Gunmakers in City of London, Westminster

Stayed here for 2 nights and wow, best hotel in London, the staff are amazing, the rooms are beautiful and clean, very comfortable bed, the manager and staff make you feel really special and go all out to help and make your stay comfortable, great experience especially as it’s cheaper than many hotels in this area, will definitely use again when I visit London 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I turned up at this establishment looking forward to staying for the two nights that I booked.... For next year!!!! What an eeejit! The bar man from Dundee ( sorry I didn't catch his name) could not have been kinder he gave me a glass of prosecco to settle my frazzled mind! I would highly recommend this place even though I never stayed the staff are really nice and a really lovely atmosphere! So even if it's just to drop in for a nice crisp cold glass of prosecco! Do it! 😁

Stayed here for two nights whilst visiting London. Very good location and within walking distance to Oxford street. The hotel its self was very clean and comfortable. We were in the very top room which I think I counted 86 stairs to climb but the room was brilliant so can’t complain.

The Gunmakers Arms truly stands out as a gem of a pub, delivering an experience that goes beyond the ordinary. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with an atmosphere that is both cozy and bustling, a perfect balance of warmth and energy that instantly makes you feel at home. The friendly staff go above and beyond with their professional and exceptional hospitality, Jonathan and Blare treats each guest like a valued friend. It’s clear that they take pride in creating an inviting environment, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered to make your visit memorable. Whether you’re there for a quick pint or a long evening at their restaurant with friends or family, the Gunmakers Arms offers not just a place to drink but a true sense of community. It’s a rare find where top notch service and a welcoming vibe come together so seamlessly. Highly recommended!

The location is excellent! Located very conveniently for access to all the main shops, bars and restaurants. The pub downstairs is a bonus and although it was exceptionally busy whilst we stayed, the noise couldn’t be heard in the room. The room would benefit from a little upgrade, there was obvious damp on the wall by the bed and the bathroom blind didn’t work, the mechanics had been removed and was permanently down. It was also stained and grubby. The bed was comfy and it had everything we needed for a short stay. The staff, welcome and service was great.

Had an amazing Sunday lunch last weekend here, I stumbled across this gem of a pub whilst out walking and boy am I glad I did. When we arrived we was met by Blair the manager who greeted us with such a warm welcome we knew we was going to have a great time. The Sunday lunch was one of the best Sunday lunch’s I have had in a very long time and the service from Blair and his team was outstanding, I highly recommended this pub to any one and will be telling all of my friends to come

Stayed one Thursday night here in the Sherlock Holmes room in January 2024. I chose it as a good location near to Harley Street for an early morning appointment and close to Marylebone station, so an easy walk from the train. The room was lovely, I had a very comfortable night's sleep, as others have said it's surprisingly quiet for a central location over a busy pub. I did a bit of late shopping on nearby Oxford Street again an easy stroll from Gunmakers. I ate fish and chips in my room as I was travelling solo and the bar was busy with the twenty-something after work crowd. The staff couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. There's a voucher for breakfast at a nearby bistro which I didn't use but was a nice touch. The room was warm and there's a thermostat to adjust the temperature. I would definitely stay again.

I definitely felt the need to write a review for my stay at Gunmakers, since there are so few that actually reference the lodging provided (most just focused on the pub-side of the business). I stayed here on two different instances in September 2023, before heading up north to hike Hadrian's Wall, and again upon my return to London, before flying back home. Overall, both stays were very nice. I stayed in the same room both times, on the top floor. While the views out the window weren't anything special, the room overall was quite comfortable. For meals, if you choose to eat at Gunmakers, you can either go down to the pub or you can call down to place an order and they'll deliver it to your room. The location was perfect, on a quiet side-street and well-priced for being in Marylebone. There are a couple rail stations that are with easy walking distance. Otherwise, several of the city's landmarks are within easy walking distance, if you're not in a rush, including The British Museum, Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and the London Eye. The only thing that was a bit awkward was going to bar and explaining you're there to check-in for lodging and not there for food/drink, especially if it's during a busy time for the pub. It might be worth looking into an alternative way to handle this side of the business, but still, it was overall a fairly easy process. Checking out was much smoother - all you need to do is drop your room key in a dropbox as you're leaving the building. Overall, I would certainly stay here again the next time I'm in London.

