Editing my review. After some time of bad food after the covid reopening, food lately has been very good. Spencer and the team give great service thanks to their outgoing, friendly personality.

Living locally, i'd always rated this pub as a good off radar local for a quiet mid-week pint. Unfortunately our experience today was terrible, and we wont be back anytime soon. Whilst the main crowd was the usual mix of sunday families out seeking a roast in a quaint pub setting, the atmosphere was instead totally dominated by the pub owner/manager (the guy with glasses, who I see other reviews have mentioned) and 5 or so of his loud and obnoxious friends, all grossly intoxicated and yelling/singing loudly and inappropriately while huddled around the bar. Not to mention continually venturing behind the bar to endlessly skip tracks and force play their (frankly horrendous) music choices at increasingly deafening volume, to the point that we struggled to hear each other speaking at our table. It felt like, instead of a pub, we had unwittingly ended up in the garden room of someones wierd 16yo cousin, who had invited his school mates over drink beers and take pills for the first time while his parents were away for the weekend. The staff working seemed to fall in to 2 camps. Either they were completely disintersted in serving and more keen just to hang out chatting/drinking with the owners mates. Otherwise, those that were actually doing anything, seemed downtrodden with a mix of glib defeatism and embarrasement - the kind of sad expression you see on a 13yo kid who's parents have drunk way too much and become a complete embarrassment at a family wedding. It is sad to see a local pub with such great potential being continually squandered. Please do better Marquess.

Good value beefburger and fries, very tasty! Smallish but varied and interesting menu. Friendly and welcoming staff, excellent range of cask beers as well as keg. Food served on quiet nights when many other pubs don't bother opening their kitchens which is worth knowing. Will definitely be back again

Popped in for a quick lunch on a Monday - we used to come here about 15 years ago. A new manager has recently taken over and they have plans to revamp their menu so watch this space. Food was pretty good - I had the Cumberland ring sausage with green lentils, which was nice; albeit arrived suspiciously quickly from the kitchen. Fingers crossed for this place as it’s a beautiful pub and has the potential to be amazing.

Just had a terrible meal here! At 7 in the evening they had no fish and chips left, therefore ordered a butternut squash main course instead. This came out on a tiny plate with two thin pieces of butternut squash and some wilted spinach leaves. Apparently this was how it was supposed to be for £16!!!! Also had a glass of Prosecco which was obviously the dregs of the bottle and was completely flat. Bar staff totally uninterested in resolving these issues!

I've been coming here quite a few times and I always liked it before. Used to have really good food for a fair price... Now the food was very underwhelming. I had the roast squash and when I was eating it I thought it seemed a bit bare, just squash, spinach, red onion and pomegranate. I looked at the menu again and I saw it was supposed to come with butter bean purée and almonds that was missing. £14 for the main and £4 for a very small bowl of chips. Overall the portions were quite small, my friend went to get chicken wings after since he was still hungry...

This pub is always reinventing itself: in the time we've lived in the area, it's been a pub for locals, a gastro pub with very expensive expensive prices and not great food, and more recently a decent friendly local with reasonable prices and good footfall. However, on our last visit, it seemed to be being run by children. There weren't many customers in and the staff were so noisy that my partner couldn't hear what I was saying, despite me repeating myself many times. She suggested saying something to the four staff (two of whom were coming off their shift) behind the bar, who were shrieking about something on one of their phones and completely oblivious to the fact that they were in charge of a pub. I said that we shouldn't say anything, as then we wouldn't ever be able to come back (we only live down the road), but we did give them a very disapproving look. This prompted an extremely rude response from three of the four staff. They clearly didn't care if we were paying customers or not. The more senior person suggested that we move to a quieter part of the pub if the staff were disturbing us but she stood by her staff rather than offering an apology for their playground 'what you looking at?' type rudeness. If the owners continue to employ such inexperienced and immature staff, customers will vote with their feet. The staff just didn't seem to compute that the customers that they were so rude to pay their wages and pay the pub's rent. We wouldn't dream of going back there, sadly, until there's a change of management. We wouldn't expect to be spoken to like that in any context, let alone when we're paying customers.

The pub itself is in a great location, with a gorgeous interior. We went in there for Sunday lunch, and were sadly disappointed. Initial impression was very good. Staff were attentive, friendly and charming, and served us a drink as we took our seats. Unfortunately the food simply wasn’t up to standard. We both ordered a roast; the meat was dry and inexpertly cut. The vegetables were damp and flaccid, and the gravy was essentially just brown, meat-scented water. It’s a terrible shame that such a nice place was let down so badly. I wish I could be kinder to the Marquess, it’s a lovely pub and the people were charming. Stick to drinks if you come here.

