    Food was excellent and big portions. Sunday lunch and the restaurant was full but got quiet as the afternoon drew on. Very enjoyable.

    There were 4 in our party. We had 3 different starters, Mackerel, croquettes and white pudding scotch egg. All were excellent. We only had 2 different main courses, the venison pie and the stone bass with additional skinny fries. Again, both mains were excellent. One dessert of pumpkin cake - again excellent. We couldn't fault the quality of these meals.

    Excellent roast dinner -Special of the day was lamb for sharing. Plenty of tasty sides to accompany the roast and the Bergamot meringue tart for dessert was delicious. Service was really good.

    First time for Sunday lunch. After several week night and Saturday visits we ended up planning our whole weekend around being in Hitchin for Sunday lunch - and OMG it was worth it. Beautiful roast lamb, amazing roast potatoes, lots of veg and gravy and huge Yorkshire pudding. It was the first time and it won’t be the last.
    Kite at The Red HartResponded on 23 October 2024
    Hi James! We are so glad you had such a great experience with us on Sunday, and that you enjoyed our Special Lamb Roast! We would love to see you again soon, perhaps to try out our regular dinner menu!
