Chicken kiev was really good especially the black garlic emulsion and the onion and cider soup. 2 dishes and a dessert each seemed to be enough

Can’t see eye to eye with this restaurants Michelin star. This place is a decent food pub. Definetley some creative foods which did not taste bad, but not great to me. Most of the meat foods were very salty, the pork, Shepards pie, and the coleslaw in the burger. Our whole table kept needing more water because the salt. Additionally we were sat in the corner and struggled to get service 1 or 2 times.

Honest to goodness, the best meal I’ve had in a long time. We really lucked out and it happened to be a crisp sunny autumnal day to wander around beautiful Marlow followed by an epically tasty lunch at the Coach. I highly recommend sitting at the bar so that you can look into the kitchen and see all of the hard work going into preparing your meal. Hearty portions, interesting flavour combinations and perfectly attentive service. Truly exceptional value.

Sharing plates does mean you get to taste a broader range of what the kitchen is up to - which can be a curse or a blessing. Some dishes were genuinely delicious but others didn't really come together, having too little flavour or in the case of the desserts just being overwhelmingly sweet. At a lower price this might have been acceptable but it had the hit and miss quality you might expect of a pop-up, where you might pay half as much. The setting is very cramped and claustrophobic, with the seating crowded around a bar, which takes up about half the floorspace. It's converted from what you'd imagine as one of those front room pubs in a terraced street, which is more suited for standing and drinking. Probably won't be hurrying back.

We went to the Coach today. It was our 5-6th time there (first time for Sunday roast). We went for starters which were nice but the Sunday roast dinner was disappointing as well as the service. The roast beef was cold and the quality could be better. Across the full lunch experience we were never asked how the food was until we asked for the bill even though i made the waitress aware about the issues, when the dishes were collected. The waitress said she would pass my feedback to the chef. We also had to order the second drinks based on the lack of attention for the main course. The Waiting time between starters and main course was at the limit to be acceptable. Very disappointing experience overall . We will hesitate to come back there and the Tap. Table had a few small fruit flys nearby which was also off putting. We used to love the food & service experience in both places but unhesitatingly it has gone downhill in recent times.

We rang up at 8:00am this morning to book a table and were able to book a couple of bar stools. I mentioned it was our anniversary and when we arrived we sat right in front of the kitchen. We picked a number of dishes off the menu and none of them disappointed. My personal favourites being the Coach Burger and Cottage Pie. The staff were very attentive and it was great to speak to them and the Chef. Would highly recommend.

Lovely inside the pub with booths for two but set on West Street so can be noisy in the summer with open windows. Set lunch is good - chicken pie and Eton mess when we were there, but nothing special. So not sure why it has a Michelin star as service good but the rest of the menu costs up to £33 for a small plate with a small tower like burger at £20 which look unremarkable. Good once but unlikely to come back.

I have looked over reviews and am very surprised. We felt there was 'no vibe' and a subdued atmosphere. We had a planned to spend 3 originally 4 hours here but the food was not close to what we had hoped. We booked at 8am that morning as theor policy is to book on the day. Creating a sense of urgency! Clever but not required surely! The scotch egg arrived. So small! Then risotto. Tasty followed by prawn baked potatoe at £22 for the smallest potatoe! Ordered chips that never came so asked to settle up. £73 with two drinks. Poor food, service and lack of any atmosphere! Shame, we hoped for so much more!

Have been here a couple of time. The chips and the duck parfait (with brioche) alone make a visit worthwhile. The waiting staff is super nice and pleasant. However, have been surprised by the inconsistency in some of the dishes. For example, the cabbage dish which was very good in the first two visits was undercooked in some parts. It's disappointing because when they land the dishes, the restaurant has been worth the one hour drive it takes me to get there

Great food; not been there before, so the staff helpfully explained that the food was more served like a tapas way than the traditional 3-course. Between 2 of us, we ordered 3 dishes each, plus 2 desserts, and that was plentiful. Each dish was beautifully presented and just as delicious to eat! Service was very attentive and friendly. Cannot fault it. It was one of the hottest days of the year, so the windows were wide open and we had a lovely breeze coming through keeping us comfortable. Very pleased with it all.

Nice vibe and very friendly and welcoming staff, the highlight of our lunch experience. However I felt the kitchen is trying too hard with the food. Menu takes inspiration from pub classics (scotch egg, fish and chips etc) but falls short on execution and flavour in my opinion. I found the result to be confusing and too fussy. My guess the restaurant is carried by the name of its Chef Patron. If it wasn’t for him the google ratings would have been much lower.

