The Red House Inn in Telford and Wrekin

Could only give 4 stars for atmosphere as we were there for lunch and it was very quiet. But that did not detract from good food and attentive staff.

We came here for an anniversary meal, we had our 1st date in this pub 30 years ago to the day!! The food was lovely, and, as at all the other paragon venues we go to, the service was excellent! Thank you for making the evening special!

Me and my friend came here for her birthday and had the most wonderful time. The whole team took care of us, and sang to her with a birthday cheesecake. We had a lovely time from start to finish, all food and drinks were top tier xx

We all had a lovely family Easter Meal this afternoon. We were looked after by Ollie who was a lovely young man, who was funny, attentive and professional. Thanks for looking after us.

Amazing new menu, especially the scotch egg starter! Great service and atmosphere! 5 stars!

Great food, tasty cocktails with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely go back

Booked last minute for early evening meal, Great service and food and reasonable prices lunch time menu

We went here for a bottomless brunch for my belated birthday celebrations and it was AMAZING. Service was incredible, especially from Enrique! He looked after us the whole time and was so attentive and friendly. He’s an absolute credit to your team. Food, drinks, all was perfect. Thank you!

Best restaurant in the area. Service is excellent, lunchtime or evening the food and the wine is really good.

Wonderful little gem right on the roundabout. Food was lovely service was attentive..nice dark and moody atmosphere.

I've been here a few times and it is always brilliant, lovely place, highly recommended

We booked bottomless brunch for 5, the food was really good, especially the all day breakfast and steak. The drinks were limited choice wise but they were good cocktails and the staff were very attentive to ensure we always had a drink.

Very pleased, good food and very nice surroundings would fully recommend. AAAAAAAAAAAA +++++++++++++ 2ND visit so not a one off.

This place has been a regular for me and my family for months now. Every visit is great and the service is unmatched. Kenan and Grace are lovely, we look forward to seeing you every week.

Beautiful food, fantastic service and a great atmosphere. Loved every minute and felt very well looked after. Will definitely be returning.

Nice food with amazing atmosphere

Food was very nice would definitely recommend in coming here

Shout out to the tall Portuguese guy with glasses! Amazing service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very nice food and Henrique was a great host!

The staff were really welcoming. The food was well presented and tasty. Very nice atmosphere.

Had a lovely evening at the Redhouse for our term time catch up! Henrique was incredible and we had a lovely evening

We go here at least once a week and the food and service is always perfect. Staff are always warm and welcoming and their attention to detail of our preferences is second to none. The managers are incredibly professional, Grace in particular is lovely, always takes the time to have a catch up and talk to our children (she even knows their names). Keep up the great work, Red House staff.

Don’t think we shall be returning! A girlie get together turned sour because of the dire service we received by the chaotic staff! We had several waiters serve us all of which did not seem to have a clue once the drink order was made to what was brought back to us - we had a drink spilt by one waitress who quickly gave us blue roll to clean it up ourselves by which time it had seeped through the gaps and wet my legs leaving me with soggy jeans! At the end of our brunch we all settled our bill with the waitress and then we went outside to wait for our lifts home Several hours later the organiser had a voice note to ring the Red House and pay the outstanding bill of £109 - totally confused coz we all paid at the table and all have receipts!! The organiser rang and after a few hours of investigating the Red House said it was a mistake on their part and no further money needed!! Totally unacceptable for the distress caused!

Thanks Ollie for looking after a couple of roaming Scots.

Amazing experience from entrance to exit we were taken care of by staff , the food was amazing , food was cooked perfectly. A special thankyou to Grace for making the night so unforgettable

Ollie WJ was polite and entertaining.

Came here multiple times and it’s always a wonderful experience. Service is top notch, and someone always comes by to make sure things are going well. The food is incredible, drinks are delicious - can’t fault this place. Would recommend 10/10 for a family meal, or even a date night (the atmosphere is amazing!). Special shout out to Grace, always doing her best to make things special for us!

