Riverside Restaurant in Windsor and Maidenhead

We had a wonderful morning tea. Hulya was delightful, she and the team served our tea with delicious pastries. We sat on the deck, overlooking the weir. Highly recommend a stop in

We enjoyed the afternoon tea. We were highly welcomed by Hulya and made our visit very enjoyable in terms of the atmosphere, food presentation, and tatse. We highly appreciate the management for choosing Hulya because she has excellent support and service. Thanks

We visited the Riverside Restaurant this lunchtime and really enjoyed our afternoon there. We were particularly impressed by the very friendly and attentive service from Arjun and Abin, who we felt are a real asset to the restaurant. Thanks to both of you! The food, views, and atmosphere were also excellent, and we'll definitely be coming back. 5 stars!

Lovely birthday lunch treat. Delicious food, good wine and great service from Hulya who made sure everything was perfect for us.

An excellent meal at The Riverside Restaurant on the 4th March with a superb table overlooking the river. The experience was topped off with our efficient and friendly waiter, Chanadru, who provided an attentive service and engaged in pleasant conversation with us.

We spent a week at the Compleat Angler Hotel. Downstairs is a pretty restaurant with views of the historic Marlow Bridge and literally on the Thames. The service was amazing, everyone was so helpful and kind. My husband and I would like to especially recognize Hulya. She made our week extra special. Her positive attitude, beautiful smile and suggestions made our meal times extra special. She is such a wonderful asset to the establishment. Amazing customer service. Wonderful service from Vincento and Raj as well. A sincere thank you from two happy Americans!!!

Recently, I had the pleasure of dining there with friends, and it was an evening that left an indelible mark on our palates. As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by a warm ambiance that perfectly complemented the scenic beauty of the riverside setting. Riverside Restaurant at Compleat Angler Marlow offers exceptional food. From delectable starters to exquisite mains and indulgent desserts, each dish is a masterpiece of flavour and presentation. Whether you're a connoisseur of fine dining or simply seeking a memorable meal by the riverside, this restaurant is sure to leave a lasting impression. We left with satisfied appetites and grateful hearts, already planning our next visit to this culinary gem. Highly recommended

Having suffered nausea, uncontrollable shaking and violent vomiting after having afternoon tea at the Riverside restaurant my complaints have been ignored despite several emails and phone calls. Apparently an independent company were supposed to look into the incident but I have heard nothing. I have given the restaurant several opportunities to apologise, to refund the cost of the meal and ensure this never happens to anyone with allergies again. They have failed in every respect. Do not eat here if you have any allergy or intolerances.

Its wonderful place & very good services with friendly people Especially the lady Hulya she's have experience to help the gusset.

The place is comfortable, & food is delicious, and the service is excellent especially Hulya

Very disappointing breakfast experience. Based on our visit, I would not recommend for dinner. Shown to table but not provided a menu. After a few minutes I had to go to the front desk to request menus. Waited at least another 5 minutes before staff came over to take our breakfast order. Coffee (cafetierre) was extremely weak (waitress whispered to us that it was cheap coffee). Cooked breakfast was terrible. Bacon dry and over-cooked. Sausages burnt. Grilled tomatoes burnt. Beans lacked flavour. Potato "scone" tasteless. All served on a plate that was barely warm so food was soon cold, though most was not eaten. Other guests were also complaining about the over-cooked food. Not a great advertisement for a restaurant that is supposedly high quality. Will not be returning.

Service was very good . David the maitre d’ was very attentive and friendly. Location by the weir is fantastic. It would have been nice if lights outside had been on. The food was overall good. The starters were really nice and well presented particularly the cullen skink. Most of the main courses were great particularly the Aubergine and Sherherd’s pie. The fish and chips weren’t great the batter being soggy and the chips being tasteless frozen chips Overall however a pleasant experience with a good range on the wine list

What a lovely treat afternoon tea and champagne in the lovely riverside restaurant. Wonderful service, particularly from the delightful Hulya who helped to make it such a special birthday and anniversary celebration.

