   I really can't fault my first visit to the Marlborough Tavern. I was treating friends to supper so wanted it to be good. It was fantastic. The service was friendly and efficient, the food outstanding and I was pretty happy with the final bill - two courses, a couple of glasses of wine and a cheeky brandy all for about £110. It is also dog-friendly so Flake was able to curl up under the table and enjoy the ambience.

   Disappointing. Expensive reheated food. Limited menu and beer choices. I will think twice before booking a table at The Marlborough Tavern again.

   Beautiful Sunday lunch as always. Service was lovely. Was a special occasion with my neighbours and friends - so great time to be altogether. Pub was very busy when we arrived and table wasn’t ready but we got drinks and sat in garden until ready. Always a lovely time at the Marlborough Tavern.

   Early Saturday dinner after a long walk, we both had steak and ale pie. Only ok , more of meat casserole with pastry top, guess it depends on your definition of a pie. Pastry top welded to pie dish as chef had not lined rim with pastry before putting lid on. Certainly not the best meal we've eaten here. We just choose the wrong dish on this occasion .

   We booked this for my daughter's 21st birthday lunch and it was amazing. The staff couldn't do enough for us and the food was outstanding! They even helped us out with a dog bowl so we could feed our doggo.

   Delicious food, good service, nice atmosphere (until around 10.30pm when the whole place emptied!). Have been before and will definitely go again.

   We went to The Marlborough Tavern for Sunday lunch and they did not disappoint. Food was first class, great portion sizes and elegantly presented. We all had a Sunday roast, beef and pork belly, it was truly delicious! The pub is also fur friendly and they provided a water bowl for our doggy. We had a table by the fire, it was perfect with lots of space and not too near the main door or the lavatory. The decor is simple and elegant in a traditional design. Will definitely visit again, good value for money with the excellent quality of food produce.

    A while since we’ve been to The Marlborough Tavern. No particular reason hasten to add. Lovely Valentines Day menu. Enjoyed what we ordered although both meals could have been served hotter(as in heat not spice). Not too noisy although personally not a lover of dogs in restaurants. Will be back.