Gorgeous afternoon in the Secret Garden for a drink and a pizza. Fabulous food - the mushroom pizza was a delight - the drinks were spot on. Will definitely be back for more lazy afternoons in yhe sun

Wow just amazing service and food. Can’t wait to return

As a couple and family we have visited the Redhouse Lilleshall on a regular basis but even so I was still a little nervous when booking for three events in eight days. Fear not everything was perfect. Took my mum for mother's day and despite a very busy restaurant the meal was great. Hot tasty food served by happy friendly staff without lengthy delays. Each dish looked good and was well presented despite a busy kitchen nothing was amiss. Another positive no inflated price rise as it was a special occasion which I find really annoying especially when it is the same menu as a normal Sunday. On the Wednesday dined with two friends to celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary and three of the party ordered from the two courses for £22s. We were expecting slightly smaller portions but no, portion size good and again no issues at all and for a Wednesday evening busy but not too noisy or crowded, you were able to talk and catch up without shouting or struggling to hear. Sunday lunch saw nine of us celebrate my mums birthday and again amazing food, attentive staff and a lovely touch a cake for the birthday girl. Nine different choices all arrived hot and well presented and no long delays or wait. I do not need an excuse to revist but the Redhouse is definitely my to go place for a celebration. Thank you all for making three special occasions even more special. See you soon

We went for a bottomless brunch there but the service was slow, I waited a while for my drink which got mixed up with a mocktail and one member of staff tipped 2 drinks over the table! The next day, the party organiser received a phone call to say we owe over £100 for drinks we had outside afterwards when we only took the drinks we already had there! They admitted for also calling other people to say they owed them as well! They were disorganised and had no idea what was going on. This is not acceptable at all and it is disappointing.

I would strongly advise future guests to carefully review their bills when attending the bottomless brunch here. After the event, I received a phone call claiming that we owed £110 for additional drinks, despite only participating in the brunch and waiting outside for our ride afterward. When I requested a detailed breakdown of the charges, I was given vague verbal information, none of which matched anything we had ordered. We firmly stated that we would not be paying for the disputed charges, as we had not consumed any additional drinks. Shockingly, I was then informed that other tables had been contacted for the same "outstanding balance" issue. Rather than addressing the situation with care and confirming the details before accusing us, we were prematurely expected to pay for something they weren’t even sure about. To make matters worse, a friend in a separate party confirmed that they had experienced a similar issue, where additional drinks were incorrectly added to their tab, forcing them to dispute the charges. The entire experience was chaotic and incredibly frustrating. On top of the billing issues, I had a drink spilled on me and my phone, and service was painfully slow due to the venue being overbooked. I deeply regret not voicing my complaints sooner, but overall, I will not be returning. Management needs further training in both customer service and billing practices.

9 of us went for bottomless brunch yesterday, service was ridiculous slow the server tipped 2 drinks over our table at different occasions now I understand how a bottomless brunch works but for 9 of us to only have 3/4 drinks each when we're paying £35 a person is unacceptable when we finished the brunch we took what we had left of our drinks outside to sit in the sun until lifts arrived to pick people up, for us then to get a call at 20 to 11 last night then another call this morning to say we owe over £100 for drinks we had outside, we did not order drinks outside, after a long conversation with the red house they said they weren't even sure if the drinks were ours but rang us to pay the bill anyway! The red house saw 9 women who had had a drink and thought they could take advantage of us! As this is a local pub that many of us have been a number of times a can guarantee that none of us will ever be returning here! They had no idea what was going on they had to many people booked in, I dread to think how many people this has happened to people who may of just paid the extra instead of questioning it like we did, totally unacceptable especially from such a well regarded pub! We are do disgusting and really left a bad taste in our mouths stay away for bottomless brunch!!

Recommend this little gem from a friend and it didn’t disappoint.! Will definitely be back Our server was Cam he is absolutely fabulous and his upselling skills are brilliant , a very witty and charming young man . It was a pleasure to have been served by you .The food was lovley and the atmosphere in the restaurant was nice 😊

Always come here with family and always a lovely experience . Thai skewers are great and friendly staff. Nice for occasions

The staff were impeccable, Connor the chef did such a good job with the food compliments to Connor and Grace! Wonderful experience.

Never been hear before so drove past and decided to give it a try, food was beautiful but service was non existent even had to go up after 10 minutes and grab our own drinks off the bar, no check back on food or anything, a passing barman cleared our plates and took our dessert order he was great!

Great restaurant, food was lovely and our waiter Cam was extremely helpful.

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.

A lovely lunchtime visit which was made by the attentive staff. Our waiter, Ryan, was particularly helpful and had an approachable, fun but conscientious attitude.

Always excellent - takes the term ‘gastro’ pub’ to another level!

