Farm-to-Fork
Food at The Farmhouse starts with the ingredients. We work closely with local farmers and trusted shoots, source seafood from the North Norfolk coast and grow fruit, vegetables, herbs and edible flowers in our own no-dig garden, just a few steps from the kitchen.
Led by the seasons, our 2 AA Rosette kitchen brings those ingredients together across everything from relaxed weekday lunches and weekly homegrown specials to dinner, Sunday roasts and some rather special foodie events throughout the year.
Come and take a seat around our table.
We welcome bookings of any size; for tables of 8 or less, please book online below. For tables of 9+ please email our team or give us a call.
Our Menus:
Whether you're enjoying a flavour packed breakfast, a getaway lunch in Hertfordshire, a superb Afternoon Tea, all the trimmings on our Sunday roasts or a romantic dinner, eating at The Farmhouse at Redcoats promises to be a memorable experience that will leave a lasting impression.

Weekly Homegrown Specials
Alongside our farm-to-fork menu, each week our Farmhouse chefs create a changing selection of lunchtime specials inspired by the season and what’s growing locally.
It’s a chance for the kitchen to be led by the ingredients available to them, with vegetables, herbs and produce from our own no-dig garden taking centre stage wherever possible. Grown just a few steps from the kitchen, what’s picked from the garden can be inspiring the specials board that very same day.
Whether you’re meeting friends, catching up between meetings or simply fancy a good lunch in the Hertfordshire countryside, join us in the Orangery or, when the weather allows, outside on the terrace.
Lunch is served Monday to Friday, 12–2.30pm. Booking is highly recommended, but if you’re passing, pop in and we’ll always do our best to find you a table.
