    The wine list here changes weekly, runs to more than 300 bottles, and groups everything by style rather than region, which tells you something about the priorities. This Marlow gastropub holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and takes its food seriously too, with a daily-changing menu of bistro dishes from an open kitchen and small plates from a charcuterie counter. The part-brick, part-timbered room has an enclosed terrace and the kind of midweek pricing that makes the whole thing feel almost reasonable.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
