A great welcome when we visited The Red Kite Inn today. We all had a 2 course Sunday lunch which was superb. Plenty of food served and to a very high quality.The staff were all very attentive and friendly. The drinks were reasonably priced. It also had a great atmosphere which is sadly lacking in many pubs these days.Our first time to visit here but certainly not our last. Five stars, very well deserved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited twice. Nice meals, varied menu with the usual pub grub on offer. I had chicken in white wine cream sauce and dill. Partner had the pie which he enjoyed. The galaxy cheesecake was a generous slab as was the sticky toffee pud. Pretty reasonable prices. Friendly service.

Lovely atmosphere and staff. The food was brilliant and there was a lot of it. Probably the nicest sweet potato fries I have ever had. Shame we were too full to try a dessert but there is always next time. Prices are a little high but still highly recommended for a quiet meal out.

Had a lovely family meal here. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. We had two people with food allergies and they were fantastic about accommodating us. The food was really good and the portion sizes were generous. I was amazed at what you get for very reasonable prices. Can't recommend enough.

Lovely Sunday lunch let down by not being warm enough. Just barely enjoyable because of this, but the food is good quality cooked properly and plentiful. Nice to see social distancing being observed so carvery not self service at the moment.

We have just had a Sunday lunch and the food was delicious. It was very well made, hit and generous portions. All the staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. It was a lovely atmosphere and we had a very warm welcome. It was a special birthday event and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Very highly recommended. We will definately be going again soon.
