ABOUT

Kite at The Red Hart is your archetypal neighbourhood gastropub, in the food and drinks game since 1551. Located in Hitchin town centre, we serve a great quality British pub menu, host a jam-packed events calendar and create unique experiences with our venue hire packages.

Our relaxed gastropub is the perfect environment for long lunches, intimate dinners and the chance to relax after a day of shopping in Hitchin. In the summer months, the restaurant extends into our sun-filled courtyard for alfresco dining over lunch, where you can also enjoy a refreshing drink at any time.

Head Chef Olly Varney and his team are committed to seasonality and presenting the best of British cuisine. Our menu is split between more refined dishes if you’re after something elevated, and pub classics for something more indulgent.

On our bar, you’ll find a whole host of international and local craft beers, with specials coming on the list on a weekly basis. We’re also known for our bespoke cocktail list, featuring seasonal in-house recipes alongside a reassuring complement of classic cocktails.
