The Marquess Tavern

Very friendly and warm greeting at the door. My parents-in-law were visiting and the manager serving us got everything just right. Safe options for them were recommended which the enjoyed a huge amount. If you’re looking for more adventurous dishes featuring kimchi/miso etc. this probably won’t be the place. But if you’re looking for well done pub classics in an off the beaten track, relaxed and cosy atmosphere then this is it! Burger was very good but, if I’m being picky, it was on the dry side and lacked some juiciness. Wine recommendation was spot on and worked well for everything we were eating. Also the table service (while not what normally happens) fit well with the in-laws. Will be back soon! Oh and the chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream and caramel was actually excellent. Thanks for a great night.

Nice spacious, bright interior, good location in a pretty residential area of Islington. I didn’t eat so can’t comment on food, bar service was good. Atmosphere - it was very quiet on the rainy Saturday afternoon we visited, hence the 3 stars. However, not a bad thing it was quiet as this was a relief after the noisy pub we’d moved on from where holding a conversation was difficult.