Fantastic bar staff!! Fantastic roasts! MASSIVE PORTIONS!!!! Love the sticky pudding! 100% would recommend

We recently stayed at the Gunmakers for a weekend and it’s safe to say we will definitely be back ! A lovely little pub in a great location, near Oxford street shops and attractions within short walking distance which was ideal for us. We arrived early and were greeted by a very nice staff member who stored our luggage until our room was ready, whilst we were gone for the day. Our room was very clean and even when the pub was busy was nice and quiet. We had lunch the next day which was nice ( the steak sandwich in particular ) All the staff are very friendly and pleasant and even when busy very attentive . Although we didn’t bring ours this time the 10% doggy discount Is a great idea Overall great stay !!!

Reports from various sources, including Trip Advisor, were reasonably positive so it was a huge surprise to find that we were virtually the only customers between 12.15 and 1.45pm for a mid-week lunch. The large bar and eating areas felt underused and lacked atmosphere but the barmaid tried her best to look after us. The lunch menu was very limited and offered boring choices. I asked about the sourcing and type of fish used in the fish and chips (thinking cod or haddock). Our friendly barmaid asked the kitchen who replied white flaky fish from Vietnam. This certainly did not appeal so I opted for the steak pudding, chips and mushy peas. At least it arrived hot and with an extra jug of gravy so not quite the "end of the culinary world" scenario that I was envisaging. However, I cannot think of any good reason for returning and clearly previous regulars have come to the same conclusion.

We took over the bar downstairs for a fabulous reunion gathering of parents, children, and grandchildren. We had a super time with tip top service and support. Next time we are bringing our dog for 10% discount.

This is a very nice pub tucked away on a quiet street.We stayed in a room above the pub nice and clean the only thing i would say is make sure what floor you are on we where top floor no lift and a lot of stairs to climb .The staff and food really good .Would recommend if your looking for something a bit different from your normal hotel

2 night stay. Lovely friendly hotel.we stayed on the third floor and there was construction work going on outside but it did not ruin our stay. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance and drinks at Gunmakers were reasonably priced. The only thing I noted was there was no mirror in the bedroom which made it difficult to put make up/dry your hair. Would recommend and return

We stayed here for 1 night to do some Christmas shopping. Great location, very clean, room was very comfortable. Highly recommend

Beautifully air-conditioned rooms on one of the hottest days of the year! Very comfy beds and attractive decor. Very clean and quiet (we were on the top floor). Great shower, fluffy towels, shampoo etc provided. Friendly welcome - our bags were looked after until we were able to check-in and welcome pack talked through when personally shown to our room. Quiet street (at the weekend) just off Marylebone High Street, with several nearby discounted breakfast options. Farmer's market on Sunday morning just outside! As well as the local high street and lots of eating and drinking options, handy for Baker Street tube, Regents Park/Zoo, Madame Tussauds.

What a fantastic pub in terms of friendly team food beer champagne and atmosphere. Friends stayed and were completely looked after and described excellent rooms. Dog friendly too with discount. Veggie food available. It’s just off the high street. On Sundays Marylebone market is on the doorstep too. Clean toilets. Quiz nights on offer. TV for sport. Music reaches across all tastes. Outstanding pub.

So, this is a place for a burger that I cannot recommend enough! Popped in for a drink and discovered a culinary miracle, and the most thoughtful and accommodating service being offered. After chatting to Nick the chef about vegetarian burgers. We were convinced to stay and sample their menu. There were three of us and each one of us ordered a burger, which included a beef, chicken and a specially made vegetarian one. All three of these burgers were absolutely tremendous. A good burger should be flavoursome, chunky, packed with all those wonderful accompaniments and served with fries, that compliment the succulence within your bun. On every point, Nick offers a beautifully presented feast, packed with flavour, that made me want to order a second one, 15 minutes later. Thank you so much to Nick and Savannah and this is a must do, if you are after an amazing bite with your winter evening tipple. The Guinness and the wine is great too. Enjoy!

Went in for a quick meal, ordered fish and chip (asked to be pan fried rather than battered and fried), and a chicken burger. Really nice food, fast delivered within 15- 20 minutes . The home-made tartare sauce with the fish and the smoked cheese on the burger made all the difference ! Will definitely be coming again. Lovely little accommodating touches and details from the new chef ! Simply put - Great food ! Made my evening.