For our 59th wedding anniversary, we went for lunch at the Compleat Angler, Marlow on 30 October. We were served by a delightful lady and shared news of her family and life in Marlow generally. We chose the Compleat Angler as it was somewhere we used to go over 60 years ago when we were courting! Oh but how times have changed! When we returned home yesterday from our anniversary holiday, there was a PARKING TICKET for parking in the hotel car park for just over an hour! With a fine of £100 if we didn't pay up! We did not see any notices and there was no-one on Reception - to either greet us or tell us about the terrible and expensive crime we had committed. It's gone 11am and the Manager Sarah Murray has yet to arrive. The UKPC organisation has no way of disputing other than by letter or email. What a terrible outcome to a once-happy memory of the Compleat Angler at Marlow ... so very sad indeed (and also a bit cross!).

Booked for lunch, and due to the weather we were able to have a table on the terrace overlooking the Thames and the Marlow Bridge. We were warmly welcomed by Franco at the bar, who certainly must be a great asset to this hotel, he was so attentive and very informative as to the local beers and lagers available. Halula was our waitress who again was very attentive, and gave first class customer service. The food was well presented and of a good standard. We enjoyed our experience so much that we have since booked for Festive Lunch prior to Christmas.

Chose this well-regarded restaurant for a Sunday pre-birthday lunch, and it was a crushing disappointment. Dry roast chicken, undercooked vegetables, tasteless and a very poor selection,. £22 may not sound unreasonable for a roast chicken lunch, but if it tastes like a TV drummer from a foil tray, it’s not good. The monkfish was tasteless, the selection was poor, and it took 20 minutes to bring the bill. Very disappointing!

Best place to chill & have a tea

What would be better than having an afternoon tea next to revire 💆🏻‍♂️amazing view with an excellent staff and service I would like to thank Hulya, especially for her smile, welcoming & excellent service

Lovely drinks with beautiful view. Was well looked after by Hulya and will come again. A gorgeous restaurant with friendly staff and great calamari!

Old school restaurant, excellent food and great silver service.

The best afternoon tea experience you will had, also the staff is very friendly especially Hulya she was very kind. And if you are Muslim ask about Halal food and she will help you. Enjoy the view 🤍

Joel, was a great waiter, we had a good laugh with him, he really looked after us, lovely food Thank you

Very good restaurant, my steak was perfect. The staff were professional and friendly in a lovely location alongside the river.

My mum and I went for afternoon tea at the riverside restaurant, and we’re waited on by the most loveliest waitress named Hulya. She was so attentive and friendly and really made our experience so special and memorable. Thank you so much, I would highly recommend you visiting and if Hulya is working you will certainly have a great time!

The waiters were helpful but the food was disappointing, the 35 day dry age steak had very little flavour and it was very hit and miss with a gluten free option. The pudding was disappointing, overall it was a disappointing experience and will not return.

Fantastic people fantastic food wonderful views in the garden must not be missed

Despite reading the recent not so good reviews I decided to bring the family here to celebrate Mum's 98th Birthday. It was our first visit and chose this venue as the location looked lovely. The menu choices were quite standard, I chose a very good calamari and my brother had an excellent vichyssoise. For mains we went for the monk fish & pork belly with several sides. All good and mains priced between £20-£30 as expected for such a venue. The staff were great and made Mum's day, especially when they brought out a nicely decorated dessert. I look forward to returning to this venue.

A little disappointing overall, it is definitely a great setting and the service was good but the food on this occasion was nothing to shout about. I have had better from our local Indian restaurant!

A-V-O-I-D / In the spring of 1979, I had my engagement party at this restaurant/hotel. It was a great venue, then. Over the years I used this place many times. Occasionally the service was not excellent, but certainly not as lousy as today. We turned up at 14:15 (Sunday afternoon). I asked for a table for 4 people. “Have you booked”, the manager asked!? “Sorry, I didn’t, but the place is empty”, I replied. To which the manager said “you don’t know if it will fill up later on”!?!? [See pictures]. It sounds like he didn’t know himself but he certainly didn’t want to work. We sat in the garden at the front of the hotel and bought a few drinks. We paid, at the bar, £32 for one gin+tonic, 2 tonic waters and one bottle of local beer. We asked for the menu – we never got one. Our table was also not cleared from the previous customers [see photo of wine bottle and coffee cup]. We were totally ignored by the staff and even those at the bar were very unfriendly. One hour later I took more pictures (place still empty) and we left to go and eat at the St George & Dragon in Wargrave, where we received an excellent service.

