    What a disaster of a family get together No mixed grills no eggs running low on rolls The spicy burger looked as if it had been run over by a tractor burgers were tastles rolls they had were mini rolls won't be going back And it's a shame such a lovely restaurant and bar Couldn't have a mixed grill so I opted for the gammon then was told you can't have eggs but well give you a extra pineapple 😂 Place not what it used to be really gone down hill

    Went here on a Saturday lunch time (12ish) walked in and didn't need to make a reservation which was great. Found a table which was clean and tidy, the menu was already on the table along with all the sauces etc. Went to the bar and ordered the food and drink, within 5 minutes we had our food, so quick to bring it out, The service was super fast, staff welcomed us, and acknowledged us as we left as well. food was piping hot and delicious. The place was clean and tidy throughout, food was great service was great.. nothing but 5 stars, would highly recommend a visit here!

    I was impressed by the service as we were a big party of 12 and our meals all came out together. Steaks were as asked for and the others enjoyed their food two. There was no awkwardness about my mam having 2 starters and we had a thoroughly nice evening. Thank you. The waiting staff were polite and helpful the lone chef did an amazing job - good solo effort chef !

    We went to the Red Kite on a whim. Friendly welcome and we could sit where we like. First table was clean but very sticky, so we moved to another. This was also a little sticky, so this might be an area for improvement. Ordering via the app was a doddle. Drinks arrived promptly and we didn’t have to wait long for our food which was well presented and piping hot. I had the ultimate chicken burger which was excellent. I noticed one part of it (hash browns) was missing; quick chat to one of the very helpful members of staff and this was put right in minutes without any faff. The food was excellent - really tasty and well worth the money. All of the staff were smiling, ready to help and turned out smartly. First visit here - won’t be our last!

    Good hospitality, spacious and free parking available with access for wheel chair and bathrooms available. Reasonable prices on Menu Although, our order took ages to come. Probably, I was very hungry and our table was a little bit sticky (which I could easily ignore as I am not that critical person and can easily take as human error) because, we end up changing seats to warmer corner moving away from the window as we felt bit cold and not pleased anymore to watch rain 🤣 while patiently waiting and the table was okay. I recommend Red Kite as one of the thee places to be visited as families, couples, dates and meetings.

    I visited Red Kite recently and had quite a mixed experience. The food was acceptable, nothing out of the ordinary, but satisfying enough. However, it happened to be a quiz night, and the noise level was quite disruptive. The quiz was not only played inside but was also broadcasted on outside speakers, making it impossible to escape the continuous clamour. The service left something to be desired. We were informed that the wait time for food would be an hour, but that was not the case! This, coupled with the constant noise, dampened the overall atmosphere and experience. While the environment might be lively and enjoyable for those participating in the quiz, it may not be the best choice for those seeking a quiet, relaxed dinner. If you are considering a visit, it might be worth checking in advance if any events are scheduled for the evening.

    Took Grandchildren out for food. They wanted burgers, which were good, but there were no peas that the menu said they would have. I had Sunday lunch . Bit disappointed more expensive than other places and everything just put on plate. Would be nice if veg came in separate dishes also gravy as the plate was swimming in it. Haven't been for ages, and it will be a while before I go again.

    I very rarely put a bad review in but felt it necessary this time, very disappointed with service and food and lack of atmosphere this pub has, some of the staff were friendly, it was table service only so you are waiting a fair while before getting served! the food was awful. See the pic below. These were apparently mushrooms, and steaks were full of fat 🤮 sorry but sadly, I won't be going here again!

    Had a brilliant dinner here with my husband. Staff were fantastic, couldn’t praise them enough. Lovely customer service. Drinks delivered quickly. Food great, quick and all hot. My burger was awesome, husbands steak cooked correctly. Dropped one star for food as his chicken was too dry. Will definitely be returning.

