Marquess Tavern review by Charlie
Visited the Marquess Tavern for Sunday lunch recently with my girlfriend to try the famous fore rib of beef. However, we were a little late (3.30PM) and all of the smaller cuts had gone. Ideally you need a party of 4-6 for the fore rib option.
Anyway, after a little wait, our order was taken and we opted for the sirloin beef and the rump of lamb from the normal menu.
All of the meat is sourced from regional providers who are proudly named on the menu - and rightly so.
Both meals were delicious and the accompaniments (cabbage, roasties and Yorkshire pudding with the beef, and green beans and barley with the lamb) were also well cooked and tasty. I ordered a side portion of mash for my lamb which was also superb. All this was washed down with a couple of glasses of reasonable house red.
Bearing in mind we had no starters or main course, it wasn’t cheap for a pub (albeit a ‘gastro pub’) Sunday lunch at £46 (inc. 2 glasses of wine at £4.50 each) but then again, I’m happy to pay a premium for well sourced regional meat.
Over all the service was friendly if a little ‘casual’ at times (yes, it is a pub, but for the price it could have been a little more attentive) and the food was hearty and flavoursome.
We will be back – although it will be mobbed handed next time in order to tackle then fore rib of beef!
