Marquess of Anglesey Pub in City of London, Westminster

Great vibes here, especially when the sun is shining and the rooftop terrace is open.

The rooftop is great for a drink on the terrace

Had a quick drink loud and lively

Went for pre-lunch drinks today, lovely staff, very friendly and helpful, especially Yusuf. The food looked great, will be trying that very soon!

Popped in got a drink very busy smf lively

I’ve been a regular at the Marquess of Anglesey Pub for over two decades, visiting frequently, and I’ve always enjoyed the atmosphere. However, recently I had a very unpleasant experience with a man working there. This guy, who I believe might be from Eastern Europe, has been incredibly rude. His English is broken, but the bigger issue is his attitude – he’s downright disrespectful. I’ve never encountered anyone like him in all the years I’ve been coming here. After reading some other reviews, I realized that he’s been responding to people’s feedback online, and his responses are even worse than his behavior in person! It makes me wonder if the managers or owners are aware of what’s going on, because this sort of treatment could drive away loyal customers. I don’t know what the situation is, but it’s definitely a negative change for a pub that’s always been a local favorite. I hope the owners take a closer look at what’s happening with staff behavior, especially when it’s as rude as this.

I was there to enjoy my time and I saw a member of stuff was bullying a foreign customer like myself who seems to be a very nice person and he didn’t say anything to them. I will never go there and will let my friends know…

Great little pub. One of my favourites in central London

Fab meal - we had the fish and chips and the sausage and mash. Maria S looked after us - great recommendations on wine options and she was so friendly. We will be back! Thanks!

Brilliant drinks and food for our group of 17, after the London Landmarks Half Marathon. Staff were so lovely and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble! Thank you!

Very nice setting for drinks with friends. It gets busy but the service doesn't drop!

Great place for a drink or two. Lovely open air roof top bar

Excellent fish and chips Kind and cheerful staff.

Very rude bar staff who don’t mind if other customers push to the front of the cue after standing in the cue for over 20 minutes. Plenty of better pubs round the corner.

The food was delicious and we had some of the best service on our trip to London here! Our server in the restaurant was amazing and she was handling the whole second floor. We will be back on our next trip.

As above did not need food good choice of beer friendly staff

Good food in a friendly pub. Well worth a visit just for a drink but food a good add on.

Wine was great Maria S and Alice superb And kudos on the playlist

Extremely fresh and humongous portions of cod along with crispy chips and tasty ales. Service was excellent.

Thank you to Maria.S for this excellent meal. The best fish and chips we have ever eaten. While visiting London, our guide recommended your restaurant and we loved it! Fast and impeccable service, very friendly 😄. The fish and chips cost 20 pounds but considering the size and taste it was well worth it ☺️. Smaller fish and chips are available on request.

Stunning pub, lovely food, attentive staff!!

Taken over by NUFC before their win at Wembley. Great atmosphere but not sure what it's like normally!

Nice pub great atmosphere and choice of ales, standard price for location £7-8 a pint

Good pub with loads of space inside. Nice rooftop terrace as well (if there is room). Busy area and a popular pub.

£7.80 a Guinness is madness, countries gone mad.

Great Roof Terrace ... but the service doesn't match . Often nobody behind the bar & left waiting to be served .

What a night we reserviced an area on the roof top to have team drinks after a long days sales meeting, the atmosphere was great and the fellas behind that bar was amazing Thank You. Team Swords Travel.

Popped in for a quick pint and was greeted by the lovely maria, anni and pier. All staff were super warm friendly and very knowledgeable about the selection of drinks available. Myself and willow will definitely be popping in if we know these guys are working!!!

Vey expensive £40 for 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine but I guess that is London prices

3 floor Bar bottom floor Restaurant first floor Rooftop terrace

It's a Young's pub. What is there not to like. Thank you guys

We have regular get together at the MoA and we always have a great time. Despite the rooftop space being very crowded, the bar service is always top class and the food and drinks are great. Can be a tad cold when the roof is off mind you !!

