I'm surprised by last summer's comments. I have been here several times in the last few weeks and have found it to be a lively, friendly well heeled place with a reasonable range of ale, well kept and at a reasonable price (in a Marlow sort of way). The staff are very attentive and the clientele mainly couples. Plenty of space for drinking and socialising and plenty of restaurant space too. Lots of tables outside for summer evenings. Three niggles if I may. The several bar stools encourage barflies. Amazing how just three men can spread themselves out on stools to completely hog 40% of available serving area. My next niggle is the smell of cooking or hot fat from the kitchen which permeates throughout the whole bar, somewhat spoiling my beer. Finally, the scent of disinfectant from the conveniences is a bit intrusive too. So, remove the odours and the barflies and this would be a top notch bustling little pub. I'll continue to drink there, regardless.

I agree Muntjac - it's gone seriously downhill

Try the Donkey for honest grub and the recently re-opened Chequers for a bit of town life

Oh dear what has happened here. I have tried to give it a go but the Two Brewers, the local I loved, is gone. It has been replaced by seriously surly staff, customers without shirts and to be honest poor food. The beer was still good quality. That is about all I can say.

Old pub not far from the river dating from 1755, it is alleged Jerome K Jerome penned part of Three Men in a Boat here. As befits age, low black and white beamed ceilings, wooden floors, seating is settles with cushions plus open backed wooden chairs at a mixture of cast iron three legged tables and the occasional longer wooden table. The front area, clearly once seperate, now seems to be the dining space although no one using it at 5pm on the day of my visit.
A couple of fireplaces, some old pictures of the area and river and an impressive line of pewter tankards over the bar.
What looks like old stables in the rear yard are now partly converted into another area, I assume for hire or perhaps barbeques and the like.
Rebellion IPA and Mutiny, Pride and Brakspears Bitter.

Fell upon ( not literally ) pub off a boat - it;s the nearest one to the Lock. Visited the pub on Tue 14th July 2009. New landlord had only been in charge for 2 weeks. Service fine - friendly helpful can do staff. 3 or local and natioanl bittters all in good nick. Food a bit priecy - but I guess that's Marlow. It's very food driven - with several dining areas - but still room for drinking. New man very enthusiastic and is only intent on making things evolve better - no substantive changes planned as none needed. Very Good.
Cheers.
