2026-02-06T13:03:22Z

Clear your diary (and loosen your waistband): Pub in the Park is swaggering back to Higginson Park, Marlow from 14–17 May 2026.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish my weekends had more Michelin stars and less microwave meals”, this is your moment.

The Chef Line-Up

This year’s culinary cast reads like the greatest hits of your favourite radio station (but with better snacks):

• Si King – hearty, no-nonsense food and northern charm you can practically butter.
• Raymond Blanc OBE – culinary royalty bringing finesse, flavour and the sort of dishes you’ll talk about for weeks.
• James Martin – big flavours, big energy, and a masterclass in making food look far easier than it is.
• Tommy Banks – Michelin-starred brilliance with a proper seasonal soul (and yes, The Abbey Inn is coming with him).
• Matt Tebbutt with wine wizard Helen McGinn – expect laughs, knowledge and at least one moment where you nod like you totally understand tannins.
• Atul Kochhar – modern Indian flavours via local favourite Kanishka, returning to spice up Marlow in the best possible way.

Restaurants You’ll Be Queueing For (And Happily So) 🍽️


Returning fan favourites include:

• The Oarsman – elevated pub classics done properly
• The Star Inn – legendary for a reason
• Ginger Wings – cult wings that should come with a warning label
• The George & Dragon (Raymond Blanc) – British pub food, but make it iconic
• Rick Stein – coastal vibes, outrageously good seafood, zero regrets

Brand New on the Menu for 2026

• Six by Nico – playful, imaginative plates that make you feel fancy
• Oxmoor Farm – straight-from-the-field flavour bombs
• Tommy’s Pie Shop – comfort food royalty
