There is no pool table anymore, but they have a bar billiards table.

Just spent a fairly pleasant evening in here with 7 mates. Ordered food (bar snacks and burgers). All were pretty good - burgers were excellent, and arrived pretty quickly. Good selection of beers, including a real ale, "Sussex" and Kronenbourg Blanc (for those that like it). Also, they have an intriguing Jaegermeister cooling machine.

The Marquis of Granby, Fitzrovia
We were immensely disappointed with the speed of the service � we arrived at 12:15pm and ordered straight away. One meal (we were a party of 10) arrived after about 25 minutes, but the burger bun was stale. I complained to the barstaff, and they arranged a replacement, which arrived about 10 minutes later.
The majority of the rest of the party had to wait until 50 minutes after ordering before their food arrived, with the exception of one poor guy who didn�t receive his food until 13:20pm, a full hour and ten minutes after ordering!
As a local company of over 100 employees, we frequent many of the pubs and restaurants around the Fitzrovia area, and previously, the Marquis burger was somewhat of an institution. However, we have noticed standards dropping over the last month or so, and this lunchtime�s poor performance has unfortunately had the effect of deterring any of us from visiting there again, at least in the near future. An email was sent round the company informing them of our bad experience, and suggesting that they avoid the Marquis of Granby in the future.
We were told that the reason the service was so slow was that the Chef was currently away on holiday, although we strongly feel that if suitable alternative arrangements hadn�t been made (and they most clearly hadn�t), then we should have been informed of this at the time of ordering.

Sadly, the pool room (which did have 3 tables) is no more, but has been replaced with a restaurant. Also, as far as I'm aware the late licence is until 2am on Fri and Sat. The piano bar is open until 1am.