A restaurant overlooking the river located in Marlow. From this restaurant, you can see wonderful views of the river, including a large and beautiful tree, as if it was closed on itself. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, and you can have tea, coffee, ice cream, or cake, or you can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and you can rent a boat for a trip. Family or with group

Terrible food… the crispy squid was soggy, the Monkfish was small and just sitting on some cold raw vegetables. It was like stepping into a restaurant of the seventies, dark, drab. The seating area next to the river was narrow with no umbrellas. We were kindly refunded for our lunch

Beautiful scene from tables, I spent a wonderful time.

Just a brief note of sincere appreciation for the kindly and courteous personal attention we were given yesterday by our waiter dealing with our large party for tea. He would be a credit to any organisation and I would certainly come again .

Excel locating. Eye catching by view. Service was okay. High tea was excellent except avocado sandwiches. Hardly any avocado in it.

Stayed at the hotel, riverside view is amazing, food was lovely and 3 course was £50pp

Lovely setting, attentive staff but the food choice in the set menu is rather limited

Super food.and lovely venue on the river

Have not been to this hotel in 8 years so I was looking forward to revisit. We had a reservation for Sunday lunch and was immediately welcomed upon our arrival by reception staff. The restaurant has stunning views of the river and the food matched. The Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding was delicious and they kindly provided me with lots of extra gravy. The service was excellent. As soon as we were seated they took our drinks order and provided fresh bread rolls. All the staff were just so friendly and engaging. Only thing missing was the sunshine. I hear they are having a refurb next year....can't wait to go back

Let's start with what this restaurant is not, a high street set menu place. We arrived when the chef hadn't decided what will be on the menu and was giving his ideas. That culminated in a 3 by 3, 3 course meal selection that was beautifully cooked and presented. If you are looking for a chef plying a craft and respect that in order to do that the choice must be based on available ingredients and a reasonably small choice then you will love this restaurant and its setting. We did and would definitely go back.

Went for Sunday Lunch only had set menu had no children’s menu for our 6 year old granddaughter and charged £45 for food that she did not enjoy. The menu was very poor and had to wait 15 minutes for the bill which was £260 for four of us 👎👎

We sat inside near the open window overlooking the river. The views are amazing and the staff very friendly. Food and wine were delicious. Can definitely recommend this place although the lunch menu was limited.

The view from the restaurant is lovely. The staff are all very nice. The food was good, but there was a very limited selection to choose from. Overall a good experience

We went for afternoon tea very disappointing my friend is pescatarian she asked if the chicken could be swapped for plain cheese the chef refused so she doubled up on cream cheese Her sandwich came with one made from the crust of the bread . Some of the cakes were very bland. Waiters were lovely and helpful and kept the tea topped up but I have had far better afternoon teas elsewhere and I won’t be going back

1st meal out since the easing of lockdown. A wonderful afternoon tea, sat outside overlooking the river/bridge. Such good value, great service, attentive but not intrusive, very friendly. The food was perfect, not too rich, very good choice of teas, the Assam & Fig were perfect. Every effort was made to be welcoming right from the meet and greet when we arrived. Had to alter the sandwich choice slightly due to an intolerance issue, that was dealt with extremely efficiently with no disruption. I would definitely visit again, a perfect start to eating out!

We went on a secret escapes for my partners birthday with an overnight dinner bed and breakfast.The staff were very friendly the service was impeccable and the food was excellent to one of the waiters OVO was outstanding adding his own personal touch by playing the piano during the evening.Not only was it nice to get out again but I felt that the standards that we used to get in a hotel had been returned with the customer central focus being well looked after by all of the team at McDonald hotel.

The food was fine but was pre cooked and then served up. There was nothing really wrong with it but they had a limited choice (only 4 main courses to choose from). All in all it was average but for £150 for 2 people it seems a little expense.

Despite the very limited menú the food was still very poor. £12 for a tomato starter is a bit steep but when the tomatoes are over ripe and tasteless it is not good value. That was followed by a poor quality sole which was mostly bones served with undercooked ‘butter potatoes’ and totally bland mixed vegetables. The desert was no better with what looked and tasted like a mass catering chocolate torte. At £170 for two this was a very overpriced and very disappointing meal. We won’t be going back !

