MARLOW TASTES (the Event) is a public event organised by the Rotary Club of Marlow Thames (We, the Organisers) which will take place in various Marlow  restaurants during the evening of Tuesday 25 April 2022. We are a registered charity (Charity Registration Number 1073652) and can be contacted at  info@marlowtastes.menu. 

The purpose of the Event is to raise monies for local and other charities, promote participating Marlow restaurants, and provide an enjoyable culinary  experience for local residents. 

Customers will visit three different restaurants for each of three meal courses, but the name and location of each restaurant and their respective menu  options will only be revealed shortly before the event.
