Marksman Public House in Tower Hamlets

Been meaning to try this place as it has been mentioned a few times in various London "Best Sunday Roast" lists. The roast was quite nice, but nothing special. For the price, we were expecting vegetables to be included, but they had to be ordered separately. I asked the server whether the roast came with 'all the trimmings' and they said yes, so to find out otherwise was a bit annoying. The food was also under seasoned. Overall it was worth trying once, but the value for money wasn't great. Service was pretty good though, thanks for that.

What a lovely meal. The atmosphere is eclectic, the service is brilliant, the menu is creative and caters to all. From the nocellara olives to the pie, it was all heavenly. Some suggestions which were a novelty for me were the caraway and black treacle sourdough, the Dorset crab kedgeree and the chicken and preserved cep pie. Go!

It is a perfect spot for Sunday Roast. You can walk here in about 20 mins thru Spitafields market, Brick lane and the flower market and get your wonderful meal here. We chose a 2 course menu: appetizer and main for £38. Appetizers are unique propositions and then you can pick roasts (or something else) that come with potatoes. I would recommend also a side of greens that were a great complement to the meal. I hear deserts are great but the meal was perfect like this. Roasted chicken was extremely juicy and flavorful, the Ramp had great texture and came with gravy and horseradish cream (lightly spicy), potatoes are extra crunchy outside and soft inside. I would recommend also the atmosphere that were vibrant. Just be prepared to a decent wait to get your roast but it is worth. They also have a good wine/cocktail selection. A 12.5% service fee is applied.

The staff was very good but the food was tasteless and overpriced. I left without eating anything. :(

The food here is incredible. Everything we ordered was delicious and would highly recommend the pie. I had the oysters and then shared the chicken and mushroom pie & chips with my fiancé. The only regret was that I had no room for pudding because there was no way I was leaving any of that pie! Have already booked to come back to celebrate a family birthday. This is the king of gastro pubs!

We visited the Marksman for a Sunday evening roast and, while we enjoyed the experience overall, it wasn't particularly memorable. The staff were very friendly, though there seemed to be some confusion with the tables that night. We chose the two-course option for £38 and requested the bread and butter as a starter (this was extra), but it was served alongside our mains. The bread was served cold, and we both agreed it would have been much better if warmed. The chicken main was excellent and offered a more generous portion compared to the rump, which was disappointingly small. We also ordered a side of potatoes, but they lacked flavor and weren't salted to our taste. On a positive note, the desserts were delicious. Although the Marksman wasn’t our favorite spot for a roast, we still had an enjoyable evening overall.

Nice waiting staff. Our food service was really very slow on a Friday evening. Portions when the food did arrive were small.

My martini was perfect and the chicken pie was incredible

mushroom and chicken pie was sooo incredible. also the bread and butter. yum

Enjoyed a traditional Sunday roast here today.. I chose the chicken which came with tomatoes and gem lettuce, others enjoyed the rump with carrots and Yorkshire puddings or the cod… the meal was exactly what you want and expect for a roast.. we were offered additional gravy and horseradish which was generous.. staff were lovely and attentive.. overall a great lunch experience!

When you enter the gastropub, the first impression is that of an atmosphere which is unassuming of an old pub. The service was quite slow when we arrived (we probably waited 30/45 mins) before we could order our food and drinks BUT … things quickly changed as soon as we got our food. The food was excellent. We had soused mackerel as a starter, wing rib (for 2 has main course), perfectly cooked, a selection of 3 cheeses. The star of the show were the apricot sorbet and the chocolate mousse. Overall, we spent an unexpected, excellent evening. Despite a very slow start, the service was friendly and efficient. The cost of our excellent meal was fair. Overall, I can only recommend this friendly, local pub which offers some excellent food in a cosy atmosphere. We have forgiven the lack of maintenance and the shaky start. However, please be aware that this may not be a right choice if you want to spend an evening in a very stylish environment. Again, we loved it, I would be very pleased to come back again.

Went there for my son's birthday. Underwhelming food, unfriendly waitress although some of the other staff seem better suited to the service industry, overpriced. Wouldn't go again even though it's local.