£170 for two is ok when the food is good - but this wasn’t. The soggy tasteless tomato starter (served too cold) was not a good start. You expect fish to have some bones but the sole main course was more bones than fish and didn’t taste very fresh. This was served with undercooked potatoes and a very small side bowl of boring tasteless vegetables. Desert wasn’t much better as the chocolate tort looked and tasted like it came out of a packet. Given that the menu has been paired back to a very limited number of choices (4 for each course) they really ought to be able to do better than this !!! Very disappointing after recently having a superb meal in the hotel’s other restaurant Sindhu We won’t be going back to the Riverside restaurant

My husband booked this through Travelzoo and we had a Voucher for a three course lunch and glass of Prosecco. We decided to order a glass of red wine each (choice was rattled off by the waitress, as no wine list available on the table) to accompany our lamb main and coffee at the end of our meal. The food was enjoyable and we were having a pleasant afternoon celebrating our wedding anniversary... until we asked for the bill - £54 for 2 glasses of wine & 2 coffees !!!!! Shocked was an understatement! Whilst we expected the cost of the drinks to be higher than average .... £54 was ridiculous! We did complain and the wine was eventually taken off the bill, but sadly for us it spoilt what had been an enjoyable afternoon, which could have been avoided if a wine menu was available on the table.

We went here last week to celebrate our granddaughter's 18th birthday. We felt completely safe because there was social distancing at all times and hand sanitisers aplenty. The food was special and the lunch was reasonably priced. Our waiter was just fabulous. We were served by Ovo who paid us exactly the right amount of attention, and, as a bonus, played the piano during the meal. His personality definitely added to the occasion. He played 'Happy birthday' on the piano so we could sing along. He lifted all our spirits, a family party of six. The venue is smart without being overly stuffy and the views over the River Thames to the Pugin church opposite delightful. I would thoroughly recommend this place for location, food and service.

Ovo was a fantastic waiter whose service was excellent> he waited on our table with great care and attention to detail.

Lunch in the Riverside Room restaurant, with beautiful views of the weir fully open, and the river in full flow. Three course lunch, chose smoked salmon to start, main Whole Grilled Plaice, and finally Chocolate Torte. All beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. Thnaks to the staff and particularly Natalie who looked after us very well.

The meal was very well prepared, the service was excellent Ovo our waiter was delightful and so helpful

We stayed at the hotel for two nights and had dinner the first night and afternoon tea second. Our dinner was made exceptional by the wonderful, polite and charming OVO 5star to OVO.

We had supper and breakfast here as part of a 'secret escapes' deal. The food was really very, very poor. Had this not been part of a good deal we would have sent both mains and both puddings back. For supper we had tepid, chewy, tasteless lamb with a mean portion of 'jus' (it was a very thin, standard gravy, not anything like a jus); dry tasteless fondant potato, with a mean portion of undercooked greens. This was followed by a tasteless, grim-textured pudding - it was as much as I could do not to spit it out. For breakfast we were offered thin, cheap yoghurt, with a teaspoon of what was allegedly a berry compote; cold pastries, burned floppy toast (we wondered if it had been pre-burned/toasted and then microwaved, that's how bad it was), orange juice from a carton and cheap, bitter coffee. Wild horses wouldn't get me back here for a meal on the house. Yuk.

Our afternoon tea and dinner in celebration of our daughter's graduation was made exceptional by the wonderful Ovo - charming, entertaining, attentive, a man of many talents and a great asset to the business.We were late for tea but Ovo produced a generous selection of scrumptious cakes. We had the perfect table with fabulous views of the river, the church and the bridge. Dinner was delicious, the perfect end to a delightful afternoon and evening, many thanks Ovo.

My wife and I, plus two friends, one of whom was celebrating her "big" birthday, had booked in for afternoon tea. Luckily, it was a lovely day and we had a table overlooking the Thames which was flowing in full spate due to heavy rains in the upper reaches of the river. We were served by Ovo, who has featured in several past reviews, and who was both delightful and attentive. The sandwiches were good and moist, not tired, the scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam were excellent, but the small cakes were only so-so. Perhaps room for improvement here. A very good selection of teas, and not limited to just one pot. Towards the end, Ovo brought our birthday lady a special plate with Happy Birthday written in chocolate, accompanied with two creamy cakes. A lovely touch to round off a splendid afternoon out.

