    I went here with my family to celebrate my birthday. We had cocktails in the lounge area before going to the dinner table. I had 3 oysters to start with and they were delicious I had the fish of the day, sea bream, which was delicious I had the custard tart for desert and that was lovely. Nice food and nice setting

    Redcoats is an utterly charming venue. It is unpretentious, yet has a sophisticated ambience. Sunday, late lunch was our occasion and it did not fail to deliver, apart from one exception. The vegetables with our main dish, were not particularly interesting. Cabbage, Al dente green beans and a couple of pieces of broccoli which played "hide and seek". Additionally, we were most surprised to be informed that the cauliflower cheese had run out. A little odd????

    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.
