Marquess Tavern - Islington

Called for a drink and something to eat following my tour of The Emirates. Everything was spot on. Good food and drink at reasonable prices. Service was good and the premises were spotlessly clean. Would be sure to revisit if I am back in the...area.

Disappointing Sunday lunch, food quality has really gone down with new management, which is a shame. Menu is now quite small. Meat for roast was very poor, pork crackling was inedible, food was cold. Its a real shame as we used to like the food...here

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. I would definitely recommend a visit if you live locally or are in the area .

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.

After two weeks in asia I was desperate for a good pub to eat. I know that some of them think I'm crazy after all British foods have such a bad call, right? wrong! They have listened to many Americans and we all know where this leads!. my very own American had recommended the marquess tavern in canonbury as place with amazing eating. I was pretty skeptical, but as soon as we went into the door and checked out the menu, I couldn't believe I had never been before. seafood, steaks, sideplenty, it's as if the mother ship called me home. if they didn't know, I'm obsessed with sauces. to me the queen of...read more