Superb meal and service. The view of the church and bridge in the evening was a nice backdrop and added to a very nice time. Recommend the fish, yummy.

A most enjoyable, delicious and generous afternoon tea served in the bar area overlooking the river, by the very charming waiter Ovo. Apart from being very attentive and friendly, he also played the piano beautifully which provided further ambience to the occasion - it happened to be my father’s 93rd birthday! Looking forward and hopeful to hearing Ovo sing opera once restrictions allow. I hope the Hotel realises how fortunate they are to have multi talented staff like Ovo.

Everything was first class including Breakfast in riverside Restaurant. Food very good. Staff helpful and firendly to ensure experience was first class

Friendly service, good food, great setting with views of the river. Traditional afternoon tea with 'proper' tea, the usual sandwiches, tasty cakes (and a little cardboard box to take away any you can't eat until later). Good COVID precautions - feels very safe.

We visited the Compleat Angler to have afternoon tea as my wife had received this as a present for her significant birthday. We sat overlooking the river watching the various boats moving up and down. The sandwiches and scones were delicious and we made a start on the cakes finishing them at home later. Our waiter Ovo was charming and helpful and his piano playing a lovely addition to the afternoon

Meal was lovely, but I do feel that the service could have been better ok it was Sunday night but should have been more polished for an up market restaurant. Also an overcharge on our bill of £36 had to be rectified with no apology.

We enjoyed our meals., and the views are second to non.I think due to the uncertain future , the hotel is not working with a full compliment of staff, but everyone was doing their best . It cant be easy social distancing in a kitchen.

We had afternoon tea and 2 dinners in the restaurant.For afternoon tea we had requested no cucumber sandwiches in advance, and again in the restaurant, but they still arrived. As a previous reviewer said, the scones did not deserve the name, and when I pointed this out, the reply came back from the kitchen that they were "Scottish scones", but my mate google could not find anything matching their description under this name. They did not taste bad, but just did not live up to their name.The waiter, also mentioned by others, was delightful, and gave a short piano recital. He did seem unable to change the preassigned table allocation, which meant that the 3 occupied tables were next to each other, which is really unhelpful in the times of Covid-19, especially when there was plenty of space in the restaurant.Some aspects of our evening meals were good, especially some cured trout, but my wife's tortellini were too large, with thick pasta, and not properly shaped. We also found a side of green vegetables pretty well inedible.

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea at the Riverside Restaurant Marlow. The food was delicious and plentiful and the picturesque riverside views were the perfect backdrop. We would recommend to others and hope to return ourselves one day. Thank you to all of the staff who made our visit so enjoyable- especially to Ovo who served us and couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful.

My husband and I visited for afternoon tea last week. We have lived in Marlow all our lives and never visited the Angler before but we were excited to try. Sadly we came away feeling disappointed with our experience. We weren't asked what sort of tea we would like and instead just bought out a teapot of English breakfast tea. Never had this happen with afternoon tea elsewhere as you usually have a number of varieties to pick from. Sandwiches had been sat out a long time as the bread was dry and crusty and fillings pretty unimaginative. Scones and cakes were nice but we wouldn't return. Service friendly but very slow and tables not cleared very quickly given Covid rules.

Good in the end. I had a travelzoo voucher that was extended so to Covid until October. This was for a three course lunch. When I called in to book after the re opening I was told this wasn’t valid and I had to have afternoon tea!! I found this unacceptable, and not equivalent. I pushed on the phone and agreed two course dinner. This was great, the food was good as was the service. The saving was never as much as the lunch but at least better than the the afternoon tea which was worth less than my voucher !!

Lovely afternoon tea. Very friendly staff (named Ovo:D) who took all our requests very quickly. Great view on the river as well.

