Each of our 22 boutique rooms is decked out with quirky designs, beautiful handcrafted Indian furniture, oriental rugs and delicate fabrics. The Elephant Hotel, set in the bustling village of Pangbourne, beside the River Thames, minutes from the vibrant city of Reading, offers a return to the opulence of the Empire. Beautiful handcrafted Indian furniture, rich oriental rugs, delicate fabrics - bed

rooms individual in style but identical in attention to detail. The Elephant at Pangbourne has two dining areas. ‘BaBar’ has a bistro feel, serving excellent local produce in a simple and classic manner, while our restaurant, Christoph’s, offers an elegant fine dining alternative. You can even choose to dine al fresco in our enclosed garden (perhaps with a cold glass of Louis Roederer champagne in your hand - weather permitting!) whilst you mull over what to eat, or get dressed up and sip a Singapore Sling in our intimate cocktail lounge.

🥩 Welcome to The Herd! Where steak isn’t just on the menu… it is the menu.

At the Herd Steak Restaurant, we’re serious about great steak - from carefully sourced local cuts to 30-day dry-aged perfection, all cooked over an open wood-fired grill for that unmistakable smoky flavour! 🔥

🥩 Chateaubriand to share
🥩 Sublime sirloin and premium cuts
🥩 Highland, Angus and Wagyu favourites

Pair your steak with bold rubs, rich sauces, and all the sides worth sharing (or not… we won’t judge).

New to steak? Our expert team will guide you to your perfect cut. Not in the mood for steak? We’ve got delicious alternatives too.
