French Horn, Sonning Eye
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The French Horn at Sonning is a luxury hotel and restaurant on the banks of the River Thames near Sonning Bridge, at Sonning Eye, Oxfordshire, England.
The speciality of the restaurant is duck, roasted on a spit in front of the fire, and there is an extensive wine list. The restaurant has a panoramic view of the gardens and river beyond. The riverside trees are floodlit at night. It is possible for diners and other visitors to moor on the river in the hotel's garden. There is an old, rusty iron gate with the name of the hotel within the ironwork on the path by the river opposite Sonning Bridge.
Notable clientele include the film director and restaurant critic Michael Winner, who has used the location as a film set, and Princess Diana.
Close by is The Mill at Sonning, now a dinner theatre. On the opposite Berkshire bank is another riverside hotel and restaurant, the Great House at Sonning.
