After two weeks in Asia, I was desperate for some good pub food. I know some of you will think I’m mad, after all British food has such a bad reputation, right? Wrong! You’ve been listening to far too many Americans and we all know where that leads!. My very own American had been recommended The Marquess Tavern in Canonbury as a place with amazing food. I was pretty sceptical, but as soon as we walked in the door and checked out the menu, I couldn’t believe I’d never been before. Seafood, steaks, sides aplenty, it’s like the mothership was calling me home. In case you didn’t know, I am obsessed with sauces. To call me the Queen of Condiments would be an understatement.
Cosy pub, decent burger good chips nice ales. Worth a repeat visit but not going to set your world on fire. Have heard good reviews of platters and shared meat dishes, will give a try to other places 1st. Duke of Cambridge is a better gastro pub nr angel
Went for Sunday lunch. Nice place, friendly staff and a pleasant relaxed vibe. Main course (rack of lamb) was excellent, the rest okay. Wine was a bit too warm. Our muttley was well looked after by our waitress and got a bowl of water. I'd happily go back.
A style all of its own. A magnificent building, the Marquess Tavern is a superb place to visit. A great part of the Young's offering, well done to all concerned. Great beer and wonderful friendly service. A beautiful sophisticated pub. There is a simple, but well presented menu, the food looks great (I did not have time to indulge). I recommend a visit.
Our new local. Absolutely love it here ,very chilled atmosphere and authentic old English pub. Beer garden is very cosy. Great food and wonderful pints of Guinness. The staff there at the moment are top notch, sound lads!
Super tasty pub dinner in a great location. Althought not too close to any tube, this pub deserves a visit. The service was quick and the staff was cordial, great vibe. Desserts also very tasty, good choice of drinks. Bit pricey overall.
Nice spacious, bright interior, good location in a pretty residential area of Islington. I didn’t eat so can’t comment on food, bar service was good. Atmosphere - it was very quiet on the rainy Saturday afternoon we visited, hence the 3 stars. However, not a bad thing it was quiet as this was a relief after the noisy pub we’d moved on from where holding a conversation was difficult.
One of the best for atmosphere for pubs. So cozy, thanks to the decor and furniture. Good drinks and cocktails and fun selection of board games. I've come back here a few times and it's consistent. If you're in the mood for a quieter drink and good food try here.
Had a very pleasant evening beer sitting outside watching the world go (slowly) by. Friendly service too. Great pub in an extremely nice quiet corner of London. Will be back to try the food.
Great vibe, unique building, great drinks and food - and super nice staff. Really cool place!
Discovered this beautiful pub on a Friday night. There’s a lovely outdoor patio area, with and without heaters. There’s also an indoor fireplace for the winter.
The food is great, I stuck to the standard fish and chips and friends has steak and veggie dishes. Everyone loved it.
The staff were also friendly and efficient. Good vibes in here. Can’t wait to go back
Very friendly and warm greeting at the door. My parents-in-law were visiting and the manager serving us got everything just right. Safe options for them were recommended which the enjoyed a huge amount. If you’re looking for more adventurous dishes featuring kimchi/miso etc. this probably won’t be the place. But if you’re looking for well done pub classics in an off the beaten track, relaxed and cosy atmosphere then this is it! Burger was very good but, if I’m being picky, it was on the dry side and lacked some juiciness. Wine recommendation was spot on and worked well for everything we were eating. Also the table service (while not what normally happens) fit well with the in-laws. Will be back soon! Oh and the chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream and caramel was actually excellent. Thanks for a great night.
