The best restaurants in Marlow North and West Wycombe South East

Great bar, great menu, quality food. Would recommend.

10/10 for service and food this evening at the britannia marlow. Exceptional service from Natalie, making the extra efforts to cater for our requests, continuously with a smile. Food was fresh, hot and delicious. Will definately be back and recommend to others.

The staff are very attentive, very friendly and my food was absolutely amazing! They suggested some of the food they like and it was a good choice at that! I would recommened coming here for a light bite or even a full meal. Big thank you to jessica on the bar, who was very helpful with pairings of food and beverages!

My friend took me to the restaurant for a special birthday. I ordered pizza it was amazing not too stodgy and very light but filling. Can’t remember what my friend ordered but she liked it too. The lady that took our order was very attentive her name was Kelly there was another waitress that checked to see if everything was ok. It was a busy night there were two big tables next to us but we didn’t feel intimidated and were well looked after. Thank you for a lovely evening to remember for my birthday x Ps dessert was fantastic

Really superb food and excellent service.... we came here for Friday Lunch and my cheese Souffle with a Compte sauce and fish Parmentier were delicious... the Souffle was actually one of the best I've ever had… Very light and airy but rich in taste and the source complimented it beautifully.... the herbs and garnishes finished the dish delicately. My husband had the Tartare followed by the beef cheek and both were superb. The staff were also very warm and friendly without being intrusive The lovely young guy that brought us a glass of champagne because my husband had let them know it was our anniversary, was full of life and energy.... almost willing us to have a happy time ... so refreshing! My husband had booked a fine dining restaurant for the evening which was lovely, but we both concluded that the food at this place was infinitely better. Keep doing what you're doing ... this place truly resembles a little corner of France

Overall the food was good but it was very disappointing for our veggie granddaughter who chose the cheese fondue!!! It was unavailable for a 7pm reservation. This is not acceptable especially as this is a specially advertised item… However the steaks were tasty and cooked to our requests… The service was good, better than it often is at lunchtime…,

Told I wasn't welcome as I'd already bought a main course (earlier in tne evening) in The Ivy round the corner. How the Pakistani manager knew where I'd eaten earlier was beyond strange. But for him to actually say his team had been following diners in The Ivy was even more strange. Still took my money (after abusing me) despite his staff knowing where I ate earlier. Food after all of the above wasn't even worth the money ... & i say this as a kashmiri whose grown up eating the food that restaurant's supposed to serve. Awful misogynistic service & equally awful generic (made for the korma) curry! I'd avoid it like the plague, unless of course that's what I was trying to catch !

Louis and sam behind the bar are nothing but a delight, they made me feel at home without it seeming fake and for the tip. Dan on the door is also the highlight of my night. They balance the cheekineess and professionalism to a T. I feel at home and excited to put through an order. 10/10 wouldn't recommend anywhere else for a night out in marlow!

Didn't include all items that were ordered. Driver shrugged his shoulders and walked away.

We came to Marlow for a stroll along the River and popped in here for a drink and a nice Roast but it seems they had run out of Roast's to be fair it was 3pm . We had the fish and chips and it was OK I felt the chips were dry and looked like they had been fried twice and the fish was over cooked. The atmosphere was pleasant but not welcoming and the staff were generally OK but I would not rush back.