The place itself could be nice, but it's unfortunately overshadowed by the very poor service. The waitress completely ignored me standing at the nearly empty bar and when I finally got served, it took ages until they got their payment system running. Business isn't an excuse when the pub is nearly empty.

The Marquess is now under new management.It is no longer masquerading as a restaurant but has been restored as a very welcoming local pub. The staff are very friendly. Apparently the pub is no longer owned by Youngs but has been acquired by Punch Taverns,consequently the ales currently being served are Timothy Taylor’s and Tribute,both well kept.

This was the most awful customer service I have ever experienced. The manager/owner accused me of lying about confirming my table with a member of staff, went on a long rant about how we have been uncontactable (I have the record of the call on my phone) and that they would never serve a group larger than 8 and if anyone else turned up they would be refused. The pub was empty apart from 2 other tables. Her tone was rude, patronising and I honestly cannot understand why anyone who works with the public would behave in this manner. This was a birthday booking (which she was aware of as she mentioned it in her rant) and she ruined a perfectly nice family lunch. We left and did not eat. Truly bizarre behaviour from someone who runs a pub, I can see from other reviews she has been this rude to other customers. The other waitresses we spoke to were lovely but I would not recommend giving this woman your money.

Reasons NOT to go to this pub for a meal 1. The only time anyone came to our table was to take an order for the main and desert - not once were we asked how the food was or if we needed any extra water, drinks or accompaniment 2. When we wanted extra drinks or accompaniments one of us had to ask at bar3. Arrived at 130 and at 3.10 asked for two double expressos and told we could not order them as the table had a two hour time limit. We still had 20 mins. 4. Went to the bar and mentioned this and told they need 20 mins to turnaround the table. It’s a bare wooden table with a paper napkin and cutlery. 5. The Sunday roast was tasteless thin pieces of beef6. The Sunday roast lacked gravy 7. The Yorkshire pudding and potatoes were dry and cold 8. Asked for mustard and given English (no other choice) and it was congealed and only one teaspoon left in the dirty jar. After waiting 15 mins for someone to walk past that worked there had to ask at the bar for a clean and new jar. 9. Every time we wanted anything had to ask at bar due to lack of service10. Ordered the desert and the Elton Mess was dry and the meringue was so hard it was inedible 11. The cheapest glass of large wine is £8 and not great 12. Bill arrived and given the wrong one so had to be given two and pay twice. They ha be us a bill from another table. 13. £33.40 per person and refused a coffee with 20 minutes to go.What a terrible experience.

La Taberna del Marqués puede parecer un pub, pero no se deje engañar, de hecho es un PUB COMEDOR que aparentemente es muy diferente. Según la dama bastante grosera que dirige el espectáculo aquí, en este pub no se puede parar, ni usar el bar (que parece estar allí solo con fines estéticos), ni estar en un grupo de más de ocho, el servicio de mesa es obligatorio y Es probable que también le digan que su mesa ha sido reservada y su estadía se limitará a una hora, aunque es probable que el pub esté completamente vacío. Nuestra fiesta (que comenzó como un grupo de ocho y se convirtió en horror shock, diez) se hizo sentir tan desagradable que decidimos irnos. En mi opinión, lo que la administración aquí ha hecho a este hermoso edificio en esta maravillosa y apartada parte de la ciudad, junto a las orillas del Río Nuevo, es un acto de vandalismo. Evite hasta que la gerencia cambie sus formas o la administración cambie.

The location is sweet and the pub has a fair deal of charm. My friend got the larger roast combo and enjoyed it although I think it would be impossible for anyone to finish the whole thing. I had the vegetarian roast and it was fairly mediocre - particularly the "vegan gravy" which was tasted nothing more than water. I don't understand why this would be served, plenty of other pubs serve decent tasting vegetarian gravy, or do something else to sauce up the meal. Was also a bit offputting that we were constantly asked if we wanted more food or drinks - felt a bit pushy - given the pub was more than half empty the whole time we were there.

Good food, disrespectful service. We asked for a G&T and it was served without ice. When I asked the waitress for some ice, the person in charge of the pub yelled at me from behind the bar saying that we were informed when we arrived that the ice machine was not working, which was true. Nevertheless, I found that reaction quite out of tone. First, it could have been said in a more friendly way. Two, it's not my job to remember that they run out of ice. Three, they could have fixed the ice machine or could have gone to a store and buy some ice - knowing that it was a Saturday night in the month of July, as a consumer you expect a bar to have ice and if not to solve the problem quickly. I went through some other reviews and it seems that it's not the first time this kind of mistreatment happens in this place.

