The Marquis of Granby is Epsom's go-to traditional pub that's recently had a major facelift, including a new outside bar with heaters for year-round use. Locals flock here for their legendary Sunday roasts by the open fire, but don't sleep on the steak and ale pie or the new cocktail menu that pairs perfectly with their craft beer selection. It's the kind of place where you can bring the dog, grab a pint on the terrace in summer, or curl up by the fire in winter—authentic British pub vibes without the pretension.
A Traditional Epsom Pub with Modern Touches
The Marquis of Granby has been a staple on West Street for centuries, and after a recent four-week refurbishment, it's clearer than ever why locals keep coming back. The pub maintains its authentic character with traditional wood panelling, exposed beams, and period features, but now boasts a shiny new outside bar complete with awnings and heaters—so you can enjoy al-fresco drinks year-round.
The food menu hits all the right notes for a proper British pub. The Sunday roast is the main event, served with all the trimmings and best enjoyed by the crackling open fires. But there's plenty to love on other days too: the steak and ale pie is hearty and well-executed, the fish and chips are solid pub classics, and the prime steak burgers have developed a following. The drinks selection has expanded beyond the usual suspects to include craft beers, ciders, and a new cocktail menu that's surprisingly good for a traditional pub.
What really sets The Marquis apart is its genuine local feel. It's dog-friendly with spacious beer gardens at the front and back, making it perfect for a casual afternoon out. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the recent investment has created jobs while improving the experience. It's not trying to be something it's not—just a solid, welcoming pub that does the basics really well.
