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. The Organisers will endeavour to organise venues so that as far as possible customers meet new customers at each course. Restaurants will be in Marlow and customers are expected to walk between restaurants from one course to the next.
