The large open log fire adds to the warm and pleasant atmosphere. The Marchmont Arms bar stocks different beers on tap ranging from continental lagers to European speciality beers as well as trusted ales.

The Marchmont Arms's menu is contemporary with many tempting homely dishes available, and to set the right note of fashionable sociability there are sharing plates, antipasti of Italian meats, dolcelatte, marinated vegetables and warm stone-baked flatbreads, or Mediterranean mezze of hummus, roasted vegetables, fregola, tzatziki, feta, spinach and ricotta pâté with flatbreads.
Amongst the appetisers look for freshly made soup; smoked salmon, pomegranate molasses, fennel and micro herb salad, or gambas with rocket, garlic aioli and rustic bread. Look, too, for scallops of the day. The salads offer chargrilled chicken, courgette, fennel, apple, asparagus, hazelnut and balsamic dressing, and the seafood fiends find pleasure in some prawn and avocado with pecans, mango, bacon, orange and pomegranate vinaigrette.
These days no self-respecting gastropub can afford to be without its pizza range; expect to find a classic margherita of cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, pomodoro and basil, rustica with roasted Mediterranean vegetables, goats' cheese and cherry tomatoes or the piccante with pepperoni, chorizo, tomato and jalapeños.
Pastas include linguini with tiger prawns, crab, chorizo, chilli, tomato and white wine or tagliatelle with slow cooked Bolognaise and parmesan. For the big event there is roast rump of lamb with sauce soubise, asparagus, pancetta, button onions and baby potatoes. Battered haddock with frites, tartare sauce and minted mushy peas is popular, a sign of the times and improving taste in eating. The salmon with crab and chorizo fishcakes, roasted sweet corn and cherry tomato salsa is worth trying too. For hearty eaters there are rib-eye and fillet steaks or spit chicken with lemon, garlic, thyme and frites.
A wide range of supporting dishes includes green salad, and cabbage, leeks and peas. For desserts choose between an apple, blackcurrant crumble and vanilla custard and, sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. The selection of cheeses is likely to set the buffs alight.
