Unforgettable Service & Delicious Eats Await

Nestled discreetly within the historic charm of Mayfair, The Market Tavern embodies that rare blend of quintessential London pub warmth with a touch of modern elegance. During my visit, I found it brimming with lively patrons yet maintaining an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. Known for its warm staff, Kamila and Annalisa stood out among others, offering service as rich as the carefully crafted ales on tap. In true English fashion, I savored a crisp fish and chips made with fresh haddock and heavenly scallops, leaving a genuine craving to explore more of their culinary indulgences.

A noteworthy mention isn’t just the food—classically British yet refreshingly inventive—but the vibrant energy exuded by the staff and ambience alike. The attentiveness of Kamila, reminiscent of a seasoned maître d', added layers of warmth and intimacy to the pub experience. Start with the Scotch eggs, savor a stunning goat cheese salad, and cap it off with a welcoming chat and meticulous care provided by the likes of Anna and Jacob. Even when pressed for time during the lunch rush, prompt service and generously hearty dishes make this nook a reliable refuge in the heart of one of London's poshest quarters. While there were whispers of an unwelcome aroma from occasional visitors, my own experience was a sniffless breeze through sublime service and savory taste. — Audrey Al Dente
