EVENTS
Whether you fancy testing your trivia knowledge, discovering new wines with your little one in tow, or celebrating something special, there's always something happening at Kite at The Red Hart. From our irreverent monthly pub quiz with rounds like "Phamous Phils" and "The Future is Feminist" to our relaxed wine tastings designed specifically for local parents, we've created events that bring the Hitchin community together over good food, great drinks, and proper conversation. Plus, we love an excuse for seasonal dining – Valentine's, Oktoberfest, you name it. Check out what's coming up and book your spot
Mothers Day 2026
Is that time of the year when you really get to say thank you to that special lady in your life.
Treat them to a Sunday roast like no other at Kite.
Choose from 28-day Himalayan salt-aged beef sirloin or slow-cooked pork loin with all the trimmings; crisp roast potatoes, winter greens, glazed carrots, cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire pudding, or a root vegetable Wellington for a meat-free option.
Sound the horn, gather the clan, book in today.
