Booked on the day for lunch as a group of four friends. The vibe is interesting; the kitchen is open with bar seating and tables which is nice but the small tv screens are odd. The menu is designed for 2-3 plates per person. Service charge is included in pricing of menu. Ordered the rotisserie of the day; pork lion with asparagus, black pudding and some form of purée, and The Coach chips with béarnaise sauce. Pork was tender, flavours were rich, and all aspects were to a high standard. The sweets followed: rhubarb and custard choux bun with white chocolate cremeux. There is a lot that could be said for the dessert but simply, it was very good.

Fantastic food and excellent service. Every dish we had was first class. My favourites were the beetroot salad, the turbot and the rhubarb choux bun. So good. A shame we don't live closer.

Amazing dinner at The Coach. Get atmosphere, attentive but not intrusive. Sat on a table rather than the bar…private enough for a an easy conversation and a good size table…hate it when a table for 2 is so small two dishes and the table is full! It was obvious that the team on the dinner service work well together, understand their role, have a great rapport and have an extensive knowledge of the dishes. Great advice on approx 3 dishes per person…assuming you’re going to share. Wasn’t sure it would be hubby’s ‘cup of tea’, but given he ended up ordering a second burger and ate most of it himself, think it was a hit. Every dish looked like a picture and was perfectly presented. Fried hake was delicious and my favourite, closely followed by the muscles. Least favourite was the salt code scotch egg…yes, I know it was salt cod, it it was very salty for us…personal taste. Hubby loved the burger and the shepherds pie. A good wine list and choice of beer as well. We tried ‘Outer Limits’ which was so good we had a second bottle! If I lived locally this would be a regular place for us, as we’re not, we have to be satisfied with a first, but defined not a last visit. Not a cheap meal, but in this case you get what you pay for and was well worth it. Just have to find Tom’s recipe for his pickles…need to make these at home!

Had a fantastic lunch at The Coach in Marlow! The food was excellent, with every dish crafted to perfection. The real stars of the meal were the liver dish and the unique burger—both packed with incredible flavor and cooked beautifully. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a relaxed yet high-quality dining experience. The service was attentive and professional, adding to the overall enjoyment. If you’re in Marlow and looking for exceptional food, The Coach is definitely worth a visit!

The menu at the entrance was misleading. I assumed the main meal portions would be normal size, but they were actually served "tapas" style. This means you need to order 2-3 main dishes to feel full if you're hungry, making it three times more expensive than a typical meal at a restaurant. While the starters were good, the main dishes were excessively salty, making it difficult to taste anything. Additionally, the price for a glass of wine was equivalent to the price of a bottle at other restaurants. They display a "Michelin" badge at the front entrance, which seems to give them the impression that they can overcharge customers. I highly recommend avoiding this place! There are better restaurants available at more reasonable prices.

Book the table this morning at 9 o’clock for lunch for Valentine’s Day for me and my husband but got seat at the bar. We wanted proper table that’s what we booked in the morning. If there was no proper table then they should have let us know. Lady didn’t help us out too. We ended up sitting at front of door which was so cold, people kept opening the door. Not happy al all👎

The staff are lovely and professional. I really wanted to love the food but it wasn’t anything extraordinary for the prices and the posh pub reputation it has. It was a winter visit so it was very cold inside - but we had a heater next to our table. Atmosphere was a bit quiet. Not what I expected from the pub but it was pleasant nonetheless.

I am so impressed with this restaurant/gastropub I’m writing this review before I’ve even left. Do not miss this place! Food: Simply. Outstanding. The mushroom risotto was possibly the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot!) and the chicken kyiv was a masterpiece of rich, distinct but complementary flavors in a perfect portion size. Both items have been on the menu for 10 years - and for good reason! Service: Personalized, knowledgeable and passionate. Maizy and Liam in particular were excellent in their recommendations - they hit the mark (and surpassed it) with each dish. Atmosphere: cozy, classic, welcoming and comfortable. Exposed wooden beams, and unobtrusive tvs just to keep abreast of the match I also enjoyed an excellent Nebbiolo, and there’s a small but carefully curated cocktail menu (plus beer obviously), but the food and service really blew my mind! The whole experience was exactly what I needed on a cold winter evening after a rather stressful day at work, and I’m so grateful!

Too many people had told me i would love it, and I finally made it. Salt cod scotch egg...I could have had 3. Had booked a table but secured a seat in front of kitchen. Staff were very accommodating, despite being obviously busy, in answering my questions re the food. The chips were everything I had heard, and the Hand and Flowers was a light and crisp start to a perfect lunch.

