Welcome To
The Oarsman

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

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 and 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, enjoy 2 courses for just £22.50 or 3 courses for £26.

Sundays, extended

We’re giving Sundays a little more time.

After lunch, stay for live music from 4pm–6pm in the bar, or out on the terrace when the weather allows. A glass in hand, something from the snack menu, good company and nowhere in particular to be.

Sunday lunch reservations are open until 4pm.
Or feel free to simply join us for a drink, and see where the afternoon takes you.
