I held a birthday party here and it was fantastic. The staff were execptional - from start to end. Noththing too much trouble, responded to any query in a very timely manner, and just made the whole experience stress-free. I was able to decorate the Drawing Room with bunting and balloons and staff were so accomodating. The venue is great, a traditional London-pub in a fantastic location. The food was amazing and the cost of the hire / minimum spend was very reasonable for central London - it was just perfect for what we wanted. Could not recommend highly enough.

We had a fantastic evening in the Drawing Room! It was a 40th work anniversary and we couldn't have been better looked after. Everything was great from the room, to the food. And as it was one of the hottest days of the year, the aircon was great! Thanks to all the team at the Marquis Cornwallis. We will definitely be back!
