The Wargrave Arms, Marylebone

Although I am loath to say anywhere is perfect, I am hard pushed to find fault with the newly refurbished Wargraves.

I have used this traditional one room, corner boozer sporadically over the years but it always suffered from inconsistencies and failed to hit the mark as highlighted in previous reviews.

Most recently though on a trip to London I used the pub 4 times in a week and it hit the mark each time. Firstly they have four hand pumps on the go and all of the ales I tried (Young�s bitter, Young�s special, Otter Bitter and Tribute) were all very well kept and available at all times during my stay.

Secondly the food has been ramped up considerably but thankfully not to that generic gastropub style with prices to boot. Instead they have a good selection of pub grub, fish & chips, bangers & mash, proper pies, bubble & squeak all freshly prepared in the open kitchen (with no microwave that I could see or hear) and most things under a tenner.

Definitely one of the best pubs in the area and well worth a try.