Saturday night, staff are all lovely!! Go the extra mile to make our experience bang on. Special shout-out to the lady who wiped down our table and played tunes on the terrace.

We had good service unlike some of the reviews below however there is no value for money here. A dinner for two was £120 with no alcohol. We had bread, a tomato starter and two slices of vegetarian pie. The pie was £22 each and was a tiny slice which would have suited a starter not a main. It was just really really bad value for money. Disappointing and not sure why they are pricing their menu so highly. I wouldn’t go again, either.

Great food, but slow to arrive.

We visited for Sunday Lunch with the family during a trip to London. Roast beef - perfectly pink. This again is very unusual & difficult to pull off in such a busy kitchen. Amazingly crisp roast potatoes. The best I have had as part of a pub roast. These had a deep crust that had been beautifully roasted & not deep fried as is usually served. All washed down with a good selection of cask ales. This is definitely worth booking in advance.

I’d seen the photos on Instagram so had to try out this pub. Unfortunately, the pub itself isn’t very appealing, felt very lifeless and the decor a bit drab for a traditional London pub. The local surrounding area is also not very nice, a few nice coffee shops. The service and food however were incredible. It’s probably some of the best food I’ve had in a long time. The cocktails were amazing too. I enjoyed our lunch but I wouldn’t hurry back.

Excellent homemade pub fare. The pints were great, a wide variety of upscale pub favorites. The chicken pie was delicious, but its huge, definitely a sharing with 3 people the price is 50 pounds, too high for a pie.

Not a single plant-based food option.

Worst place , overpriced £10.5 for a sparkling wine glass , barman so rude

Lovely pub. Friendly staff and great service.

We had drinks made by Noel, the service and drinks were absolutely wonderful. No issues at all, enjoyed our time. The food loooked absolutely AMAZING but we did not have time to try it, by looks we 10/10 recommend. Everyone seemed happy amongst us

A fantastic pub with incredible food and d beverages. Amazing flavours and great very friendly service.

Small portions, no potatoes, no yorkshire pudding, nothing. Was highly disappointed with the minimal portions and average quality given the price. Presentation of food was appealing I suppose. I 've heard this is the best place in hackney for a sunday roast and after visiting I rather go to a geiser pub to get a roast then go here. Also, re wine list doesn't have a great selection. A londoner & foodie, I'm shocked. As a local, won't be returning

38 pounds for two courses on a Sunday, and you can pick either an app or a dessert. A bit pricey, but the food is excellent! We got the chilled pea soup and smoked mackerel as apps, and cod & clams and asparagus pie. Best mackerel I have ever had and cod was well seasoned, flaky and tender. Highly recommend it!

Disappointed We went for the second time for a Sunday roast and we felt a bit disappointed. The beginning was good. We had couple of drinks and we asked for some olives with our aperitif but then we decided to order a starter as the main was going to take some time to be cooked which is completely understandable. The starter was delicious but the olives came once we nearly finished with the dish, not a big issue but they should arrive with the drinks at the beginning. The wing rib came sooner than we thought and we were a bit disappointed for the size of it, considering that it says for 2 people and it is an extra £25. It’s not about the money, it’s about the value. Meat was okay, nothing special, few roasties, some delicious carrots and cauliflower purée. It was good but again, I think that a place like Marksman can do much better than that. After we finished, we waited quite a while for the table to be clear up and been offered dessert. We order a dessert and that was the cheery of the top of the cake. We waited a good 20 minutes for the dessert to arrive. Apparently, it was their signature pudding and again, nothing special at all. Service was good apart from the fact that it dropped down towards the end, drinks were good and the starter was delicious but we felt disappointed with the overall experience. It just an honest feedback after visiting for the second time a place that we thought it was better than that.

The food is incredible. Everything we ordered was delicious and would def recommend the pie. The service was too slow though but the waitress was very nice. I wish they served food on the terrace, it would def be a better vibe

Quintessentially London. Bloody magnificent. Food, superb. Wine, sublime. Atmosphere, convivial. Service, expert. Jack is a Hospitality weapon: everything that is good about the industry. A brilliant, brilliant pub.

