Reviews The Marquis Cornwallis

Since it is always full, waiting is almost inevitable, especially because the ‘Marquis Cornwallis’ is more stylish than the majority of pubs. Also, the food is quite good and the staff very is nice.

Very decent pub food and the service is quite fast. I sampled a lot of the appetizers with a group and they were all very appetizing, however be forewarned the portions are a little small (may be a concern if your group is especially big). Luckily, they have a great deal if you order 5 appetizers or so. It's a nice venue for group dinners and gatherings.

This is a great lazy Sunday / hangover pub. You can catch up on newspapers and magazines, chill out on the couch, sober up with some bangers and mash etc. You get the picture. The decor is also very nice - wooden floors, spacious seating, laid back staff. If I remember correctly the food was also decent. Sit downstairs. Upstairs doesn't have the same atmosphere.

There aren't many pubs that are as good as the Marquis - as far as drinking establishments go it's fairly pricey, but the food and drinks are pretty much second to none. There's a phenomenal selection of ales, lagers and ciders on offer, as well as a decent wine list. Alongside this the food is wonderful - in fact I'd say it's one of the few pubs that can compete with most nearby restaurants in terms of the food on offer. Sadly it's pretty crowded most evenings (even midweek) so getting a table can be tricky, but the decor is lovely so not a bad place to stand around with a pint waiting for a table to free up. Highly recommended.

Recently, I was presented with a challenge. Some friends of mine - out-of-towners, if you will - were looking for a pub in the Bloomsbury area for a Sunday pub-lunch. A Facebook thread was started, and various suggestions pitched to the floor. I calmly waded through the misguided comments, and, with calm authority, suggested the Marquis. I knew that it was a sure-fire choice. Sat facing the ugly Brunswick Centre, the Marquis is a surprisingly pretty pub, nicely done up, and always busy. It is trendy, with a wide array of lagers and ales for those whose fancy such a thing tickles.

That day, sitting among my friends, who chatted and laughed, I couldn't help but feel proud of the atmosphere I had helped to cultivate with my choice of venue. There was a good couple of hours of drinking and merry-making before thoughts turned to the food. One by one, the party flocked to the bar to put in their order. I went with the West Country Beef.

The meat was cooked with consideration, coming out a lovely medium rare, scoring points for both tenderness and taste. The home-made Yorkshire pudding was just gravy, and so too was the gravy. The potatoes were unexceptional, but certainly got the job done. Perhaps my only moan and groan would be with regards to the vegetables, which were a little soggy. Then again, I never ordered the meal for the vegetables. I decided to consider them a decoration, and didn't let them dampen the dish.

And after the meal was done and dusted, we lingered at the comfortable booth in the comfortable pub, and had a few more drinks. Winter was in full swing and the pub was about as cosy as it gets. The weather outside was frightful and all that jazz. The overwhelming drawback is the mullah. This is not a cheap pub. But if you go in knowing this in advance, and reconcile yourself to the fact, I find that it isn't so expensive as to ruin the experience.

Did I make a fine choice with the pub? I reckon so. In fact, I have it on good confidence that one of these out-of-towner chums has since returned with his own friend in order to show off his knowledge of the best of Bloomsbury. A resounding success.

Mark my words, I swear by the Marquis.

Screw Flanders.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the The Marquis Cornwallis, and it was truly a fantastic experience. The food and drinks at this establishment exceeded my expectations in every way. First and foremost, the menu offered a diverse selection of delectable dishes, catering to a wide range of tastes. From classic pub fare to more adventurous options, there was something for everyone. The quality of the ingredients and the skill of the chefs were evident in every bite. I particularly enjoyed the Fish And Chips, which was a delightful blend of flavours and beautifully presented. Big thanks to their Head Chef Ramona, truly delicious food 😋 The drink options were equally impressive. The bar staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and they crafted some of the best cocktails I've ever had. The beer and wine selection was also extensive, ensuring that every guest could find something to quench their thirst. The atmosphere of the pub was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a meal. The service was attentive, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was exceptional.

Amazing place! The food was delicious and the portions were more than enough. Cocktails were on point, especially the mezcalita and hibiscus refresher. Staff were friendly and helpful! Beautiful pub atmosphere.

Lively, popular pub in bloomsbury area. Most generous (runny) scotch eggs I've ever enjoyed (not greasy at all!, large, generous amount of ground meat under perfect over easy runny eggs!). Halloumi fries were cooked to perfection. Respectable draft list - beavertown brewery IPA, Camden Pale, Timothy Taylor & Stone & Wood Pale Ale among favorites.
