Marquis of Cornwallis, Bloomsbury

I agree with previous commenters. This has been my local for 1 1/2 years now and it has really gone to the dogs. It used to be a great pub although has always had problems with staff - there seems to be a high turnover and a lot of European staff who sometimes don't even know what a Pimms is! However the atmosphere used to be great and the food good.

Lately every time I've eaten there there has been some problem with the food - eg my friend had a beef roast being brought instead of lamb, chicken instead of halloumi, and being told half an hour after ordering that there was no nut roast. I did get a free meal out of them that time but when it arrived it was stone cold!

The most disappointing part is this used to be a good pub. So sad! 6/10 purely because the fish and chips are excellent.
