Avoid this pub unless you like rude managers and disgusting toilets.
The sanitary bins were overfull and all over the floors and the smell made me feel sick. My husband said the mens toilets had faeces all over the seats. I asked to speak to the manager to let him know and was told "its the fault of you women!" We obviously wont be going back!
What an enjoyable pub. My husband and I visited 5OCT08. We didn't eat so I can't say about the food. But the ale was good and the bartenders and patrons friendly. We will definitely return on our next visit.
This is almost the perfect pub - great selection of beers and ciders, and all reasonably priced compared with other pubs and bars in the area. Plus, when standing outside it's easy enough to wander over to the market to get something to eat.
The one downfall is the staffing - I frequently visit on a Friday evening when they often only have two staff at the bar, which is clearly not enough for such a popular pub in a popular location. Also, I often find that regardless of who actually approached the bar first, females will often be ignored whilst males are served first - yes, even by male bar staff.
Market Porter is an excellent venue with a usually great selection of guest beers. Alas, it is all too often let down by people drinking at the bar who make it difficult, especially at busy times, to see what is actually on offer on the pumps - and when asked politely to move aside they do not show any consideration.
Am not sure either why in this day and age smoking is still permitted at the bar. Market Porter is still the best pub around by far - but it could be much better without too much extra effort.
The Market Porter is amongst the very best pubs in London! It has excellent service and good pub food. The only downside at the Market Porter is that, even with the recent extension, it can become very busy!
It's amazing that no one has posted a review since the latest refurbishment at the Market Porter. It now has 10 beers and a cider on tap. The Market Porter is practically always packed out despite its increased size.
The Market Porter is a traditional, old English pub with a cosy atmosphere. There is an excellent range of real ales appreciated by the wide range of punters. The Market Porter is a real, welcoming, proper pub and the bar staff are ok too. Be sure to try a real ale.
The Market Porter is the best pub in the area. Magnificent selection of beers - the bearded CAMRA types paradise! Sports fan friendly with SKY & Attheraces for the punter that wants a decent pint while losing his money. Food not gastropub but at the top end of its genre & plentiful.
