The French Horn

This long-established riverside restaurant nestles on the banks of a tranquil stretch of the Thames, and has a well deserved reputation for high quality cuisine. Take a drink in the cosy bar where a spit-roast duck turns above the fire, promising good things to come - or in summer sit out on the delightful terrace - before moving through to the elegant dining room which is almost entirely glass-fronted, making the most of the river views. Tables are well appointed, and a classical English and French menu with innovative touches suits the formal setting. Start with a tian of crab, or if you're hungry a whole lobster and Caesar salad, and then tuck into the likes of pan-fried halibut laced with a peppercorn sauce, Chateaubriand with béarnaise sauce, or a simply grilled whole Dover sole.
