This August, join us for Fire & Feast, a one-night-only riverside dining experience at The Great House, Sonning, inspired by Italy’s tradition of long-table feasting.

Join us on Friday 7th August 2026, as we gather around one beautifully styled communal table on our Events Lawn overlooking the River Thames. As our chefs cook over live fire grills in full view, enjoy a seasonal four-course menu served sharing style, celebrating the very best of British summer produce.

As day turns to dusk, live music from a string duo provides the soundtrack to an evening of relaxed dining by the river, before drinks continue on the terrace.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a unique summer dining experience in Berkshire, Fire & Feast promises an unforgettable evening of exceptional food, open-fire cooking and great company.

Tickets are £60 per person, with drinks available to purchase separately. With only sixty places available, booking is required
