Marmion Tavern

Don’t set foot in here. Went to go here at about 10.30pm on a Saturday night a few months ago to catch last orders. Was with a few mates who were visiting and was trying to take them to what I thought would be pleasant bars. Walked thru the door and noticed a group people sat at a table. Then an old drunken slapper from the group screamed ‘f*** off’ at us for no apparent reason. The barman came over and was apologetic. He explained they had closed early for a staff party and then told me the drunken foul mouthed woman was in fact the land lady!
Avoid this place. I would rather drink down guildhall! Lol

Good choice of ales and the food seemed good though I didn’t taste any of it as I was too busy looking through the book collection. Nice feel to the place.

Went to he Marmion having heard some good reviews just after the launch if the new menus — had a good experience. The food was freshly cooked, and the place clean and tidy. I have seen the previous review and can’t work out where the reviewed is coming from — whilst not the busiest or cheapest pub, the décor was more than adequate and it was clean and tidy!
I’m a real ale man and the selection of real ales was very good — well done to the staff.

Absolutely terrible pub! They closed and reopened recently for a refit and a group of friends and me thought we’d go there for a meal. We walked into a tiny pub that was half busy and walked over to a table to sit down, at this point a barmaid said rather loudly ‘and where do they think there going’ as if it was strange to sit at a table. Another women approached us and said we are very busy (which they weren’t) but if we could find a table we could sit down. The place was mainly being used by a group of foreign teenagers to eat at several tables. We sat at a table which had someones bicycle parked next to it under the food serving hatch. At this point we all looked at each other and decided we’d rather walk out now before we wasted any money. A real shame as we’d heard good things but clearly since the ‘refit’ the place has lost any semblance of friendliness or hospitality. Plus for somewhere thats supposed to of been refitted it looked really shabby, dirty, and badly laid out. Dont waste your money!

I heard that the marmion tavern has an extensive cheese menu, so decided to take my daughter for lunch there. If you like cheese it’s well worth a visit! n They have an amazing selection, while it’s not cheap I do think it’s good value for money. I also found out from the bar man that they have rather a nice selection of Vodka too! but for lunch time there are plenty of lighter potions too! this pub is a nice little surprise.