This place was packed with an extremely loud group of people at the next table. It was ok for us, but may have irritated others. We ordered the Sunday Roast (beef rump and chicken). The beef was overcooked unfortunately. The food had no seasoning. But it was a fairly decent meal. The waiter was what made this whole meal tolerable. He was knowledgeable and funny. I probably would not return.

Very relaxing atmosphere. Not too crowded.

Very friendly staff and atmosphere. Good selection of drinks. Haven't tried the food this time

October 1st the wife and I swung in for some late night eats just in the nick of time, wife loved the spiced squash soup, burger was just a burger and chips were delicious 😋

One of our favourite pubs in London. Love the atmosphere. Excellent service from Maria S, who is always kind and helpful.

Great English food in a lovely neighborhood of London. The waitresses are very kind. See you soon ❤️

Fabulous attentive service from Freya and Kadina on Sunday 16 Feb 25.

Lovely roast dinner and great service from Freya and Kadina !!

Marias and Katlyn were excellent hosts. Made us feel very welcome and were super friendly 😊

Maria S is so friendly and excellent at her job. She made us feel incredibly welcomed and we would happily come back again.

Have been here for a quiet couple of hours to myself, with a nice glass of wine and a good book. The venue is lovely, but I would just like to particularly thank Mark behind (and in front of) the bar, who has greeted every customer with joy and been so friendly, he is an absolute star.

This is a sad story. We used to come to this pub 20 years ago or so. It was always a stalwart. Reliable, fun, fast. We're Londoners. We've been back twice in 2024 and something rather dreadful has happened. It's turned into a kind of restaurant pretending to be a pub but tragically, as with so many central pubs, the staff *just don't care*. There's no need to, right? There will always be passing trade in Covent Garden, after all. The upstairs area is staffed by temps, so numerous that they are almost falling over each other while managing to avoid noticing that you might need something. While uninterested in being fun, fast and helpful they are remarkably assiduous when it comes to taking payment. Is there anything worse than slow table service in what is meant to be a fast, fun pub? I guess there's a nice view of the street. Now there's a new roof terrace! And it's some kind of party bar. Sigh. Pubs can be masterpieces. This was! It now isn't. Please can someone buy it and rescue it?

What a great family night and catch up. Pub was super busy on all floors but the atmosphere was superb and the team looked after us like royalty. Thank you.

Had a ticket for the opera but had to attend an online work meeting last minute. Staff were great in finding me a spot to sit on my laptop out of the way. Managed to have a lovely lunch before hand.

Brilliant pub, good vibe, staff were friendly

Friendly pub, plenty of choice at the bar

Great little pub, just off the main square. Good atmosphere and good traditional pub menu...need to book a table as gets busy!

We went for dinner on a Friday evening. We didn't book a table but we managed to get a table on the first floor where the atmosphere was nice and the decoration chic. We chose this place because of the January set menu and closeness to the musical theatre which we attended afterwards. We needed to request the set menu as they didn't bring along the carte menu, although it was possible to use in the time and day where we went. They came to take note of our order very quickly but we waited half an hour for our starters to arrive (two salads). And then, we needed to request our main and dessert as soon as we got the starter as otherwise, we wouldn't be able to finish our food before leaving for the musical. We felt a bit in a rush, although we thought there was enough time, so we would recommend coming with plenty of time if you are going for a pre-theatre dinner to avoid this, especially on a Friday or weekend. The food was good but nothing special although desserts were delicious. Service was attentive and kind and they do their best to place our orders quicker after the starters. We might come back to try their fish and chips as was looking amazing.

3 sunday lunches ordered yesterday 1 vegan. No roast potatoes, plain par boiled received, no cabbage, no swede. We did get mashed carrotts, & hard standard carrots, 2 chicken legs (was listed as 1/2 chicken) 3 small slithers of beef that actually tasted and looked like liver! 1 yorkie and a slither of gravy. When highlighted we were told oh they must have ran out of veg. Extra gravy was requested and 2 trips to the bar to ask for salt & pepper and again for the gravy which was delivered in a tiny egg cup size container. Very disapointed as it was cold & wet outside and certainly didnt get what we expected.

