The Butcher’s Tap and Grill

Lunchtime date and The Mrs loves a burger 😂 only disappointment for her was the skin on fries, so luckily i ate them! Couldn't complain with the burgers we had (classic & special) & staff were attentive. Reasonably cool inside even though it was 30+ degrees outside. Layout is clever, especially the old bar being kept/showing certain meats/steaks etc. One simple advice to people, if you don't like meat, don't go, its not for you! 😂 Thanks guys! 👏👏

Our first time lunching at the Butcher’s Tap & Grill in Marlow and we were impressed! Dropped in for lunch on Sunday. I had the Korean barbecue Chicken burger w/ Parmesan Truffle fries (w/ a pot of smoked Garlic mayo) and my wife ordered the Sunday Roast Pork belly. She is a Sunday Roast connoisseur and said that this was hands down one of the best Roast Pork she’s ever had. The whole Sunday Roast is almost stuffed into a humongous Yorkshire Pudding! Total “show stopper”…and it’s a proper thick cut roll of roast pork belly with amazing crackling (& all trimmings ie- roast potatoes, carrots, creamed cabbage & apple sauce w/ extra gravy!) My chicken burger was pretty impressive too but I’ll admit I was battling a bad case of food envy looking at my wife’s plate! The fries were completely snowed under a blanket of Parmesan shavings and a super rich truffle mayo! Wow! For drinks we had a bottle of Brewdog IPA and Pimms’. Our total bill for 2 was just under £60. We recently moved into the area and are just 10mins drive away…can’t wait to return! Highly recommended. The customer service was lovely too.

A great gastro pub which focuses on meat in its many forms. A carnivore’s dream of a menu with many variations of pub favourites. Truffles fries are worth checking out Friendly staff and draft Guinness.

I had a disappointing and unfriendly experience at this restaurant. My friend and I both ordered medium-rare Bavette steaks. However, when they were served, we immediately noticed a clear difference in color and doneness between the two steaks. I approached one of the staff members and explained that my steak, which I ordered medium-rare, was clearly undercooked and closer to rare, especially compared to my friend’s, which was properly cooked to medium-rare. Instead of addressing the issue politely, the staff member responded by asking, “Is this your first Bavette steak?” — a comment that felt patronizing and made me feel as if I didn’t know anything about steak. The steak was taken back to the kitchen to be recooked, but unfortunately, the situation only worsened. Part of the steak came back overcooked, while another part remained undercooked. It had clearly been quickly seared on too high a temperature, rather than simply further cooked. I raised my concern again, and I believe the manager came over. Rather than trying to de-escalate the situation, she chose to defend the kitchen by stating that all Bavette steaks are cooked to the same temperature. However, it was clear from the appearance and taste that the two steaks were cooked very differently. Overall, I did not feel comfortable being questioned about my experience with steak, and I was disappointed that the staff focused more on defending themselves than on resolving the issue professionally. I feel that this experience was not typical of the one which they wish to give.

Good food, nice spot, music, sports on screens. Food would have scored higher by scotch egg being served hot/cooked fresh & there not being such a gap between stater which came out really quick & main. (Almost had to order another starter as an interim as was getting hungry!) Also would be nice to serve chips in a bowl instead of a cardboard box (Cheapens the meal/makes it feel like a takeaway) Nice concept to sit at the butchers counter however the stools don’t height adjust (I’m not short & struggled)

Loud music, hot (no AC) , messy burger - very far from a relaxing lunch. More like eating in a club. Burger meat was nice. Sauce wasn't great and they had to wrap it all up in foil because it was spilling out all over the place, making it awkward to eat. Shut off the pumping music so people can hear themselves speak, install some AC and try to make a burger that doesn't need a spoon to scoop up everything that's spilled out maybe? Burger is meat, bun, sauce and gherkins. Nothing more.

Unfortunately, our recent celebratory meal at your Marlow restaurant this past Saturday night was quite disappointing. For a family of five, we paid a significant amount for food that didn't meet expectations, and the service was frustrating. While some dishes were good, there were notable issues. My wife's steak, ordered medium-rare, arrived practically blue – barely cooked. The scotch eggs were cold, and the onion rings tasted like processed onion, not fresh. A major letdown was the Korean fried chicken burger. I specifically asked the waiter if it was spicy, explaining it was for my daughter who dislikes spice. He confidently told me it wasn't spicy at all, even stating he was a "korma guy" and didn't like any spice himself. This was completely inaccurate; the burger was indeed spicy, and too spicy for my daughter to eat. The most frustrating part was the handling of the steak issue. When we flagged it to our waitress, she took the plate and disappeared for over 10 minutes. We were seated in the garden and couldn't see where she went. With our kids getting restless, we eventually gave up and left, having paid a considerable sum for a largely unsatisfactory meal. Overall, the quality of the food and the lack of a proper resolution to the steak issue left us deeply underwhelmed.

Loved this place. We were very lucky to sit at the chefs table. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and we were made very welcome. There was even a sausage for Mabel. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.
