Marquis Of Granby — Restaurant in St Albans

Being new to the area we have tried a few local pubs, the Marquis is an a traditional pub in a lovely setting, the prices are what you would expect to pay in most pubs in and around Harpenden. We have tried the tapas which was great quality and also the Sunday roast which was even better than expected. They do fresh pizzas which we are yet to try but they look and smell great! The food is definitely a big selling point in visiting this pub! The staff are welcoming and chatty and make the effort to remember you and your order which adds to the local business feel. If you are going to eat, I would recommend calling to book and checking what food is available on what days and times as this can differ day to day. Overall a 5 star pub which I would definitely...

We must have caught it on a bad day as so many of these reviews are really good. Stopping off for a Saturday lunch we were given a paper menu with very little choice.

This pub is… everything! The Marquis of Granby is hands down the warmest, most welcoming pub in Harpenden. My husband and I (and our friends) come here all the time—it’s our favourite spot! The owners are the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet, and the bar staff are just brilliant (Will, Theo, etc.—they always remember our order, which we love!). The food is always top quality, and the wine selection is honestly next-level for a pub. We have the best time every single visit (and we come loads, hehe).

Highly, highly...
