   We often look for pubs or restaurants that offer a traditional Sunday roast. The Marksman came on our radar because of its proximity to Columbia Road Flower Market where we sometimes go to buy flowers. The interior has the feel of a London pub (It was a pub originally) but less casual. Our server was excellent, very friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived. The food arrived promptly and was delicious. We went for the set menu, but shared a starter and a pud. The roast beef was perfect, the roast potatoes were fabulous, the Yorkshire pud was spot on, but there was a puree of indiscriminate origin which was too much and fairly tasteless. The starter was a tasty terrine but there was not enough toast. The pud was a rhubarb crumble bakewell tart, which was utterly scrumptious. Although it wasn't cheap it was very good and I would definitley go back to the Marksman.

   A splendid experience. The mussels was soft and in a well balanced sauce, mopped up with treacle bread. Chicken pie to share was fabulous. A good wine list. Efficient and friendly service. Perfect.

   We went on Wednesday for the curry special - absolutely delicious and great value! The upstairs area offers a really nice dining experience too - good energy but not too loud or chaotic

   Lovely gastro pub. The food and service were really good and their upstairs room combines well the traditional building with a modern flare, however everything was about £5 more expensive than what it should be. Mains cost anything between £23-£33 so it just felt too high for a gastro pub of its type.