Along with two friends we booked for afternoon tea at The Compleat Angler in Marlow. The hotel has done a really good job of social distancing signage and copious amounts of hand sanitiser available everywhere making the experience feel very relaxed and comfortable. From being greeted by the General Manager and served by 'Ovo' the whole afternoon was extremely enjoyable. We sat overlooking the River Thames, Marlow Bridge and the Church and were treated to an excellent selection of Teas, sandwiches, Scones and Cakes. `the addition of Lemon Curd with the scones along with Strawberry Jam and Clotted Cream was a nice touch.Ovo's attention to detail and service was impeccable. Thanks.We have already booked to return in two weeks time and are looking forward to it as another special treat!

Way too overpriced, especially the drinks.

I went to the restaurant on a second date and we had the most amazing time. The location is beautiful and the food was stunning. Everything was made better by the waiter who was called Ovo. He was just brilliant and to cap it off he played the piano for us at the end of the evening. Can not recommend this place enough snd Ovo you deserve a promotion. Thank you.

I visited the restaurant with 2 friends. Somewhat embarrassingly we had sat down in the other hotel restaurant before determining we needed to move. All the staff were lovely and sat us at a lovely table. The menu was good and there was plenty of choice of vegetarian and or fish and meat. The butternut squash soup was lovely as was the cauliflower main course, my meat eating friends thoroughly enjoyed their terrine and chicken. Deserts and coffee very good too.

I visited here with some colleagues recently and thought the surroundings and the view from the restaurant was very special. The bar area next to the restaurant was a very pleasant space to sit and I was thoroughly looking forward to my food. I picked a vegetarian cheese mousse to start and a chilli tofu dish to follow. I have to say both were disappointing with little flavour to speak of, except for the tofu dish which tasted of chilli and not much else! One of my slabs of tofu hadn’t been drained properly so it made one half of my plates very wet. It was all very unappetising. In addition, the waiting staff multiple times gave members of my group the wrong food. At a restaurant at this end of the market, that really shouldn’t happen once let alone several times. It’s all a real shame because this restaurant could be amazing given its location and ambience but it really is let down by the food, which whilst being perfectly edible, is nothing to write hone about.

We travelled to this restaurant for an afternoon tea, from London. Having had no reservation, there were no tables by the window, so the manager lead us to the breakfast room where we had the privilege of having the entire room to ourselves with beautiful river view. We had a great service and hot, lovey scones. Afterwards we strolled around the town with the comfort of having our car parked at the hotel. I highly recommend this restaurant. Marlow is beautiful town for a day trip.

Fabulous afternoon tea at the gorgeous Riverside Restaurant. Had a very romantic view sat on a window table looking at the River Thames, really attentive service, scones were warm and fresh and VERY tasty; some of the best I’ve eaten. Can’t fault it, highly recommend.

We were lucky enough to have the charming and talented Ovo as our waiter which lifted a mediocre tea ( uninspired sandwiches, no savoury pastries, lovely scones, stodgy cakes rather than patisserie, lots of super freshly brewed tea) The setting at the riverside restaurant is lovely with views of the river, bridge and church. Ovo was a perfect waiter totally charming and attentive. In addition he played beautifully on the piano- quite unexpected and delightful. Overall a very good experience- we will be back.

This was a second visit where Ovo has looked after us for afternoon tea. As with our first visit at Christmas he was the best host we could have asked for.The food was amazing and we were looked after very well; however I do have to make reference to the so called supervisor Ratena, I say so called because she was busy doing nothing. We had to wait a short time for our table, as we were early and whilst we waited we watched her bring some food out and just leave it on the bar! it was clear to me who this food belonged to, but it wasn't taken to them for several minutes until Ovo realised it was sat there waiting and going cold! the lady returned her sandwich, then a lady also came and asked for the bill, Ratena replied I will get it for you, she then walked off in the other direction, a few minutes later the lady returned to ask for her bill again and was given it straight away by the barman. At the end of our tea, we asked Ratena for our bill again she said I will get it and walked off in the other direction, several minutes later I had to ask Ovo for our bill and it arrived straight away! This so called supervisor needs to be told she doesn't just wander around looking busy she has to do some work!! She is a lazy, unhelpful and not fit for purpose

Ovo was a most gracious host and even played the piano beautifully in between serving the guests. Food was excellent and the setting by the river Thames is unbeatable in Marlow. Lamb Duo was a good choice and the Italian wine by the glass was pricy but worth the money.

