    I had the pleasure of celebrating my doctoral graduation at Farmhouse Redcoat, and it was a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, with an extensive plant-based menu that I deeply appreciated. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and flavourful. The restaurant itself is modern and beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for a special occasion. What truly stood out was the exceptional service and attention to detail. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a complimentary glass of bubbles to mark my achievement, and to my delight, I was also presented with a special congratulations dessert—which they ensured was vegan just for me. This level of care meant a lot, as complimentary items are often not suitable for me despite being intended for me. The staff were friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I would 100% return for another special occasion and highly recommend Farmhouse Redcoat to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

    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.
