Welcome To
The Oarsman

A Contemporary BistroPub & Wine Bar on Spittal Street in Marlow.

For lunch & dinner, our Head Chef Scott Smith serves bistro style, seasonal dishes from the open kitchen and small plates from the charcuterie and larder counter.

We have a strong environmental ethos & support local suppliers where possible using regeneratively farmed produce wherever we can throughout our menu.

We celebrate this farmer led movement encouraging people to eat food produced through regenerative agriculture focusing on soil health biodiversity and sustainably farmed products to support nature, lower environmental impact and re connect food origins. We are working closely with our good friends such as The Ethical Butcher and Lindsay Enders at Chiltern Heritage Orchards among others.

From our 1kg Wing Rib or Pork Tomahawk to the apples in our crumble you will find amazing regeneratively farmed ingredients throughout our menu.

Our Set Menu IS BACK !

Our weekly changing seasonal set menu is back and available from Monday to Thursday for lunch and dinner, enjoy 2 courses for just £22.50 or 3 courses for £26 !

SUNDAY AFTERNOON SESSIONS

We have our new Sunday Sessions at The Oarsman every week with relaxed live acoustic music in the bar every Sunday afternoon from 3pm – 5pm.

We will be open for reservations until 5pm every week so feel free to book, or you are always welcome to pop in for a drink and relax in the bar and enjoy the vibe !
