We had a great evening at the marquise of Westminster. The service was attentive and polite. The food was excellent, the ripeye steak was slightly overcooked but did not affect the quality of the dish. The goat cheese lasagne was spot on. It was a great dinner for our last evening in London

🚇 Victoria 🍺 £7.45 Hawkstone 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. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 08.03.24

Great food! Had a ribeye steak and it was delicious. Staff was accommodating and took us in even without reservation. Reasonably priced. Located a few minutes walk from Victoria train station. A great dining experience.

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. Our hostess Yula was fantastic, really attentive and friendly. I'll definitely be back.

The pub handled our Christmas party of about 30 with ease - the food was tasty, service was smooth and unobtrusive (no yelling names), and drink options extensive. We mostly used the first floor which has its own bar, the tables were festively decorated. The road below wasn’t distracting and the food beautifully plated. It’s rare to say venison in a pub was good! Afterwards the pub downstairs was -on a Tuesday night- really vibrant and full. Many of our team stayed on for drinks and were really enjoying themselves. I’d certainly return for a casual night.
