We had a lovely evening meal here, with Enrique making our time relaxed, fun and everything arriving promptly. We would highly recommend! The panko chicken and the chicken skewers are a personal favourite, with great vegan options too!

I wanted to take my wife out for Valentine’s dinner and heard a lot about The Red House from friends. So 14th Feb 2025 i had booked a table. In entry we were met by front of house and asked to take a drink at bar while table is being prepared. The bar person mixed my wife’s cocktail and didn’t just shake once or they’ve but spent a good minute doing it . Again presentation was excellent. This tells me he takes pride in the job. He is a credit to you . And I told him so . Pics attached . Then we were escorted to our table . There were balloons on table. Our waiter Cam introduced himself and we ordered . Straight away we could tell the professionalism and leadership he had as he engaged with us and got to know us. We had 3 courses and I have to say now they were tremendous. Pics attached . Wife had sharing platter of chicken hallumi curry sausage type with me and then Pork Belly main . I had sharing and Chili prawn linguine and side of garlic bread. Pudding wife was choice of ice cream. Mine was Apple Crumble with clotted cream ice cream. You know, some waiting staff say right what would you like, thank you and go ? Not here ! Overall it was a really lovely night and we were made to feel at ease and valued. Cam needs to be commended. I had a bottle of wine and was brought in a bucket on a stand, he poured a taster sip for me and when accepted, he poured my wife’s first and then me. Everyone from front of house , waiting staff and kitchens made our night so special and I cannot rate this any higher. 10 out of 10 Red House . We will be back . Chris Woodman

I first ate at this place in my teen years when it was a Cavalier steak restaurant during the 1970's and was one of our favourite go-to places for a good value bite to eat. Having since moved away from the area it was great to pay it a visit today for a get-together with friends from that bygone era. Not surprisingly it had changed almost beyond recognition but they were all good. Staff were courteous, friendly and service prompt. The menu was varied and we really were spoilt for choice. The food was excellent and well-presented. Must admit expectations were high after reading some of the reviews beforehand but those expectations were well met and will look forward to another visit sometime soon, I hope.

Absolutely amazing experience at the red house. Everything was perfect, the atmosphere and decoration was lovely. All of the food was incredible! Tasted amazing, great portion sizes, some of the nicest food we have ever had! What made the evening was the kind attentive staff, Grace on front of house was lovely and polite and our waiter (sadly I do not know his name) was amazing! He was so attentive and really cared that we had an enjoyable evening. As we were there for a celebration we were also given a free dessert which was an amazing lovely surprise!! Overall, would highly recommend this restaurant!!

Excellent food. The Sunday roast one of the best we have ever had (best of both) amazing service as well from Ollie and the others who served us. Went beyond expectations for a birthday celebration. The espresso tiramisu is amazing as well! Definitely add the honey pigs in blankets as well to a roast as they were delicious! Probably my favourite of the paragon pubs and will definitely be returning soon!

I had the pleasure of dining at The Red House the day before Valentine's Day, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience! From the moment we walked in, the smooth and effortless management was evident. Despite the bustling atmosphere, every guest was attended to with remarkable care and attention. It was truly impressive to witness such a well-coordinated team. The staff, full of energy and positivity, were not only efficient but also genuinely happy. Their laughter and camaraderie created a warm and inviting environment, making everyone feel at home. It felt like we were receiving VIP hospitality, which made our first visit even more special. A particular highlight was when the manager, Grace, checked in with us multiple times to ensure our satisfaction. Her personal touch made us feel valued, as if we were regulars rather than first-time guests. Grace and her team provided excellent recommendations that encouraged us to explore the menu further, and we were delighted with every dish we tried. The portion sizes were generous and healthy, making the meal even more enjoyable. The atmosphere in the restaurant is absolutely delightful. The positive spirit of the staff was infectious, and when they sang "Happy Birthday" to my partner, the whole restaurant joined in, culminating in a heartfelt round of applause. It was a beautiful moment that truly encapsulated the essence of the experience. Overall, our visit was incredibly enjoyable and wholesome. We’ve undoubtedly found our new favorite place to dine, and we are immensely grateful to Grace and her wonderful team for making our early Valentine’s celebration as memorable as our very first. Highly recommend The Red House for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!
