As one of the pubs local to my office the Gunmakers sees me fairly frequently. It is always crowded on a Thursday or Friday night, which says more than I can about the quality of the place. I prefer it in summer when you can spill out onto the road and annoy the Über drivers trying to take a shortcut back to Marylebone high street. The pub itself is a traditional style boozer, with a pub cat(which hates everyone and likes to make you open the door for it in the Winter) and TVs for the sport. If you want to have a drink and watch the sport whilst standing then this is the pub for you. If however you would like to sit down and watch the sport, or even have a chat, it is unlikely you will be able to get a seat. The burgers are to die for. If you can get even a corner of a table where you can rest a plate I recommend them!

We stopped into this pub after shopping at the farmers market across the street. I really enjoyed all the patrons greeting each other by their first names. Clearly this is a regular pub for the old timers. There were several large televisions covering either cricket or an F1 race. The staff were friendly and attentive. Enjoyed a Dark Star Hylde Blonde. Did not try the food, but the menu looked good.

I first spotted this pub on a Sunday morning while shopping in the farmers market in the nearby parking lot/square. It looked formidable then(a couple of cannons out front), but I didn’t go in. So when I happened to be walking by on a Friday evening, my arm didn’t need twisting in order to explore. At night there are a couple of roaring fires displays out front. Once you step in, there’s a large room full of people sitting at tables, chatting and watching games on TV. The feeling is very wide-open and spacious. Halfway back is a bar packed with customers and in the far back is another nook that perfectly seats a group of about 15. I didn’t eat, but there seems to be a separate dining area(upstairs?). But I did have a drink and the staff were friendly, fast and the prices weren’t bad. The décor is pub-like kitchy but also better curated. They seemed to be a lot of portraits of Churchill, whereby in one he’s drinking at the bar here. There are also displays of armements in keeping with the gunmaker theme. Having just come from an awkward social event at a tiny, compartmentalized pub — the open layout here was refreshing. It still gets tight but you don’t feel like a sardine. Overall, I’d be happy to come back for drinks. And I’m going to head back and try the food.

Me gusta este pub. Todos los años visito Londres y voy a allí. El rostbeef de los domingos es muy bueno. Pronto estaré otra vez por ahí.

Went here for a friend’s birthday — nice pub, a bit secluded, but what I was most impressed with was the food. Probably the best burger I’ve had in England so far. Get everything on it, and I mean everything — fried egg, bacon, mature English cheddar, onion rings — you won’t be disappointed!

This is a nice pub with nice people. .both the staff and the patrons. I spent a good three to four hours sitting and drinking in a group and I hardly noticed the time go by. Its a good place to watch the rugby especially — the atmosphere is very civil.

Best Sunday roast I had in London. The meat is delicious, the cook gets it from the Ginger Pig Butcher, just a sec away from the pub. I also tried the seafood salad, that was amazing! A bit pricey compared to other pubs but better quality, plus the area is quiet which is nice.

Very nice place. The deco is not fashionable(hunting guns and ammunition) but it’s well done and crisp, so nothing to be upset against if you don’t boycott firearms. Beers: decent choice, standard price. No cocktails. Pimm’s in summer. Food: traditional, a little expensive but healthy portions. The great thing is that Aybrook street is quiet, very little traffic. On the other side of the road from the pub, there is a car park, i.e. an open space. What I’m saying is that this pub has one of the largest terrace in Marylebone! You just walk out with your pint, stay on the pavement, or across the street. No crowd, no cars, no complaints. Wonderful on warm evenings. Also the patrons are less cosmopolitan than elsewhere in this neighborhood: a few builders, regular guys, a few kids sometimes. It’s not pretentious or showoff at all and I like that!

Seeking a quiet afternoon drink this place was a good find. It has a pleasant old-fashioned atmosphere with all the usual dark wood, prints and decorations. The normal youngsters serving with a touch of friendliness and a small smile. Mixture of locals and businessmen. Real ale drinkers will welcome Old Speckled Hen(at only 3 quid), Bombardier, Spitfire and Greene King. Menu looked good, but I didn’t look at prices, as I had no plan to eat.

I didn’t come here for the footy, but instead the rugby. As already mentioned, it’s pretty small so can get cramed when a game is on, don’t expect to see anything even on the big screen if you’re sitting down as you’re bound to have someone in front of you. Drinks aren’t the cheapest and neither is the food. But it’s nice, cosy and friendly. Has a huge rifle casing display and a picture of Churchill drinking in the pub sitting at the bar. Unfortunately, Churchill never drank here and the picture is super imposed! There is also a crazy yapping dog in there which I’ve never seen, but can be clearly heard when visitng the loo. Strange!

I came here once to watch the footie. They had a couple of big screens, and it was even possible to watch it from the terrace somehow, which was cool since the place was swarming. they have loads of chairs but no sofas as far as i remeber. they also have benchs in the outside which is nice if any sun has showed up. i drank one hoegarden and was pretty shocked when found out my change for a 5£ was 20p. Was that all about? 4,80 for a beer. I know it is a fancy one but that is over the roof. Good and efficient staff, good range of beers, clean toliets, just don’t ask for a Hoegarden.
