The Hand & Flowers

The Hand & Flowers: two-Michelin-starred pub and accommodation in Marlow

The Hand & Flowers is a hospitality establishment located in Marlow, in the county of Buckinghamshire (United Kingdom), which combines a two-Michelin-starred pub and boutique accommodation. The project is led by chef Tom Kerridge and is presented as the first pub in the country to obtain two Michelin stars. Its offering is built around classic but elevated British pub cuisine, with intense flavours and careful presentation, according to the website itself and the quote it attributes to the Michelin Guide.

A signature dining experience

The culinary offering is based on reinterpreted classic pub dishes, with a commitment to quality ingredients and technical execution that the establishment itself describes as "proper, bold and unpretentious". The main menu is a four-course menu at £195 per person, available Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, and on Sundays for lunch only. In addition, from 1 September a new seasonal set menu is introduced with new dishes, available Monday to Friday at lunchtimes and early dinners (from 18:00 to 18:45 Monday to Thursday), at a price of £39.50 for two courses or £45 for three. The website warns that prices may change and that dietary restrictions should be communicated when booking.

Boutique accommodation and experiences

The establishment has rooms described as luxurious and cosy, designed for a British-style stay. The accommodation offering is complemented by packages that combine dinner and stay, such as "The Classics Two Night Stay", which includes a dinner with a classics menu at The Hand & Flowers on the first evening and a dinner at The Coach, its sister one-Michelin-starred pub, on the second evening. Bespoke experiences and personalised stays are also offered, with the possibility of arranging activities in Marlow and the surrounding area.

Private dining and events

The private dining space, known as The Shed, allows meals and events to be organised with menus tailored to each occasion. The company offers to bring its culinary offering to external events, with a wide repertoire of dishes and professional service. The website mentions the organisation of events and the possibility of booking the space for celebrations.

Setting and location

The Hand & Flowers is located in Marlow, a Georgian town on the banks of the Thames, which the website itself describes as a picturesque place to explore. The location is presented as a starting point for luxury stays near Windsor and London, with suggestions for activities and visits in the surrounding area.

Team and company culture

The company refers to its team as "pirates" and maintains a careers page to recruit staff both in the kitchen and front of house. The philosophy it states combines quality ingredients, well-executed cooking and warm, professional service.
