Marquess Tavern review by simon11

Went for a friend's birthday dinner last night and enjoyed it so much I felt the need to spread the word. Lovely staff and atmosphere and the food was fantastic. I started with a pike salad - great to see such an underrated fish getting used, followed it up with a perfectly pink piece of lamb and ended with a rhubarb burnt cream - after a good natured debate with our waitress she convinced us that this wasnt just a french dish (creme brulee) with an english name and that burnt creams have a long tradition in british cooking, apparently originating at Trinity College, Oxford.

Thoroughly recommended. Good food (but not the cheapest), good drink and a food history lesson thrown in.