    We were told to pick a table in an area as we had the dog with us. Tables around us were stacked up with empty plates and glasses. Our food took around 45 minutes to arrive. For the price we paid the foods appears to have gone down hill what happened to proper fresh chips and a small salad on the plate. Bevan by the time we left the surrounding tables were still stacked with empty plates and glasses. Even our own table was not cleared away. Surely the waiter who brought our food could have picked up sone empty dishes on his way back. Service not to the standard I would expect and seems to have gone down hill since the original management have gone. Shame really as this was our previous local 3 or 4 visits per week. We found out it is now dog friendly hence our reason for attempting to resume visiting the pub again. Hopefully things will improve and feedback acted upon.

    Had a lovely evening with my friend the other week. Lovely vibe and all round fantastic service from the whole team. Great food cooked by Jake. Best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had. Would 10000% recommend to anyone in or around the area.

    Staff were friendly and attentive without being bothersome, nothing was too much for them to provide. Menu was good selection, vegetarian and gluten free options too. And it was delicious!

  • 3/5 Irene J. 3 weeks ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Ordered drinks while choosing food. Food arrived - still no drinks. I could see people walking in after we’d ordered were getting served and When asked where they were, was told the “ticket” drink orders would be dealt with soon. Sorry but not efficient- and not enough staff there. I have booked for a table of 8 and hope we’re not disappointed.

    We visited the Red Kite Tuesday evening for some food out with the family. A lovely welcome by the staff at the door and the gentleman at the bar. We started off at the bar area with a few drinks to catch up with one another. The barman, Jack, made conversation with us all and asked us about our evening which we thought was very considerate. He also recommended some lovely gins that myself and my mum tried which were paired with some tonics that were also recommended! Both really refreshing and would definitely have them again. We then were shown to a table by the person at the door and ordered some lovely food which came out on great time and was very tasty. A really great experience and will be back soon, staff are a credit to you

    Went here for my sons birthday, food was lovely and arrived pretty quick. Ordered dessert (ice cream) for the kids, over 40 minutes later there was still no effort to serve it to us, even after checking with staff multiple times it was not served. We were eventually given a refund. Website states we must leave within 2 hours but they failed to serve all our food within that time

  • 5/5 Kian J. 8 months ago on Google
    This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that enjoys pub grub and a good time ,either way its a win win the manager mark is awesome and is so friendly. Definitely recommend.

    Dylan was brilliant, as were the rest of the staff. Came here for dinner with the family and the dog and the food was lovely, couldn’t fault it! They even have a menu for dogs and have treats you can help yourself too. Lovely atmosphere - had a lovely evening here!

  • 5/5 Tomasz R. 1 year ago on Google
    We've visited Red Kite on Saturday evening for a dinner. Despite small mishap at the kitchen, where our mains were forgotten. Professionalism of the bar manager let us had mains later. And our meals were fully refunded. Good place to visit with nice food and even better atmosphere. See you next time

  • 5/5 Tess B. 8 months ago on Google
    Food was amazing, staff were friendly and happy which was lovely to see. We had been seated, had drinks and starters plus had our mains already started to be cooked within half an hour of entering the pub. All together was there for an hour and 15 mins. Enjoyed the experience the whole time! The upgrade and decoration which had been done is beautiful and looks so much better. Thank you!

    Fabulous visit. It was my father's 70th birthday and the staff were amazing! Always at hand never too far away and nothing was ever a problem. We had a table of 17 and they worked very hard. Lovely food, great prices and perfect service. Thankyou for a great day! We will definitely be returning regularly.

