The Red Hart, Kington — Restaurant in Wychavon

To the negative review about children, I appreciate your entitlement to review a public house, however please appreciate what you write can be hurtful and undermining. The children you talk about were in there as they have not seen each other in a while and because some of them are disabled, and rarely get the opportunity (I also did not know that 9-10 was a mandatory time to remove children on a Friday night) and the pub you so sadly review very negatively, is a place they are welcome, by the considerate landlord who welcomes all. I do apologise if the happy noises made by children offended you, but rest assured I will make sure I do NOT tell them to stop.

Avoid at all costs!! We had booked a table at 7pm..had also telephoned at 6pm to confirm our booking.... arrived at 6.50pm (travelled 40 mins to get there) only to be told when we arrived they'd had a lot of walk ins and restaurant really busy and to expect at least a 30 min delay on food.

Don't bother booking here there is no preference made for bookings vs walk ins, in fact you are at a disadvantage if you take the trouble to book!! . We ate further down road at the oak which was lovely, great customer service and food...
