Marlow House Chef Cooking Dining Room Interior

Rooted in Stamford Stone

Marlow House stands as an elegant landmark on St Mary’s Hill, originally built in 1784 during the peak of Stamford’s historic stone trading era. We’ve lovingly preserved the character of the site, from its limestone walls to its oak hearths.

Our ethos is unapologetically simple: seek out exceptional British ingredients, treat them with basic fire and wood, and serve them with warmth in a space built to last.

"We didn't set out to invent modern food. We wanted to bring Stamford the kind of timeless, wood-fired kitchen it deserved."
