I hadn't eaten at the Marquess for about a year when I visited last week, and the food was of the same impeccable standard.
We enjoyed artichoke soup, great pate, the BEST chicken and mushroom pie I think I've ever had [stuffed full of wild mushrooms] and pork with amazing crackling.
It was all finished of with some local cheese and a well-priced bottle of red.
This is wholesome, happy food, done very, very well.
I popped down one evening last week and tucked into a couple of courses from the prix fixe. Outstanding value if you ask me. Would normally happily part with £15 course for a main here and instead scooped up a delicious rabbit and venison terrine followed by a roast haunch of venison with creamed cabbage and smoked bacon (brought the menu home to show my friends!) all for £12! I've paid the same for a couple of bigmac meals on a trip up the M1!!
Disappointing lunch on Saturday. First of all no beef on offer, is the main selling point of this restaurant. Starter of artichoke and mayonnaise a bit lazy but companions had excellent starters. Main course of duck confit turned out to be a rather measly duck leg salad!. Most irritating of all was the selection of cheeses. For £8 this consisted of 4 tiny slivers of similar looking hard cheese with a selection of crackers and a huge slab of quince jelly.
Fellow companions had better luck as regards the main courses it has to be said.
Sorry but not good enough for the prices charged.
The Marquess Taverb has been turned into a quintessentially British pub, all be it a very nice one! The food is straight out of the 1940's with down to earth service and a stunning environment.
It's not cheap but it is good value. With over 50 single malts, a strong wine selection and more than 40 bottled beers you would be hard pushed to find a better venue, than the Marquess Tavern.
Marquess Tavern does the best roast dinner and the biggest. As good as my Mum's in fact, and that takes a special effort. The staff were smiling, makes a nice change from most pubs in London so you can't say better than that. I will be back at Marquess Tavern again on Sunday for my weekly fix of great food, beer and people. Thanks!
Marquess Tavern is really bad with terrible service. No atmosphere at Marquess Tavern either. Awful food.
Marquess Tavern is a beautiful looking gastropub from the outside - seventh pit of culinary hell on the inside. Poor food and bad service marked our experience, topped off with a manager who tried to make us feel the fault was ours. Go to The House or any of the other local gastropubs instead of Marquess Tavern.
Marquess Tavern is my perfect pub - tasty simple food and lots of great beer. I'm yet to test out the enormous whisky range Marquess Tavern is famous for, but I'm looking forward to starting.
