This is an absolute must if you enjoy utterly gorgeous food. We were a table of 4 girlfriends and tried almost everything on the menu. In fact we did try all the desserts! The pub is small and cosy and the food is divine. Mussels to die for..... I can still taste them now, 2 days later. The service we had was outstanding too. A little gem in Marlow. The only very tiny downside is that you have to book at 8am if you want a table that day. Definitely worth setting an alarm for though.

Absolutely amazing Sunday lunch. Went online at 9am and booked a table for 2.30 (which was ready early!). Food was delicious as ever - Caesar salad, onion and cider soup, rotisserie beef and loin of pork with the hispi cabbage and roast potatoes. Topped off with banana custard and the best espresso…perfect 👍🏻

Excellent lunch. Popped in on impulse and got a Noon reservation. Place was full by 12.15. I had the set lunch: Leek and Potato Soup was Amazing! The Beef Shin 'pie' was very rich and deep, great quality. Wife had a la carte Onion and Cider soup (with cheese scone and Ham Hock Butter) which was also like velvet -'beautiful' and then the Goats Cheese salad -'amazing'. Coming from London it was so nice to be in a quality place where people wore smart casual clothes. (A DRESS CODE question: My Son tells me that Central London Set Lunches are now more relaxed and not everyone wears Suits. Comment please!

Let's get one thing clear from the start... The food here is utterly devine. The onion and cider soup is to die for, and I could probably eat the cheese scones that come with it every day for the rest of my life and still not have had enough. Simply gorgeous. The chargrilled cabbage is amazing... But the beef shin 'cottage pie' makes everything seem pedestrian - I could still taste it when I got home. The depth of flavour is just extraordinary. Possibly one of the nicest things I have ever had. Don't worry about the 'small plates' being too little. I had three and didn't need a pudding. Love the fact that service charge is included. You can get really caught out sometimes when they expect you to pay a premium, when you haven't had a premium meal. My only minor problem is the booking process. You can only book on the day for that day. The online facility wasn't working, and I was held on the phone for far too long having called at exactly 9am. The restaurant wasn't even half full, but I suppose it was a wet Thursday evening. The service was excellent. All of the staff were friendly and chatty, and both the food and drink appeared just when we wanted it. £142 for a memorable dinner for two may seem expensive, but it feels like dinner in a nice pub with a bottle of wine always costs around £50-£60 a head... And you just don't get the same exceptional quality as we had the other night. Will definitely visit again.

One of our absolute favourite eateries. We ordered 5 dishes between us, which was perfect, the mushroom risotto is to die for! All of the dishes were delicious. We chose the treacle tart for desert which was yummy! Can’t fault anything! The staff were also super friendly, Can’t wait for our next visit!

Dinner was a Mother's day present for my wife. We had a select of 8 dishes which we shared and all which were of the highest standard. This was fine dining indeed and the waiting staff were so attentive and friendly. I cannot recommend this highly enough and whilst at the top end of cost it was certainly good value and a thoroughly pleasing experience.

What a disappointment. Whilst admittedly only having the set lunch menu, which at £22 for three courses, was seemingly a good prospect for a Kerridge, one Michelin star establishment, other than the 'onion and cider soup', which was very tasty, the main course 'The Coach fish pot pie' was pretty devoid of fish (seemingly substituted by peas), and lacked substance and flavour, with dessert, banoffee pie, making up a little for the main. To earn and retain a Michelin rating, in my view you need consistency of quality across your full menu range, be it the less expensive set lunch menu or the a la carte offerings, which was not the case at The Coach. Frankly, I have eaten at several one Michelin star establishments and the quality of the dishes offered and overall experience varies so very much, that I do question Michelin's criteria for and consistency in awarding the coveted star. If you want to sample what I think is one of the best, then head into London and the dining room at The Ritz, which sets the one Michelin star bar at the right level in my view.