Traditional pub, with beautiful, quiet guest rooms above, in the heart of Marylebone village. Fantastic friendly staff who know how to make you feel welcome. If you want something a bit different to the usual impersonal London hotel, in a fantastic location, the Gunmakers is perfect. Good quality bar meals are also served. If you happen to be there on a Sunday morning, there is a superb farmers market literally just outside. Would highly recommend this little gem in the heart of London.

a little gem tucked.away but close to plenty of shops and restaurants excellent service from friendly staff .Rooms are excellent very clean and comfy cannot praise it enough

We went here for a drink before we went to the Chiltern Firehouse Restaurant, closely. We got a friendly welcome. On a sunday lunchtime it wasn't crowded but there were a few people around. We saw the sunday dinner being served - it looked delicious...

We had a lovely lunch here on Friday - shared Burrata and followed with a Tomahawk steak with Thrice Cooked Chips - absolutely superb!

Heard about this place in the Times supplement. Sub-average Sunday roast. Far too rare. Supposed to be slow cooked. The rest was dry.

Forget the hype - this was a very average dining experience; food ok without being exceptional, service worse than that Starters ok, main courses less so And don’t go if you want to converse - beyond noisy

Great trad pub with a wide range of real ale. Perfect for a great pint after work - took visiting colleagues there and they loved it. Much improved by good weather (standing on the street drinking ale!!0 but recommend whatever the weather

Had a few pints in this great little pub. Staff were very friendly and had morreti on draft my fav. Would definitely recommend.

Had a great meal great customer service and portion was very large for a amazing price. And local parking is free on weekends

Yo estaba realmente volver con lo bueno la calidad de la comida era. Tenía las costillas, era delicioso, la carne sólo cayó el hueso! No he tenido que estar como costillas ya en los Estados Unidos. Mi novio eligió el pollo burger, que era de un tamaño decente y experimentados. Con cada uno de los principales está la opción de dos lados, haciendo la mayoría de los tu dinero. Sin duda no es una decepción, lo recomiendo para cualquier ocasión!

We had the steak baguette, it was great, recommend it. Could do with a side salad garnish perhaps. The service was excellent as usual. A great gem of a traditional pub.

Amazing food..great veggie burger and huge portions. Really nice atmosphere and lovely stuff! If your in the area defiantly worth a visit.!

This is a great spot for anyone who likes good food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Great central location as well!! Highly recommended.

I visited The Gunmakers as I had heard great things about the food and it did not disappoint!! The food is incredible.. I had the buttermilk chicken burger and would recommend in a heartbeat. My friend had the Haddock, which she said was the best fish and chips she has every had!! When in London you MUST visit here!A******** food and atmosphere, I will definitely be back x

There are new chefs running the kitchen. We went last night and the food was excellent. I had the scotch egg to start with (executed perfectly with a runny yolk) and the aged steak for a main. Thoroughly recommend. Fair prices and high quality of food

The food is the best around! Everything is homemade and you can tell a lot of effort is put into each meal! Will be coming back here regularly!!

Our first stop this trip to Marylebone. A classic pub! Once frequented by Winston Churchill, it is now frequented by a cat most of the time, at least it was the day we visited. Food and drink were very good. I had the "hot dog", which was really a sliced sausage on a bun, but it was good. The beer was tasty. Loved the interior, has many upholstered seats, which I needed after a long trip over the ocean. Server was very nice to us. The area has many other attractions, meaning shops, stores, and a farmers market on Sunday. I plan to return on our next trip.

Nice to find an old boozer that's still got all its character. A very attractive pub from the outside; internally its well laid out with all the seating around the outside and what looks like original marquetry wood panelling & a few big TVs for the sports. Plenty of decent beers inc lots of London craft ales. Big areas for standing so there's a great 'after office' buzz. A proper drinkers pub. However, the bogs are the smelliest I've smelt in 20 years anywhere. Wouldn't be out of place on a French campsite from the 70's. Enough to put you off ordering any food.

They have bouncers outside here! Trying to be strict but once you get friendly with them they are fine. Lovely pub good amount of seating! Definitely recommend

Trovato per caso mentre cercavamo un pub, abbiamo pranzato.Il locale è carino ma incutono un po' di timore i quadri in cui ci sono decine di proiettili di tutte le forme e dimensioni.La birra bevuta era ottima, il cibo che abbiamo consumato non è stato all'altezza; sul momento era buono, anche se troppo speziato, però è risultato essere pesante durante il resto della giornata.

