Yes – inclusivity is at the heart of our menu planning. We offer creative vegetarian and vegan dishes alongside gluten-free and dairy-free options, always using seasonal and local ingredients wherever possible. If you have specific dietary needs, our team will be happy to guide you through the menu.

Our core seasonal menu changes 4-5 times a year, with bi-weekly homegrown specials highlighting what’s at its best in our garden. We also run special themed menus throughout the year, such as Homegrown Supper Clubs, Nose-To-Tail, Feast Over Fire BBQs and Chef's Garden Table.  

You can reserve online via our website, email reservations@farmhouseatredcoats.co.uk, or call us on 01438 729500. If you’d like to experience one of our seasonal events or private dining spaces, we recommend booking early as these fill up quickly.

The Farmhouse at Redcoats is the perfect place to celebrate life’s special moments. Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday dinner, an anniversary lunch, or a gathering with friends, our restaurant offers seasonal, farm-to-fork menus in a beautiful Hertfordshire countryside setting.

For intimate celebrations, you can enjoy a private dining experience in one of our historic rooms, while larger parties can take place in The Barns at Redcoats, just across the courtyard – an barn venue for big gatherings, banquets, music, and dancing. 

Our Afternoon Tea is a much-loved Farmhouse tradition. Served in the Victorian Room, it includes freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, tasty sandwiches, and a selection of seasonal cakes and sweet treats, alongside an exceptional range of teas. 

Afternoon Tea gift vouchers are available and make a wonderful present.

Definitely. The Farmhouse at Redcoats is not only a food destination but also a charming countryside hotel in Hertfordshire. Our ‘Foodie Staycations’ are designed for guests who want to indulge in a full farm-to-fork experience – from seasonal dinners in our restaurant to cocktails in the garden and a restful night’s sleep in one of our boutique rooms. Wake up to a delicious Farmhouse breakfast before exploring the Hertfordshire countryside or nearby town of Hitchin. 

We do. Our private dining rooms are ideal for smaller corporate gatherings (up to 16 guests), while The Barns can host larger business meetings or corporate retreats. Catering can be tailored to your needs, from seasonal lunches to banquets, buffets to multi-course dinners.

We take a 360° approach to sustainability – from sourcing ingredients locally and seasonally to growing our own fruit and vegetables in our thriving no-dig garden. We’re powered by 100% renewable energy and reduce food waste through smart kitchen planning and composting. Our efforts have earned us a 3-star rating from the Sustainable Restaurant Association – their highest award.

We work with trusted local and regional suppliers who share our values of sustainability, traceability, and high animal welfare. Our pork is from Priors Hall Farm, seafood is sustainably caught from North Norfolk waters, and many of our vegetables and herbs come straight from our own on-site no-dig garden – zero miles, zero packaging, and full of flavour.

We are proud to have achieved the maximum 3-Star Food Made Good Award from the Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA) – the highest accolade they offer – which measures sustainability and positive impact across sourcing, society, and environment. We’re especially delighted that ‘Sourcing’ was Anglian Country Inns’ highest-scoring category, reflecting our commitment to full traceability for our top ingredients, the use of local and seasonal produce, and the purchasing of ethically sourced products such as coffee and cocoa.

Scoring 93% by evidencing our support of local farmers and fishermen was also a highlight for us, with the SRA ending the report by suggesting we "celebrate the excellent work we have done to benefit both people and the planet"... we'll take that for now as we continue to strive to improve across all the categories measured.  We aim to 'do it right' always. 

Alongside this, The Farmhouse proudly holds 2 AA Rosettes for culinary excellence, recognising the creativity, quality and provenance of our seasonal menus. These awards together highlight our dedication to exceptional farm-to-fork dining, ethical supply chains, and sustainable hospitality here in Hertfordshire – values that run through everything we do.