We ate here as part of a Hand and Flowers deal. It has 1 star and the food and service probably just about deserves that (although Kerridges in London is better for both but has no stars!). We were able to select any 8 dishes to share, and they come ‘as and when they are ready’. We chose 6 savoury and a side plus cheese as dessert. The first 5 dishes were great - although some were hard to share (soup and a burger), but by the time 6 and 7 arrived we couldn’t eat any more. The staff are friendly and we did not feel rushed (the football was on, so we took our time over cheese and stayed to the end of the first half, even though our table was only until 8:15).

Absolutely loved the idea of ordering smaller dishes, my husband and I chose eight in total of meat and non meat dishes,(as we don't really do dessets). The food was outstanding especially the mushroom risotto which tasted of mushrooms and very moorish. We did wonder if their would be enough food but we needn't of worried as we were quite full by the end of the meal. Staff very friendly and definitely worth a visit.

Appalling booking system and extremely unsympathetic telephone booking staff. I followed instructions to the lettter and got nowhere from 07.50 onwards using on line and telephone reservations conflicts. Pathetic customer relations. If you are wanting to go out for family Sunday lunch you really don’t want to wait until the same morning before you can book as if you are unsuccessful all the other decent options elsewhere are fully booked. Rethink your business model!

Popped in for a quick lunch, as a walk in. The food was excellent, the chips - as advised by our host - really are the best you can get. The service was particularly delightful. We then accidentally left an item on our table, and our host rushed down the road to deliver it to us. Thanks again, and look forward to returning.

We have wanted to try The Coach ever since we ate at the Hand & Flowers in 2021. We found the booking system slightly confusing, but got there in the end. We managed to get seated at the bar for an 18:15 booking with a good view of the kitchen which was very interesting. We received a warm greeting and the young lad behind the bar explained how everything worked. Small plates, came when they were ready etc. We had cocktails to start followed by a very nice bottle of Rioja. We chose the cod, hispi cabbage, pork, chips and duck liver parfait. For desert we had the choux bun and jam roly-poly. Each plate was delicious. We had expected to be on a time limit (not unusual) however we didn't leave until 21:15. All in all we had a fantastic night and would not hesitate to go back.

Firstly, if you dine at The Coach in the next few months you will notice at the bottom of the menu is a mention that Head Chef Sarah is running the London Marathon to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. If you can afford to eat at The Coach, please consider making a donation to Sarah. It's such a worthy cause. On to my review We were staying on the Gastronomic Getaway package of the Hand and Flowers which includes an eight plate dinner at The Coach. We arrived on a wet and windy night and were greeted by the very charming and helpful Ollie who showed us to our table and talked us through the menu and concept of the dinner. He let me try a wine before ordering another bottle which I had had before and prefered. We ordered three dishes off the starters, three off the main course and two puddings. The food was absolutely superb. The mushroom risotto (which contains no rice) was a tour de force. Lucy, a lovely lady is the manager and runs a very tight ship. She is very efficient and a real asset to The Coach. She told us about The Shed and gave us details of private dining. The Hand and Flowers need a Lucy on the breakfast shift (see my H&F review) After we had finished eating chef Sarah came to talk to us, thanked us for our donation and we told her what a fabulous night we had had. I actually prefered my meal at The Coach to the Hand and Flowers (my husband thinks otherwise) but we both agreed, both meals were two of the best meals we have had and both restaurants are fully deserving of their Michelin Starts. We will be back.

This restaurant is a huge disappointment. The sharing plates are small - £7.50 for 3 spears of Broccoli which we purchased to supplement the tiny portions. Each dish is expensive and they recommended 3 per person. One dish alone was £26. Although it tasted lovely we left hungry and disappointed. No more to be said really.

Decent enough venue and wait staff (although maths not a strong point as they overcharged us £50 (later refunded)). Food comes out “when it’s ready” which is frankly weird as we were a group of 4 people so didn’t end up eating together - there is a reason why traditional restaurants serve starters and then mains together…… Overpriced for quite good food (but nothing to write home about) - we won’t be going back.