Service and food were great. Space is a tad tight. Best spot is along the bar/facing the kitchen. We had the burger, chips, hispi cabbage, chicken Kiev, chocolate mousse and treacle tart. Everything was delicious. However this is rich food. Pace yourself! Seasoning on Kiev was also slightly heavy handed. But overall it was well worth the price and we were astounded at the price of the set menu. What a bargain! £15 for 2 courses. We'll definitely be back to try the set menu.

Wasn't quite sure what to expect when the word tapas was mentioned in descriptions of the food. In fact the dishes are small however larger than tapas and served in a tapas style continuation. We had 8 dishes, 6 savoury and 2 sweet, this left us delightfully full but not stuffed. All were absolutely delicious with the venison chilli just beating the turbot to first place in our ranking. Totally recommend.

This place is good but not outstanding. Liked all dishes but didn’t love them to a point where I’d come back for them - all reasonably well executed except for the beef hash which was extremely salty despite having very good flavor (and I usually eat VERY salty). Overall a pleasant experience, service is subdued but friendly, a bit slow, but nothing to complain about. Price point is good. Setting is nice. Again, just nothing overly exciting, but not bad by any means either.

Quite a mixed bag in terms of food. A key thing to note is despite the prices looking like full meal rates the menu is designed as more of a tapas/taster menu. This means you are encouraged to order 2-3 options per person. The food was very rich, with some excellent classics and then some less well executed items , such as the 'coach chips' which I assume where supposed to be triple cooked but they were just rock hard and highly salted. The staff were all great though and it was a novel experience but overall I wouldn't return.

Best Michelin Star food you can get for price. Service is 5* and the food is incredible. Set lunch at 2 dishes for £15 is unbeatable. (Add a third dish too for a bit more if you like) Open kitchen, engaging and friendly chefs, love seeing it all working. A true gem in Marlow.

Enjoyable restaurant. Food is very well prepared and presented but a little on the bland side (especially starters duck liver parfait and watercress soup). Quail was super though. Order the chips and ponder when does a chip become a roast potato, and when does a roast potato become a chip. Service was a bit clunky. “Would you like another glass of champagne?” “No thank you. Maybe later.” Glass of champagne arrives. “Excuse me is this complimentary? We didn’t order it.” “I thought you did.” Yanks glass away. I think my expectations were too high having read reviews. Go in expecting mediocre food and service and you will pleasantly surprised.

Disappointing experience at The Coach for lunch today. Despite booking a table for 3 we were placed on an awkwardly shaped table in the corner and although there was a huge gap between us and the next table the waiting staff wouldn't move our table around so we would be more comfortable. Food was ok but over salted and it felt very heavy with few vegetable options to pair with the meat. There weren't any special touches that you might expect when eating at a Michelin starred establishment and the sport on the TVs felt tacky especially given no one was watching it. To note, the accessible toilet was extremely inaccessible! It is off a room at the back with a table and chairs half a metre away meaning the door could only be opened once the group sitting there had left, and it would be impossible to get a wheelchair in there without moving all the furniture. Prices reasonable but we wouldn't return.

The menu is confusing. It is split into two sections ‘meat’ and ‘not meat’. The pricing is roughly between £10-£35 for the items on it which we presumed were starters and mains…. Wrong. It’s essentially tapas and very expensive for what you get. The burger especially for £19 was like a kids slider. Try sharing that between 2! £100 spent for 4 small dishes and a couple of drinks. Unlikely to return as the quality vs price isn’t there.

Nothing memorable except for waiting 30 minutes for what looked like a loaf of bread that had just been in Willy Wonkas shrink machine. It was tiny. It was so bad it was hilarious. And it even got presented with an elaborate story of how they make it from scratch which is what took them so long. Leave it out!

