"Our favourite cafe in Marlow, Always consistently great food (I had the Prawn avacado baguette and hot chocolate, and my wife the halloumi salad) only thing I wasn't keen on is the rocket side salad (too bitter for me) but that's just a personal thing and could have asked for an alternative. The baguette was fresh and the avocado was soft prawns great and always enjoy their hot chocolate. Wife loved the salad especially the added hummus and the delicious dressing. The proprietors are friendly and attentive. The cafe is also dog friendly which is always a good thing for us!"

"We visited Sindhu on Saturday with another couple to celebrate my birthday and had the tasting menu with the paired wines, along with cocktails and more wine. Both the food and wine were very good and paired well, although there was no information given on the wine when each one arrived at the table, ie which wine it was, the tasting notes, or how they paired with the respective course (having previously visited Atul Kochhar's other Marlow restaurant, Vaasu, where all this information was given in a very professional manner, we had expected that here too). In fact, the waiter informed us the white wine would be brought to the table shortly and it was in fact a red wine for that particular course! On the whole the service was good, although the food arrived before the paired wine for one course so we had to wait and the food started getting cold. Also with the main course, the wine came out a long time before the food and we had almost finished it by the time the food arrived, so had to order another glass each to enjoy with the food. These are only little points i know, but when you are paying this kind of money you expect everything to be just right. Although we had a great evening overall, if i was going to spend this amount of money on a meal again in Marlow it would definitely be at Vaasu."

"We had the 7-course tasting menu and accompanying wine flight. Our table was booked for 7pm and by 8pm we had already reached the fourth course so we told the waiter to slow things down. We felt it was all very rushed and we weren't enjoying the experience. To his credit, he apologised and the meal did take on a more leisurely pace from then on which improved our enjoyment of the evening. The wines selected were all superb and matched the food very well. As for the food itself, the stand-out courses were the scallop (2nd course), the lamb and venison (6th) and the chocolate fondant (7th). Not so successful in our view were the 1st course of 3 mini snacks which we found unexciting and the monkfish (3rd) where we felt the strength of the sauce overwhelmed the fish, although the fish itself was beautifully cooked. Would we go to Sindhu again? Probably not but we will try Atul Kochar's other restaurant in Marlow."

"We walked in and weren’t greeted for around 5 minutes, we then asked if we could order some breakfast at 10:45 AM, which the waitress replied ‘not sure, you only have 15 minutes’ even though the menus outside stated breakfast was served until 11:30. We then went back outside to decide what we wanted to order, and came back in and again weren’t greeted for a while, it seemed the staff were too busy wanting to chat as it was dead empty and no one else was there to be served. She then came round to the bar and took our order, I asked for a coffee and a pint of water with ice and lemon and then ordered some food. We paid and then the drinks arrived shortly outside which my coffee was then spilt all over the edge and then no water. 20 minutes later our breakfast arrived, missing half of the food and was given no cutlery which we had to then ask for. None of the staff seemed to check and ask how the food and drinks were and when giving us our drinks or food they didn’t even speak just slammed them down on the table. Very poor experience which is a shame as Marlow is such a lovely area. I would avoid this place and check out the other pubs that I’m sure have staff that are willing to serve you and not make it seem like a hassle when customers walk in. Will not be returning."

"One of the oldest coaching inns in England. Cosy venue with low wooden beams, roaring fire, selling food and drinks. Service is good, but can get quite busy and cramped at the bar. But I would recommend visiting for the atmosphere and quiet fire side chats. Service: 4 Location: 5"
