The Marquis of Granby in City of London, Westminster

Curt female bar staff, not very welcoming. Fine for a quick pit stop, but little else.

Had a great time here, 10/10 would recommend

Great pub. Busy but not a long wait. Short rib pie was phenomenal. Would recommend.

Great food, nice ambiance and our server, Yannick was the best!

Lovely food and ambience! Not too loud. The staff is really nice!

Love this place. Martina , Jess, Yan, Jamie, Emma and Alba. All amazing! 🥰

Yan may be the most charismatic and convincing barman in the world. Closely followed by the excellent Emma and Alba. I did not have a gun to my head when I wrote it. Love you lots xxx

Great pub worth visiting that is just a short walk from main attractions like Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and more. Great service and classically maintained.

Quick couple of drinks. Small and enjoyable traditional boozer. Friendly staff and good mix of work drinkers.

Best servers/bartenders EVER!!! Yannick & Alba🙂🙂🙂🙂

Very good Nicholson's pub about five minutes walk from the north side of Lambeth Bridge. Seven cask beers on handpump when I visited. A couple of tables outside along with lots of standing room on the street, some of it covered. An historic pub rebuilt in 1933/4, frequented by politicians, civil servants, media folk and concert goers from nearby St John’s, Smith Square. The Marquis of Granby was a soldier, rising to become Commander-in-Chief in 1766; a board outside the pub gives his history.

Great pub, really enjoyed the fish and chips. Decor was really homely. Served by Rory who was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Yannick was amazing! Great food and drinks! # Rory and Emma and Naomi was great too. Had fish and chips and the pride of London

Great pub, good beer, good gin, good vibe

Lovely staff and the pie was amazing as always. Daniel and Josh were amazing.

Another dropin pint, Fullers Lo don Pride very lively and inecperienced bar person put 1/2 inch head on it. Menu looked really good but like the beer, not cheap.

Had the best time here at the marquis. The staff here especially Jessica was very polite and gave me a warm welcome. The food was delicious!! Would definitely come back again.

Went to this establishment on a Monday evening and had an absolutely great time with the family. Daniel, Emma, Yannick, and Naomi were fabulous and we highly recommend if you are looking for a drink and some food! 10/10.

Cute pub in a quiet area. Perfect for pre show at the Sinfonia Smith Square

A touch of history. Great staff and great food.

Great atmosphere and customer service!

Yannick and Alba are top notch on service and super friendly! Coming back soon!

We are doing the tourist thing, coming from San Antonio TX. Your staff has treated us great. Good food and service. We took a friend I haven't seen in 40 years here. The staff took care of us and made the most of our reunion.

It's London, stand any which way and you've got at least four pubs all in arms length, but we somehow found ourselves in this one. Had a couple of beers, split the steak and ale pie as well as the fish and chips, all of which hit the spot. Staff was friendly, bar was clean, and within easy walking distance to all the downtown historical sites making this an easy lunch spot.

Nice pub loads of options for drinks and decently priced!

Came for drinks. Great old school atmosphere. Great pub.

Excellent service and delicious snacks. Great atmosphere although throwing of bottles in bin made rather unpleasant noises.

Magnificent service, very good quality food, many drinks, attention to intolerances, great variety of drinks and meals, 100% recommended

Friendly service & great location

Lovely gem of a pub, will be back Staff lively and really quaint place

Love the atmosphere and the staff. Will be back!

Best thing about this pub is its location (ie near the Houses of Parliament). Otherwise little to recommend it: surly service and not much character inside.

Great time for drinks with friends

Just popped in for a round of drinks; it was moments before they closed but the women behind the bar were most gracious & hospitable!

Great lunch spot with fun atmosphere and delicious food. Great service and a quick kitchen staff made for a great experience.

Yannick is a fabulous bar tender!

A good place to have a snack near Windmister, but away from the hustle and bustle. Good atmosphere and special mention to the service that Alba provided us, super attentive and friendly at all times. Thank you very much from Mateo and Belen.

A group of 4 visited, we bought 4 drinks Madri was off and flat, also adnams gostship this was off and sour, the toilets were absolutely disgusting the smell was awful it seemed it had not been cleaned for weeks. Shocking would never vist again

Tucked away in a side street, the Marquis is a pub for those in the Westminster know. And it's all the better for that. I don't mean it's devoid of politicos, indeed we were a group of politicos who descended on the place for my most recent visit. And I don't mean that it's wholly without the odd tourist popping in. They get everywhere in Westminster, but they don't overwhelm the Marquis. No, it's a solid, truly urban, pub, dark-wooded, enclosed feeling, discreet but not secretive. And, of course, the pub grub is reliable and unfussy, the real ales, the ciders and the lagers, plus the wines and spirits are well-judged and well-served. Anything to add? Don't tell too many friends about the place, I like it like it is!