The Coach closed out our eating weekend in Marlow and it was a grand finale! It's relaxed and pretty casual while still feeling special, and the staff are lovely - not sure about their definition of 'small plates' though 😆 We started with cocktails - a Coach Cherry Cola and a Yuzu Martini which were generous and delicious - while we scrutinised the menu. We were recommended two or three plates each, so we both plumped for soup and scones then decided on a burger and pork with roast potatoes and hispi cabbage to share. We were advised by our server that the dishes would come out 'as and when' but they came pretty much as starters then mains. The Jersey Royal and watercress soup with cheese scones was beyond delicious and my dish of the day, and I started to suspect at that point that the treacle tart I'd been eyeing up for desert might be beyond my stomach's capacity! The pork was huge and beautifully cooked with crisp pommes Anna and tender cauliflower cheese and the burger beat my eating-buddy. We managed a crisp and fluffy roast potato each and I picked the cabbage leaf by crunchy leaf until I knew that I was defeated. We ordered a second cocktail each as I sadly accepted that I'd be wasting everyone's time by ordering a treacle tart that I'd only be capable of sniffing - there was absolutely no space left for me to pack it into 😞 Absolutely loved The Coach, and I'll have to come back - maybe we'll just do desserts next time...

Severely over priced the portion sizes were embarrassing and the mushroom risotto whilst having a strong flavour was over cooked and sloppy the scotch egg with chorizo and red pepper was the highlight the moules marinier was not as described and was in fact moules in a stout froth and had 6 mussels and a tiny portion of brown bread which was fresh baked the desserts were simply awful the treacle tart in no way way resembled in appearance or taste of a treacle tart the clotted cream was flavourless the jam roly poly was over cooked and tasteless the suet pudding was dry and I’ve had better suet puddings from aunt Bessie or Asda’s own. The fact Kerridge has the the front to put his name to this establishment proves his love of money outweighs his skills as a chef. Will not be returning to any of his establishments until he addresses these issues and £84 for a £26 pound bottle of Malbec was the final nail in the coffin N MURRELLS ex savoy chef

Marlow is truly a charming treasure of a town. It’s just a little over an hour’s drive from the hustle and bustle of central London. Highly recommend a weekend road trip for a delightful lunch or dinner to change up the scenery. The Coach and Hand and Flower are sister establishments, both adorable wooden pubs with a distinct British flair. They exude an authentic and rustic charm with a touch of sophistication. Upon entering, I discovered that The Coach holds a well-deserved Michelin star for several years. Unlike Hand and Flower, The Coach serves dishes in small tapas-style portions. The open kitchen behind the bar operates with impressive orderliness. 👏 I strongly recommend The Coach Burger with Smoked Cheddar, Cola Braised Beef, and Dill Pickle. I’m not a huge burger fan, but this petite yet towering creation was so delicious that we ended up ordering another round! A steak patty topped with cheese,crispy potato cake, Cola Braised Beef, Pickle Cabbage, and Dill Pickle, all sandwiched between a buttery bun – the combination is a symphony of textures and flavors, rich and juicy! As we were leaving, we noticed the Whole Stuffed Rotisserie Quail with Haggis, Peppered Swede, and Whisky ordered at the neighboring table, and it looked incredibly tempting! Planning to try it on our next visit!

Don't particularly like sitting on high tables but these were comfy. Waitress was knowledgeable with the wine menu - always helpful. Food was top top tier. Broccoli soup for starters that came with a breadstick which had melted Stilton on it. Mains was a fish pie of sorts which was very nice and the crust was cooked to perfection. Would recommend anyone a visit for a spot of lunch on a Monday afternoon.

We had some fantastic Cornish sea bass in a nutty chicken jus gras and perfectly seasoned pork with crackling out of this world. The roasties we ordered on the side were some of the best I think I've ever had. The drinks selection looks great, however as I was driving I went with non-alc. beer, of which the selection was less inspired. We came with a fifteen-month-old and the staff offered up a great little child seat. Would be great if there were changing facilities too. The atmosphere is more Soho brasserie than pub, and a very pretty one at that, so why they've put muted TVs showing Sky Sports above the bar is beyond me. They catch your eye and steal your attention away from both the stylish interiors and your fellow diners whether you want to look at them or not, and even if the restaurant was recognisable as a boozer still it would be an insult to the centuries-old pub building to litter it with flatscreens. Anyway, the staff were all lovely and if I did want to look at something other than my better half and our daughter then the front-row view of the kitchen is fascinating (and nothing like as heart attack-inducing as Boiling Point would have you believe). Aside from the bill dropping on our table before the brilliant desserts, The Coach was warm and welcoming, and I definitely want to go back.

