London local The Marksman named Michelin's pub of the year 2017
Michelin has named The Marksman in Bethnal Green the pub of the year for 2017 -- the first time the red guide has given the honor to a London pub.
Selected from more than 500 establishments, The Marksman was chosen for offering straightforward, well executed British fare like deviled mussels on toast, skate with shrimps and turnip tops and pheasant and trotter pie in a cozy atmosphere featuring a wood-paneled bar and modern dining room upstairs.
"The Marksman cleverly combines a place to drink with new era pub food. One of the things we love about it is that it's a proper neighbourhood pub first and foremost, with a cosy, traditional bar in which to enjoy a pint of local ale or a bottle of craft beer," said editor Rebecca Burr.
The Marksman is featured in the new Michelin guide Eating Out In Pubs 2017, which retails for £14.99 (€15.99).
