Dropped into this pub for lunch given was in the area at the time and randomly picked somewhere. The food was not quite gastro quality it was most home cooking and was fine for lunch. Service was good and atmosphere had a really nice country pub feel about it.

Atmosphere: The environment in the dining room is sterile and needs a complete face lift,. Add uncomfortable chairs and intrusive, "on hold" style musac and the overall experience is bland and disappointing. Service: Slow service despite a small number of guests. A lack of training is apparent, as indicated by the amateurish handling of wine service. Wine and water bottles plonked on table with tops on, and no offer to pour or allowing tasting. Our food was good but we noted other guests were complaining. Value for Money: Diners do expect a higher level of both food and service quality to justify high prices with the label " gastropub". When the experience doesn’t meet these expectations as in our case, it leaves a bad impression.

Had a Sunday roast, the meat portion size was good, Yorkshire pudding good, everything else was very minimal, also there was to much gravy for my liking, so things got a bit soppy quickly, would much prefer it to come out in a gravy boat. But overall the taste was good just some things to consider.

We arrived here on a very wet Monday and were given a warm welcome. Although we hadn't booked and were before the restaurant opened, we could take a seat in the dining area and had a bottle of wine to start with. Our waitress was plesant, there was plenty of choice on the menu, the food was very well presented and we all had a good 2 course meal. Thank you.

It was as usual first class in every way this was one of my most memorable lunches with my friend who provided good conversation and the "Horn" providing the excellent food, this was a lunch I will remember for a long time. I know have a table which if available I choose each visit and the French Horne is my first choice in Alton for a meal.

Fantastic value for money! The French Horn pub to which the accomodation is joined is charming and full of character. And the atmosphere was fun and lively the weekend that I was there. The food prepared by their kitchen was definitely a highlight of the stay. The accomodation was clean and well-furnished. The shower instantly provided hot water at a good pressure which you can't say for every place on AirBNB. And I found there to be plenty of space to relax and be comfortable. Some here have suggested issues with privacy, but despite it's location in the grounds of the pub, I never felt like this was much of an issue. What makes this place such fantastic value however is the reception from Monika and the staff at The French Horn. They were friendly and attentive for the duration of my stay. You'll be made to feel extremely welcome.

Many years ago (too many) I visited The French Horn with my wife but at that time you were not sure if it was a Pub or Restaurant, Boy has that changed, Great Food served on hot plates..Great friendly service and the young man serving us understood the needs of myself and my guests all of us over 75. The food arrived spot on and quickly which surprised us seeing as the Restaurant was rammed. We all had the Sunday Roast Beef (£17.50) which included Cauliflower Cheese..Vegetables..and 3 or 4 slices Beef..excellent Roast Potatoes along with plenty of other veg. Timothy Taylor at £4.70..Stella.£5.00 followed by Coffee at £2.50 and £3.45 Latte the bill for the 3 meals and extras was £73.15 more than acceptable having had an exceptional meal. A really cosy efficient Pub with friendly staff. We will return to what, in my opinion, is the Best Sunday Lunch in the Alton area. Thank uou very much

Update Friday 05th April 2924. I visited with my parents again (I don't live in Alton). We had the same meals as last time, the Horn fish pie and the chicken curry, which were once again, delicious. My Mum tried the Moss Forest cake which she really enjoyed. Harry is an exceptional waiter, really enthusiastic, professional and friendly. All the staff are very welcoming. Highly recommend. First review:- I visited here with my parents a few weeks ago, this review is overdue. We had a warm welcome by a very friendly young man who was very attentive, despite being busy. We had a lovely lunch in a pleasant atmosphere and will definitely come back. If I lived closer I would go to their comedy nights too.

Wasn’t feeling too well this evening and really fancied a roast dinner but didn’t want to make one or go out. Saw that the French Horn were offering free delivery and they had Roast dinner on the menu! I ordered the chicken one and a dessert for afters, to be honest I wasn’t expecting wonderful being a delivery but I was so wrong! The food arrived just half an hour later & was piping hot. It looked amazing & tasted even better! The portion was plenty too. The crumble I ordered for dessert was also unreal! Huge thankyou for the lovely food & quick delivery, will definitely be ordering from you guys again. 5 stars well deserved!

