The 14 Best Restaurants For British Food In London - London - The Infatuation

"Is the Marksman a real pub? It’s hard to say. You’re more likely to find a celeriac crisp than a salt and vinegar one here. Whatever this spot on Hackney Road is defined as, it’s a fine place to eat. Enormous pies to share, crispy skin duck breast, brown butter tarts. This is classic British grub approached with a bit of flair. Best of all is that the Marksman can be used in a few different ways. Be it at the downstairs bar alongside a pint and a curried lamb bun, upstairs in the dining room, or out on the little terrace when it’s spritz o’clock." - jake missing
