The Marquis Of Granby

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.

The Marquis of Granby will go down in history as the most accommodating restaurant we've ever been to! We visited London from Canada and I picked the restaurant because it was in my Grandmother's neighborhood. We had reservations for 6:30 pm, but that day discovered a massive vintage market on Brick Lane! We called the restaurant to see if we could change our reservation to later in the evening, and the server asked us to come no later than 7:30 because the kitchen closes around that time. We arrived to a lively pub with exceptionally friendly staff and were brought to a room upstairs for dinner. Believe it or not, we were the only ones upstairs and a server stayed upstairs to take care of us the whole time! We both had the pie which came with a side of vegetables, mashed potatoes and a jug of gravy (yes, a small jug with so much gravy!). We loved every bite! Thank you Marquis of Granby for a very special and memorable night out.

Attractive little pub with pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Food and drink was a bit hit and miss. Beef rib pie was outstanding. Steak and ale pie good. Shepherds pie and burger not so flash. Nicholson pale ale tasted weak and flat and was tepid rather than chill. Lots of special deals including a discount for posting a review.
