Seasoned Chef Patron Simon Bonwick formerly of the Crown, Burchetts Green and The Dew Drop Inn, in the Forest of Hurley has taken up RESIDENCE, UPSTAIRS at The Oarsman Pub in Marlow, Buckinghamshire

The Award Winning Good Food Guide and MICHELIN Star chef will return to cooking SOLO, Thursday, Friday, Saturday Dinner and including the last Thursday of every month for Lunch.

A choisi menu of six courses will be sent to an intimate “SHARING” table for 14 guests. Nigel Sutcliffe’s leading “phantasmagorical” wine menu at The Oarsman will accompany Chef Bonwicks easily enjoyed Classical Cooking.

Bonwick Said;
Nigel and I have known each other for ages and so he has kindly given me a space to create, hang my ART and make a home for my cooking. We’ve made the Upstairs at the Oarsman into a proper nice little bijou Pad. I’ve a shoe box sized kitchen to cook in totally alone, it’s absolutely magical!

I'm madly excited to be cooking Solo again and looking forward to this challenge, these Soirées promise to be intimate, exclusive and luxurious. The shared table concept is new to me, it’s fascinating, I'm looking forward to see how it evolves.

Bookings are open NOW for Thursday September 5th and onwards call on 07596 517189 we really can’t wait to welcome old and new guests for these exclusive and intimate soirées.

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
