The Sir John Balcombe is a welcoming neighbourhood pub at 21 Balcombe Street in Marylebone, close to Marylebone station and Dorset Square. A pub has occupied this site in different forms since the nineteenth century, and today the venue combines that local history with comfortable modern interiors. Families, groups and dogs are welcome for lunch, dinner, drinks and live sport.
Small plates include halloumi shawarma, coconut king prawns, pork belly bites, beetroot falafel and other dishes designed to accompany a drink or begin a larger meal. Sharing choices such as loaded fries and a ploughman's platter work well for groups. The weekday lunch selection adds sandwiches, ciabattas, flatbreads and salads for a quicker visit.
Main courses focus on familiar pub comforts such as sausage and mash, golden fish and chips, stacked burgers and seasonal pies. Plant based dishes include falafel, a meat free burger and pasta options, giving vegetarian and vegan diners several routes through the menu. A dedicated children's selection makes the pub practical for family meals as well as social occasions.
Sticky toffee sponge, chocolate brownie and a changing crumble provide indulgent finishes. At the bar, cask ale, lager, cider, wine and spirits sit alongside signature cocktails and alcohol free serves. Private spaces and flexible food packages also allow The Sir John Balcombe to host birthdays, receptions and other gatherings in a relaxed Marylebone setting.
