I grew up around High Wycombe and used to frequent the Old Crown in Skirmett...sadly now a private house. Despite living in Shepherds Bush at the time...the Old Crown and the wonderful grumpy Peter (the landlord) was my real local. He could abuse one with style...and still serve an excellent pint of Breakspears, and his long suffering wife Liz, was a marvel in the kitchen. So we'd stopped in the overblown Hand & Flowers in Marlow that couldn't or wouldn't serve us a pint at 12.15...come back at 14.45 was their suggestion, and as it was full of BMW driving Buckinghamshire hedge fund types and their loud kids...we voted with our feet and left to find somewhere else. I then remembered reading about how the Stag & Huntsman had been given a make over...and my lord does it work! The place still has individual rooms to drink in, for food our two bowls of roast tomato soup hit the spot and the beer was excellent. I must also commend the staff in particular a young lady (Claire?) who was very competent, organising the staff, taking phone calls and generally keeping the who place toddling along. Her customer care skills in person or on the phone got a 10/10. We sat, supped and relaxed for a couple of hours reading the Saturday papers, and we left wishing that the US could do pubs.....but it can't! Next time we plan to stay once the bedroom door isssue I read about on TripAdvisor have been fixed.

I couldn't recommend this place more!

This glorious country inn goes back 400 years and there are many aspects that contribute towards it…read morebeing the jewel of Berkshire pubs. Here are just three: First of all, its location. Deep in the woods somewhere between Maidenhead and Henley, its sylvan setting is a wonderful place to be in the summer. In the winter, a cosy log fire make it equally attractive. I have taken guests from Germany, the U.S. and Italy there and all have been amazingly impressed. Bubbly ladies serve an excellent pint. As for the food, I quote their website: By mixing traditional fare with some more exotic offerings, dining at the Dew Drop will always satisfy the taste buds. Classic offerings such as Steak and Ale (Brakspears of course) Pie and Home-made Fish Pie made from fresh cod , smoked haddock and king prawns, are complemented by the varying Daily Specials - dishes such as Sweet and Sour Battered Chicken or Wild Mushroom Stroganoff are just some of the temptations on offer. The Dew Drop also has one or two more surprises for those walking the culinary pathway; Thursday evenings see the latest port of call in the Dew Drop's voyage around the world of food, as Thursday is International Cuisine night; and talking of ports, we mustn't forget Dave the Fish, who on Friday brings the best quality freshly caught Cod all the way from Grimsby, so that diners at the Dew Drop can feast on fresh Cod in Brakspear Batter and chips. I don't usually eat fish and chips much these days. Our local chippies are not what they used to be and you usually need 6 Rennies for pudding. But here they do a lovely delicate batter and I am getting addicted. Negative aspects? None really. It's right in the middle of bloody nowhere, so don't expect to 'stumble' across it: instead, see the website for the map. Ramblers use the pub, so it's fine if you ramble. Otherwise, you would need to drive. But not necessarily! They are smart enough to run a shuttle service around the local area for non-ramblers (see also website). I have never heard of a pub in the U.K. doing that, and neither so it seems has Mr. Google. Superb establishment: I'd book at the weekend.

En route to Two Brewers I accidentally stumbled onto Marlow's charming main streets. Filled with…read moreshops and pubs and award-winning restaurants, it was hard not to scrap my original plans. I left the main street though, making my way towards Two Brewers, comfortable with the idea that if it wasn't what I wanted, I'd just return to the hub of town. Then I made my way down a quiet street, past an old cemetery in an even older churchyard. I continued on, noticing the little lights that stood outside buildings older than my last few generations of ancestors. Two Brewers stood at the end of this road, announcing itself as "the oldest pub in Marlow". With its comically low ceiling in parts I can only assume that past generations were Lilliputian. I came only for alcohol but the gastropub menu soon called my name. Two Brewers serves really delicious food if the Chickpea & Spinach Curry (£9.95) and the Steak & Ale Pie (£11) were any indicator. While enjoying these dishes and accompanying brews, Two Brewers grew livelier, filled with locals, and before long one stood beside my table. "I saw you on the train today. How'd you wind up here?" he asked, baffled. His comment and the conversation which followed solidified my hunch that I'd successfully found a spot that the tourists don't usually find. I wore it like a badge of pride. When in Marlow, take the time to seek out Two Brewers. It's a bit off the beaten path but you can be back to that path in minutes. I doubt though that you'll have any reason to do so.

Only about a couple of dozen other people there when we arrived at 9pm so plenty of room and no problem finding a seat. Half the people there around a table in the conservatory area playing cards and that looked like fun. Would best describe this as an old traditional pub with low beamed ceilings and picturesque little windows. Well worn, lived in look to the place made it feel homely. No piped music either which was nice change. Good draught selection and wine for the ladies came in 30ml mini bottles which was nice and not to expensive either. The fact that it was so quiet on a Friday is a bit ominous and probably a reflection of the times so don't expect it to be around for long which would be a shame.