  • 3/5 mike h. 8 months ago on Google
    Food wasn't the best ordered hunters chicken with extra chicken breast hardly any chips and a hand full of garnish thrown in the middle chicken wasn't hot enough very tight with the cheese on top .no one took the empty glasses which ended up being about 12 on the table cutlery turned up about 2 minutes after foof with one napkin between 3.also hobgobling ale wasn't very good so hit the larger. Won't be rushing back

  • 5/5 sian W. 2 years ago on Google
    Greeter was very friendly We had 3 different servers who were all lovely, chatty, polite and helpful. The chef hadn’t turned up for his shift so they explained there might be a slight delay, which was no trouble to us. We had a steak and a mixed grill which was all gorgeous. We’re returning customers so we wouldn’t keep returning if the service was poor. We’ve been customers since the pub was first opened and is our ‘go to’ restaurant. We’ve never ever had a bad meal

  • 4/5 Mark A. 2 years ago on Google
    Food arrived very quick (too quick) for my liking. It was if it was already waiting in the kitchen waiting for a table. Had a Double Classic chicken burger and was quite disappointed, the presentation wasn't great. Very greasy throughout all the items on the plate from chicken, chips and onion rings apart from the bun with the added leaf of lettice hiding at the base of the bun. What happened to the garnish? the plate might had looked a bit more appealing, come on Chef! My partner's food was just warm and she thought the chips were a bit greasy too. However Staff were very pleasant and helpful and the location is very nice and with their under cover outside dinning area has to be the best I've seen as they have adapted the the pandemic issues looks great.

  • 1/5 G D. 2 years ago on Google
    £16 for a frozen peters pie and frozen chips! nearly all meals that came out to our family were frozen or precooked. also how can you call it 2 for 1 when you pay actually for 2 meals?? must have been recently taken over because it used to be brilliant for food and well priced. disappointed....

  • 2/5 Gerald R. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff were good and friendly. Pleasant surroundings very clean and warm. The quality of the food was poor. The jumbo cod was small and not very tasty with sparse amounts of vegetables.at £18 although 2 for one The invoice was also wrong at the end and overcharged £7.70. Which was altered after I complained. Not the quality we expect so won't visit again.

  • 5/5 mario m. 2 years ago on Google
    The service we had was excellent. From arriving at the front door we were greeted by the manager and shown to a table. Our waitress, Abbie, was amazing. She is on the ball big time! Pleasant friendly and super efficient. She was taking our order for drinks and food within minutes of being seated and came to check all was good once food had arrived. At the end she sorted the bill really quickly. What an asset she is. I must also comment that the food was brilliant. Really well cooked and good quality and value for money and ready very quickly despite being busy so compliments to the kitchen staff. My partner and I will be back repeatedly!!

  • 5/5 Sotha S. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited here yesterday for the first time and it certainly won't be the last! We booked a table for 3pm but had arrived an hour earlier, despite this we were found a table and seated straight away by a very lovely waitress. The pub is beautifully decorated and seemed very clean. The menu had a nice selection of items, and I was pleased by the different vegetarian options as they can be hit-or-miss at pubs. Our drinks, starter, mains, and desserts all arrived very fast and were all delicious. The waiters and waitresses were all very friendly and professional, they checked in on us often and we were never left waiting. We look forward to returning soon!

  • 5/5 r k. 2 years ago on Google
    We called in Wednesday lunchtime. Plenty of room, friendly efficient staff. Acceptable waiting time for the food to arrive. I have to say the food was the best we've had there. The fish and chips were beautifully cooked. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Elle m. 2 years ago on Google
    I came yesterday with my partner and little ones. First time, but won't be the last. Staff were lovely and really accommodating. The kids meals for a £1 is an absolute bargain!! I wasn't sure what to expect for a pound but it was a really good meal and my 2 loved it. Our food was delicious and arrived quickly and I will definitely be going there again soon. A full 5 out of 5!

  • 5/5 Jeanette C. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Michael K. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited here on a Tuesday evening and was pretty quiet. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly. We hadn't intended to eat but decided to. The food was prepared very quickly and was of a good standard. The appearance of the pub was very clean and tidy. Would happily Visit again

  • 5/5 Phill O. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited the Red Kite for food, right from the moment we walked in the service was great, really friendly manager greeted us and showed us to our table, we were served by Mollie and she was great, nothing was too much trouble, the food came quickly and was superb. We were pretty full after our meal but Mollie convinced us to try the red velvet cheesecake and it was stunning. All round a brilliant visit. Will definitely be back.

