“Recently renovated, the pub now offers a small but excellent menu of quality food (have heard the chef came from Rick Stein restaurant). Sunday Roast is packed from about 12-9pm; try booking reservations at least a week in advance… This might be one of the last REAL pubs surviving in Shoreditch.”  Evening Standard reader review

Landlady’s Fancy 2010

Prepare to barter. Come along to The Marksman with your goods and services and try your hand at bartering. See if you can get a beer out of us.

Barter for Beer @ The Marksman Pub

7pm-9pm

We do have a guide list to help you begin your barter offer  - “The Landlady’s Fancy”. This list is dynamic, changing frequently as we receive barter offers of goods and/or services by email almost every day. Feel free to try bartering for a beer with things off the list, but please remember that this is not an “everybody wins type of game”, nor is it a direct exchange based on the stated £ value. We have been known to refuse offers. Barter relies on demand and perceived value on both parts, as well as trust. It is an experience that transcends money exchange as we know it. Above all, we think nice people are cool.
