The fish and chips was lovely, haddock was buttery and delightful! Wife had the chicken and leek pie which was also to die for. Excellent pub fare and excellent service!
Comfortable old English pub with interesting wooden spiral staircase up to dining room. Attentive and polite staff. Great food nicely presented. Feels up market with prices slightly elevated from the norm but worth it for the overall experience. Recommended.
Coming from the U.S. we decided to try some food here. Just a short walk from our hotel. The chicken and leek pie was absolutely delicious along with the open ravioli dish. The espresso martinis were fantastic and to add the service was top notch. Our waiter was super nice. Enough so, that we returned the next night for a few drinks. We will be back!

The Marquis of Westminster is located on the corner of Warwick Way and busy Belgrave Road in Pimlico. The nearest Tube is Victoria, it’s a five minute walk to get here.
This pub was established in 1839 and historically was tied to the nearby Watney’s Brewery. There are still three Watney’s lanterns adorning the exterior today.
The pub is named after The Marquis of Westminster who was ironically teetotal, a supporter of the temperance movement, and instrumental in closing 40 beer houses in his constituency of Mayfair.
This Gastropub is set out over three floors. The main bar is on the ground floor, just off the main bar is a spiral staircase which leads up to an elegant dining room and down to the Cellar Bar. The main bar has a bare boarded floor, some mixed height furniture and an “L” shaped servery which follows the line of the bar. The overall decor has a rustic traditional feel.
The beer offering is a selection of mainstream stalwarts which included three cask ales. I noticed they had @hawkstone lager available, so I opted for a pint of that. My pint was great, I really enjoyed it but cost a whopping £7.45!!. The food menu is elevated pub classics, Fish & Chips costs £18.50, roasts are available on a Sunday.
I arrived around 5pm on a chilly Friday afternoon in March. The pub was busy and had a nice buzz about it. The punters were a mix of post work pinters plus a few tourists taking time out. The service was on point, the lady who served me was welcoming and courteous.
Although this is a Gastro, this pub has proper pub credentials. The main bar area is set up well for those who are here for the beer. The surroundings are pleasant, the beer selection was decent but pricey and the service was on point. The @marquiswestminsterpimlico is worth a look if you’re in the area.

I took my Kiwi family in for a proper Sunday Roast and this meal exceeded our expectations. Both the pork belly and beef rump were cooked beautifully. The sides were great, and the sticky toffee pudding a standout. Or hostess Yula was fantastic, really attentive and friendly. I'd definitely be back.
The restaurant upstairs offers a super nice atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and the Sunday Roast was super good and plenty.
We had a full day in Greenwich and stumbled upon this restaurant after a boat back to Westminster. We were starving, worn out, and did not think to book a reservation anywhere. We were greeted by friendly waitstaff who let us take a no-show no call reservation. The menu was a little pricier than what I would normally go for. I had a traditional English roast and boyfriend had a bacon burger. The atmosphere was quiet and inviting and the food was amazing. Would definitely come again, next time with a reservation!