Because of special dietary needs we checked the menu before booking to ensure there was at least 2 dishes that were suitable. On arriving we found that there was only the Valentines fixed menu which had no suitable dishes. Fortunately the kitchen found one of their usual dishes they could serve, but when it arrived the mashed potatoes were cold. They took the dish back and reheated, but then the meat was overheated and dried up. The staff were fantastic in trying to accommodate our needs but the food fell short of our expectations. We were not the only guests that were caught out by the menu change that night, they decided to leave rather than choose from the very restricted Valentine menu. Perhaps the online booking needs to be changed to make it clearer when a restricted menu is the only option. Diners should check when booking which menu is available for the date of their booking.

What a shame! This pub has so much potential, but somehow it's just fading away through lack of interest. The shorter hours and the possibility of earlier closure are obviously off-putting, but the unfriendly barstaff are another negativity. We often visit this pub in an effort to try to help them out, but come away wondering why we bothered.

Booked for a lunch at 1 pm , still waiting for food at 1-45 pm , when we asked how much longer would the food be we were told at least another twenty minutes!. Other customers had also been waiting well over the hour, totally unacceptable. If we had been told from the start that they were running that far behind,it would have saved us waiting so long before making the decision to leave.

A huge thank you to Piotr and staff at the French Horn for a perfectly timed delivery of a very generous, piping hot, and delicious roast pork meal. The quality of their food and friendly service, whether eating at the restaurant or home delivery never fails to delight. Can't recommend this local business enough. Added bonus if you are a steam train enthusiast, you can see the trains of the Watercress Line go by as you relax with your meal.

STROPPY OVERPRICED SERVICE Stopped here for an impromptu lunch. Was very happy and greeted and shown to a table. order taken very promptly by a young girl. After chasing our food order of an open sandwich after 40 mins. Food was plonked down on our table. I was obviously visually impaired but I didn't even know she had left. I required condiments on my single thin slice of sour bread with a few measley defrosted tasteless prawns but alas my carer had to hunt down a staff member to ask. Ordered a handful of chunky chips to share and omg they weren't wrong with the description... a couple of chips each. Bill was incorrect and again, luckily carer spotted, I had been charged 3 sandwiches Went to the loo before leaving, toilet leaking, floor soaked, no handrier. Overall terrible service, not good quality, and overpriced food (£35+ for 1 slice of toast each) Do not recommend.

Living locally I've heard a lot of good press about the French Horn, I was surprised that it is pretty average and not really much of a threat to the more established Alton Gastro Pubs. Its a cold dining room, and always has been, the bar seems much more comfortable, the lunch/brunch menu is kind of limited - avoid the Sea Bass it was cremated when we visited, the open sandwiches are fine to good, but the fries had been cooked longer than the fish and still arrived cold, the Polish breakfast has great content but you don't get much - defo want to add black pudding both for flavour and bulk. Saturday lunchtime Guinness was on the wrong side of average

