The story

Hand and Flowers, Marlow: Two Michelin Star Pub by Tom Kerridge

Proper, bold and unpretentious

Located in the beautiful town of Marlow, The Hand and Flowers is proud to be the first pub with two Michelin stars. From the moment you arrive, the goal is to deliver the ultimate Tom Kerridge experience: relaxed surroundings, welcoming staff, and proper food that is unpretentious yet massively bold in flavours.

The Michelin Guide itself describes the food as "based around pub classics elevated to new heights," noting that "the dishes are among the best in the UK. Characterised by rich, powerful flavours – and the presentation is first-rate." This recognition is woven into every aspect of the experience, from the dining room to the private dining space known as The Shed.

The ethos is simple: quality ingredients, cooked well, and served by a warm, friendly team. The four-course house menu, priced at £195 per person, is available Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, and for Sunday lunch. For those seeking a deeper exploration of the kitchen’s craft, the Seasonal Tasting Menu offers a five-course journey with wine pairings. This Modern British and Seasonal cuisine is built on bold, comforting flavours, with dishes like Duck Liver Parfait with Orange Chutney and Toasted Brioche, or a 30 Day Dry Aged Fillet of Beef with Café de Paris Butter and The Hand & Flowers Chips.

Beyond the main dining room, The Hand & Flowers also offers private dining in The Shed, a space where a chef assembles each dish in front of your party, and a selection of luxurious rooms for those wishing to extend their stay. Whether for a special event or a simple evening out, the welcome is warm, the surroundings are relaxed, and the food is anything but ordinary.
