The Marquis Cornwallis is a lively pub at 31 Marchmont Street in Bloomsbury. Its central position close to Russell Square makes it useful for a casual lunch, drinks after work, a family meal or an evening gathering, with food served throughout the day.
Snacks and small plates range from fried chicken with chilli honey and beef shin croquettes to halloumi fries, tomato arancini and calamari. Nachos, baked sourdough and Camembert with charcuterie make the menu easy to share over drinks.
Main dishes combine classics such as beer battered haddock and chips, Cumberland sausage with mash, steak and pale ale pie and a smoked bacon cheeseburger with contemporary choices including miso glazed salmon and Devon crab linguine. Vegan burgers, plant based sausages and seasonal salads provide substantial meat free alternatives.
Beer, wine and cocktails accompany the food, while Sunday adds a dedicated roast menu. An upstairs drawing room and bookable group packages broaden the pub's role beyond everyday dining, supporting parties and informal events in the heart of Bloomsbury.
