Located on the banks of the River Thames with unparalleled views of the Marlow Weir in the heart of Buckinghamshire. 

Izaak Walton is believed to have written his world-famous book on angling in and around Marlow in 1653 and it is from this book that the name of the Inn was later taken.

 The Compleat Angler was always a very popular and fashionable place frequented by the artists and intellectuals of the period – Edgar Wallace, Dame Nellie Melba, J M Barrie, Phil May the famous Punch artist, Scott Fitzgerald, Noel Coward, Nancy Mitford, Tallulah Bankhead plus many others.

Marlow is now well known amongst foodies and the quality of the food here is no exception. Sindhu by Atul Kochhar, from Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar or the Riverside Restaurant, for outstanding food and quality service not to mention breath-taking views across the River Thames. The town is also home to Tom Kerridge’s internationally renowned Hand & Flower. The first pub to be awarded two Michelin stars.

On Thursday 24th June 1999, The Compleat Angler made history when Her Majesty the Queen ate out for the very first time at a public restaurant outside London  – albeit at a private function.
