Review with Menu and Map
The Marquis of Granby in Fitzrovia's menu offers a mix of contemporary plates like burgers and salads, but remains true to pub tradition by offering fish n chips, bangers and mash and a variety of popular meat pies. The menu is limited to beef, lamb or chicken pies. Try something different like the Wild Boar & Chorizo Pie ... Definitely not your grandad's pie.

The Marquis of Granby on Rathbone Street, is straddled by London's Marylebone and Fitzrovia neighbhoods.
The locale was once the meeting place for a mix of literary high brows and gangsters. In the 1930s, Dylan Thomas, T. S. Eliot and others rubbed shoulders here with street girls and small-time gang bosses. The restaurant's namesake, The Marquis of Granby, lost his wig during a heroic cavalry charge at the Battle of Minden in 1759. The pub's sign, as is customary, depicts the Marquis sans-wig.

There's plenty of beer and ale to wash it all down in an ambiance that exceed most British pubs. Friendly and competent service won't disappoint.
Your won't find a better pub destination in this neck of the woods.
