following on from the thread below re places to eat and drink on the thames I thought I would get the ball rolling and list some of the places I have visited.
Cookham - plenty of mooring places by the riverside path, and great choice of places to eat in the high street. Often eaten in the Bel & dragon, good food and service if a bit overpriced.
The kings arms is fast becoming the better place to eat and drink. Nicely decorated interior and food is similar quality to Bel & Dragon, but is slighlty cheaper.
The Two Brewers - Marlow web page
you can moor up at the end of the street that it is on, or use the park moorings or even the public moorings just down stream from Marlow lock. Very good homemade food.
Hurley - can moor up at either Temple or Hurley lock. Choose of either the Rising Sun (fine for a drink but didn't rate the food) or the Olde Bell Hotel - olde bell - nice little bar area plus the restaurant used to do a great sunday lunch / roast buffet on a sunday (haven't been for a year)
Medmeham meadow - Can moor up anywhere on the meadow and walk up ferry lane to the Dog & Badger. Has got new owners, very nice interior and nice place for a drink. Menu looked good but haven't tried the food yet.
Wargrave - The George & Dragon. Ideal location on the river with its own moorings, or you can walk from Walgrave marshes. Fine for a drink, but on the 2 times that we have eat there, we have had awful food and service - which is a shame, as its owned by the same people who own our local and you can't fault that one.