En nuestro tiempo reservado, un joven servidor de Mancunian muy agradable nos hizo saber que podríamos movernos a la mesa cuando estuviéramos listos. Se podría decir que nuestro grupo de dos parejas y dos solteros estaba bastante indeciso sobre qué pedir y, de hecho, en algunas etapas durante la comida, pensé que les estábamos dando la oportunidad de ir a buscar pan, cubiertos, servilletas, etc. pero nada.

I went to the Marquess and spent over £300 on lunch for 4 with wine . We were greeted with a passive aggressive and frosty manager who forced us into table service although we wanted time to talk to the bar maid and discuss drink options. Later we were outside and watched as they told several people the other tables were booked up, however, nobody ever claimed them. A girl then insisted on sitting there but moving if someone came along, she was refused service and when another pair came who hadn't booked the manager tried to lie to the girl and say it was their table. She disputed this and was subsequently asked to leave the pub. It was absolutely shocking. The manager was aggressive to not only us and her but several people outside were complaining about her behaviour. She was even doing fake crying to the girl as she left. Horrendous

Paid a visit on Sunday. We got a drink and asked to look at the menu. The polite bar girl asked us to take a seat. A woman who I presume is the manger shouted at the girl for telling us to take a seat. She said all the tables were booked. It was a quarter full at this time. We were then sat on the largest table in the place. We had our drinks and left as we felt like we were not wanted. It was still only a quarter full. Never shout at your staff in front of customers it’s unprofessional.

I have been here a few times for drinks and food. This pub is really nice and thus busy on the weekend. Really cozy with cool decor and fireplaces! There is a nice little garden and a few tables at the front, both nice for when the weather is nice. The sunday roast is ok, nothing amazing for what you pay but definitely big portions. Service is quick and friendly. Great place for a pint!

We finally made it back to The Marquess for another delicious roast. The pub was packed feeling lovely & cosy on a chilly day. Friendly welcoming staff made us feel at home with great efficient service, nothing was too much even though it was so busy. Beef roast with giant Yorkshire pudding was impressive to the eye & totally scrumptious (roasties were particularly perfect). Sticky toffee pudding was the perfect end to another lovely afternoon well spent at this glorious pub. We love this place & only wish it was our local. We will be back soon.

La carne asada de 18 con pudín de Yorkshire gigante fue una decepción enorme. El Yorkshire estaba casi incomible, ya que estaba tan seco que apenas podíamos cortarlo. Pedimos más salsa pero para cuando llegó todo estaba frío.

I booked the Marquess for my works Christmas dinner and I’m so pleased I did. Everything from start to finish was brilliant, we were quite a large group and we really felt looked after. Everyone thought their food was delicious, the staff were really friendly and attentive, and the pub itself looked lovely with all of the Christmas decorations. They really have gone to a lot of effort and it shows. We all agreed to go back for our next team night out we were so impressed. Highly recommended!

I have known this pub for many years - it used to be my local and was a lovely, welcoming pub - and went back to visit it on Sunday at about 2pm for a drink with my brother. I use a wheelchair and managed to get to the bar fairly easily but after ordering two beers we were asked if we had reserved a table. Apparently all tables had been booked for lunch and we weren't served our beers as we had no reservation. Most tables were vacant with very few people in the pub. We asked if it was now a pub or a restaurant we were told it was indeed a pub; apparently a pub that you can't buy a beer in unless you have a reservation to eat. As we were clearly not welcome to drink at the bar - difficult anyway if one is in a wheelchair - and as we were not served our beers anyway we had to leave. I can't comment on the quality of the beer or the facilities as we didn't get that far! We will not be back!

Visité al marqués, como hago a menudo, esta vez para cenar el lunes por la noche. Fui con mi esposa y mi mamá. El ambiente es siempre el de un pub local cálido y acogedor. Normalmente vengo para el domingo asado (que es increíble), así que esta fue la primera vez que ordenamos el menú normal. Comí la hamburguesa, mi esposa el bistec y terminé con un pudín de toffee. Todos fueron excelentes y disfrutamos sentados en "el cómodo". El personal siempre es agradable también.

I really want to like this pub. It’s a nice old building, local, tucked away, in a quiet residential area by the new river, and has outside seating. Unfortunately the food is poor. The steak, which I had rare, and was very expensive, was completely inedible; as chewy as a rubber dog-toy.

