    Went for Sunday lunch. Our waitress was outstanding, but front of house manager and chef were poor. It’s not welcoming to tell your customers that they need to vacate the table at a certain time. A stupid thing to do at the beginning of the meal. My wife has a mushroom intolerance, which is a common thing, yet the gravy used for all the roasts had mushroom. Thus in itself is poor, but compounded by the chef not having the wit to offer an alternative. Presented with a plate of dry chicken. We had to suggest an alternative, which he then made. Very amateurish , disinterested or lazy. Maybe all 3. On arrival to the empty restaurant, we were denied a table I preferred and told we had to sit elsewhere. I noticed that the table I wanted was unoccupied for most of the lunch, and although set for 4, was given to a party of 3, the same size as my group. Lastly, an ingredient for a cocktail we ordered was unavailable. How difficult is it to maintain the stock? Overall a very disappointing visit . Can’t recommend until they pull their finger out.

    Lovely restaurant, delicious food, attentive service. It was our second visit and really pleasurable- Would consider it a high end dining establishment and perfect for a special meal out. 4 of us in the party and everyone enjoyed their choices from cocktails, to starters, mains and desserts. Nothing left on anyone’s plates!

    Always love coming here. Had a fabulous meal with my mother. We shared a starter and then had a roast each. Couldn’t eat a pudding. So goes to show tje portions are good. Service was excellent. Always a pleasure to go here. And the price is reasonable too. Thanks.

    Ours was a lunch to celebrate an 80th birthday. Our waitress was Crystal, and she looked after us exceptionally well. We will certainly return in due course. The food was delicious and fairly priced. We enjoyed our Australian red wine and the English dessert wine, which we had never encountered before. Thank you for a lovely event.

    Fantastic menu and the food was perfect. The staff were helpful and friendly. Atmosphere was lovely with background music until a diner asked for it be turned down, I guess there is always one who moans. We always celebrate Valentine’s Day with lunch or dinner here as it’s a special venue for us. We got married here. Thoroughly recommend The Farmhouse at Redcoats. Clare Wright