A Masterclass in Mediocrity: A Cautionary Tale from The Hand of Flowers We recently visited The Hand of Flowers in Marlow to celebrate my partner’s 60th birthday — a milestone occasion that we had hoped to mark with something truly special. What we received instead was an experience so deeply underwhelming, so bereft of imagination, and so riddled with pretension that it left us questioning whether the Tom Kerridge brand has simply become a machine for monetising celebrity rather than delivering quality. Let’s start with the menu. (Which we had to read from a tablet as the can’t afford to write out on proper menu cards) We chose a three-course set menu. However, with just two choices per course is not fine dining — it’s a lazy offering dressed up in self-importance. The fact that both the stater & the mains involved mini pastry pies speaks volumes about the lack of creativity coming out of the kitchen. A Michelin-starred establishment..? It felt more like a rudimentary pub lunch than the elevated cuisine you’d expect from a place bearing such accolades. Worse still, the quality of the food was shockingly poor. Overly rich, uninspired, and plated without any flair — it was culinary monotony at its most expensive. The dessert, if it can even be called that, was the final insult. Unmemorable, uninspired, and utterly joyless. It felt like something knocked up at the last minute, with no attention to detail or interest in delighting the diner. For a venue supposedly at the pinnacle of British pub dining, the lack of effort was staggering. But the food was only half the disaster. The service? Aloof and tinged with an arrogance that suggested we ought to be grateful simply to be seated there. One waiter snatched the napkin ring from the table with such haste and suspicion you’d think we were planning to pocket it. The overall attitude of the front-of-house team reeked of entitlement — as though the reputation of the restaurant absolved them from having to make any effort toward hospitality or warmth. The atmosphere was cold, the experience transactional, and the staff seemed entirely disinterested in whether guests were enjoying themselves. It’s hard to shake the sense that Tom Kerridge and his team are simply trading on his name — banking on the public’s goodwill and affection while delivering a product that’s light-years away from its marketing. If they think this is Michelin-star standard, they’re either deluded or laughing at the customers all the way to the bank. The truth is, there are thousands — yes, thousands — of countryside pubs across the UK serving better food, with more charm and genuine hospitality, at a fraction of the price. The Hand of Flowers is a case study in what happens when complacency meets commercial exploitation. It’s a rip-off wrapped in PR. To those considering booking, don’t. Save your money. Go somewhere that still cares about food, service, and customer experience. The Hand of Flowers is not that place. Tom Kerridge and his team should hang their heads in shame. They’ve forgotten what it means to earn loyalty — and more importantly, they’ve clearly stopped caring..

Where to start! This experience delivered on every level. We booked the Sunday package, an overnight stay in the Beautiful Mallard in Duck Terrace, dinner at the Coach, breakfast and lunch at The Hand & Flowers. We arrived and were driven to our room, what a beautiful spot, everything you need & a hot tub. Just off the High Street so perfect location for a wander. Also nod to the driver who was an absolute gent! We were booked into the Coach for 8:15pm and had the bar stools overlooking the kitchen/ pass & what a touch this was! In our opinion the perfect seats & the most amazing dining experience. The staff were faultless, Matthew sorted us out with an exceptional bottle of wine based on our preference as to what we'd usually order & it didn't disappoint. A Norfolk wine and my new favourite! Rich was on the pass and the interaction was spot on, great recommendations & a joy to watch the art of the craft in action- along with Zavo & Nico it was absolute perfection in the kitchen. The food- where do I start? 8 small plates and when I thought the next couldn't be any better they just kept on coming & exceeded any expectations we'd had. It was lovely to be able to ask the gents what they liked & what the favourites are & the recommended dishes were on point! I honestly wouldn't change a thing about our night at The Coach. The pirates are an absolute credit to the establishment & we are really grateful for the wonderful atmosphere they created. The Hand & Flowers was also an absolute delight, breakfast was incredible, that bacon was without a doubt the best we've eaten! Lunch was just gorgeous, I had the soup and the trout and I'd happily eat those every day! Again the staff couldn't do enough, so attentive and welcoming! If you read a bad review I honestly don't understand why, from arriving to leaving we have had the best experience & would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a treat! The Coach you have our hearts, what a way to kick off our break and finish off my husbands birthday celebrations!

We haven’t been for a while but the £1 pizza offer drew us in. It was very good value we chose the thin pizzas and paid a small supplement but well worth it…. Recommend. The lone waiter was friendly and b helpful.

Lina was lovely and made us feel so welcome. She makes amazing fish and chips and is such a positive person. Worth every penny :)

I don't often post negative reviews but this costa is rather gloomy and dark with no atmosphere. The tables were grubby and it just felt soulless. It was also half empty. My daughter and I went in as she wanted to buy our pet a puppuccino which the staff kindly gave to us.other than that I suggest you try another of the many other coffee shops in the High street of the picturesque little town.
