Merricks Restaurants

Thank you to Epicurean for providing such a lovely lunch for us, everything was incredible, the food was 10/10. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and we really appreciated the kind and generous service from all staff.

We had a really enjoyable lunch at Red Hill Estate. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, and the food was fresh and tasty. Arleen was absolutely lovely—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Her service made a big difference and really lifted the whole experience. The menu leans more casual than refined, which was a bit unexpected given the elegant setting. The porchetta was delicious and came with great roast potatoes, though some roast veggies would’ve made it feel more complete. The tiramisu was excellent—light, creamy, and well-balanced. There were a few small quirks. We had to order everything at once, which made the meal feel a little rushed. Also, pasta being listed as a share plate didn’t really work for us—it’s usually better as an individual dish. And while pizza as a main added to the casual vibe, it felt a bit out of step with the rest of the venue. We did ask for chopped chilli, which wasn’t available—but Arleen kindly brought us some chilli oil, which was appreciated. Still, simple requests like that should be easy to accommodate, even when the kitchen’s busy. All in all, a lovely afternoon with great service, solid food, and a beautiful setting. With a few small tweaks, Red Hill Estate could easily go from good to outstanding.We had a really enjoyable lunch at Red Hill Estate.