  • 4/5 Martyn H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice pub. We had a Sunday roast each. Buy one get one free! I'm not normally one to complain! But there was hardly any gravy and they didn't bring our drinks until we reminded them twice! The rest of menu might be a better option. Won't be having a Sunday roast there again. But might try something different on the menu! Nice clean pub! No real area for smokers! Even tho they have an outdoor seating area!

  • 5/5 Pamela M. 1 year ago on Google
    It was very quiet at the time of our visit, so we were able to sit pretty much anywhere as advised by a staff member. We then ordered our meal and drinks via the app on the table, and it was delivered to us without having to wait too long. The waitress who brought our meals was very professional and attentive, asking if there was anything else we needed. On leaving, the bar staff said goodbye, and thank you. All in all it was a very good experience, and although this particular time was very quiet, I have also been on a very busy night and experience the same high quality of service and politeness from staff.

  • 1/5 Andrew G. 1 year ago on Google
    Most importantly very limited vegan options which meant my partner, who didn’t want spicy food at lunchtime, had to order a side dish and a starter, both deep fried which doesn’t sit well with a healthy life style. Secondly waitress service is no longer provided, so ordered from the app so the one starter which was supposed to be part of a main meal arrived, this had to be eaten and plate taken back before kitchen cooked the other mains! My partner then got her side dish about 15 minutes after eating her ‘starter’. We arrived at 12:30 and didn’t get the main part of the meal until 13:35. Waitresses were lovely but as they are no longer taking orders there is very little interaction with them which there always has been. Certainly won’t be returning which is a shame as we have been going to the Red Kite every 2 weeks for many years until the menu changed.

  • 1/5 Zoe M. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been to the red kite 3 times and 3 times the food has been bland and over priced but nothing prepared me for today's prices. £3.85 for a pint of lemonade and £19.10 for a chicken Alfredo that was so small and basic and lacking in flavor and the garlic bread that accompanied it was dry tasteless and overcooked. The service was far too slow considering there were only 4 diners including us at the time.there definitely will not be a fourth visit and I can't recommend this established if 0 stars were an option that would be my rating

  • 4/5 Scott M. 1 year ago on Google
    Always great food and service, can be a bit of a wait for a table. Venue has outdoor, heated and sheltered seating available where behaved dogs are welcome. Only reason why I didn't give 5 Stars was that I reserved a table to which was taken up so had to wait, regardless it's a go to place for food. Recommend the Red Kite all the time.

  • 5/5 Angela D. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited for my mother's birthday lunch. My parents are both 88 and feel safe in your establishment with the current coronavirus rules. Everything was clean and safe. Only one complaint, carrots weren't cooked properly. We will certainly visit again soon. Thank you Angela Davies

  • 2/5 Harriet V. 1 year ago on Google
    Bar staff very friendly and helpful. When food arrived my partners had garnish / salad which we requested not to have, we told this to the female waitress who whipped the plate back off table , didn't even say I'm so sorry I will get it changed just face like thunder and straight back into the kitchen. We understand orders get mixed up but her attitude stank.

  • 5/5 Natalie C. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Lovely staff, always friendly, polite and go out of their way to help. Such a great atmosphere and we always come back! Had a lovely Christmas dinner and a catch up with a friend and the staff made it perfect for us so thank you very much!

    The food was nice but the service was appalling There was 4 of us. We ordered our meals and drinks. The drinks took forever as with our meals. Me and my wife had our meals and finished eating but our friends was still waiting for theirs. We had to ask where the other 2 meals are which they finally got but forgot the side dish. Like I said the meals when you finally got them was nice but the service was appalling.

  • 3/5 Phillips A. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Slow service. Waited ages for meals to be delivered, watching other tables served before us. Waited 15 minutes to order desserts but no staff came. Told staff member on till we had been waiting but giving up and going home to which he stated, yeah, I don't blame you. You lost out on another £25+ on my bill due to lack of attention to customer service.