Have eaten several times at The Coach and it has gradually got better albeit starting from a low-ish base. I have in truth enjoyed each visit to The Coach which is an improvement on its overpriced (slightly) bigger sister, The Hand & Flowers, just up the road. The menu and ordering is a bit tortuous as you cannot see everything on one page. The dishes are also rather hit and miss and you do end up over ordering because portions are tapas-sized albeit not quite tapas priced. But overall the fare is quite tasty and sufficiently original for a star - unlike H&F. The main negative for me is how cramped the place is and how it triggers mild claustrophobia until you are fully inserted into your seat. Think sardines. I do think they have perhaps greedily jammed in too many tables for the 500sq ft +/- of available space and need to rethink that a bit. The place seems busy enough to afford it. Overall I would score a “fair” rating.

We had this booking as part of an a Sunday offer at the Hand and Flowers, we found the tapas style menu quite weird to get our heads around, but once it was explained to us, we delved in. The meals come out well timed, and were amazing. With seemingly smallish portions we both left full, and happy. Staff were knowledgeable and very friendly, we would definitely visit again.

Went to The Coach for lunch and it was superb. We sat at the bar on stools that were comfy and had convenient bag hooks / coat hooks under the bar. The service was attentive and informative. We were able to watch the chefs at work which was great. The food itself was really very good. Our favourites were the fish scotch egg and the chicken Kiev, but they were all good. Would definitely recommend visiting.

A lot of places can be 'good’, occasionally. To be consistently good is much harder. The Coach at Marlow has delivered superb service and delicious food every time we have visited. The greeting is always friendly and courteous. Kristina looked after us this time, ensuring we had seen the special menu and that we were suitably refreshed before making our choices. We travel some distance to visit The Coach and have often decided on our choices before arriving….. never been disappointed in any way. Excellent in all areas. We will be back again and again.

With a Michelin Star, we expected not only fantastic food but fantastic service, and while the food we had was good, our view has been tainted by the overall experience and service we received. We felt a little unwelcome and we were rushed. We were sat on a very small squeezed table, right at the back round the corner. We had too many people serving us, interrupting us mid dish to take away plates or glasses, and interrupting eachother where we sensed some tension between the team. We were given 10 minutes notice to leave our table with quite a bit of drink left, they could have offered us a seat somewhere else to finish our drinks. We paid £200 and would have rather spent this money somewhere else for a better overall experience, we don’t think we will be back again.

Spent a very enjoyable evening in a relaxed atmosphere with excellent food, excellent wine and friendly staff. - what more can you want. Loved the little twists on some of the dishes such as Mushroom Risotto made without rice, Mussels (out of their shells) in a rich stout sauce. Also a decent selection of wines by the glass which is appreciated by those driving or wanting to try ta selection of wines. I was slightly surprised though by the 'small sharing plate' concept. To me at least most dishes seemed very definitely 'starters' or 'main courses' and no more designed for sharing than any other restaurant. That though doesn't distract from the venue and I'll definitely be back,

Staff are very friendly and helpful. This is a Tapas style menu, and advised to order about 6 dishes for 2 of us. We ordered 2 starters and 4 mains, and we saved room for 2 desserts.

My second visit to Marlow and coincidentally my second visit to The Coach. Having enjoyed lunch here a few years back with a friend of mine I decided that it was high on the list of Birthday treats for my partner. At The Coach you will find a selection of “small plate” dishes: fine British cuisine with a twist served in a tapas style and a fantastic list of wines to accompany- the Moroccan style quail was to die for! This Michelin star pub only opens its bookings diary in the day so you have to be quick to get in - aware of this I was on the ball as soon as bookings were available and managed to get a table at a time that suited. The atmosphere was incredible and the service friendly whilst not intrusive. The waitress who looked after us for the majority of the evening usually works breakfast so she needed some extra guidance however she was professional throughout. The price tag for this amazing experience was almost as palatable as the food and a generous tip for the staff was well earned. The Coach is a must visit when in Marlow - even worth going to Marlow just to visit The Coach.

