Red House

Fantastic place for so many reasons.
We had our wedding meal here — took 90 people and had the whole place to ourselves. The staff were so excellent in helping us prepare for our time there, helping us come up with a menu specific for the occasion and putting in so much work to get the place looking beautiful!
The food was great and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. The restaurant area has a more sleek feel to it whereas around the bar there are open log fires and on one side, the bar is uniquely stocked/​held up with an array of books — wonderfully unique!
We have eaten there on other occasions and the service always feels more personalised than a more «corporate» place — must be a very friendly staff team all round! They are also involved in local initiative such as making record-​breaking size pork pies… Definitely eye-​catching!
Friends of ours had heard that this place, 4 – 5 years back didn’t have a good reputation… From our experiences the change in ownership/​management has definitely pulled off a masterstroke!

The Red House is a hotel that also features a fantastic contemporary restaurant with excellent food! The restaurant deco is a mix of funky and traditional country design that gives off a romantic and at ease feel about it. On walking in I was given a warm welcome and instantly offered drinks and despite there being a traditional bar, I never had to step a foot near it as the waiting service was second to none. The Lounge/​bar offers the ideal environment for pre-​dinner drinks and houses a relaxing log fire where we were served drinks and ordered our food before being taken to our table which is a nice touch. The menu is short yet varied and boasts 100% all local produce and locally reared meats. Freshly baked bread with dipping oils were offered complimentary and on the table when we sat down. The food was presented in an artistic fine-​dine style and the portion sizes are good and filling. The price is defiantly appropriate to the service and excellent food and I will definitely be going back! I would also recommend pre-​booking.