We have been going to the Coach for the last seven years, always fantastic. This time was also very good, but one dish in my humble opinion wasn’t right. I am Italian and I have been eating salted cod since I was a child, and I know the dish is on the salty side, but every component of the Salted Cod Scotch Egg dish was too salty and made it unpleasant. We tried to enjoy it but we were unable to finish it . The reason I am making this comment is mainly for the answer I had from the lady serving us when I very politely pointed this out . “ Well it is salted cod that is why it is salty . The head chefs answer was , “This dish has won a 2 Michelin Star”, and dismissed me with that comment. I am not doubting the dish is a well thought of dish, but could it be that the one we had wasn’t quite right??? and maybe some how it was too salted ??? This will not stop us from returning as we love the Coach , but I was disappointed in the reaction and answers that I had from the staff. I was dismissed like a schoolboy that doesn’t know anything, with out even trying to make some sort of apology . For instance ; I am sorry you are not enjoying this food , but ….etc.etc. I wish the staff at The Coach a very happy Christmas and a fantastic 2025.

Stumbled across probably the best breakfast I've had. So was driving back from Bracknell came through Marlow. Beautiful town setting went off to find another place Google was recommending and found The Coach thought it was shut but it was open for breakfast. Sat at the bar open kitchen view. I had two coffees, an fresh orange juice which was great. I chose the full English and and was incredible. Comes with two slices of toast. Service was excellent also highly recommend paying a visit.

The food was good but the small plates don’t really work for Sunday lunch, items come at different times and I ended up eating alone whilst my husband waited then vice versa. Table was pretty cramped and the only vegetables on the whole menu was a hispi cabbage. The male waiter who seated us was surly and abrupt, however the female waitress was lovely and friendly. Wouldn’t bother returning.

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.

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.

This place is good but not outstanding.

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.

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.

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

We were lucky to have a fantastic lunch at The Coach in Marlow. Food was amazing with a wonderful bottle of Rioja. Staff were very friendly and attentive. This visit made our weekend. Thank you 😊

The food was incredible. Surpassed our expectation. We sat at the bar, which was actually an excellent experience and Kristina, our waitress, was vibrant, knowledgeable and made our evening even more enjoyable!

Don’t recommend for a large party. Junior servers very accommodating, senior staff did not make us feel welcome. They say they can do vegan on request but don’t bother, you will end up with lightly seasoned lettuce. Honestly shocked.it has a Michelin star. Private dining room felt like a corridor surrounded by fire exits.

We dropped in for drinks mid afternoon and were very welcome to sit at the bar. The staff were lovely and not at all rushing you. We will definitely return for the food

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!

What a wonderful experience we had at The Coach! Highly recommend this over the Hand & Flowers as it allows you more variety to choose from and experience. The service staff were incredible and so lovely! We will be back soon!

A truly spectacular restaurant with excelent quality food, top notch service, and a lovely atmostphere. The vegetarian options are varied and absolutely delicious. We were especially pleased with the waiter who caught that we ordered a desert with a meaty ingredient and stopped us ordering it. Also... great beer - get the Rebellion Roasted Nuts.

Sat at the bar, it was a wonderful date night hosted by a fantastic server called ewan. We both enjoyed good visibility into the kitchen watching the food be prepared. The food itself was exquisite, I would personally recommend the pigs head and the beef suet pudding. Top notch.

I took my young son to this restaurant as he is moving to Marlow, and I heard that this restaurant has a Michelin. We went for a lunch. You can definitely tell this place has a sterling reputation as it is very popular and busy. The food is first class and the service was attentive and friendly. My son really enjoyed it. You can definitely take children here. Especially enjoyed the open kitchen. I will definitely be visiting again. I thought the pricing was very reasonable for the quality of the food.

Saw online this place has a Michelin star and they offer 2 course lunch for £15 so thought it would be worth giving it a try and right we were! Greeted by friendly staff upon entrance. 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.

One of our top restaurants. Though you must like the 'tapas' style of eating, and quite expensive, but with it. Great service, great food, great atmosphere.

Usually get coffee from the well known golden arches but the coffee machine was broken, so we chose Hatch Coffee. It was actually the best outcome, one of the best tasting black americanos I've had! Other half was equally as pleased with her latte. Definitely be back 😃❤️

Don't go to this pub if you want your mental health to survive. A lot of the regulars are snotty, upity, and arrogant people who will look down on you from the moment you set foot inside, because they seem to have this "they're not one of us" mentality behind them. AVOID!!!
