Originally named Merivale Flats and built in 1938, Marlowe's story began almost a century ago. It's easy to imagine the good silver polished before dinner parties, lamb roasts filling the hall on Sundays, and an extra plate always set for a neighbour.
Today, Marlowe carries on that same timeless spirit of hospitality — good company, generous plates of food, and great local wine, shaped by dishes we grew up eating and reimagined for the table we set today.
The best meals happen when you're not watching the clock. There's always room for one more.