Very disappointing meal. I ordered Caesar salad with chargrilled chicken. The chicken was undercooked and pink which I pointed out to the waiter. The meal was replaced by which time the other person I was with had finished eating her meal. So we ate separately. The salad was mediocre at best for the price, probably the worse Caesar salad I’ve eaten… and I’ve had a few! Whilst there was an apology no money was taken off the bill which is poor. I didn’t want to further ruin the night by raising it with the waiter. I don’t think the onus should be on the customer to do so, basic customer service lacking.

Ollie WJ is the only reason this review is 2 star. I had had a steak with chunky chips and we discovered what we could only conclude as a winged bug attached to one of the chips!!!! I showed this to a waitress who very quickly sorted me a new lot of chips. I do have to say that the steak was cooked perfectly but the dish was let down by the chips situation. However, a member of management did try to justify it was a growth from the types of potatoes they use, even though he stated they are peeled and chopped so you can imagine our confusion at this plus it very clearly had legs. I understand that these things happen but I felt like he was trying to tell me I was wrong! Probably because there was a large table behind us. It was eventually dealt with in a satisfactory manner where we had the meal removed from the bill. For desert we were told by another member of staff on the white chocolate and banoffee cookie dough desert we ordered that we couldn't swap the banana ice cream for vanilla so I had to choose a different one but Ollie WJ did get this sorted and made it happen. The member of staff was on their first shift but in this industry you should know to just check with someone who's worked there a few shifts or with management so a little confused about the misalignment here. In summary, management do need to address this and ensure that staff are trained and equipped with what is available etc like Ollie WJ is or introduce a shadowing scheme for new staff; as this is basic.

It was very nice I would definitely recommend it, service was really quick. It was very clean and quite modern food looked amazing and tasted as good as it looked Over all very good 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This would be a 1 star review if it wasn't for the magnificent service from Ollie WJ. My wife had a steak with chunky chips and we discovered what we could only conclude as a winged bug attached to one of the chips!!!! We mad this quite clear and it was dealt with, eventually, in a satisfactory manner where we had the meal removed from the bill. However, a member of management did try to justify it was a growth from the types of potatoes they use, even though he stated they are peeled and chopped so you can imagine our confusion at this. For desert we were told by another member of staff on the white chocolate and banoffee cookie dough desert we ordered that we couldn't swap the banana ice cream for vanilla so I had to choose a different one but Ollie WJ did get this sorted and made it happen. The member of staff was on their first shift but in this industry you should know to just check with someone who's worked there a few shifts or with management so a little confused about the misalignment here. In summary, management do need to address this and do better next time and ensure that staff are trained and equipped like Ollie WJ is or introduce a shadowing scheme for new staff; as this is basic. Huge thank you to Ollie WJ though. He restored this to a 3 star review. Otherwise it would have been 1.

Booked very last minute for a breakfast on Mother’s Day. Very accommodating and full English breakfast was brilliant. Highly recommend.

Love this place. For atmosphere, food and especially friendly service. Great Mother's Day lunch! Really hit the mark. Best whitebait anywhere around here!! Thanks guys!

Lovely staff, very kind and welcoming. 5 ☆ service

Excellent food, location and service!

Solid upgrade for what used to be an unremarkable pub outside my home village and is now at the mid-top end of the gastropub spectrum. Took mum there on a recent visit and we enjoyed excellent friendly service (thanks, Cam) and well made, tasty food in reasonable portions with interesting flourishes (tempura capers are something I will have to have a crack at in my own kitchen). If you’re local and haven’t checked in at this place since it had a Wacky Warehouse I’d recommend another look.

Absolutely delicious meal, our first time visiting and we’ll definitely be back. Our server Cam was great, very friendly and made us feel super relaxed. Both our meals were just faultless and so tasty! Although in the end it didn’t affect our meal on arrival we were told we only had the table for 1:15mins (as standard for 2people bookings) which we weren’t aware of and were concerned that we wouldn’t have time for more than once course. We did stay and enjoy puddings and weren’t rushed from our table at any point but I do think that time window for a meal is rather short. We will definitely return though 100% happy with the food, service and atmosphere.

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!