Wow where do I start. I have noted the other reviews so am aware we may have caught them on an off day, chef may not have been in / I chose the wrong dish. My wife and I go out nearly every Wednesday evening and have done so since the reponening of the last lockdown. Needless to say we have been to many local pubs many times and realised that we hadn't given the French Horn a go. I had pushed to visit a few times as I liked the look of the menu especially the polish slant. Before I detail, I would just like to say that the staff were amazingly friendly. Two items were not on the menu, the soup and the butternut squash curry which limited my wife's choice dramatically. She had two starters as her main meal which she enjoyed but it was average at best. I had a prawn starter which was again nice but average and then out came the polish dumplings. Well I have no words. OK so I have never had polish dumplings before but have had dumplings via other cuisines and countries before. The dumpling itself tasted like uncooked pancake and the meat was just tasteless. It was all swimming in what seamed to be cooking oil, covered with very greasy and fatty pancetta and the pickles and other accompaniments frankly looked and tasted like they were out of a jar. I note an earlier review stating the same thoughts with a reply from the French Horn saying that everything was fresh. I assume this does not include these pickles etc.. I simply could not eat this meal. Anyway my gist is this. You go out to hopefully have a meal that would be on a par with other places, that you could probably not cook yourself either at all or as well as the place you chose to eat at and so on. Our meal cost £63.00 which included a bottle of wine and 2 pints. When we go out to other pub restaurants our bill is usually between £60.00 to £80.00. We recently ate at a Thai. The food there is awesome and often have to take a doggy bag home. Including wine and pints the meal cost £65.00. Again recently at another localish pub restaurant, the bill was £73.00 with the same alcohol content but we both chose specials that were a little more expensive than main menu stuff. The meal was off the charts good. I could rattle on about other pubs and their good points and as important is how consistently good they each time we visit but this isn't the reason really for my review. As a independent business owner I need to know how I am doing so any review good or bad is welcome and needed. I do hope that I just made a bad choice on the day and that the quality issue was a one off / me being crazy fussy. We will go back to the French Horn to give the benefit of the doubt and would be pleased to report back in a more positive way next time. Oh as I side note, I am not sure if the French Horn are planning on a litte refit as the restaurant area is really very dated. Many of the local pubs we are visiting have recently updated which I think is a must apres Covid to entice keep clients, attract new clients, increase recommendations and not to lose out on the competition. Watch this space.

Having recently moved to the local area we popped by to the pub for drinks a couple of weeks ago. Upon our initial visit we witnessed the roast dinners being brought out to other tables and had immediate food envy. We promised we would come back for our own Sunday roast. The selection of roast dinners was good with pork, chicken, veggie or beef, all served with cabbage, roast potatoes, massive Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese and honey roasted carrots and parsnips. We ordered a starter of the chilli garlic prawns to share and wished there were more as they were very nicely cooked - in hindsight just as well that we shared our starter as the mains were HUGE. I was really grateful that the staff were able to cater for my dietary requirements of strictly no gravy - TOP MARKS FROM ME! The roast was lovely and great value for money. The roasties were large, crispy and fluffy on the inside, the veg was tender and the beef was moist despite myself having no gravy. Cooked perfectly. The portions were huge which unfortunately meant no room for desert - we will have to try out the desert menu on our next visit. From what we could see from other tables these also looked nice. We reserved a spot and requested to sit in the outdoor marquee, we were very grateful for the heater being turned on. It made the alfresco dinning experience much more comfortable. I was particularly impressed with the service, perseverance and determination of the waiting staff in today’s very wet weather conditions. Whilst we were sat in the dry of the marque the poor staff members were getting awfully wet but still served us with a smile under their facemasks and in good spirits despite the adverse weather. It was also particularly busy, and the staff were very prompt in serving us. Nothing was too much trouble!

Sorry to be negative but:I could not discern crab in the crab cakes either by appearance or taste, just very soft pureed potato. The accompanying saffron mayo was colourful but tasteless.The Polish sausage was certainly Polish but just one, not very large, for £13.25 seemed a bit steep - a second sausage is offered for £2 extra. Sauteed potatoes and onions were greasy and rather short of onions. Mustard mayo looked and tasted like the saffron mayo (see above). The red cabbage salad was really just garnish rather than a significant contributor to the dish.

We went here on a cold Friday evening and the heater wasn’t working. We ordered crab cakes and the calamari. What can I say? A travesty! Crab cakes mushy with bright yellow sauce and as for the calamari, seriously, words fail me - constituted paste in a batter coating! Main course a very overcooked, dry burger and a tiny sea bass fillet with a sauce which again words cannot describe. On the plus side, the wine was nicely chilled and the young waiting staff were excellent. Feel very disappointed because this pub is local to us and we would love to be regulars. Will not be going here again!

Went today as a family. Food had lots of Polish food on the menu, not sure if the owners were polish or not. Struggled to find vegetarian options, very little there. They did change the parmesan cheese on the tomato pasta for my daughter but it was dripping in oil. My sons southern fried chicken he said was OK, this is unusual for him as its one of his favourites. My vegetarian burger was tasteless and burnt. Roll was hard. No salad with burgers either. Menu online not correct even though I checked when booking so make sure there are lots of foods you will eat before arriving.

