Our chefs are taking to the flames, bringing bold flavours, and showcasing prime cuts of locally sourced meat, house-smoked fish with homegrown vegetables. There’ll be live music from Dave Foster and Hobo Chic, cocktails flowing from the bar, and our beautiful garden to settle in with friends and family as the sunshine does its thing. Whether you’re here for the fire-cooked food, the countryside setting or the summer soundtrack – book now

    We had a lovely Sunday lunch with absolutely delicious food. The ambience was buzzing and the service excellent. My only slight gripe is that we were told quite vehemently as soon as we arrived that our table was needed back by 2.45 (we had a 12.45 booking) This was reiterated a couple of times as we sat down, which I felt was a bit too forceful. However, despite the service being warm and friendly, our food was very slow in coming. We waited about half an hour for our starters and nearly an hour for our main course. Thankfully we were told that we would not have to vacate our table after two hours as the waiter realised that it was not our fault! I would highly recommend Redcoats for its delicious food - best Sunday lunch we have had in a long while, thank you.

    Couldn't recommend it enough!! Staff were incredibly attentive, friendly and welcoming. The food was 10/10. The atmosphere was lovely. It was mine and my husband's wedding anniversary when we visited The Farmhouse at Redcoats and we were made to feel special the whole night through, with complimentary glasses of prosecco and the yummiest magdalenes for desert!! An amazing experience, we can't wait to be back!
