About The Marquis Cornwallis
The Marquis Cornwallis is a pub on Marchmont St in London, with large windows and an ornately tiled floor around the bar. Table service runs across the room, with servers taking drink and food orders separately, and an upstairs seating area sits apart from the main floor. The menu spans brunch and bar options, including a Scotch Egg and Nachos among twenty dishes. Sunday nights bring a roast dinner, with a vegetarian version served alongside Yorkshire pudding, and groups have been seated together in parties of seven or eight for it. The pub opens daily and welcomes dogs.

“Arrived as a group on Sunday night. Warmly greeted by Gina who found us a table and warmly welcomed us. Jack was our server, great chap. Took great care of us. Nice cold ale and fantastic Sunday toast dinner. So well looked after and great dinner.”

“We wanted to try a Scotch egg, so we decided to come here. The Scotch egg was delicious, and we also really enjoyed the Padrón peppers! The service was amazing as well. Pinar was very kind and friendly, and she made our experience even better. Highly recommended!”

“Dropped in on a Sunday night, Gina got us a last minute table for 7 and had a fantastic meal. Ordered the vegetarian roast dinner with Yorkshire pudding and it was delicious. Jack was our waiter who kept us all hydrated and brought all the meals in a timely fashion. Jack also took a group picture which is maybe the best photo of our whole vacation. Our last night was made special by the dedication of the staff. AC was on high and we really enjoyed that too. Well earned 5 stars.”

“Excellent food but terribly slow service. We were a table of 8 and everything took an age, from getting drinks, food even the bill. The staff walk round looking at the floor so getting anyone's attention is a real effort, we had to resort to walking up to them and asking for things. The food was delicious, we all tried different meals and all cleared our plates. It's just a shame the service was so poor, especially after the original woman serving us finished her shift.”

Customer Review Summary
The Sunday roast draws repeated praise, with reviewers singling out the vegetarian roast dinner with Yorkshire pudding and a Sunday toast dinner as standouts. Close behind, the Scotch egg is named alongside the Padrón peppers, and other diners highlight the steak pie, fries haddock, and nachos with brisket, sausage and mash. Several call out the King Prawn and Devon Crab Linguine with tiramisu for dessert. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, with one host credited for securing last-minute tables for groups and a server praised for helping guests choose a beer. The main recurring complaint is pacing: a table of eight reports that drinks, food, and the bill all took an age, with staff hard to flag down. Another visit notes service was just OK when the place was slammed and seating was tucked in a back corner. Reviewers describe the upstairs wallpaper and cozy, tiled interior as part of the draw, with some having returned to eat there twice in the same week.