A great little pub with a great selection of beer. The food is good too with a big main menu selection alongside their excellent pie menu. Can get crowded in the evenings like every pub but you won't wait long to be served. A good honest proper pub which is a rare thing in London now! Updated June 24

The food is disappointing & the steak is not worth the £27 price tag. The loos need to be completely refurbished as they are very smelly and very much like public loos on streets that haven't been attended to for decades. It's a pity the upstairs restaurant isn't open any more, except for large parties as that was one of the highlights of this pub. However, even if the restaurant were to be open, I wouldn't want to come back, given the food quality and the state of the loos. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful, but unfortunately that doesn't make up for the deficiencies. It's a shame, as this was once a very good place to eat a few years ago.

What a pleasant little pub. Asked these two to take a picture of us and they asked us to take one of them. Great atmosphere and good selection of beer on tap….A little humid inside but found a couple of chairs outside to enjoy the London noon breeze.

Decent beer. Priced at typical London rates. Hard to get a seat inside. Hardly any seating outside. Plenty of people stood around with a pint. Service was brisk and friendly.

It's pretty good although weirdly shuts at 5pm on a Saturday

Both had lovely pies and drinks

Stumbled on the best pies on earth. Just the best. Yannick was our server and he was better than the pies. Great personality and smiling cheerfully throughout the evening. Made us Americans feel right at home.

Nicholson’s pale is delicious. Good friendly vibe.

I don't come to the Marquis of Granby often but I have been dropping in whilst working locally for 20 years. Where is has changed it has changed for the better and the current selection of beer and bar snacks is very good.

Yannick is an absolute legend, best bartender I’ve had in my entire life. Place to be any day of the week!

Wonderful atmosphere with great food and beer. Highly recommend!

Stopped in for a bite and a pint on the way back to our hotel and they had a beef pie and beer deal, both absolutely hit the spot. Sorry forgot to get a picture of the pie, I was to hungry.

A lively pub on a quiet road. Haf a lovely warm local feel to it. More adult friendly than family friendly. Be sure to book ahead as you'll struggle to find a seat, especially at peak times after 5

It doesn't need many words Service very unfriendly, no hello, forgets the order from one minute to the next - prefers to play on the cell phone. Men's toilet 🚽 is similar to a train station toilet Food looks good but has no taste. It's a shame that the place looks very impressive.

A pub that proves dark wood panelling hasn't been totally monopolised by Sam Smiths. Not yet any way... Also important to point out the good beer selection and how it always seems to have a healthy number of punters inside and out. I'll happily repeat my custom here in the future.

Food and drinks when you need it.

We had a really good afternoon tea and the service was top notch.

Shuts at 7 at a weekend. Fine but taking chairs from people sitting outside at 6:15 is not good customer service. Especially, with a curt attitude. Unimpressed... Answering the owner's response: Thank you for reaching out. Your 30+ male colleague acted as if the supervisor. He claimed he had told us about the chairs 45 mins before closing policy but even at the bar we had already sensed he was going to find politeness challenging. Thankfully, we experienced friendly and grateful service just over the river to recover the joy of our London trip.

Food and service was excellent !!

Unfortunately had a bad customer experience having bought our drinks, sat outside and curtly told to get up because they needed to put the table and chairs away even though we hadn’t finished (apparently he had said before but we didn’t know) bearing in mind it was 6:15 and online it’s says it closes at 7pm. We’d bought our drinks at about 10 to 6. Totally unnecessary attitude

Burgers, pies and sandwiches! All top! Unbelievable selection of beers and ales. Great place!

Get to this spot!! Visiting for a week from the US and this was my favorite of the many, many pubs I visited. Huge shoutout to Yannick (not certain on spelling, no disrespect intended if I’m incorrect). He was a delight in welcoming us and making us feel at home even though we were 5,000 miles away from home. The entire staff was super friendly and helpful, and the beer selection was great. Didn’t have any food, but the deals on the bar snacks looked awesome. The vibe is also terrific. Good music on, but not so loud you can’t talk to the person next to you. If you’re in the area drop in for a pint or five for sure. We definitely will next time we make the jump across the pond.

Lovely historic place with House of Commons division bell. Typical London pub with lovely kept Nicholsons Pale 🍺 ale.

I didn’t have food but is a good vibe!

Excellent service! Staff very friendly and accommodating. Great traditional pub with lively atmosphere. We were celebrating our 20th anniversary book club and it hit the spot. The food was delicious and arrived promptly. Thanks all 😊

Good place to have a beer or two with colleagues after office hours.

