Whether you loved or hated the old Marquis of Westminster, with its Artex walls and gruff locals, its gone: gone the way befitting such an address, we suppose, by becoming rather more upmarket. Its actually pretty good if truth be told - friendly staff (including a bit of table service) a reasonable bar menu and a couple of ales. There're a few original features still dotted about (although we couldn't tell if they're original to this location) and a choice of music (Stones, The Who, Joplin, Led Zep) which made us stay a little longer than we had planned for. As one would expect, its filled with office workers after 5pm, but its just far enough away from Victoria to not become a nightmare. A solid three pinter.

Eating at TheMarquis of Westminster ... we last ate here on 27/03/2007

Fish finger sandwich and fries was a reasonable at under a fiver. The fries were excellent but the fish fingers were rather reminiscent of the ones found in budget supermarkets.

One London boozer bucking the trend of falling trade is the Marquis of Westminster, a gastro pub that doubles as a "local" with its own loyal following and passing trade from neighbouring three star hotels. Experienced bar staff provide snappy table service and friendly banter. Blackboard menu changes monthly but offers excellent value: confit duck with butter bean puree and fig jus(£12.95),and old favourites: fish & chips (£10.95) 10oz Rib eye steak and fries(£14.95). Well stocked bar has Timothy Taylor Landlord, Sharp's Doombar & London Pride, and guest beers, with a long wine list to suit all pockets. Contemporary music suits eclectic tastes and foot tapping tunes get louder as the evening draws on, making the pub one of the livelier venues in Pimlico.

Aviod like the plague - rip off merchants

Forget this place. Never have I been in a pub where the bar staff have bossed groups of patrons. I had the pleasure of witnessing them relocate patrons to one corner of the pub leaving 80% of the tables and floor space empty under the watchful eye of the warders behind the bar. Am I allowed to sip my beer? Who do these people think they are?
