The Red Tile Inn — Restaurant in England

Went here for the Sunday carvery which at £10 is one of the cheapest I know in the area.

Large car park with a few pot holes easily avoided; it is a short walk back to the pub so I dropped my disabled mother off right outside then went to park.

There are a couple of outdoor seating areas available, a swing and a trampoline for kids should the weather suit. A smoking bin is provided outside by the door for anyone needing it.

Inside the pub is in the style of a traditional English country pub, extensive seating flows away to the left of the entrance with a smaller bar area on the right; leading through to what looks like a function room with large screen on the wall. I also noticed a poker table folded away so I’m guessing there are or have been some games evenings at some stage.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, greeted with a smile and an immediate offer of a drink. It wasn’t long before we were invited up to the carvery to get our food; our table being situated in the first part of the seating area to the left of the entrance by a log fire sadly not lit but it wasn’t that cold.

There was a decent selection on the carvery with meat options including Turkey and beef or a nut roast. They also cater for gluten free which is great!

The food itself on the carvery wasn’t too good, I found the parsnips hard, the roast potatoes were okay a little tough and the Turkey was a bit dry. The gravy, veg and pigs in blankets were lovely though.

For dessert I had the apple crumble with pouring cream, it was okay, a little tasteless and could have done with some sugar I guess for taste.

The coffee after was very good.

There is free Wi-Fi available with no password required just select the BT guest option, agree to their terms and conditions and you’re in. The pub is also dog friendly which is great!

Based on this experience I wouldn’t come back for the carvery but I would like to try the normal menu on another day. The pub and staff...

I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful meal. As a coeliac I dread going out for meals as quite often pubs/restaurants don't really understand gluten free, and/or have barely any choice. Not at The Red Tile though! For the first time in a long time I couldn't decide what to choose as I actually had many options. The food tasted amazing and the portions were huge. I have been gluten free since 2017 and the onion rings tasted how i remember them tasting pre coeliac, so much so that I began to doubt they were gluten free (they were!). It just goes to show that gluten free doesn't have to mean to taste free! Thank you so much Mac,...

The food was good but not the best. One of those places that everyone stops talking and turns around to look at you. Then the abrasive and rushed serving staff asks you to order a drink before being seated, sadly you can't see what is available because you can't get near the bar. They didn't have the first 3 drinks we asked for and we just ended up pointing and hoping for the best, it all felt rushed and unwelcoming. The apple crumble was black on top and inedible but the only comment from them was "we will take it off the bill" sorry is not a word they use...