Lovely place where you are fairly sure to have a great time but i was a bit disappointed with the limited vegetarian options on the menu

The food was delicious but the service really stood out, our waitress was very kind and joyful and all around amazing at her job!!

Fantastic experience here! We had a reservation for 3 on Sunday and was able to add an extra person at the last minute without any issue, very thankful for them accommodating the change. Atmosphere was very cute and cozy but not cramped. Table was plenty big for the food and drinks. We all got the set menu with different items and were very happy with our food. We are not locals so I can’t speak to the authenticity of the dishes, but the quality was fantastic. Very well done dishes. Timing of the courses was great and not too fast or slow. Staff was friendly and helped us pick a good “traditional” dish for the main as that what we were all looking for. I will note that I didn’t see many vegan or vegetarian options on the menu. There are some gluten free options but not explicitly marked as such. Wouldn’t recommend if you have someone in the group who has these dietary restrictions. There are options for alcohol free beers. I would absolutely go back here again to try other dishes. Lovely!

Popped in for a quick pint early doors so v quiet. All good!

Best gastropub in the east. Only downside is limited tables so often a wait.

Just as I had hoped for, nice waiters and exceptional cuisine and atmosphere. Thumbs up

The food is good, the selection of wine is amazing ! Great atmosphere in there and great service as well ! Jessy was part of the staff and has been really kind by recommending us on the wine and food !

Food is amazing, the place is definitely expensive. Honey and Butter pie super recommended as dessert!

What a wonderful lunch! From the homemade bread to the carefully selected cut of meats, my friends and I have been treated wonderfully by the Marksman staff. Definitely a go-to food pub when visiting London. Special mention o the delicious hogget with courgette, mint and salsa verde.

Best Sunday roast in London but outside of that it's a wonderful pub with top top top food and nice drinks.

That's just terrible everything here

Food was excellent, the service and noise was more Friday night pub and for the price needs to be better. Would still go again but perhaps will try weekday lunch.

Service is A+ and so are the menu which cycle through the seasons. Good place for Sunday roast lunch / dinners and great selection of wines. Try the cocktails too.

Conveniently located at the main road, this pub doesn't exactly stand out from the rest of similar places in the area. You'd easily go past it without a second glance, since it's typical 'pub-y' looks. But if you actually step inside to have a dinner, you'll be in for a nice surprise. There is a very spacy dining area upstairs with lovely dimmed lights. You can really stretch your legs there, which is a nice change from the usual squeeze. The wine selection is on a high level. Perfect for wine lovers! But here's where it gets properly brilliant: the food. I'm not exaggerating when I say I had the best steak of my life here... The thing must have been sous vide because it was perfect – temperature, texture, softness, the lot. Even the broccoli side dish great – packed with flavour and very, very garlicky. Compliments to the chef. If you're reading this (which I hope you do), you're a culinary genius. If I could, I would give this place 6 stars if I could, just for the food. It seems like a culinary hidden gem!

Definitely one of the best Sunday Roasts in London. Delicious, generous in portion and attentive service. Book in advance. Do not attempt to walk in without a reservation.

Always heard this is one of the best roasts in London but found it all very underwhelming, unfortunately. The food we had was nice enough but as London restaurant/pub standards go, and the standards of roasts, it was unmemorable. Firstly its very overpriced. £38 for 2 courses. £42 for 3 courses. And the portions are pretty small. All our meals were just warm enough and there were barely any vegetables. The chicken roast for example came with no Yorkshire pudding and no vegetables, and the only vegetable side that could be ordered on the menu was cabbage. A roast should be served with a variety of vegetables as standard. Especially at that price! I had the vegetable pie which was nice but so small and served with nothing on the side. Bizarre. The vibe is nice enough inside the pub... cosy and intimate. The service was hit and miss. Overall pretty disappointed. I would come back for a drink, but not for the food.