Vine aquí en un almuerzo de domingo. Pub estaba muy ocupado pero el personal que trabaja era fabuloso. Muy atentos, nada es demasiado problema. La comida estuvo deliciosa y bien presentada. Nunca he estado en un pub donde toda mi familia haya terminado todo. En parte debido a que eran muy exigentes, pero todos los platos de nuestra mesa estaban vacíos cuando terminamos. Si se atreve a esta joya de pub, vaya un domingo para obtener el pudín de Yorkshire del plato que viene con la carne asada.

Disfrutamos de nuestra cena temprano aquí, el ambiente agradable y el personal amable y eficiente. Éramos un grupo de tres personas y comimos una hamburguesa y dos tartas de pollo y puerro, todas muy bien cocinadas y presentadas, las verduras sin embargo faltaban un poco y nos decepcionó que no intercambiaran un puré de papas por papas fritas. Pedimos las patatas fritas de todos modos, pero tuvimos que pagar extra. La mayoría de los platos principales tenían alrededor de 15 y una botella de 20 rojos, casi normal para este tipo de pub de Londres.

An unwelcoming atmosphere with overpriced food & drinks with a 12.5% service charge. Manageress rude & I actually pity the staff who work under her. Short measures on draught beer & pathetic range of bottled beer. Soft furnishings stained & shabby. Will not return

My family including our 6 month old baby, group of friends and couple expecting a baby (7months pregnant) were made to feel so unwelcome and were spoken to with so little respect and utter rudeness due to the fact we had booked a table for 9 for lunch but our group had 1 more in the end making 10. Due to having only 1 more person, the manager became very angry and reacted in the most revoltingly rude, argumentative and nasty manner I have ever experienced. She said she would refuse to serve us our food if the extra person stayed. Unsure why and shocked by her reaction we tried to help by suggesting ordering in two halves at separate times or even sit on different tables, as despite her reaction we were still hoping to figure out a way our friends and families were able to eat lunch. She walks away saying she would see what she could do, finally we felt hopeful! After a few minutes she doesn’t return but instead sends over a different waiter with a bill for the drinks we’d ordered so far. We hadn’t asked for the cheque and despite her awful attitude we actually still wanted to stay for the food! I couldn’t believe that she wouldn’t engage in a normal conversation with us or have the decency to return to our table and talk to our face, instead getting another waiter to give us the bill,which felt like she was kicking us out; a group of families, friends, young baby and a heavily pregnant couple. I feel sorry for her staff who were apologetic and obviously embarrassed by her. I will NEVER return and want to make sure anyone who is planning to visit is aware of the unwelcome environment the manager may create that is unsuitable for families with small children.

Domingo almuerzo para seis de nosotros, incluyendo a dos niños. Servicio muy amable y pescado para niños y porciones de chips. Tuve una excelente pieza de cerdo con patatas asadas, todo el mundo estaba satisfecho con sus comidas. Un buen lugar para ir a almorzar con la familia. Seis de nosotros tener platos principales con un par de copas que venían a £98. Volver la próxima vez que estás en Londres.

Excelente comida y el servicio fue muy atento y amable. Niños y relajante = un nuevo favorito para comer el domingo. Nos sentamos en el pequeño jardín soleado y disfrutamos de un par de horas - buena comida, buena carta de vinos. El precio medio para comida de pub de calidad en Londres.

Very helpful staff served us quickly. We had all ordered a lamb Sunday roast which arrived cold. When I say cold I mean cold - not lukewarm but clap cold. We rejected the meals which were replaced quite quickly but were unfortunately still too cold to enjoy. Still not even lukewarm. For an establishment to sell food to the public and not have the competence to serve food to the correct temperature is a disgrace. Our birthday celebration was ruined, we will never go back and recommend this only as a place to avoid.

The Marquees is very close to where I live and I have enjoyed the food/atmosphere there several times so decided this was the place to take a good friend to to celebrate their birthday. The lamb roast came very highly recommended by the waitress so all 3 of us decided to order this. It came with most indecent haste, as in within 10 minutes of our sitting down, but hey we were hungry so no problem. What WAS the problem was that it was all cold, everything except the roast potatoes, and particularly the highly recommended yorkshire pudding . We sent it back to great apologies for the serving staff and a promise that we would not just get the same plate heated up when we got the replacement Unfortunately that was not to be. Our plates returned within 5 minutes with everything just as cold as it had been before . SO embarrassing. We discussed it together and despite having been in the restaurant less than 20 minutes and (only having had half a glass of wine from the bottle ordered), we just decided to pay the bill and leave. I know the owner and she was not there this time which was unfortunate as I am sure she would have sorted it. But really. There is a LOT of competitiion in Islington and the Marquess cannot afford to drop its standards so disastrously. I for one won't be returning in a hurry.