We had a wonderful lunch here in the summer and have since been back for dinner and came again for breakfast this morning. Service is comedically bad. Sorry to say but seems to be next to no training/experience in the serving staff. We were given two lots of drinks on two separate occasions in the space of one 45 minute breakfast. Food is ok - best of the best ingredients undoubtedly but a lot of the ideas don’t work/aren’t as clever or well executed as they have been previously.

Absolutely amazing. Visited in November as part of the Gastronomic Getaway package offered by the H&F. From start to finish, it was stunning. A new concept for us in terms of how the food is served, but it was expertly executed. Highlights were the Chilli, chicken Kiev, and the battered cod, but every dish was amazing! The standout for the evening though, was Matthew the Maitre'd. Absolutely amazing, and Tom Kerridge should be absolutely proud of the guy. He was a genius with being the 'face' of the Coach, and took our meal to another level with his wine pairings and his knowledge and understanding of the menu. The guy deserves praise of the highest level, as he is such a compliment to the kitchen staff and just elevates everything they produce. An amazing experience

Excellent food. I had the soup and the baked potato with tartare and my wife the parfait and the partridge. We were amazed by the intensity of the flavors. As to the dessert, the mango choux bun reminded me how top-notch patisserie tastes like. Service was helpful and attentive. If I have to nit-pick, I was not quite convinced by the online menu and I wondered if TV is really needed.

Ridiculously nice food, great friendly service, very reasonably priced. Even saw Kerridge himself in the place on Sunday. We shared 5 small plates between 2 of us, with a dessert and two soft drinks it came to just over £100. The burger was incredible. The choux bun dessert was out of this world, presented by the pastry chef at the table. You can only book on the day, but means it’s actually very easy to get in. There is really cheap car parking just around the corner on Liston Road.

Utterly fantastic food, atmosphere, service and the opportunity to watch professional chefs in action from your seat. What more could you want….? Perhaps a variety of Rebellion ales on tap….? Yep, they’ve nailed it. Maybe I’m just easily pleased, but for me, this is pure heaven in restaurant form.

Visited with party of 4 for lunch. Set lunch is good value, would not recommend a la carte. Service was quite poor, very slow, not attentive at all. To be fair to them they realised they were poor with us and they (unprompted) gave us a free plate of chips to compensate. I thought set lunch food was good (not great) but my guests did not like their food choices. I would return for set lunch, my guests will not be coming back.

Great food, wonderful service, lovely place. I'd highly recommend the muscles, but the rotisserie beef was a little underwhelming. The sticky toffee pudding was the best I've ever had. The staff were super amazing. Very attentive without being at all over bearing.

The food was fantastic and the staff all so friendly which creates a lovely atmosphere. It was really great to be able to see the kitchen in action sitting at the bar.

The BEST of British at this cozy, old fashioned pub in beautiful Marlow. The portions are small but after you’ve reached dessert, you realise you are full. Had the most incredible chips I ever tasted and the mussels in stout foam was an incredible taste. For my main, I had the seabass and I used the delicious chips to mop up the sauce - no one could talk to me as I was in heaven. My husband had the burger and it was the most unusual looking burger but it melted in the mouth. If you haven’t been, what are you waiting for?!!! Book it!

I've just arrived home after the most wonderful meal for my Dad's 70th birthday. All of the staff are so friendly and kind, they added some extra special touches to our evening and really did go above and beyond. The food was absolutely phenomenal and it will be a night we will always remember. Thank you so much xxxxx

You can have tastier, cheaper, less salty food and more generous portions at any other gastro pub, Having to pay £10 for the luxury of roast potatoes and vegetables to accompany your meal is taking the proverbial.

Visited as a treat. Food was spot on as was the service. Liked the way the coach was furnished and how the seating was set up. Seems to be the place to go.

I’m not really sure where to start. I cannot believe this has a Michelin star. Essentially it’s just a tiny pub. 2 pints, a glass of wine and tapas (3 plates - 1 of which was chips), just under £80 / person. My local Fullers pubs offer better value and food. The only positive was the waiting staff tried. But otherwise mediocre at best food, an above itself attitude and I was still hungry after. Wouldn’t go again or recommend.

Perfectly put together small plates which we enjoy sitting at the bar with a view of the kitchen. Service is friendly and relatively informal. Very different to The Hand and Flowers in style, but just as good in overall experience.

Outstanding - food was absolutely divine. We stayed over and had to be away early so landlady got up earlier than usual and made us bacon butties and tea and coffee to take with us. Went above and beyond to make us welcome.
