Customer Review Summary
Reviewers keep coming back for the Chinese kitchen tucked inside this pub, with the Singapore noodles and satay chicken singled out as favourites and one diner calling it the best Chinese food they've eaten. Close behind is the live music, praised as energetic and contagious, alongside karaoke nights, sport, and a beer selection that reviewers rate highly. Several mention the pub hosting parties well, citing a marquee birthday event where staff and the landlord were credited with making the night work. Door staff are noted for making customers feel safe. The one recurring complaint is a chef change that one reviewer says turned previously balanced, flavoursome Chinese dishes into what they described as "beige food." Another notes it can be hard to get a seat on busy karaoke nights, though most describe returning regularly for the same food and live entertainment.

- Peter Sones
“A proper gem of a pub, with excellent beer, sport, live music and a Chinese restaurant. What's not to like?”
- Dave Cook
“Great Boozer which promotes live music, a stones throw away from the centre of Marlow. I've been going here for years and it never disappoints. The kitchen serves Chinese food to eat in or Takeaway. The food is good, but not as good as my favourite Chinese Takeaway Hanwah, Ross Road Maidenhead.”
- Stoyan Nikolov
“Good place for a pint and bite. Live music every now and then. Outdoor seating area. Good Chinese food if you want to have dinner.”