Such a lovely young liverpool lad who was so helpfull when my friend and i had lunch thursday it was raining so hard, he even gave us a brolly unfortunately we could get it to open ,so we left it downstairs, so many thanks for good food.. good service ...

We went a few weeks ago and had a great time with a few drinks, the main bar was nice and our server Alice was really friendly We had wanted to get food but it was a bit busy downstairs, besides that a great place!

I held my birthday on the rooftop bar, having some friends over wine and canapés. We all had a great time as the food and drinks selection were delicious. The service was amazing with Lakaya, Frank and Nyron being so attentive and ensuring that everyone had what they needed throughout the whole night. The space itself is stunning without a need for decorations at all. Could not recommend the pub further to celebrate your special moments!

A great place for food and drink near Covent garden

Zack and sajan was so great and nice and kind

Marc H was just amazing! Incredible service and communication throughout 👍🏻

Mark H was amazing, no maybes just amazing service! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Normally the food is very good but something seemed to go horribly wrong with the kitchen this time because the main course was cold or at least not hot and the dessert pretty well inedible. The waiters were very apologetic and tried their best but it wasn't the pub's finest hour.

I came in recently just for drinks and was served by a lovely lady named Kadina. She made our whole night. The service was fast, drinks were great and fun conversation to go with it. Will be coming again.

The service from Kadina was absolutely amazing we had such a great experience as well as the really good food!!!

I came here early afternoon recently for a drink and a bit of food. When I arrived I ended up waiting a while to order my drink despite the pub/ bar not being too busy and when I finally got round to ordering the man (older, grey haired, short gentleman) behind the bar taking my order was rude and standoffish. When I asked if I could order food he told me in a very aggressive manner that they were not doing food until later with no reason given. An hour later I decided to order off the app instead of the bar and it showed some food options available so I ordered (just some chips). When it came the people serving it threw my food down onto the table with the same aggressiveness as before. I have since read some previous reviews and can see others have had similar issues with who I can only assume is the same man by the description. Do better Youngs and listen to your customers!!! Very disappointed.

Nyrom was fantastic and enthusiastic on a gloomy day with the kiddos in London. Good service when so hard to come by.

Nice gastropub , good food , friendly service.

Disappointed in the quality of the roast dinner. The roast beef was good but the potatoes dry and the accompanying veg lukewarm. The cauliflower and cheese was watery and had no cheese taste. Subpar roast overall.

We had a wonderful group lunch in the upstairs room and were looked after so well (thanks Mark you're amazing). The food was all class and we had a great time!

The Marquess bravely hosted a Xmas lunch for 44 of us in the 1st Floor dining room on 10/12 and it was absolutely superb. Food was excellent, service was friendly and fun and the roof top bar added the cherry on the cake. Massive thanks to Aidan and the team!

Only 2 bar staff for hundreds of customers! 25 minute wait to get a drink even if ordered online! Scuffy rude man served us! Expensive! Yes it’s Christmas but it’s the same time every year and busy so get more bar staff!! Will not be returning!

In October my girlfriend and I were on a tour from the US and had stopped in nearby Covent Garden. We hadn’t had fish and chips yet, so our local city guide recommended this place. The food and beer were excellent and the interior was so pretty. We sat on the second, wait no, the l first floor as they say in the UK. The waitress was really friendly. We each had the fish and chips and they were delicious

We always pop in fir for a drink here whenever we are in London.

Really loved this place, we were well looked after and the food was lovely.

Lovely views of the area from a balcony seat upstairs. Lovely modern pub atmosphere

I organised my work Christmas party here last night and it could not have been more perfect, what a super cosy lovely atmosphere. We hired the room on the 1st floor for 30 of us and pre-ordered a bunch of food and drink. Liaising with the venue was super smooth from start to end. - Food was really great (especially the scotch eggs) - Wine selection was spot on - Service was 10/10 thank you to Mark and lovely lady who looked after us all evening

Lovely view, incredible Sunday roast and felt very taken care of by Maria. Thank you!

