Latest review:

If you are looking for the perfect blend of a cozy, welcoming British pub and top-tier, Michelin-caliber gastronomy, The Oarsman absolutely nails it. My wife were on a day visit to Marlow in May 26. We stopped in for dinner and were blown away from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—sophisticated and beautifully designed, yet completely relaxed and unpretentious. Whether you're in jeans or dressed up for a special occasion, you'll feel right at home. The food was absolutely sensational. The seasonal, sustainable menu features incredibly clever twists on classic dishes. The execution was flawless—everything from the starters to the mains was packed with distinct, vibrant flavors. The service was attentive knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly without being overbearing. Marlow has plenty of great dining options, but The Oarsman stands out by delivering incredible quality with a wonderfully warm, community heart. We will definitely be back—highly, highly recommended!