Met with friends here tonight. Lovely food, fairly busy. We asked for the heaters to be turned on, rambling explanation as to why they weren't working but a maintenance man got them going for us. I tried to order some drinks to be told they had no Pims!! Only to see it on the bar two hours later . Tried to order floater coffees, but no caffeinated coffee and no cream for the floaters. . Then, when we asked for the bill, we had to work out what our individual bills were, and the discount because their s I'mystems couldn't do it!! . Won't be coming back here in a hurry.....sorry. Still lovely food, but service not great.....was ok. The staff were ok.

came here for dinner Monday evening booked online got there they had not got our booking, got offered out side or the snug we chose outside got given menus and told to order inside so far all normal. Once ordered they took a card and gave us a key we then went back outside to wait for our food 45 minutes passed so we went in to ask where our food was only to be told it would be another 15 minutes basicly meaning that it hadn't yet been cooked. both me and my partner work in hospitality and know it dosnt take that long when you get told there was only 4 tables in front of you.

Really great local pub we are lucky to have in Alton. I’ve dined here three times recently and have enjoyed the food every time as have those I’ve visited with. Our plates are always scraped clean! The desserts are delicious too. Service can be really slow at some points in the evening but the pub is busy. Will defiantly be returning.

Called into the French Horn last Friday on a busy, sunny evening. We asked if there was any chance that we could order some food. The garden tables were all fully pre-booked but they did manage to seat us in the restaurant area. Tables were well spaced and the young waitress was very pleasant and polite. Covid regs all in place and track and trace was the first thing we were asked to complete. Well done on that as we had had to ask for it in another Alton pub!There was quite a wait for the meal to be served but this is not a pub-grub place and food was all prepared fresh to order so that was to be expected. We had both ordered steak which was cooked to perfection. The pepper sauce was the only let down as it was quite runny and at £2 for a tiny pot it wasn't as expected. It did get changed but the second was not much better. Perhaps that is how they serve it? Hubby chose stilton sauce which was perfect.All in all the meal was very good. I even asked to alter some of the accompanying sides with it and that was no problem at all. Well done French Horn. We had a lovely meal in nice surroundings served to us very politely.Would we recommend? DefinitelyWould we return? Yes, if we are ever in that area again. Thank you to all at the French Horn for a very enjoyable dining experience

The clearly didn’t have enough staff on! management fault!! The young friendly staff were left to face customers and were laughing that they’d started well, on this evenings track and trace but had forgotten to continue! (Not good enough within a pandemic) The pub was a mess with tables not cleared. More importantly there wasn’t any hand soap in either male or female toilets! The staff were told but nearly 2hours later still nothing.We were really disappointed as they seriously seemed to have slipped on cleanliness. I hope they start to take things more seriously as this has always been a lovely pub but sadly very disappointed this evening.

Went in there for a soft drink after squash with a mate at the local sports centre, got charged £6.70 for two pints of tap lemonade - that's pint-of-beer prices! It's a shame, I live just round the corner and the food was always pricey but drinks (especially soft) were reasonable. Would not be surprised if two pints of beer cost £11 and up with what they charge for soft drinks.*This was six months ago*

Friendly staff, great food too and lovely atmosphere. Nicely spaced tables and clearly trying hard with current regulations. Will definitely visit again.

Rude barman who was sarcastic towards us both and not suited to customer facing role. He would be better working on an assembly line. Ruined our hopes of a nice drink after a 14 x mile SDW walk. Won't be returning.

Remembering The Crown as a warm and welcoming quintessential village pub when when living in Headley some years before, we booked table for Saturday lunch at 2pm. With only another table of four, there was a bit of a wait for food. The real issue was that when we came to order dessert (2 x affrogato), we were told we needed to be quick because the pub would be closing in 5 minutes. Service was dour and unfriendly, food underwhelming and generally poor value for money. Such a shame!