The second we walked in the service was amazing, all the staff were so lovely and welcoming and the food was delivered quick and tasted beautiful, we were celebrating a birthday and got a lovely card from the staff as well as a suprise treat (which tasted delicious!!) The atmosphere was gorgeous and it is wheelchair accessible too. I highly recommend this place to everyone ☺️

This is an amazing place to go out for dinner, the service and atmosphere it's always top quality but the food could be better... there's always room for improvement!

Got the atmosphere and food on point

Attended last week for a post birthday meal with friends. The venue is beautiful and food was excellent as always. The staff were polite, attentive, helpful and even brought over some surprise cakes and sang happy birthday! Highly recommend.

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!

Our server Ollie C was great and chatty, our food was great and a good atmosphere.

Consistently excellent food, great atmosphere and superb service. We have recently been to the Red House for a 60th family birthday party - there is nowhere else we would have chosen. We love it!

Exceptional food at an extremely reasonable price. Amazing service - particularly our waiter Ollie. Would highly recommend!

Great food & atmosphere, even midweek. Linguine is recommend or the goats cheese pizza

Thank you Ollie! Food was amazing and service was perfect!

Went for bottomless brunch and loved it, whilst there isn't a vast choice of cocktails they are certainly not reduced in alcohol like anywhere else I've been too. Staff amazing.

Service was good and staff very attentive. Food was extremely disappointing. Gnocchi was over cooked and soggy. Curry sauce for Thai skewers was overly salty, only to be told that they don't make it there but it is pre-made elsewhere. Chicken pie was dry and bland with no gravy or sauce. Suet pudding was ok.... just ok!, but what was the crusty dried up lump on top of it? Overall well below expectations and certainly not worth the price charged.

We came for a late supper /reunion. The food was fantastic all around, pizzas, salads, burgers and gluten free options. Our waiter was super, funny and accommodating. Would recommend The Red House on all counts. Thank you team x

Lovely meal, friendly helpful staff. Great atmosphere...only reason I give 4 stars it was very busy and a slight delay on request, but still very lovely experience.

Lovely meal, great atmosphere and amazing service from Cam! Thank you for a lovely meal :)

Chelsea was so lovely, very attentive and great service all round😊 thank you Chelsea!!

Food very nice but to loud couldn't here the waitress background music to loud and other diners excessively loud

1st time id been, very good menu, food, atmosphere and service, would recommend

Visited here for our 30th anniversary and it didn’t disappoint. We were looked after by Enrique, who made the evening very special, nothing was to much trouble. The little touches the team at the Red house made meant a lot - thank you ☺️

I like to leave a "cooling off" period before I leave a review. So here goes on a Monday morning after the weekend meal. Absolutely fantastic experience. The initial contact with front of house was spot on. Polite, professional and efficient. Drinks arranged almost immediately. Our particular waiter, Enrique, was superb. Very attentive but in no way overbearing. The food was excellent and plentiful. I vaguely remember going to the Red House a couple of years ago and the portions being a bit meagre but this certainly wasn't the case this time. My Wife is a vegetarian and she loved the choices offered. I personally like a bit of space between tables as I don't like listening to other diners conversations, this was catered for with sufficient gaps between the tables and a bit of background music to add to the atmosphere. Not the cheapest meal but you get what you pay for. I like to allocate restaurants a football league position. The Red House is definitely Premiership if not Champions league. Superb.

Lots of free spaces on the car park, there would be a time in the past when you’d struggle to park on a Saturday evening so this was a lovely bonus. We chanced getting a table without booking prior as it was a last minute decision. Managed to get a table for four without a wait even though it was busy with a buzz of people inside-we were told they would need the table back in an hour which we were happy with as we were just wanting to eat and go. Food was good, drinks and meals arrived swiftly. Reason for 4 stars is due to the state of the womens toilets-on entering there was tissue all over the floor, bin full of tissues and nappies and most of the cubicles with no toilet roll… and some of the ones that did the rolls were on the floor so not too hygienic! I’m guessing that inspections may have fallen behind due to how busy it was but I know if it was my first visit it may put me off revisiting but luckily I know what their usual standards are lol. I did mention to a passing member of staff when I got back to the table, she apologised and said she would go see to it straight away.

Got recommended to try the Red House by a friend , and we were not disappointed, super service by our server Chelsea, very attentive and there we we needed, food was amazing and good portions sizes. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We will definitely be returning.

Best place around! 10/10 service, will definitely be returning.

