The Britannia Large pub to the east of town. Two distinct bar areas - one at the front contains 2 pool tables, and is inevitably a noisier place than the 'back' bar which is a more traditional pub lounge Little Marlow Road , 01628 483852 Visitor reviews

The Chequers [closed since 2008.... currently all boarded up] 51 High Street , 01628 482053 Visitor reviews

Claytons [** RECENTLY RE-OPENED JAN 2010 AFTER CLOSURE FOR 2 MONTHS. NEW REVIEW IMMINENT! THE REVIEW BELOW IS BASED ON THE PREVIOUS OWNERSHIP**] A trendy and stylish bar which also serves cocktails and tapas-style food. Has the extra benefit of being one of the few pubs in town with a late licence at weekends. Can get busy on a Friday and Saturday, when the small bar size means queuing for drinks can be tiresome. Tapas are decent, and quite generous portions. Late License: Fri and Sat until 2am. 16 Oxford Road , 01628 478774 Visitor reviews

The Coach and Horses Small pub, with the bizarre twist of serving Chinese takeaway on the premises, so you can have a beer while you wait, or indeed eat it there. I used to go there every Friday night, but the less said about what I used to get up to on Friday nights 15 years ago the better! Is much quiter now.... West Street , 01628 483013 Visitor reviews

The Cross Keys A busy pub, with a loyal clientele. Big screen sports, and quite often have special events advertised. A pretty lively place. Late License: Fri and Sat until 2.30am. 46 Spittal Street , 01628 482522 Visitor reviews

Marlow Donkey Large pub, though the fact it is a (short) walk from the High Street means it attracts less of the crowds, but stil has a decent buzz. Good range of food, and a huge garden. Family friendly, with chilrden allowed up till 9pm. Has a quiz on Thursdays.. we tried it out and came second. Some of the team names were a bit 'blue', so perhaps dont take your gran (or turn off her hearing aid when the results are announced). Late License: Fri and Sat until midnight. Station Road , 01628 482022 Visitor reviews

The Duke of Cambridge A decent traditional local pub. A short walk from the town centre, but worth it for a change of scene and pace! Queens Road , 01628 484994 Visitor reviews

The George and Dragon Extensively refurbished in Aug 2008, and is a restaurant as much as a pub (see entry in our restaurant section). Going there on a Friday night we were overwhelmed by the very young average age of clientele, not sure if this is normal, so until we revisit we will rely on your comments..... Late License: Fri and Sat until midnight. The Causeway , 0870 1112832 Visitor reviews

O'Donoghues Previously the Carpenters Arms, reopened in April 2009 as O'Donoghues Irish Bar. It's been spruced up inside... and is basically a small pub with a bar, a few barrels which serve as tables and a big TV for the sports. I received a friendly welcome on my first visit, and there was certainly a good atmoshpere in the place... probably still full of the same locals that always kept the Carpenters busy. 5 Spittal Street , (tbc) Visitor reviews

The Plough www.theploughatmarlow.co.uk Under new ownership, and they've made a good job of it! Friendly welcome and atmosphere, decent range of drinks on tap - including local Rebellion beer, Peroni, Guinness and others. Also a cocktail menu, with 2 for 1 between 5 and 8 Thu-Sun. They have good range of events lined up and they are even open for breakfast at the weekend! Quiz night every Tuesday evening starting at 8pm. 3 Little Marlow Road, SL7 1HA , 01628 482442 Visitor reviews

The Prince of Wales Has a very small front bar, and a larger area out the back where food is served. In fact, because the bar is so small it gives the impression of being busy when there are in fact only a few punters. Serves (bizarely for a pub) Thai food, which can also be taken away. Late License: Fri and Sat until midnight. Mill Road , 01628 482970 Visitor reviews

The Queens Head (Little Marlow) www.marlowslittlesecret.co.uk Food served: Mon-Fri: 12pm to 2.30pm and 6.30pm to 10pm Sat-Sun: 12pm to 4pm and 6.30pm to 10pm [review pending!] Pound Lane, Little Marlow, SL7 3SR , 01628 482 927 Visitor reviews

The Royal Oak www.royaloakmarlow.co.uk Considerably enlarged and refurbished in recent years. Most of interior is now a restaurant, where the food is of a very high quality. Decent sized Garden with a 'Petanque' area. My mum was there with some friends who made a reference to the 'Boules' outside, so she became concerned about being savaged by a 'bull' when she left. I'm not joshing. (I suppose it's not that funny so you probably didnt think I was) West Street , 01628 488611 Visitor reviews

The Ship Popular pub with a cosy and traditional wooden beamed front bar, a newer bar out the back and a sizeable, if scruffy, beer garden. The building itself dates from the 16th century. Very popular at the weekend, often queues outside after 10pm. Late License: Fri and Sat until 1 or 2am, depending on how busy they are. West Street , 01628 484360 Visitor reviews

The Slug and Lettuce A spacious pub, attracting a youngish crowd, with a good selection of beers and serving a wdie selection of food all day. Part of a well kown chain, so nothing like a traditional pub... but does a good job in its target market. Late License: Fri and Sat until 12.30am. 82-84 High Street , 01628 478737 Visitor reviews

The Three Horseshoes Just outside of town, past the Marlow Bottom turn on the way up to High Wycombe. Very highly rated for it's Rebellion beers, and extensive food selection. Worth leaving the town centre to visit - just get someone else to drive so you can make the most of that lovely beer! Wycombe Road, Burroughs Grove , 01628 483109 Visitor reviews

The Two Brewers A historic old pub, dating from 1755. Well known for it's food, which is somewhat more sophisticated than your typical "pub grub". Late License: Fri and Sat until midnight. St Peter Street , 01628 484140 Visitor reviews
