike to the "ronyvoo"
Not sure how flexible you can be but next weeks weather for driving in traffic looks grooling!
I was free Tuesday but it's looking like a real scorcher.
I am most definitely up for it and don't mind paying the ulez charge or parking for the sake of good Pie and mash and have a meet up.
All the best
Mark

Derek Strittons story about being sent to the eel shop and the " pleasure" of riding on the bus home with a bag of eels trying to get out.GameKeeper wrote: ↑Fri Jul 15, 2022 12:08 pm I remember my grandfather taking me to the pie and mash shop in East Ham and a fishmonger nearby always had lots of live eels for sale back in the 50s and 60s
So sad the change from a nuisance to such a rare and under pressure species
