The Marcia — Restaurant in Great Britain

I went to the races for the Ebor meeting and as my pub of choice was closed I tried The Marcia.

Over the three days I tried a chicken fillet sandwich on toasted sour dough bread, fish & chips and the meat pie.

All three meals were really good. They were good sized portions and well cooked with nice touches like real chips and skinned haddock. I particularly liked that the gravy came in it's own jug. I really dislike a meal swimming in gravy and much prefer to add my own. Prices were fair.

Each of them was accompanied by a pint of Leeds Pale, one of two guest beers. It was a nice drink although at £4 per pint it is getting a tad expensive for me. I am a tight Yorkshireman though!

The place itself is clean and well kept offering a three sizeable interior rooms and outside seating to the front and back.

The staff were all excellent, friendly, helpful and efficient without being fussy.

Would I dine and / or drink at The Marcia again. Of course I would, why the heck not!

Edit. Google asked me if anything has changed, well no it hasn't everything remains excellent here....

I went here on bank holiday Monday and just grabbed a table for a quick bite of lunch and was happy with the service and food however in our return last Sunday I grabbed babe table while my boyfriend ordered drinks, he ordered them and was asked if we were ordering food now, he said no as we hadn't even had chance to look at the menu, I asked for a menu to be told they were fully booked but as he had poured my boyfriend's pint we had to pay for it. I myself work in a pub and thought the barman was rather rude and got no apology for the confusion, we only had one hour spare and needed to eat so we left the pint we had to pay for and went over the rd to the woodman were they squeezed us in for Sunday lunch and were very obliging. Great shame because I loved the beer garden and food in bank holiday Monday, they have lost what would have been regular customers for the cost of a pint and...

Booked on the day for Sunday lunch, they accommodated us. When we arrived there was a couple of big tables already seated. Food took a little while but not overly long, lovely staff. They offer smaller portions here which is always a big bonus for me. I had the pork Sunday dinner, my partner asked for mixed meat, which wasn’t on the menu but again they accommodated for this, he had a mix of lamb, beef, pork. The food itself was a 10/10 our empty plates being evidence. As I had a smaller portion this meant I had room for desert! They offer local Yorvale ice cream, which is delicious, I opted for the trio of cherry, vanilla and chocolate orange, my only gripe was that it was served in a Sunday glass, it would of been nicer in a bowl especially for taste as they ended up all mixed together which spoilt it. Will be going back...
