    The restaurant had a beautiful view of the Marlow bridge and weir. All the staff were excellent particularly Caldwell who went out of his way to make our visit special. Will definitely visit again.

    Nice setting, Service helpful and friendly. Quality of afternoon tea food OK, scones were excellent, clotted cream OK but small quantity, although extra was supplied on request, Strawberry Jam poor quality, it was strawberry jelly and not jam. Selection of teas was good and quality of tea was good. We were not been made aware that a 12.5% service was to be added. we assumed that £40 per person included the service. Still believe that £40 per person for an afternoon tea was too much for what we got.

    The Complete Angler is right on the river. Amazing position, great grounds and good food. Could do with more disabled parking places. We struggled to park.

    Afternoon Tea at the Compleat Angler Beautiful location on the Thames looking across to the bridge and church in Marlow. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The scones and little cakes were lovely. The sandwiches could have been a little more imaginative. The choice of teas was very good. I think for the price I expected more 'afternoon-tea-finesse'. Small things like changing side-plates and knives after the sandwiches had been eaten seemed a basic need. Preparing your scone on a plate with egg on it and spreading cream on the scone with pickle on the knife is not ideal. Overall a good experience but let down by small details.
