Supper in a Hot Pie and Stewed Eel Saloon
Society & Culture - Cafes, Saloons etc

Distinguishing feature of the Lambeth Walk are the eel and pie saloons, where you can get hot soup, hot pies and parsley sauce, or stewed eels and mashed at a penny, twopence or threepence. Often the whole family is taken.