Had a meal last night. Service was really good with a sound knowledge of the menu. Starters were all enjoyed but a disappointing main course I had Hereford rump cooked superbly but a water gravy, cold Yorkshire pudding and hope cabbage, well, £6.00 for a spoonful. Lack of vegetables unless the baby food smeared on the plate counts. I felt really sorry for my son being a vegetarian his choice was the celeriac pie. Not sure about this. The size of a small takeaway coffee lid and served on a side plate with nothing really is a puss take. I assume the chef doesn’t like vegetable or vegetarians. We won’t be going back overpriced food. Chefs are a let down to this establishment

Lunch for 3... Food was good but a bit overpriced...the grilled Hereford skirt was really good....they lacked vegetarian or vegan options maybe 1-2 dishes in the entire menu. Suggestions indicate the vegetarian or vegan dishes in their menu.

We only attended for drinks but I've been for a meal also and it was absolutely delicious. As soon as our party of 6 arrived, the bar staff were so welcoming and friendly. It was a busy Saturday night but they asked us to wait a couple of minutes and then got us a set up in a lovely seated area. I highly recommend this lovely pub and their fantastic staff. Made us feel so special. Customer service at its best

A real pub, had business lunch booked there, great kind helpful service, food was v.good , beer as well . I had early practice the evening before ! Again brilliant classic pub, seat at bar , chatting about beer , life and the universe really looking forward to next trip / visit . (Hope my brown scarf was found and will be retained as my excuse to return 😎🍺)

Had a delicious Sunday roast here at the weekend. The starters, mains and puddings were amazing. The beef and barley buns are a must, so yummy! Enormous wing rib, plenty for two and accompanying veg all very tasty. Brown butter and honey tart, mouth watering. Great atmosphere and will definitely return.

Good food but ridiculous prices for the undiscerning customer. If you want the real thing (which would be both better and cheaper) go to St. John.

One of the best roasts in London! Love the family sharing style and the pie is BANGING everytime!! Cannot wait to go back!

Nice spot, good food but a bit too pricey I'd say

When paying £125 for two for 2 courses (without any of the supplements) good food has to come with good service. Ten minutes before found someone to tell we had a booking (never mind anyone actually asking us). Ten minutes for some water. Dinner finished for 20 minutes before plates collected and still another 20 minute wait before we were asked about desserts. If you want to charge restaurant prices, provide restaurant service.

Do not go to this pub! The staff here are horrible. Two friends and I, we're all around 60 years of age, went to the Marksman last Friday for quite drinks. We bought our drinks and sat down but within a couple of minutes, a female member of staff asked us to leave. She said they had a zero-tolerance to drug use and we would have to leave immediately. She was both aggressive and rude. We tried to reason with her and explained none of us had ever taken drugs. I offered her our coats and bags to search, and we turned out our pockets. We offered her and her staff the opportunity to search us too. She said she wasn't going to do this and, again, insisted we leave. When we asked calmly for details of what we had supposedly done, she refused to tell us and became more forceful that we needed to leave immediately. She called over more of her bar staff who hovered around us in a threatening and intimidating manner. We remained clam, respectful and polite throughout but we were left with no option but to leave. As three 60+ year old life-long friends, who have never taken drugs, that were simply enjoying a quite night out together, we found the experience highly unpleasant and humiliating. The Marksman staff were rude, aggressive, threatening and not interested in clearing up what had clearly been a mistake. They treated us like criminals. We will never go back and I would encourage everyone to avoid this pub. There are many other much nicer pubs nearby.

£20 cottage pie was hard to differentiate from a £2 microwave job from Tesco. The £50 chicken pie came with nothing but the tin it was born in. Quite audacious, it was chicken and leek. Fine, ok. But again I don't see and value. We've love the Lasdun. We just don't understand what's happening here. It's London and I feel ashamed to talk to the staff. We're all struggling. It's depressing.

This review would be one star if it wasn’t for the really lovely service we received. The food was late, incredibly overpriced and awful. I had a Welsh rarebit which was burnt to a crisp on the edges. The crust of the toast was completely black. The cheese in the centre was burnt and bitter. It was inedible. I paid near £50 for burnt cheese on toast, some chips and three drinks. Save your money, and your tastebuds.