A really smart restaurant, great fell to the place amazing menu and great food

The experience was perfect from the get go. Booking online was simple, the team were attentive but not invasive, we wanted for nothing. The food was presented well, hot and decent. Definitely a favourite.

Best looking restaurant I’ve been to. Food is as good as it gets and Cam S deserves a bonus.

Fantastic choice from 3 menus at lunchtime. A slight delay but they were pleasant and the food delicious. Great variety of choices to suit any palette. Great location. Hope to return soon.

Very poor service, but the food is good

Highly recommend. Great atmosphere, great staff, and great food. What more could you ask for. Will definitely be going back. A special mention for Grace who made the evening even more special with her friendly and attentive manner.

Really enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. I will definitely return

What a great find, such an unassuming outside but inside it was fabulous, great decor and fantastic arrangement of tables and drinking spaces. Such a wide choice of options with three menus and we all had a very difficult time trying to make up our minds just what to have. We will definitely be visiting again in the not too distant future.

Not going to lie we were worried we might have to wait for food as it was really busy, but needn’t of been as the food flowed perfectly, great portions nice and hot no delays or waiting. Staff were friendly, efficient and really helpful. Highly recommend this place, great interiors and atmosphere too.

We were a group of 14 here for a birthday celebration. The service we received from Shannon was excellent and she was both friendly and helpful. All of the food was delicious especially the deserts and the fact that they provided birthday cake for all of the 3 birthday people was a lovely surprise. Thank you for making our meal a memorable event.

Very disappointed! Not busy on a Monday night Service was terrible 1 meal missed Eventually turned up when everyone else finished, side salad missing, another wait Waiter without asking offered gestures, so he new the service was unacceptable £400 bill, he did again without asking knock off service charge and 1 meal, disappointing as it’s a lovely place

Oh my god , the food here is to die for ,trust me - you will not be disappointed. Atmosphere is fantastic, and considering the majority of staff are of such a young age , this is so well run . I have been 3 times since November, and each time as good as the last . Very professionally ran, so welcoming on arrival, would highly recommend.

Drive a long way for a Sunday lunch on my husbands birthday and there was a power cut we wasn’t offered any drinks or refreshments while this was happening so we left

Lovely atmosphere. Great good. Staff are welcoming.

Food was lovely, one of the party had an issue with no fish in the batter and then next time it was under cooked, hence only 4 stars.

the service was absolutely amazing from Ollie JW who was so helpful and bubbly making us feel so welcome and comfortable. The food was also amazing couldn't fault anything! look forwards to coming back soon can't recommend it enough !

A very pleasant evening to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The staff sang Happy Birthday and even provided a complimentary birthday cheesecake for her! Shannon our waitress was the perfect host. Thank you 🤩

Will defo be back and will definitely be telling all me pals :)

Superb food, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. Already looking forward to my next visit.

My friend came here for our monthly catch up. Waiter was polite, funny and informative. We both opted for the Sea Bass which was totally delicious. We only ate main meal and had one drink each. Will say, as I was the driver I opted for lime with soda and well done bar staff as they mixed the drink before it being served, unlike a lot of local eateries!!

Food was ok. Over priced for what you got. One of our starters never arrived. Not are how hard it can be to cook garlic bread. The staff were lovely. Very attentive. They did knock a small amount off the bill.

An amazing place with very pleasant ambience. Our first visit but definitely not the last. Food excellent. Service friendly and efficient.

The pub was very quiet as they hadn't long opened. After placing our order we waited 50 minutes before a member of staff came to tell us there had been a glitch putting our order through and it was just going through now. He did apologise but we still got charged a service charge which we noticed after we paid the bill otherwise we would have asked for it to be removed

The Red House is hit or miss in my experience. I visited twice this week. On Monday for a business lunch we received exceptional service—friendly and efficient. Food and drinks were promptly served. On Sunday for brunch with my wife the service was sluggish and unwelcoming. We could see our coffee sat unattended for 10-15 minutes, arriving cold. Breakfast was merely lukewarm and our eggs were undercooked. Overall I’d rate Monday’s experience 5 stars and Sunday’s 1 star. This is consistent with the last 10-15 times I’ve visited-it can be really good or really bad!

Absolutely amazing service and food, the environment was warm and welcoming but not too overwhelming, the server, cam, was lovely and treated us amazingly. The burger was some of the best food I've ever had and I would recommend this to anyone in the area.
