The best restaurants serving British food in Marlow North and West Wycombe South East

We have always received excellent food at the restaurant together with exceptional service & have visited many times over some 20 years the varied menu never disappoints. We would certainly recommend all diners.

Great atmosphere, very cosy. Brilliant value for money and friendly staff.

Busy evening, the staff was very professional and polite, the food was very tasty and well presented, We definitely will be back soon Thanks for all the teams front and back of house

I can’t fault the staff who worked here. They were efficient without being over bearing. It would have been nice if they could have talked us through our dishes as they do at most Michelin restaurants, but this wasn’t a major problem. They were brilliant with allergies so much appreciated. The ambience was pleasant but the food wasn’t worthy of two Michelin stars. A bar snack of fried white bait and bread with butters arrived which were fine- pretty standard pub fare. I had the King Oyster mushroom tart with mushroom rarebit for starter. I wasn’t blown away by this dish- it seemed to consist of a deep fried mushroom in a tart filled with very marmitey rarebit. The overwhelming tastes were oil and marmite which overpowered any other flavours. My husband had duck liver partfait with marmalade and brioche. This was delicious. For main I had the venison loin which managed to hold quite a few complex flavours, I really enjoyed the pepper muffin and the blackberry sauce. My husband had beef chateaubriand but found the overwhelming taste was butter. The table vegetables were ok- the cabbage was dripping with butter which didn’t help my husband’s dish and the roast potatoes were very well cooked but didn’t add any real taste complexity. My dessert was disappointing, I ordered the Toasted Madagascan Vanilla Rice Pudding. It came in two separate dishes, the first seemed to be a ball of rice pudding deep fried with a crust of caramel. Mixed with the apple sauce it was reminiscent of a certain fast food outlet’s apple pie. The overwhelming taste was oil. The hard caramel made it oversweet and the rice pudding seemed lost inside this fried ball. The second bowl had a small amount of rice pudding topped with yet another overly sweet and crunch topping. The vanilla ice cream was nice but the whole thing was overly oil flavoured, stodgy and contained strange hard bits that I presume were the toasted rice. My husband ordered the Chocolate & Cherry Pit Cake with Espresso Butterscotch, Frosted Brazil Nut and Cherry Pit Ice Cream which he felt was nice but not 2*michelin nice. We have eaten in a few one star Michelin places as well as many places which don’t have a star and I can honestly say, there are a lot of meals we enjoyed more than this one. For a two star Michelin restaurant with the price tag, we were disappointed.

Thank you to the team at The Coach for making our little boy's birthday so special tonight :) What do you do when your 11 year old foodie asks for a Michelin star meal as his birthday present? Book The Coach! The team went absolutely above and beyond to make him feel special with so many little extras, gestures and even a little tour of the kitchen - so much more than we expected! The food itself was absolutely wonderful, it was hard to pick a favourite but the hispi cabbage and the onion soup were big suprise hits! Also the chips were literally the best chips I've ever tried in my life. We had 2 plates each and then all just shared which is the best way to get to try lots of different things and, doing it that way, we felt perfectly full despite the dishes being quite small. But it really is the people here that make the experience, every single team member was warm, friendly and really made our evening. This place is an absolute gem - a Michelin star experience that isn't stuffy like some, welcoming to children and fantastic value. We'll definitely be back again in the future and this will be something the birthday boy remembers and talks about for a long long time....