We were looking for food primarily, so this place's very small menu already wasn't right for what we needed, but even so we decided to sit down and try it since we'd already walked in and started to sit down. Then a guy came out of the bathroom, which opens practically onto the main dining/drinking space, which is small. Our nostrils were immediately cleaned out by a very strong urine smell. We got out of there as fast as possible. Could be a good place to get your drink on, but don't go here looking for atmosphere or an emphasis on dining.

Came in for a nice pint and was astounded at the selection of beers.The staff informed me of a pumpkin spiced martini which we tried which was simply delicious. Such a brilliant find!Would recommend!

Typischer und traditioneller Pub in Marylebone. Schönes denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude. Zwei halbe Bier für unter 5 Pfund (fair). Drinnen kann man Fussball auf ein Grossbildfernseher kucken.

A proper drinker's pub in the heart of Marylebone. Wooden floors, random cat wandering round, good selection of cask beer, friendly staff, sport on the telly for a proper match but not at a volume that you can't have a conversation. A rare gem in central London.

Excellent pub which is just one street away from Marylebone High Street. Pleasant interior with a nice outside seating area out in front. Beers are above average in quality and selection.

Called in for a pint early Saturday evening and the place was pretty busy. There was rugby on the screens with the sound turned off, a good mix of customers including a well behaved dog and generally a pleasant atmosphere. I thought that the service was good, and the beer excellent (I tried one from Hackney brewery). It is pretty expensive by my standards, but perhaps not for this part of London and at least you are getting great beer for your money.

I have enjoyed this pub as it seemed a classic to me. Ok I do not have much pub experience but this one has the right look and feel and a good mix of patrons. I'd like to hang out here more with friends watching sports. A good stop on your pub crawl.

Managers and staff was lovely and very professional. We had a traditional steak pie and fish and chips...amazing!!! Nice beer and nice area...we'll be back soon!

Called in for a drink on a small pub crawl on Marylebone street. Pub was fairly busy. However customer service was very poor.

Called in for a drink whilst on a bit of a pub crawl with my girlfriend.First choice beer not available so had to make do.Pub was quite busy but spotted a couple of seats next to a couple sat at a table, with no drinks in front of them.Young man said he was saving seats for his friends who would be arriving in " about an hour ", I sat down as we would have be gone by then.15 minutes later the guests arrived and wanted us to move as Their friends ,who had no drinks ,were saving them.My reply was I wasn't moving and you can't save seats and according to the young lady I was rude.My girlfriend thought I was being awkward and suggested we move to near the tv , which had football on.Reluctantly I obliged to let the seat savers sit down, which they did and still didn't buy a drink between them ,which I think is RUDE !!!!.Would have stayed longer but decided to move on as a singer was due on..

So good to go to a pub that is just that. Central in Marylebone and easy to get near to all the other great places. Crammed with drinkers spiking into the pavement but in a respectful manner. Good cold Guinness and good service

This is a proper London pub which feels slightly out of place in Marylebone but charming nonetheless. Would recommend it.

This was one of the best of the 25 pubs we visited. Tribute ale, fish and chips and fresh mushy peas! Being from the US, I didn't get the whole mushy peas thing until today. Perfect pub along our journey back from Oxford Circle and speed shopping at Selfridges.

Good traditional style pub. 3 to 4 guest ales make it worth a visit. Very popular lunch times with local office/student customers. I have not eaten here for a while but will try it again soon. If you like sport the TV is on without sound so you can still talk. Well staffed behind the bar.

We were doing the Circle line pub crawl & came here as our stop off for Baker Street. Good ale & Guinness was really good. However, to say it was a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't a very good atmosphere. Very quiet & hardly any tables. Bar staff were very friendly though :)

My favourite place near Baker Street for a pint of ale. But £12.50 for freezer-drawn flaccid tasteless batter-less fish and 17 chips means I won't be eating here again. Nor should you. A real shame but the quality has got progressively worse and worse in the last couple of years. Get a grip.

Bin etwas überrascht über die unterdurchschnittliche Gesamtbewertung des Pub, da ich meine zahlreichen Aufenthalte hier doch immer als durchaus angenehm empfand. A) Ist der Pub selbst angenehm in der Hinsicht, dass er nicht so überlaufen ist und B) Ist Marylebone mitten in der Stadt, dafür aber tendenziell recht ruhig. Im Pub selbst habe ich noch nicht gegessen, aber es läuft regelmäßig Fußball und Bier gibt es reichlich. Preise sind halt London - Niveau... und die Öffnungszeiten leider auch.