One of the best meals of my life and standout amazing both the mushroom risotto and the mussels in stout foam. Throughout the meal we had brilliant service as well as perfect food. I have seen a blizzard of low revues and I can only think there is a concerted fleet of well paid bots denigrating a wonderful establishment. The attention to detail was fantastic and i was not disappointed by any element. Long may they continue and pay no attention to the negative revues.

We had lunch today on a whim. We were literally walking past and asked if there was a table which we took. We have eaten here before and I was dubious to return. I felt the menu needed changing. I have to admit I was pleased there were some new additions which we tried. We had the mussels which my wife loves. We also had the mushroom risotto which we liked from before. The Hispi cabbage was very tasty along with the rotisserie. But our absolute favourite was the beef shin cottage pie and the crispy pigs head. A great addition. As usual the atmosphere was relaxed. We were dressed casually and didn’t feel out of place. For us The Coach is an informal restaurant where you get great food!

The opportunity to visit this establishment has been a long time coming. It's a pleasure to report that the wait was well worth it! The staff are both charming and efficient and the food is excellent without being overpriced or pretentious. Unusually, I chose the burger: a tower of flavours and my guest and I shared a bowl of their signature chips. Hot, crispy whilst fluffy inside - just delicious although expensive. If I was to be extremely picky, the sun was shining so the large windows to the front of the building were wide open. West Street is extremely busy and the noise of constant heavy traffic was distracting and, at times, made conversation difficult. Well done to all at the Coach - a perfect lunch.

Visited on a busy Friday night 11th August, service was initially good albeit quite rushed ( trying to get through the covers I guess) was advised by the waitress to order 3 courses each, which we did. TBH I wasn't going to bother to write this review but after reading so many negative comments I thought I should back up some of the unhappy customers who have spent their hard earned cash and would have expected some dishes that matched the price tag. Have to say the rotisserie beef, two very small slices of beef, with a finger nail of cauliflower cheese priced at £32 was beyond ridiculous, very chewy. I left half (one whole 1mm slice) £16 worth, complained and had no response or apology. TBF a couple of the dishes were tasty but overall a poor experience, super expensive, guests are crushed into small corners to eat, staff wont leave you alone and just wanted to get you out the door... works for me wont be going back, you simply can't brag a Michelin star when churning out food of this standard.

Not a brilliant experience, we found it expensive for what it was really, place wasnt so busy so staff need to be more attentive for drinks. However the food was nice and with a bit of tweaking I am sure could be really good.

Once shown to our table it was obvious the place wasn’t cleaned properly. My feet were sticking to tenge floor, the table wasn’t clean and neither were the surrounding ledges. I ordered a bacon and cheese burger, which, when it arrived, was small and the burger was like eating a burnt brick, it must have been cooked for hours. I was so disgusted that I asked the waiter to take it away and that I didn’t want a replacement. I am 60 years old and this is the first time I have ever returned a meal. My husband refused to pay for the meal although the waiter did try to charge us for half of it, even tough I had had about one mouthful. Needless to say we will never visit this establishment again.

Shocking, went in the late summer for a lunch meal and went away extremely disappointed and we will never return again. The price for what was a very small part baked then an overcooked dried roll was daylight robbery. It cost me £12 for the plate in the photo and 1 pint of beer. Spoke to various staff members who didn't really know what was going on and said that was the price. If you do go be warned, this is the worst pub grub and value for money in Marlow.

Dropped in for breakfast and to sit outside the main entrance as it was glorious. There was only a couple of members of staff serving and the queue was building. An elderly gentlemen was faffing about, he was both sides of the counter, completely ignoring the staff or customers, just making his own coffee. Another elderly lady came in and similar, both sides of the counters, chatting to the gentleman, then going into the cupboard and messing about with the fire alarms. She’s barking orders about waiting for a coffee and rolling her eyes. Next thing they are both sat outside and the queue is even bigger, with people explaining this has become the norm now. Brilliant, I wouldn’t mind but the coffee and breakfast was no where near the usual standards.