Nice pub , drinks are a little expensive but due to the area. Upstairs seating area is nice would come again

Maria S and Mark H were great servers! Would come back again!

perfect for French customers !!

great place to eat something in peace with a typical London atmosphere Mark was kind with us

We always have a lovely time here. Wonderful staff and service.

A large pub in a popular area, serving a large range of drinks and food in a traditional setting and with decent staff. However the real selling point and unique aspect is the roof top terrace. It’s not a large space, and popular for private events, but if you are able to get out there it’s a real sun trap with great atmosphere and it’s own bar. The prices are pretty steep but for such a unique setting worth it. A favourite spot of mine in the area for a memorable drink.

Excellent place facing Covent Garden. Service from Mark is top notch.

Hi, Six years ago I gave you a three-start rating and now that I think about it and after visiting many more restaurants. I'm going to reconsider my rating and give you a five-start rating.

Stunning pub, get yourself upstairs to the terrace bar.

It's a pretty generic pub so nothing to write home about but had to write this review to say - WHY IS THE MUSIC SO LOUD!? It's not a bar, there's noone who is going there to dance, so why did they do that. The music was so loud that we had to shout at each other like you would at a club. I've never in my life been in this type of situation at any pub. And also not like the sound system was any good - nothing worse than trying to overcompensate for bad quality sound system by increasing the volume.

Staff were amazing Maisey and her team absolutely awesome

Lovely place just stopped in for a drink. Friendly bar staff nice pub

Not my type of food on menu. But a good pint of guiness staff pleasant and friendly

We were up from Bournemouth going to a show and I'd seen this pub on Instagram. It looked cool so booked for pre theatre dinner. We loved this pub The food was lovely piping hot and loads of it. Never seen Haddock and chips so huge!!! No room for puddings but we had coffees after. Lovely staff and a great experience

Tired legs needed a break, and the rest needed a drink! Nice place!

An extremely busy pub - we were fortunate to find a seat on a Saturday afternoon. The bar-server didn't know what a dry martini was, but I guess it isn't a drink that's currently fashionable so he could be forgiven I suppose.

Good food, quick service. Wonderful 👍

Great place, great food and fab service. Will return.

Great place! Lovely food and great atmosphere. Very friendly service and very reasonable priced. Will be revisiting 🍻🙂

Nadine is the most amazing new bartender:)

Me and my friend came in for a drink and had a great night. Nadine behind the bar welcomed us with a nice smiled and made sure we had everything we needed. I got the wrong drink from another bartender and she quickly sorted the issue. The space was clean but the music good be better tbh. Maybe some more rock and disco classics :)

Great little rooftop bar..use the door to the right for the staircase up. As you'd expect it gets busy. Prices not crazy. Pint of beer under £8 and bottle of Chablis less than £60

Visited on Sunday for lunch. First and foremost the ambiance on the first floor is absolutely lovely , the service is first class from the staff. The Sunday lunch was delicious, my partner and I chose devilled lambs kidney on sour dough to start followed by the most tender flavoursome beef and all the trimmings as main course both delicious meals were accompanied by a good red wine Our waitress Maria’s service was first class, from her delicious Negronis to her great customer service all of which makes a lovely combination! Maria is a credit to the pub so are all the other staff names I do not know. I think by this review you will definitely understand why we will definitely return very soon.

Kodina is the Bomb!! Food was fabulous, atmosphere amazing, and Kondina was the cherry on top!

We are very pleased with the service in the pub especially with the kindness of Maria. The food was very tasty. The ambience also.

Popped in for a drink while on a mooch. What an amazing place. It has about 4 floors. The roof terrace is fantastic. Don't walk past... Drury lane theatre right opposite. Staff excellent.
