What Bobb Kennedy doesn't like about The Red Duster:
Nice friendly, chatty welcome and service. Menu looked good with plenty of variety but we felt the food didn 't really live up to the promise. It was 'ok ' but didn 't really justify the overall cost of our meal out. I can see the bench seats being an issue for some. View all feedback. What Naomi Turner likes about The Red Duster:
The food was lovely, tasted amazing and was fresh. There was a bit of a wait for it but they did say this upfront and was definitely worth it for freshly cooked food. My only gripe, hence the missing star was the amount of balsamic vinegar on the salmon, was a bit much but not a big issue. View all feedback.

The sweetest restaurant I've ever seen! the food was delicious! rich in taste and stunning presentation! if they are worth a visit in the opposite defos!

The restaurant offers a lovely atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff. While some dishes were underwhelming, others were described as flavorful and well-presented. The menu offers a variety of options, with highlights including the Pineapple and ginger ice-cream and the beetroot and pear starter. The service was praised as outstanding, with staff being described as friendly and real. Overall, the restaurant is recommended for its high-quality food, welcoming atmosphere, and impeccable service.
