Upon entry, we felt comfortable, relaxed, and in capable hands, following a very friendly greeting from the lady waiting by the door. The small waiting area was very nice, overlooking an adjoining bar, where our food orders were taking during a celebratory drink. One curious and strange addition to the decor was a set of life sized child dolls, all facing the wall, resembling a scene from Blair Witch. Very strange indeed, but at least it offered something to talk about. Service was very good, albeit by a couple very young and inexperienced staff. Waiters were pleased to take a photo of all the family, and were very friendly and unpretentious. I have no real complaints, as more formal, 'Michelin Star' style service quite probably would have felt out of place here. The menu was simple, safe, yet comprehensive and fulfilling. The food was very good indeed, for all of the 4 people in our party. Ours choice of starters ranged from mussels, goats cheese, and soup. The mains were equally as fulfilling. Fillet steaks and duck, all perfectly cooked and nicely presented. The choice of side orders was however a little strange we though. 4 options, ranging from basic chips to ratatouille. Some of which didn? fit any of the dishes that we ordered, but perhaps are offered to every diner irrespective of what they are eating. Saying that, there's nothing forcing you to choose anything that doesn? take your fancy. The wine list was extremely reasonably priced, and of a good standard, catering for all but the most discerning of drinkers. This was our first time at the Red Hall, and definitely won? be our last. A superb every day restaurant in cozy surroundings, serving good, well served food at very reasonable prices.