Nice sight seen of marlow bridge and dam

We stayed at the hotel and had a 3 course meal in the Riverside. Views are fabulous and so was the food, rib-eye steak for my wife and beef brisket for me with both meals cooked to perfection.

We enjoyed a 5* afternoon tea celebrating my mums birthday. The view and setting couldn’t have been move perfect, overlooking the river and church, it really has the best views in Marlow. All of the food was beautiful, we enjoyed the explanations about the different teas, and the scones were the delicious! They even brought out a special birthday plate for my mum! We were thoroughly looked after.

Great place for a coffee in more refined environment.. Easy parking and a very comfortable hotel. Go here after a walk to enjoy a luxurious coffee. Food is good too

Sadly lunch today not up to the standard you would expect from a MacDonald hotel. One meal good two poor.

Lovely place by the river, had an amazing view of the river and the food was wonderful

We meet every year at the Riverside. The venue and the situation is absolutely wonderful.

I am so frustrated about the food and the service in the Compleat Angler. Such an amazing setting but the food took hours to be served and was from a tray of a supermarket.

Late night, my partner and I visited the bar. No greeting or any sort of acknowledgement from the bar tender at all for 10 minutes. It was only us at the bar too. It was appalling. Only ordered a hot chocolate which was terribly bitter. Then the audacity to add service charge when all we heard was him complain to another member of staff how the place should be run. It is such a beautiful place but sadly the staff let it down.

We had a lovely afternoon tea, booked for our Grandparents for Christmas. Ovo thoroughly looked after us, nothing was too much trouble, he put the name behind service with a smile! Food was delicious and venue was great. Highly recommend

Thoroughly enjoyable Afternoon tea here last week at the Riverside Restaurant looking out across the Thames and to Marlow Bridge. Nice touch using a timer bought to the table to ensure the tea is just right and ready to pour from the teapot! Also impressed with the sandwiches and the cake selection. Attentive and friendly service by the waitress. Thankyou!

Excelente atendimento. O local é lindo, antigo e confortável. A comida apenas boa, a apresentação excelente mas o sabor apenas bom. Não gastaria tanto para saborear um prato apenas bom.

The location of this restaurant by the river and weir is amazing. We had an outstanding three course meal and drink in the bar beforehand to celebrate a birthday. The service from Hugo and Hovo was excellent, both attentive and cheerful. Hovo even played happy birthday on the piano and the chef made my daughter a vegan birthday plate. All helping to make this a memorable evening. I would highly recommend both the food and service at this restaurant.

I had a Groupon voucher for afternoon tea. My previous experience or these vouchers at other hotels wasn’t great so I had low expectations.

On arrival we were greeted by lovely staff who were extremely warm and welcoming, especially Chris the concierge and Dalia on reception. We had a great meal in the riverside restaurant, the duck was amazing, as well as Emily and Hugo who were so attentive and accommodating. The room had a stunning view of the weir, was very spacious and clean. Overall the stay was 5*. Would definitely come again and recommend to friends and family.

Came in for some food with some friends, food was good, service was great! I will be back again, and can not wait!

We came here for my nan's 90th surprise birthday meal and all I can say is from the first time of talking to the events team to leaving at the end of the night the experience was fantastic, the doorman met us with a warm smile, the bar and restaurant staff were very polite and couldn't do enough to help us make the meal go smoothly and the meal itself was worth more than we had to pay for it.. All in all a 100% evening.

Lovely setting .graet food and very friendly staff ..good service.good selection of traditional dishes ..some with a twist

I don’t understand a restaurant than has poor service.

The location of this restaurant is stunning. On the Thames on a lovely sunny day, it would be difficult to find a better setting. However, that's where the 'wow factor' ended. We had afternoon tea for two, we were seated quickly and asked which tea we would like. We were served tea promptly but had to wait a long time for our sandwiches and cakes. When they did arrive, there was absolutely nothing wrong with them but it was all a bit ordinary. There was nothing that stood out. The sandwiches were nice, ham, tuna, salmon etc, the scones were nice, the cakes were nice but there was nothing memorable. I've had a few afternoon teas and there is usually something that makes each one different to the next but not here. Such a shame as it could be so much better.

Staff in the Riverside were very good, friendly and attentive. Food was excellent but set lunch menu a bit limited. Easy car parking, beautiful setting and views. A pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Will return.