Charming pub for gathering after our event at the House of Lords!

Martina jas made my evening even greater with her bubbly personality and welcoming manner. I will return x

First time staying in this part of London and finding the Marquis. Beautiful building and rooms. Your staff is wonderful; friendly, accommodating, and excellent customer service. While not applying to us, very courteous that they asked about food allergies when taking our order. Your kitchen staff is also excellent - the food was delicious (the lamb shank bone in the pie is brilliant and the carrots were really great). Also, shout out for the strong wifi; I decided to catch up on my work here with my laptop and a few pints instead of a stuffy hotel room. My only regret is not finding you until our last day here.

Loved the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. Pub culture is very different than what we're used to but the staff was very welcoming and we adapted quickly to the environment. I had a meat pie, UNBELIEVABLE! Wife had the fish and chips and enjoyed it very much. Did I mention the meat pie?!? Again, staff was phenomenal and we really enjoyed the experience. Thank you

Classic small Westminster pub, great selection of cask ales, nice lunchtime options with some great pie options

Great pub but not very friendly staff.

Nice place with great people. No nonsens and relaxed.

Booked for 12 for lunch. Sent the food choices via email. Had to phone to delay arrival by 15-30 minutes and change a couple of choices. Staff friendly and helpful. Food good. Let us all pay for our own food even though on one bill. Would book again

Deadpan faces on the bar staff. Unfriendly, looking at their phones behind the bar. Had to clear own table of the last customers rubbish and glasses. Oh and it wasn’t even that busy! Not good really

Amazing staff and great atmosphere. So helpful with our tree nut allergies. Will tell everyone we know how great the food was. Thanks Your Canadian friend’s

Great atmosphere, well located pub, very reasonable prices!

Lovely pub! One of my favourites in london

Lovely friendly pub! We thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks! Bartenders were fab! Thank you!

Delightful classic pub walking distance from all the historic places you want to see! Decent bites too.

I organised a group meal prior to a Christmas Concert this evening and the experience we had here was exemplary. Highly efficient communication during the booking process, great facilities and really lovely food. The chefs and our waiter did a fantastic job!

Amazing pub! Would definitely recommend in the Big Ben area 👍🏼

I ate here on a Saturday with my family. Food was really good. No complaints. Considering it’s not table service the staff made sure we had everything we needed. They were chatty and welcoming (Jess, Mayomi and Rory).

Veggie food on the menu. None available. Not a good Nicholson pub

Excellent service and highly recommend

Great atmosphere, beer will kept, Bangers and Mash a must but they ran out of mustard (English) - unforgivable!

This is a tidy, cozy little pub. I had the Puy Lentil and Vegetable Cottage Pie and a beer over lunch. For those unfamiliar, it's worth noting that this is a pie without a pastry shell. I misunderstood this key fact, but found the dish quite tasty and satisfying nonetheless. At around 12:45 on a Tuesday, the pub was lively but not crowded. It was attended by a variety of clientele (business, retirees, friends, and at least one tourist, myself.) They have an app for ordering food to your table but in that moment they preferred that I order at the bar. That was good, given I couldn't figure out what table number I was seated at (a key requirement for ordering from the app). Finally, I'll just say that the server employed that particular manner of speaking in which one is routinely called love or darling at the end of each sentence. This, of course, I found delightful.

Very cool old British Pub vibe. Great food, great beers. Serving real cask ales. Friendly staff, great service.

Cozy traditional pub, centric but outside of the crowded areas around the Parliament. The local draft beers are nice! Good snacks for a quick bite

Nice and cozy place, lovely pies and the staff is very friendly.

Love this pub, been coming here for 7 years as I work near by - great staff :)

Great place! Real cask ale with old standby Fullers London Pride and many of the new smaller breweries as choices. Had whole lamb shank in Sheppards Pie that was great! Also, sausage and mash with a great sausage that was mostly meat with a little bit of cereal. I'll be back!

My favourite pub in Westminster! Regular here

Great experience, would recommend!!

Food was amazing, and the atmosphere was cozy and convivial. Lucky find.

We found this pub by chance, while strolling around the neighborhood. We had planned on having lunch elsewhere, but were attracted by the sign advertising their pies. We changed plans and did not regret it in the least. This was certainly the best pie we had in London. I had the slow-cooked beef rib pie while my wife had the steak and nicholson's pale ale pie, both superb. Customers were the usual mix of locals and business people, along with some tourists. We heartily recommend it.

Fantastic pie and mash! Great ale and very pleasant and helpful staff.

Excellent atmosphere and drinks

Good food. No table ordering, but what is ordered at the bar is delivered to the table.

Amazing place, very fast customer service
