The Hermit of Redcoats in Hitchin

Ah, The Hermit of Redcoats in Little Wymondley – what a gem it's become under the new folks running the show. From the reviews I've had a look at, it's clear they've really turned things around, with the food stealing the spotlight – think proper homemade dishes that are well-cooked, tasty, and perfect for a special night out, like that lamb roast or a solid burger that folks are raving about. The staff? They're an absolute delight, always polite and on point, making you feel right at ease whether it's your first time or you're a regular. And the atmosphere is just spot on, all cosy and welcoming with those decor updates that give it a fresh feel. It's even great if you're with your dog, as they've made space for them in the bar. On the downside, it's a bit steep on the prices, so you might want to save it for when you're splashing out rather than a quick after-work stop. Plus, with it only open five days, you might find yourself planning around that if you're in the area. All in all, it's a solid choice for a proper pub experience – I'd say give it a go if you're nearby, as the positives far outweigh the niggles, but do keep those cons in mind for a balanced outing.
