   We loved the surroundings, this is a cosy pub with old fashioned feel but with very high quality of food. Usually this is a quiet option - the Marquess is off the beaten track and has the vibe of a place where locals in the know go. This time there was an event on in the back room (a wake) which meant it was very crowded and a bit louder than usual. So it was not what we expected, having visited many times before. But it did make me think that if I had to choose a venue for a wake then this would be on my list. Overall an excellent dining experience - I just hope it doesnt get too well known or we wont be able to get a table!

   There was an admin error with our NYE booking but the staff were very helpful in sorting it. Very tasty food but my venison pie had about four cubes of meat in it which wasn't good value. Lovely decor and ambience.

   Feel sorry for the waiters and kitchen. Totally understaffed and too many covers to handle. We were sat an hour after our booking time, and waited an hour for our food to come out which arrived wrong and at different times. I got my main two hours after ordering Food was really salty, mismatched, and tasted microwaved. It was like an episode from Fawlty Towers so at least it was an entertaining experience… I heard there are new owners and they should be reviewing their strategy here if they want to keep running!

    Food was decent, but it took ages for the food to arrive. Then it was wrong. The service was poor - not anywhere plan on returning to anytime soon

    Thank you for your feedback! I'm pleased to know that you found the food satisfactory. However, I apologise for the delay in getting your order. It can be frustrating when the service does not meet expectations. I hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future.