This is a good spot for a Sunday roast. Had heard great things locally and wasn’t disappointed. I’d say be sure to book ahead… this is a busy place. We had the rump roast which was very enjoyable — kept simple, not too much, great roasties. Nice to have a roast out that doesn’t make you feel totally stuffed, too. Good, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu and check it out on a weeknight.

The team is very kind and food is good. Very recommended! Thank you Noel for your cocktails!

We had our meal upstairs, nice atmosphere very friendly and great food..

Fantastic spot for lunch. The chicken pie and sticky toffee pudding are amazing!

Best Sunday roast ive had in a pub. The roast beef rump was cooked to perfection and the roast potatoes were to die for. Would highly recommend and am going back to sample the weekday menu soon. Amazing food in a traditional east end pub.

They squeezed us in for a small table. We didn’t really have a high hope for this place as we have never been to a gastropub before. But the food was amazing and service was excellent. Alexandra (hope I spelled it right) and another waitress I didn’t ask for the name (Caucasian, blond? ) were so nice!!! The food was a bit slow but they were freshly made so it’s understandable. Will definitely be back 💓

This bar has a real atmosphere, could be the 70s could be 00s a place out of time... Noel was an absolute start behind the bar 10/10 would return

Came for dinner on Saturday in the dining room. Nice atmosphere and great service but the food quality didn’t feel like it matched the price point. Not an awful meal by far but definitely didn’t seem to live up to the hype and we wondered whether the roast was the only / best option to go for.

Tucked away and you might just miss it as along a fairly busy traffic junction but once in, the place speaks for itself. Mixture of old meets new. Good drinks selection and the food is next level. Bar atmosphere downstairs is cosy but great in autumn/winter times, upstairs good dining/dating and rooftop great for summer chilling watching the world go by. Love it.

Nice enough food but not worth the price tag. much better roasts in london if you’re willing to pay circa £70 per head for food and a couple of drinks. Tables very close together and portions small. Quality is good but just too expensive. Roasts don’t come with roast potatoes or greens which for £38 for 2 courses I think is mean. for the price for a Sunday lunch I would recommend any of the Hawksmoors, the Canton arms or Camberwell arms for much better value, better food, and

Low quality food Service friendly Nice atmosfere

I never complain about restaurants but this experience was awful. To start the waiter was extremely unprofessional, making jokes ever since we sat down. The waiter also encouraged to order items (from outside the menu) that ended up adding up a significant extra amount to our bill. He never gave any notice about the surcharge we would end up facing. When the bill was presented we were extremely surprised about the lack of clarity throughout the night. Food portions were extremely stingy. Things have gone downhill compared to two years ago. I always raved about this place, but now I never want to go back.

The Sunday roast is good. The value for money doesn't quite meet the mark though. It's an expensive Sunday roast which does taste good I just don't think it's £55 each worth it though

The Sunday roast was fine, they have a set menu where you have to choose two plates, they did allow us to go for just one but were not very please with our request. The roast was good but on top of the extravagant price greens had to be purchased separately (I order a roast I expect a roast not half of one…). The gravy came 10 minutes after the food was served and was actually quite watered down unfortunately. The vibe is good but definitely would suggest trying to get a table downstairs in the pub rather than upstairs. Unfortunately I will not be coming back because the price was simply too much for what we got in food quality and the service at the end was nice but was not all through the service. I know they were busy but I feel it was lacking.

Never going back! Could not believe the portion sizes of everything! I'm a petite lady and always leaving food behind on my plate, portions was shocking, for a roast and desert, 2 drinks and bill came to £150 i would expect trimmings, not just horseradish and few spuds and carrots. Portions were tiny, dessert was shocking, not even half a peer!! We left disappointed and hungry and went and got chinese.

Noel’s bloody Mary’s and everything was great! I’ll keep coming back to the Marksman just for his drinks . Not to mention my favourite chicken pie on the planet .

I’ve heard a lot about the pie. Urban myth I suspect. For £50 I expect the best pie I have ever had. It really wasn’t! To top that the waitress brought the bill 10 minutes before our ‘slot’ had finished. Not sure I will be returning in a hurry.

