Maison Roux by Alain Roux

Today, Alain Roux carries that spirit forward in this beautiful house, where elegant bedrooms, exceptional cuisine and the gentle rhythm of the river combine to offer an immersive retreat. Its Three Michelin Stars, held continuously since 1985, have earned a global reputation, yet its heart remains wonderfully personal: a family welcoming you to their table, beside the River Thames, in a place they have devoted their lives to.

Visit for the food, stay for the welcome, and leave with everlasting memories.

Adjacent to The Waterside Inn and the UK's only culinary school attached to a Three Michelin-star restaurant, it boasts a beautiful culinary garden and state-of-the-art kitchen. Under the expert guidance of Chef Instructor Michael Nizzero, with Alain Roux leading selected classes, guests learn and have fun, from perfect pasta and brilliant barbecues to Three Michelin Star cooking techniques. All ages and abilities are welcome, whether alone or with family, friends or colleagues.

Come to learn, stay for the fun, and leave with skills for life.

Settle onto the riverside terrace, meet friends at the Cocktail Bar during happy hour, or dance to Friday live music nights. Whether you're dropping in for a drink or staying for the evening, this is a place to linger, where a love of good food and warm hospitality means the welcome is unmistakably Roux.

Come for the food, stay for the atmosphere, and leave already planning your return.

Whether you are choosing a gift, marking an occasion or simply indulging yourself, you will find the same Roux family heart: a love of good food, craftsmanship, warm hospitality and the pleasure of sharing.

Choose with confidence, and take a little Roux magic home.

From the design of the galleys and dining spaces to the training of the culinary and hospitality teams, Alain is shaping every detail of the culinary experience with the standards, generosity and attention to detail that define The Waterside Inn. Signature fine dining, a pool deck restaurant and bar, in-suite dining and more will be complemented by a wine programme drawing on Alain’s lifelong relationships with France’s great châteaux.

The Maybach Ocean Club is set to sail from 2030.
