   The food and service here was absolutely fantastic. Every single member of staff is friendly, efficient, and knows what they are talking about with regards menu etc. the food is absolutely perfect. Unfortunately on this occasion the ambience was closer to being at a pizza express, with young children running around and shouting during the meal which isn't really what you want for a nice meal out. The parents just seemed to walk around following them which made it even more difficult for the servers to navigate the area with plates and drinks as it seems they are not used to having four people constantly walking/running in a line through the small restaurant. I suspect this took everyone by surprise as I imagine most people wouldn't bring young children who can't sit down for hours to a restaurant like this, but I hope the farmhouse plans for situations like this better in the future to protect the evening of all of the other guests and to make life easier for their servers.

   Our first experience at Redcoats and a very good one at that. We shall certainly be back. The food was lovely and the staff very friendly, helpful and efficient without being intrusive. We used Redcoats to meet friends on a half way basis. Everyone agreed it was an excellent choice and ticked all our boxes. We all commented on a lovely relaxing lunch and afternoon. Well done Redcoats

   We were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday and what a special treat. The food was fantastic, service excellent and setting first rate. It’s a place we go for ‘nice’ meals and this was another memorable one. Thanks to everyone concerned for making it such an enjoyable celebration.

   Really Amazing service, very attentive and really helpful recommendations for choices. We had a party of 6, I had a few questions before our reservation and they got back to me super quickly. Plant based menu was amazing - really great choice. Highly recommend the mushroom wellington! All the food was great, (only reason for a 4 rather than a 5 was other groups feedback that they didn’t have the crab). Lovely building and location, over all a fantastic experience- so much so that we have booked a private room for Christmas Lunch 2025 already!!

   Nice venue. Lovely freshly prepared food with good quality ingredients. The rib eye steak in particular is highly recommended. Reasonably priced overall given the quality. Only grumble is that the service varied between efficient and friendly to forgetful. Also I dont think a venue in rural Hertfordshire should be adding on a 12.5% service charge by default, its not London! Overall I would recommend and if the service sharpened up I would give it 5 stars.

    I reserved the farmhouse at Redcoats for a special New Year's Day dinner, but I was extremely disappointed when my steak was served cold and not cooked to my requested preference. It was very upsetting not being able to enjoy the New Year's dinner with my partner as we had planned.
