Regional Manager Comments

The Three Horseshoes presents a rare opportunity to start up a business in the hugely popular town of Marlow. This is a superb venture for an experienced food operator to update and build upon the historically good reputation this business has sustained. The pub is well-regarded for the quality of its cask ales, home cooked food and hospitable service, and the new operator will need to uphold this reputation. This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate publican who has knowledge of the local demographics and experience of running a similar establishment.
