Day 1

Journey to Marlow & Dinner at The Riverside Restaurant
We travel in luxury aboard our VIP coach as we make our way to the culinary capital of Marlow in Buckinghamshire. En route, our host will serve drinks and nibbles and our driver will make a stop at a place of interest, such as Windsor or Henley on Thames, where you will have some time to explore.

On arrival we will have a refreshing cup of tea/coffee and be warmly greeted and welcomed to the hotel. We then have time to relax and take in our glorious surroundings before our first gourmet experience.

THE AWARD-WINNING RIVERSIDE RESTAURANT
Tonight, the team at The Compleat Angler's signature restaurant is going to delight us with a special menu, created exclusively for our tour, along with a glass of wine to complement the meal. Under candlelight, we will savour a memorable fine dining experience as we witness the gleaming reflection on the waters of Marlow Weir while sampling sumptuous takes on classic British dishes.

Bursting with the flavours of each season, expert chefs prepare our meal using the finest, sustainably sourced ingredients as we sit back in a conservatory setting and admire views of the River Thames.

Day 2

Marlow, A Cocktail Masterclass & Dinner at Sindhu

After breakfast, we have time at leisure to explore Marlow. The river plays such a prominent role in Marlow that it's almost impossible to resist spending time on it - and it couldn't be easier from The Compleat Angler.

Located just outside the hotel is the stunning Marlow Bridge rebuilt in the 19th century by engineer William Tierney Clark and remains as one of only two of his structures still in full operation today.

Once across, the bustling town is fun to explore and full of little cafes and boutiques. From the hotel, it's a short walk to the beautiful Higginson Park, where from its river frontage, you can take a boat cruise or you may be able to spot a present or future Olympic rower.

In the opposite direction, Marlow Lock (first constructed in 1773) can be reached in 10 minutes via a pleasant route that takes in the striking All Saints church.

In the afternoon, we reconvene in our hotel's atmospheric Walton Bar. Named after Izaak Walton, author of the hotel's namesake novel The Compleat Angler, this was once a favourite haunt of T.S. Eliot and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Here we are treated by an experienced mixologist to a cocktail making masterclass. We learn about the art and science of cocktail making…and, of course, partake in a tasting session. We then have time to ready ourselves before our second epicurean delight.

SINDHU BY TWICE MICHELIN STARRED CHEF ATUL KOCHHAR
Sindhu celebrates the very best of traditional Indian cuisine in a contemporary manner. The menus feature ever evolving regional dishes that are prepared using rich Indian spices and the finest British sourced ingredients.

All this in a beautifully designed space with breath taking views across the Thames and a glass of wine to relax with. The result is a totally unique and innovative style of modern Indian cuisine.

Day 3

Following breakfast, and fully sated from two days of fine dining, we leave Marlow. The VIP experience continues though, onboard our luxury coach as we wend our way home. The hotel will be sending us home with a selection of delicacies prepared by their chefs. And our driver will make a stop at a place of interest, such as Marlborough, where you will have some time to explore before we complete our journey home.
