THE RED HOUSE
Wellington Road, Lilleshall,
Newport TF10 9EW
01952 739048
The Red House in Lilleshall was taken over earlier this year
by the Parogon Group who already have six other very
successful venues, which include The Seven Stars at Brockton,
The Swan with Two Necks, The Wayfarer, The Orange Tree,
Blockhouse at The Sheet Anchor and The Boars Head. After
having invested £950k on refurbishing The Red House and
creating over 70 new jobs in the area, the restaurant opened
its doors on the 10th September 2019.
We were truly amazed when we entered The Red House, you wouldn’t
recognise it was the same place at all – it has had a total transformation
with an amazing unique décor, giving it a whole new life with a modern
classy look. Every section of the restaurant has its own style and design
and includes cosy booths, feature walls, luxury fabrics, contemporary art
and industrial lighting
The outside area has also been transformed with a new secret garden with
fantastic views and includes a mix of different seating areas, including a
fire pit with chairs around it – perfect to sit around on a summer evening.
It was very busy on the night we arrived and we were shown straight
through to our table where our waiter promptly arrived to introduce
himself and give us some menus.
There is a wide selection of dishes on the menu and they cater for all
tastes. The menu is split into sections with starters, main dishes, steaks,
burgers, skewers, pizzas and salads – so plenty of choice. There is also
a menu with vegan and vegetarian dishes and a menu with non-gluten
dishes. A separate children’s menu has a good choice of meals for them
too. A range of sandwiches are available at lunchtimes.
The pizzas are cooked in an impressive large pizza oven situated inside
the restaurant - so you can watch your pizza being made.