Good pub in Marylebone, friendly and welcoming staff, good selection of drinks. Not eaten here so can't comment on the food but people were eating and seemed happy enough

Just a pit stop for me on way back to Station, but a decent cask ale and looks worth its entry in the current good beer guide.

Went here on Friday with a friend after training. The staff were very friendly, it was a very welcoming pub that was old fashioned with a modern feel. I liked the interesting artwork that they had and the vegetation around the bar was a nice feature. The beer was good. Overall a very decent London pub.

Very lively pub, great beers, good atmosphere, friendly staff.Handy for plenty of places to eat and shop and stay locally.Not sure what else to add but Trip advisor insists.

Very clean British pub Good selection of beers Staff and punters friendly Will go again Good spot Unsure if they do food

This is a small busy pub which is fine for a drink and to watch football on the TV. The food seems to be freshly cooked to order, takes some time to arrive and is hot. However, this is not somewhere to eat.Steer clear of the light bites. The fried squid was hot but tasteless. The shrimp "fritter" was four separate bundles of something thick and gungy with two shrimps in each bundle and tasted dreadful.The plate of pasta at £12.90 with bacon and mushroom considered of a bowl of pasta in a creamy sauce with a couple of minute squares of bacon and one or two thinly cut slices of the tiniest mushroom. Not at all enticing and vastly overpriced for what it was.Those of us who had the burger in a bun said it was fine.The dishes were served to us without any cutlery or indication where it was. We managed to find some in a dresser together with some serviettes. Only visit for a drink, definitely not to eat.

This pub is close to work and this is why I went there with some colleagues for a Friday afternoon drink. I heard many bad reviews regarding the quality of the food recently, but I remember their glorious food I once had... I thought I should gave them a second chance to prove themselves, then I ordered probably the most over priced prawn pasta in terms of it's quality, £12.90 for a plate of food that college students can throw it together with their eyes closed. It was bland, cheap ingredients and only 4 small prawns can be found on the plate. Really disappointed. I would only go there for drinks but not for the food.

Just away from the busy high street, this is a really good traditional pub. Comfortable and comforting! Good choice of ales and good bar snacks

Local, neighborhood place with nothing touristy.Traditional mix of drinks; ales, stouts and all. Great ambience, indoors and outdoors. But this is not what makes it special. I've visited more than half a dozen pubs in the last 2 days and the drinks and decor were comparable. There were others with more history. With more Facebook "check-ins". What sets this place apart is the warmth of the people who manage it. Not saccharine sweet and synthetic like a tourist trap place. If you are looking for obsequious service, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a real hospitality, great conversation and genuine people, come to the gun maker. After visiting more than my share of places restaurant, cafe, bar etc, I realize that the ones I remember most are not the ones with the best food or decor or celebrity owners and chefs but about the people who actually make it special while being themselves not textbook hosts. If I can associate Gun Makers with one name, it is Laura. She makes it work because she seems to live and live what she does. In complete control without looking hurried, harried or haughty. Attentive, warm and intelligent. sensitive to the place and the patrons. She advised about other neighborhood restaurants. Drinks, snacks etc.She even refused a tip. And she has a great partner behind the bar in Shannon. Look forward to going there again soon. You should definitely give it a try. You'll thank me. :-)

El pub es muy agradable, en madera, con terraza y wifi gratuito. Está al lado de zonas de afluencia, pero aún así el pub no se llena como otros de la zona. Muy agradable para hablar y tomarse el último trago antes de ir a casa.

Not a destination pub. But ok for a quick beer. Off the beaten track. Odd location but a decent old fashioned boozer which you take as you see it.

Popped in here for a quick drink. A very attractive looking traditional pub with a good selection of beers. Slightly off the beaten track so has more of local feel. Unfortunately a couple of things take away from the place. TVs seem to dominate the inside of the pub, and sitting outside you overlook a car park and the back of a waitrose

Good beer, plenty of screens and lively pub atmosphere. Ideal haunt and the service was great in that the minimum spend for card was a tenner so I left two pints in, and the barman took me in my word when I called them in. Like being in yorkshire.

