Tom Kerridge and The ONLY 2 Michelin Star Pub in The World : The Hand & Flowers

Join Tom Kerridge and head chef Tom De Keyser at the renowned Hand & Flowers in Marlow, the world's first two Michelin-starred pub, as they make two extraordinary dishes: a tart of cured beef, mushroom & oyster with marmite rarebit, dried seaweed, and tabasco salt, followed by a coffee-crusted loin of venison served with a long pepper muffin, caramel poached pear, blue cheese walnuts, celery & lovage purée, and a tangy sour blackberry sauce. The pub has been open for over 20 years and is one of the very few two Michelin star restaurants in the UK.

Used to deliver the cooking oil to his pub in marlow... genuinly nice guy .. we used to chat about him being on great british menu all those years ago on bbc... really happy for his success 🙌

[@DanielOlivierArgyle]

Looks amazing. Thanks for taking the time to show us while you're busy.

[@reecenorton5292]

So refreshing to see a Michelin star restaurant serving nice big, hearty portions for a change!

[@Thestaffcanteen]

Agree

[@CJ.1998X.Y.Z]

I haven’t been to hand and flowers but have been to his Grill which has much of his menu from when HF was 1 star. Best meal I ever had. Tom keeridges bar and grill is in my personal opinion the best restaurant in the world.

[@dellboid]

I love that Venison dish. It's really simple in its concept and relies heavily on just good honest nice cookery and has this really logical approach to all the elements on there to balance the whole dish altogether. The kind of thing you'd want to get every element piled onto the fork evertime you enjoy a mouthful. Bravo chef!

[@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511]

i didn't get the long pepper muffin

[@Michael-wq7kx]

Wonderful to see the ingredients being the feature of presentation of the dishes. Very MPW but never a bad thing at all. Love food without all the BS garnishes! Well done! Lots of food love from🦘🦘🦘Aussie!

Eaten there three times. Good grub. If you stay in one if the cottages the breakfast and general service is great.

It is all held to a very high standard...impressive stuff thanks for the comment!

[@josephpalmer2903]

Love to see venison in higher end restaurants. Down here in south Mississippi we cook a lot of deer and I always love seeing new ways to include it or prepare it in meals. Couldn't tell for sure but that looked like the backstrap he was using. Incredible soaked in buttermilk then chicken fried and served on a bed of rice and gravy

[@Thestaffcanteen]

Sounds great!

[@liamwright2510]

I would have thought Venison is too lean to deep fry and would go dry but I’m sure it works.

[@CatCat-v5g]

​@@liamwright2510 It is way too lean to deep-fry. Terrible choice of cooking style. Completely changes the integrity of the meat.

[@user-im-65]

Mouthwatering

[@russellanderson1311]

I have been to both, the hand and flowers and the fat duck with my wife. We felt very underwhelmed at both. We have come to the conclusion that atmosphere and location are as important to us as the food itself. When you pay almost £300 for, kinda average food, in a dark corner of a quite pub, it just doesn't sit that well.

[@giggstrafford1]

Loving the marmite....

[@fhgu8051]

That pan he cooked in at around 6:20 looked nasty with all that built up grime on the sides but the food on the plates looked amazing.

[@paddybolger1967]

Why does the dishes not look hot ?are they room temperature??

[@Ornette14]

We went last November and had both those dishes - I'd completely forgotten about the beef tart which didn't stick in the memory, as some dishes do. Very expensive - £175 for three courses, plus an ordinary sausage roll, seen briefly at 0:13 and some bread. In my view it is not 2*. I've had many better meals in 1* places.and a recent meal in Opheem, Birmingham (2*, also £175) was miles better. Ordinary ingredients and nothing you wanted to eat again. Hard to see value. The venison was 'lots of things on a plate' and we didn't feel they combined into anything memorable. Service was average - I asked for a glass of white wine and they brought red.

[@adamg.manning6088]

I’d be very interested in what you actually asked for.

[@Ornette14]

@@adamg.manning6088 You mean the wine? As I recall (the wine list is not online) the was a 'wine of the month', red and white. I asked for the white (South African, I think) and was brought red.