They say British food is bad... Well, this one is just amazing. The chicken/mushroom pie is delicious, all the desserts are superb, the beer is... well... as good as beer normally is, and Owen; our waiter, is from another world. Cheers from Mexico man, thanks for your amazing service tonight.

Not a pub - don’t go for drinks. More of a fancy restaurant so although it looks like a pub, and has a bar, they do not want to serve you drinks!

Owen you are a legend. Big thanks from you biggest fans from Oval and East !!

Good roast. Good service. Wine list could be better. Nice location.

the marksman is actually my local 'pub' / restaurant and for months we'd meaning to try the workers lunch - which it the time was: mussels, chips and a drink for £15. unreal value from a place which isn't super cheap. we sat outside but were pretty much the only ones in the pub, so service was super quick. got really decent sized portions of mussels and chips. would 1000% do this again + any other workers lunch they do

Noel made the best cocktail I’ve ever had from scratch… still waiting to hear what he’s going to call it

We had both excellent food and excellent service! Even better, the atmosphere was so cozy.

I really wanted something hearty but the menu was limited and mainly small cold plates (weekday eve). The food was good, but it was expensive so I’d expect it to be awesome. Generally great, but about what you’d expect for the price, nothing very exciting though.

What has happened to this place! It used to be great, now the service is terrible, everything is overpriced and the staff are rude. AVOID.

This is a restaurant that had been chosen for a special occasion, my sons 40th and our family had made a point of meeting here having heard glowing reviews, we came from far afield….First impressions count…… And my first impression when I walked into the Marksman was… the decor hasn’t changed a great deal since I had came here 30 years ago when it was an old boys pub , but I understand the Hip vibe that many establishments in Hackney want to portray, so with that in mind we wanted to give this place a try…This is a Saturday lunchtime at 1pm and we are the first people apart from the staff in the restaurant. First in … served immediately at the bar and greeted by our waiter Upstairs to the first floor dining area, a tad bohemian, we had a long table for ten backed on onto the serving area and dumb waiter ( that’s not a dig at the staff… they have an old dumbwaiter serving hatch) and we sat directly adjacent to two open doors…. We had booked several weeks earlier and when making our reservation we had specifically made a point of explaining to the booking receptionist that in our party there would be 8 adults and two children.. We knew the house rules , we knew we would only be allowed two hours on the table ,before it would be required by other diners and we knew we need place our order within 15 minutes of being seated…all agreed and understood….. we arrived at 1pm and ordered our meals, asking about children’s menu we were told they had no such thing , which was our first disappointment and when asking for suggestions of what to feed our children , the waiter suggested maybe chips and corn on the cob… not really quite what we were expecting…BUT… What can you do when you need feed your young children…so with no other option we ordered the chips and sweetcorn alongside a portion of ham Our starters arrived reasonably promptly and I have nothing to complain about what was offered… it was ok, NICE. Nothing special just nice Plates removed, the restaurant was beginning to fill , a couple of tables of 2 a table of 4 alongside ourselves.. customers we’re ordering their food… total capacity when full upstairs in the restaurant area is probably no more than 25 or30……Enjoying our own company we were in no rush great rush, we were expecting our main courses to arrive shortly. During a lull in conversation we began to notice that customers that had arrived after us had been served with starters, main courses and were now devouring their deserts. Almost an hour after our starter, unbeknown to me my wife had asked the waiter what was happening with our order and had been gently fobbed off with the expectation that the meal would be with us shortly. At 2.55 (over an hour and a half after ordering) I asked our waiter if I could have a quiet word, and asked what was happening with our order and, if he felt it was acceptable that we should be kept waiting for this length of time …… He was diplomatic on behalf of the kitchen and gave me his excuses and went immediately to speak with the kitchen… needless to say our food was promptly dispatched to the table and our waiter apologised yet again and offered us deserts on the house.. The menu itself is nothing special… if not pricey..this is very much a criticism of what is on offer … I knew what I would be paying prior to going there, so it’s not about the bill …But the menu and food are NOTHING SPECIAL. .none of the main course are offered with sides and the selection of side dishes are limited.. The wine is nothing special if not expensive for an unknown vintner and you could easily compare with a Sainsbury’s taste the difference.. All in all, this establishment has left me with the feeling that they do not care.. Going out for a meal is not just about the food, it’s much more ……and I felt like their opinion is that you need not look after your customers, because there are enough Mugs out there prepared to give us a try, believing old reviews ..You shouldn’t be allowed to get away with a second rate service.. Won’t be returning. As a postscript… my wife emailed the restaurant outlining her opinion and they refunded our service charge …. Still won’t returning … there are better restaurants out there

