The Hand and Flowers Marlow Reviews
Definitely worth the price
From start to finish we felt absolutely cosseted and spoilt. Our room, Angus, was delightfully charming. Gorgeous bed, hot tub in our own little courtyard, perfect for our two small dogs. Courtyard not hot tub! We even had a twinkly fully decorated
We were expecting better!
We were really hoping for some much more. Fantastic, and I mean fantastic food but the service was poor. I’m no raging alcoholic but I don’t expect to have to poor my own wine during the service. We expected to see the ambiance in the pub to di
Amazing!
I booked an overnight stay in Portobello room & dinner at The Hand & Flowers for my husband's 50th birthday. Everything from start to finish was absolutely amazing. The staff were extremely helpful with booking process & sent confirm
1st class food quality and service.
1st class dining. Best quality of food and service. We have tried the classic menu. It was a 3 course meal but definitely worth it. The best bit we managed to shaked hand personally with Tom inside his kitchen. Go to find out who is Tom.
Super.
Superb! From the moment we walked in. Food was exquisite. Highly recommend if you can get there. We all throughly wnjoyed it.
Excellent! We'll be back!
How refreshing to be able to enjoy this standard of food and service in such a congenial setting without having to put on fancy clothes! This was our first visit and, from the outset, the staff were not only super-pleasant and helpful but they seem t
Great experience, great food!
We stayed at one of the Hand &Flowers’ rooms at Duck Terrace, about 10 minutes walk from the pub. Fantastic service to be driven backwards and forwards if you didn’t fancy a gentle stroll, and a hot tub was very much welcome. A brilliant me
2 night day - Fantastic
Just home from a two night stay at the Hand and Flowers - From the minute we arrived the staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. We ate at the Coach the first night choosing 8 dishes between us ( almost tapas style to share) 6 from the ma
Sadly disappointed
We visited for our anniversary lunch and were sadly disappointed. Atmosphere was lacking and I have to agree with previous reviews - my main course was very salty. And I don’t think my starter of mackerel had actually seen any heat prior to being s
First class stay and service
We have stayed here and eaten many times now and it’s always an absolutely amazing experience from the ambience the food and amazing staff with friendly welcoming atmosphere simply amazing. Lots of lovely little touches the attention to detail is s
Two night stay
We thought it was great but there were a few little glitches - can we forgive these? Yes we can! The Coach - we thought we were going for an 8 course tasting menu. We were wrong you choose from 8 dishes and when they arrive share them. This was expla
Ho hum...it was OK
Our dinner was OK but it should have been spectacular. Last visited Mr Kerridge's establishment some 5-6 years ago when it was very busy and very good but it doesn't look like he's spending much time there anymore... nor are the punt
2 Stars, but out of 5
We went to The Hand & Flowers for my partner’s birthday, expecting a special evening worthy of its two Michelin star status. Unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing meals we’ve ever had... My starter was overly salty, and my main
Underwhelming Restaurant
Food and ambiance underwhelming especially for the price paid. Main course over seasoned. Tea was £5.50 and a small coffee £7.50 and tea was a bag in a mug. Not acceptable in this supposed standard of restaurant. On questioning whether tea was Engl
A wonderful evening
There’s a reason this restaurant has an excellent reputation. The service alone is exceptional with amazing food layered on top. We went as part of a birthday celebration and the little details including a birthday card, went a long way to make i
Hmmm.
This experience was the definition of a curate’s egg (and would be getting 3.5 stars if that was possible). Parts of it were superb: the various butters, the bread, the mashed potatoes, the breakfast, the staff and the room. However, parts of it we
Our favourite restaurant for birthdays and special occasions!
I booked a table for my husband’s birthday in April (Easter Saturday) and the restaurant emailed me for my husband’s name for the birthday card. As it was a Saturday we chose from their House Menu (£175 per head) and the choice was amazing. The
Didn't live up to expectations
We stayed for a two night "The Classics" midweek break, the rate included the room, and dinner on both nights at The Hand & Flowers and The Coach. We stayed in Flower Cottage: Limousin, the room is second floor and on the main highstree
Don’t believe the Grumps who have nothing nice to say
A perfect lunch - for my little Brother’s 60th Lbirthday - food was superb, atmosphere good, service friendly and attentive, and a good wine list at reasonable prices for what we had. I can’t fault it at all. It’s seems popular at the moment to
Classic by name, classic by nature
The new “old” dishes returning to the Hand and Flowers Classics menu happened to be too strong a draw to resist. Had such a perfect night enjoying some of the old classics including the pigs head and duck. The hand and flowers remains one of my
A more than suitable way to celebrate
Dinner and overnight stay with breakfastin Whitstable room for our silver wedding anniversary and it was excellent. The check in was prompt, relaxed and friendly - had a GF beer and tea for my wife while we hung out. Dinner was a mixture of incredi
Excellent food after a rocky start
Sat down at table to over loud and unrelaxing piped music . Then had to go through a convoluted and unacceptable process of logging in to WiFi and using a QR code in order to view the menus on a mobile phone. Dreadful - really should not have to do
I’m disappointed .
We stopped by for lunch today, and the experience was terrible. It seemed as though the staff members were intentionally ignoring us when we attempted to get their attention. What should have been a quick set lunch ended up dragging on for almost
Food Sucks
Worst meal we've ever paid for. Would have had more fun --and our stomachs would have thanked us -- just throwing the three hundred pound notes into the Thames. DONT GO!
Poor value - and left with bad backs from awful seating
We had looked forward to trying the Hand and Flowers for many years and finally booked for lunch on our wedding anniversary. The staff were friendly and attentive and after getting to our table we opted for the £175 per person 'House Menu'
A Chateaubriand to Remember (Even if My Date Stole the Spotlight)
Sunday lunch at The Hand and Flowers in Marlow was an experience to remember. I ordered the chateaubriand beef, which was cooked to perfection: tender, melt-in-the-mouth, and rich in flavour. It truly tasted divine. That said, I’ll admit I struggle
Disappointing, costly night that did not meet my expectations
We were really looking forward to finally visiting this much talked about restaurant however having read some of the reviews was also worried and have to say I do agree with quite a few of them. This meal was overall very disappointing On arrival, we
45th Wedding Anniversary treat.
First time at the Hand and Flowers and was a wonderful experience. From our welcome ( special thanks to ADAM who was very courteous and professional ) to our departure,the level of service and attention to detail was outstanding. All the food was de
Unpretentious Michelin 2 star
The interior of this restaurant is clearly a pub. There are two fixed price choices and we opted for the 3 course classic (£95 pp) vs. the house menu (£175) which has more options. As a rather large amuse bouche they brought us a sausage pastry

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Hand and Flowers Marlow at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Hand and Flowers Marlow page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at The Hand and Flowers Marlow to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Hand and Flowers Marlow!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
