What an eventful afternoon! A delayed start followed by a false start too as we prepared to show our first ever live sporting event on our big screen. The Grand National at Aintree.

As you can imagine, the atmosphere was a little different to our Boutique Cinema nights, with people bringing in their tickets from the bookmakers and taking part in our sweepstake. The stakes were definitely high.

Times were tense right up until the finishing line with Neptune Collanges finally winning, pipping Sunnyhillboy at the post in the closest finish in Grand National history.

Without transforming into a sports bar, we’re planning on showing some of our favourite sporting occasions on our big screen, from the Wimbledon Final to England’s matches in the Euros. So keep an eye out for our upcoming events.

In the meantime, it’s back to normal tonight with Antosh stepping into the Secret Bookshelf for a night of funk, soul, grooves, disco and a little bit more.

And don’t forget… It’s Quiz time this Wednesday!!!

It seems the spring heatwave may be coming to a close with cooler weather predicted for next week, but don’t panic, there’s still plenty of things going on in the bar and you can still sit out in our beautiful garden under the large heated umbrella.

We’ve been really busy coming up with new ideas, and this month sees the launch of our signature Clayton’s Burger, a homemade delicious beef burger, in a crispy toasted bun, with lashings of toppings available, and a grilled halloumi, aubergine, and guacamole burger, both served with our hand-cut jacket fries. We can’t wait to let you try them…

Next Sunday is Easter Sunday, and what better way to lose the pounds you put on with the chocolate easter eggs than to dance it off, with a host of DJs playing sounds in the bar from 8pm until 1am. It’s going to be a great party in the bar in Marlow!

The week after that is Britain’s favourite horse racing event, the grand national, from aintree, and we’ll be showing it live in the bar on our 85” projection screen, and having a sweepstake for all our customers.

And before we forget, if you’re stuck thinking what to do on Mondays well think no more, we have our boutique cinema, where you can relax with a drink and something to eat on one of our comfy sofas (see http://www.marlowbar.com/films to check what’s on  and to see previews)

We look forward to seeing you at the bar soon
