*Please note ? this is a review of the restaurant part of the hotel*
A few weeks ago Mr Tart and myself headed to his parents? for a family gathering. We were all going out for a posh meal on the Sunday and the French Horn was chosen as the location for the event.
LOCATION:
The French Horn is in Sonning-on-Thames. Sonning is not a big place and the restaurant is on the main road so you can?t miss it (sorry I can?t be more specific ? it doesn?t even give a road name on the website!).

This fantastic sitcom was released in 1995 and ran for 3 series until 1998, giving out 25 episodes.

Craggy Island is located off the west coast of Ireland and is the most barren, desolated spit of land in the middle of nowhere.
On Craggy island there are 3 priests.
They are there for 3 reasons,
One had some church funds "resting" in his account, resting there for a very long time!
