Rick Stein’s Marlborough restaurant brings a taste of Cornwall to the heart of Wiltshire
Our restaurant at the heart of historic Marlborough is quite different to our others. The Grade II listed building comprises various cosy dining rooms split over two floors, a space we proudly bought back to life in 2016. The menu is, of course, a celebration of what we do best, fresh fish and shellfish treated with the utmost respect and skill by our chefs – prize catch like Dover sole, Cornish lobster and scallops take pride of the place for guests to experience with a glass or two of White Burgundy that Charlie strongly recommends.
SUMMER OF SHELLFISH
Since 1975, our restaurants have celebrated a selection of fresh shellfish from British shores. From prized catch landed in Cornwall like lobster and crab to nostalgic seaside favourites like cockles and whelks. We believe that quality comes first, which is why this summer we’re celebrating shellfish, the local fishermen and the skills of our expert chefs. Here’s what dishes you can find at Marlborough:
- Cockles poulette sauce with Hoxton sourdough
- Crab and Gruyère tart with mixed leaf salad
- Grilled Cornish lobster with fines herbes, thin cut chips and salad
Stop in on your way home from work, join us to catch up with friends, or start your evening out in the sun with a glass Champagne and fresh oysters before joining us in the restaurant – sounds fab.
From Wednesday to Sunday, join us outside or at the bar for six oysters and two glasses of Veuve Clicquot Champagne for £50.
Look forward to experiencing our set menu, 2 courses for £28.50 or 3 courses for £33.50, dishes include Rick’s popular seafood favourites like grilled mackerel with freekeh salad, deep-fried cod stuffed with pesto butter and gooseberry fool.
Available Wednesday to Friday 12pm – 3pm.
Please note this menu is not available while other set menus, including charity lunches, are running.
