Hermit of Redcoats in North Hertfordshire

Lovely countryside pub just outside Stevenage. Food and real ale on sale, with friendly staff and a children's play area in the very large rear garden

Maybe we are spoilt by our local. staff super friendly lovely place for a drink but would not eat again shame as used to be a lovely food pub and still very welcoming but food not up to scratch

Great pub. Food is lovely and very welcoming by all the staff members. The pub is dog friendly but divided into two areas one of which dogs arnt allowed. Okay area for children in the large garden also a garden bar for the summer this is definitely worth a visit. I shall be back !!!!

Booked for Sunday lunch expecting a full menu but disappointed menu was extremely restricted. Service not great either, was kept waiting. Nothing on website to suggest menu was restricted and not told when booked table either. Was quite pricey at £14 per head, wasn't good value for what we had.

Food was nice, staff friendly & very attentive. Lovely garden area, be great for summer drinks.

Food disappointing for the price. Tough chicken, burger bun didn't taste fresh. Table missing cutlery and condiments. Staff friendly but service only satisfactory.

Fantastic pub really friendly to use and our dog

Lovely pub, great food, lovely people, brilliant garden and outside bar, table tennis table, cricket and dart board all outside, covered seating with a lovely outside fire and a bbq, what more could you want

Fab place, landlady very friendly and Douglas (or Duncan) the resident dog who knows not to go on the carpet, no matter how often you call him.Went just before lockdown no. 2 for dinner, food was lovely and very good atmosphere. The pub is out of the way, we were staying round the corner so walked here.Apparently they do a mean Sunday roast although not tried so can't comment. If its anything like the food we had though, it will be delicious.Defo pay them a visit, very good value for money!

The management, and especially the chef, should be ashamed of themselves for the food they served us a few weeks back. It was genuinely the single worst meal I’ve ever been served in the UK. The beef was so overcooked and dry it was inedible. Such a shame as this used to be a good pub but has clearly taken a massive dive.