The pub itself is not bad. The staff, however, exude an indifference bordering on contempt. Expect to wait ages to catch someone's eye and for your change to be slammed down on the counter rather than handed back which is the traditional method. Maybe that was a signal not to intrude on a private conversation between the permanently distracted bar staff. And don't even think about ordering food unless you have a hour or so to spare. Or the temerity to enquire whether it's still coming. It is. They just can't say when.

Unfortunately I had my bag stolen whilst out for a drink. The bar staff were helpful but subsequently the manager was always too busy to talk to the police and the CCTV was recorded over. Not a great customer experience for such a stressful incident. On this basis I won't be going back.

Been twice for lunch during work. Absolutely awful! Do not go there unless it's just for a drink if desperate. Food was just terrible. A party of 6 had meals delivered over a period of 45 mins. I had gammon and egg & chips. The egg was rock solid, the Gannon was hard and grisly. Give a miss.

I been here in the halloween night and it was great, the staff had this amazing costumes,really nice :) everyone was friendly and attentive , i will come back 4 sure

We happened to be in the area around lunch time on weekend and we found this pub by chance.Exterior was quite traditional and charming. There were some tables outside. Inside was not so much charming. Probably locals come here to watch sports or something from my observation.We aimed to have sunday roast. Beef was already gone and only options were lamb and pork. Probably it is local the volume was huge and taste was surprisingly good as well.

I’ve been with a friend to see the World cup match – Brazil vs The Netherlands – and we had a pleasant time! It’s a typical English pub very nice on the outside and, nothing too fancy on the inside but with 3 big TVs to see the match and a quite good bar. I haven’t eaten in here or been to the toilet so I cannot review if the food was good or the toilets clean – but the atmosphere was good! I’ll probably say that it’s not made particularly for women but, better be with guys as well. It’s a pub especially used for people that work there and want to have a beer before heading back home. My only concern was the police arriving inside the pub – nothing was happening at that very moment as far as I was concerned (keeping in mind that the pub is located in a very posh and expensive area), but 2 policeman came in and went behind the bar and down to the basement – and- they stayed there for a long time considering that I saw the end of the match, stayed a bit outside to have a cigarette and headed back home. What they were doing? I honestly have no idea but no one looked surprised. I will recommend this place just for a drink or when there’s a football or rugby match – otherwise who will ever go an eat at a pub? I mean it’s really rare to find quality food. I’m not sure if I would recommend this pub..

Do not go in there, Terrible place. We use it sometimes for lunch. Well no more.. awful. Food was terrible, I only ordered gammon and egg and chips. It took nearly the whole hour to arrive. The plate was cold, the gammon was cold. The chips were warm and the egg hard. Not what sure the problem was, But you don't need to be a proffessional chef to cook this.Anyway there are other places we'd rather spend our money in. But this isnt one!

Don't go for the food, or tangle with the chef who refuses to realise he is one of London's worst chefs

The ambience is good as is usually the food. The service is however very patchy depending on which staff members serve you and range from the indifferent to extremely attentive and friendly.

Went to the Gunmaker several times with my family,just a great tradition London pub, good pub food roasts are great,good beer and great atmosphere, it's one street back from Marylebone High Street. Worth a visit,great pub.

Marylebone High Street is of course one of London's delights but its few pubs are invariably crowded and noisy. But a block away, away from the traffic and the crowds, is this charmer. The pub has much surviving late Victorian detail, both inside and out, and is on one side of what is effectively a quiet little square, which often features a farmers' market. On a December Saturday lunchtime it was half empty, allowing a comfortable hour or so with half an eye on an FA game playing that day on the telly - the only slight noise. Good pints and an excellent tuna baguette, all reasonably priced. Friendly service and quite a few of the others there seemed to be locals. How long can it last?Allegedly once a haunt of Churchill's under its former name, the William Wallace.

I was recommended to go to this pub for its food by the barman at a pub just around the corner even though their pub did food and it looked really nice. That's saying something. The Gunmakers is a great little pub, hanging baskets outside, dark wood panelling and flooring, friendly people serving, good ale and Sky Sports showing the cricket, what else can you ask for from a pub? The food really was exceptional and well priced too. The burger was clearly home made and was extremely tasty, one of the best I've ever had very reasonably priced at £9 too (included chips and a side salad). You could taste the various different herbs and spices in it, and the little pot of relish that came with it was also delicious. Dont normallly write restaurant / pub guides but made an exception in this case as it really was that good, and for anyone visiting the Baker St / Marylebone area and in need of some food or drink then I'd say this was a very good choice.
