The French Horn has been providing hospitality for two hundred years. Originally a coaching inn the hotel has been in the Emmanuel family since 1972 with a focus on providing quality food and excellent service. It has a reputation as one of the finest restaurants in Reading with comfortable rooms.

The French Horn sits next to the bridge in the busy little village of Sonning on Thames. The hotel is on the banks of the river providing a stunning backdrop to the restaurant for our Lunch. Michael Emmanuel has worked with us to provide a great menu for our lunch.

Michael has worked with us on this occasion so that we can offer two sittings: the Saturday and the Thursday. This is because seating capacity has been reduced to 22 from 40.
