The Marlborough Suite

The pizza was excellent and crisp, and the staff were friendly. There isn’t much seating in the pub, and service was slow, with a 40-minute wait for the pizza to cook. The 15% service charge feels very steep for a self-service pub. Toilets are limited, and they don’t flush properly.

The Marlborough has a lot of character and a great location, so it’s easy to see its appeal. When we stopped by, though, the place was packed and really noisy. At times we had to raise our voices just to talk. Service was decent given how busy it was, and the lively atmosphere could be just what you want. If you’d rather have a relaxed, intimate drink, peak times may not suit. A good spot for a drink if you’re ready for crowds and noise.

A pint and a pizza here are definitely worth it. Crisp has breathed new life into The Marlborough, the well-known traditional English pub, with its crisp pizza. It’s the kind of smart collaboration that brings different crowds together, like Swifties and the NFL or Gucci and Adidas. North Audley street has grown into a major food hub.

A great Mayfair place for weekend pints and a catch-up with friends. The interior looks fantastic and is clearly well kept, and the atmosphere is really nice. The staff were welcoming and lovely, especially Mike, Aditya Shah, and Troy, who all gave great service. There’s a restaurant downstairs too, which is a nice extra. I’d happily come back.
