The French Horn in South Oxfordshire

For £200 without wine I really expect hollandaise that isn't slightly scrambled, claggy pie pastry and literally undrinkable coffee. On the other hand, the spring rolls were incredible, puddings were fine and the petits-fours were a nice touch. Ambience is a bit weird, like a parody of an expensive restaurant, and I can't say that the couple having a deeply venomous argument right behind us enhanced it. Perhaps we caught them on a bad night but we won't be back to check.

Just visited once. Great grounds and comfortable dining experience. But it seems that the place is up for sale.

Came here with my mum and brother before they fly back home. The ambience with historic setting and the view was amazing. The service from all the staff was remarkable. The quality of food was above average in UK dining standard. We had a wonderful dining experience.

We arrived by Ŕiver and as alwaýs the good, service, wine and setting were out of this world and unbeatable. Thanks for another lovely evening!

On the way to Sonning on a very rainy evening, we found this little gem to stop by for dinner. Very classic and excellent service. Michael and his team was very attentive. Fantastic menu and wine list, beautiful view by the river and just a generally lovely experience.

Exceptional and Unique Restaurant in an absolutely stunning location with a great menu and knowledgeable staff. Food is always perfect and delicious. We highly recommend this place for all the occasions and celebrations possible. You will not be disappointed as it is one of the best places we ever visited

Sonning on the river Thames is a wonderful location. This is an iconic restaurant that we’ve driven past for more than 20 years. We have just had a wonderful experience and lunch. Yes it’s expensive but it’s an amazing experience. Great food and wonderful old fashioned service. We loved it and will go back. Don’t wait as it’s up for sale. Go and try it now 😁♥️

It is sixty years since we had our Honeymoon here. Lovely to come back with the family. Lovely lunch beautifully served Another lovely memory to store away. Thank you to all who looked after us. Nicholas and Dianne Gale

Food quite nice but ruined by the price. It’s just not that special. Damp and smelly

It is going to be expensive and is heading to over priced, and the decor hasn’t changed in twenty years. Once we get these things out of the way the lobster cake was amazing, the duck the signature dish and finished with some fine desserts. The service was attentive and relaxed. And a wonderful location. Lead with your taste buds and not your weekly (my wife says monthly) shopping budget and you will leave contented.

Ecellent food and service, couple all that with unforgettable location. Lovely

Amazing service and the food spot on. Best French restaurant around and there is some stiff competition. Always a pleasure to visit and we've now been half a dozen times. A firm favourite

Great restaurant and food. Fantastic atmosphere and friendly staff.

A chance discovery. The food and the service were very good. There was plenty of car parking and the surroundings both outside and inside were very pleasant. Highly recommended for a special occasion.

Wonderful place, excellent service friendly staff fabulous food.

The French Horn provides an extraordinarily elegant experience, both as an Inn and a restaurant. Unfailing and impeccable service, delivered consistently by the current owners and family for over 50 years—it’s like stepping back in time to an earlier era of grace and civility.

Impeccable front of house but the serving lacked finesse

Very nice. Unfortunately, we were there for a wake. However, the food served was excellent, as was the service.
