The space
The Two Brewers sits on Saint Peter Street, close enough to the suspension bridge to know what Marlow is about, and far enough from The Hand and Flowers to attract a different kind of drinker. The interior is dark wood, low ceiling, a bar that occupies the centre of the main room and creates the natural gathering point. Dogs are welcomed at all times; children until 8pm.
What to drink
The cask ale range is four to five at any time, rotating through a programme that favours Buckinghamshire and Berkshire breweries alongside the national microbrewery output. Condition is reliably good. The pricing is fair for a Marlow pub - slightly above Essex equivalents, reflecting the cost structure of the Thames Valley, but not exploiting the tourist positioning of the town.
The verdict
The Two Brewers is what Marlow needs it to be - a place where locals drink before and after the gastropub circuit, where dogs are welcome, and where the quality of the beer is taken seriously as an end in itself rather than as a sideline to food. It is the last stop on a good day in Marlow and would be better known if it were anywhere less immediately overshadowed by a two-Michelin-star gastropub at the end of the same street.

The most famous pub in England: two Michelin stars in a building that still looks, from the outside, like a pub.

The Ship does not compete with The Hand and Flowers - it does not need to, and it does not try to, and it is the better for both.
