We spent our anniversary dinner at this place, which has 2michelin stars.
The location is really nice and the restaurant is very cosy and intimate..nothing fancy.
A bit disappointed I'm afraid about the food ...£175 for a 3 course menu(1starter,1main,1desser)...and wasn't even fantastic!!!Very simple dishes!!very good service but our table remained dirty and full of crumbles until the dessert came in.
£7 for an additional coffee at the end.
Honestly we have been in many restaurants in London with 1michelin star and the experience was way more excited and tasty.

Absolutely loved our visit here, for our 24th Anniversary. The food and service was marvellous and all the staff are so nice (and because i dont like cheese, you adapted some of the dishes, very accommodating).
You made us feel very special,  so thank you all 😊

We chose the Set Lunch Menu and it was faultless. Each course was amazing but the standout was the Rabbit Terrine and the House made Sausage Roll.

Each cocktail we tried was superb and well crafted.

The staff were friendly and super attentive from the moment we arrived. Would highly recommend a trip out to Marlow if only just for a meal

The final part of Helen's 40th birthday celebration. A visit courtesy of Adam to the Hand & Flowers. All in all absolutely amazing food. A two star Michelin award winning restaurant. The three course set Sunday lunch menu was terrific - what was really impressive was that having chosen our three courses we were given a taster course or amuse bouche of a humble sausage roll - ha ha - with a mustard sauce but exquisite. The taste was WOW wow. My starter was a very special glazed omelette with haddock and parmesan. The taste, texture and delicacy were absolutely awesome. The main course of pork tenderloin cooked with liquorice+ a malted cheek & potato risotto & accompanying vegetables was exceptional. Dessert was equally amazing and yummy. Banana souffle with vanilla custard was again exceptional. See attached menu photo for thorough description of all the dishes available. The service was very attentive and always present but not in your face and OTT. All the staff were pleasant, polite, very friendly and exceptionally helpful. A once in a blue moon dining experience. Until you experience cooking of this exceptional quality words cannot describe the total experience at the Hand & Flowers. I certainly won't forget it.

Just the most fantastic experience. We booked dinner and stay, two couples. Everything flawless. Dinner and drinks as one can imagine exceptional, the overnight
element was just perfect. The H&F team are amazing. Sometimes it’s nice to try different things but no doubt about it I’d love to eat and stay at Hand and Flowers again. Perfection..