Surprised by all the less than positive reviews. Food was somewhat overpriced but overall very tasty, waiting staff were helpful and attentive. I had the mackerel and the pie which were both good quality. The pie could have done with some veg (especially for the price!), and the roast potatoes between four of us were rather meanly portioned at 2 potatoes each(!!). However the pastry and pie portion was good. The fig set cream dessert was outstanding, such an intense flavour. It was a bit on the expensive side, but I’d personally recommend this place.

the potatoes and the pie were both quite underseasoned, for £50 (pie for 2) I would’ve expected it to be perfect. Definitely wouldn’t say it was worth the price. The staff were extremely attentive and the atmosphere was great however!

Noel made me several 10/10 cocktails. Highly recommend

Food mediocre and waiting over 1.5 hours for our main course

Fantastic Sunday lunch and very welcoming to our two dogs too. The whole chicken was huge and so there was a lot left for a doggie bag! Definitely will be back!

Came here for a Sunday roast with our dog recently. The roast chicken and the rump were amazing, although lacking in the accompanying sides that you would usually get with a roast… Service was a bit slow but it was a busy Sunday and the delicious food made up for it!

Went here for drinks- and staff were just so rude and condescending for no reason ??? Genuinely walked in with my family, and got met with hostility from bar staff and decided to leave before ordering anything as I felt so uncomfortable. Shame as I have been wanting to check out this spot for a while !

Very interesting food and very tasty. The staff was very nice, they helped us choose the food. The restaurant was very nice. The prices match the quality of the food.

Extremely disappointing for so many reasons. We had Sunday lunch. First is the service. We had to ask a few times for our drinks, and one of the servers was quite rude to us (a guy), essentially mocking us when asking if the roast potatoes were cooked in animal fat (as there were veggies interested in eating them). But what is most offensive is the cost versus quality. It’s £80-90 a head including 2-3 drinks, on average. And there’s no veggies included with the roast, the servings are small & the meat was tough. The gurnard was lacking in seasoning, and one fillet was £30+. Style over substance. Really, really disappointing.

Went for the Sunday roast. Staff were very accommodating of my dog and for people with disabilities. The rib roast was expensive but worth every penny and the level of cooking was truly exceptional. This was maybe the best roast dinner I've ever had.

Absolutely overrated. The amount and of food you get for what they called 'set menu' is simply not at the level for you to remember the place with the flavour of satisfaction. In other words, no worthy that lil extra cost sometimes you expect will save the Sunday lunch. Must say they tried to make up with some desserts on the house, but... after taking that long in between dishes, we couldn't accept it and was late already for everyone. Sorry, but better out than in.

Definitely agree that this place is not worth a visit. Staff weren't too bad but the food was mediocre to awful. Overpriced food, dirty cutlery and dirty glasses. Avoid and go to somewhere much better in the area!

The best lamb buns i have ever had in my entire life. Still think about them, and so lucky my friends lived down the street from this establishment.

Amazing British food with great selection of drinks.

Probably one of the best roasts I had in London for a very long time.. especially the lamb (mutton) was SUPER delicious and a huge portion (have to share it between 2). Everything was lovely service was excellent food was amazing the only thing I didn’t like is the fact that you are forced to choose between a 2 course or 3 course menu and the starting price is £38 so we ended up paying more than £54 just for a Sunday roast which I find very expensive!

Brilliant atmosphere let down by over priced, average food and slow service. Not very accommodating for vegans.

Lovely food, great roof terrace
