Any Forumites from the Harleyford Marina? Just moved there and want to know the best eating joints/takeaways in Marlow and any other gems you may have about the area/marina.

Great thanks, will try them all and let you know (if my liver can cope!) PGD, will look out for you. We are on Manor Island in Melita Too. Moved down from Wargrave. Cracking venue at Harleyford, even in the rain! I heard the Flower Pot was good, but we couldn't get moored due to traffic last year!

Hi SPH, we are also at Harleyford. I would agree with all the other guy's suggestions regarding watering holes.
Our boat will be on West End Stages just across from the island. With any luck she's been put back in the water today.
Will look out for you in the coming season.

If that is the Flowerpot they are talking about, up the top of Ferry Lane, then the last meal I had there was cak. Alright if you want quantity but certainly not cordon bleu.

Interesting garden with strange avian wildlife wandering around, and fascinating collection of fish in boxes on the walls inside. Lots of walkers and cyclists. Food decidedly average last time i was there.

I was at Harleyford today, working on my boat. Lots of other people working on their boats on the hardstanding too. The crane was lifting boats in all day. All this activety must have something to do with our mooring invoices arriving or else getting a few weekends away before the Thames dries up! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I was based at Harleyford for 15 years up until 2004. Things may have changed a little since then but here is a selection of my favourites:
The Bull at Bisham - Over the bridge at Marlow, Spanish restaurant - lovely paella!
The Showboat at Harleyford - family run, converted large Dutch barge, offering drinks on deck and home cooked food
Harleyford Golf Club - bar and restaurant food
Hare and Hounds, Henley Road - log fire
The Dew Drop - near Hurley, lovely outside booth style seating
The Angel pub - Henley waterfront - outside patio and waterside decking
Great end of night pub after taking in a movie at the Henley cinema.
Variety of Take-aways in Marlow including Indian, Pizza and Chinese.
Also a mixture of traditional and gastro style pubs.

Yep, sure enough; boat back in water, invoice through the letterbox complete with newsletter saying Thames will be trickle by May and by the way, leave the hose at home!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Still - she's back in the water, so bring it on!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

The Pub Pheran is talking about at the top of Ferry Lane is the Dog and Badger - I think and yes I heard it was expensive etc.
The flower pot is up river of Hurly Island - Corrected from previous post!!!! on the left, there is a jetty that sticks out, you have to walk up a path - say 10 mins walk. Morings limited, 4 boats if you tie up correctly.
Or drive through Hurly toward Henley to get to it.
I'm in the Marina now, did two years at west end stages - oh you'll love the cross current when mooring /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Show boat changed hands last year - bit more modern now, not ate there yet.
