About
The Marquis of Granby earns a place because it brings actual pub character. Its official site leans into centuries of history, British hospitality and memorable drinking and dining, which is exactly the sort of positioning that helps a best-of pubs list feel grounded in real local venues.\n\nIt is also a useful contrast to the slicker central options. Where some Epsom bars skew more modern or sports-led, this one feels more rooted in classic pub atmosphere.
