Featured Holt Restaurants
1. The French Horn
French restaurant in Sonning-on-Thames
A “lovely location for a lazy lunch or dinner” – this traditional and “very enjoyable” Thames-valley staple sits just over the bridge from picturesque Sonning and is best known for its signature duck, spit-roasted over an open fire. Even fans can note prices are “somewhat toppish”, however, and critics feel it is “seriously overpriced for satisfactory but old-school French fine dining”.
2. Orwells
British, Traditional restaurant in Shiplake
Shiplake Row - RG9
“Serious food in a chilled and characterful countryside pub setting” has won acclaim for Ryan & Liam Simpson-Trotman’s well-established venture, a short drive from Henley. The “superb tasting menu” provides “a veritable cornucopia of interestingly conceived and original dishes, worthy of a higher ranking from the French tyremaker” (who inexplicably has not given them a star yet). “There was prodigious use of dry ice during our meal like at The Fat Duck, except here it’s 1/4 price and 1/10 as pretentious!”
3. Marle, Heckfield Place
British, Modern restaurant in Heckfield
Heckfield Place - RG27
A prime setting with “lovely countryside views from the dining room” are part of the joys of this revamped luxury spa hotel, in a Georgian building with interiors by a protégé of celebrated designer Ilse Crawford. This is the more formal (or “subdued”) of two eateries here – both offering “great food from Skye Gingell” (on the pared-back side, with much sourced on-site).
