The Paris House

Lovely atmosphere with live jazz on a Monday afternoon. You really could be in France. I went to use the gents and they have taken the Parisian theme a bit too far trying to create the feel of a street pissoir on a damp day and a toilette sans seat for the derrière. Expensive beer but you’re paying for the entertainment which is fine. Well worth visiting.

We were looking for a place with live music, and found it! We went on a Sunday evening when Polito Boogaloo were playing. They are a Colombian dance band. Fantastic get you up out of your seat music. Everyone got up to dance. The Paris House is a small pub, with French styling, I believe there were French bar staff, well according to my partner. We stuck with Symmonds cider although there is a huge wine list available. We chose two toasties from the menu, which is small but has enough on for most people. The toasties arrived with a salad garnish. Very very tasty toasties. This place has a nice relaxed vibe, definitely no pretentiousness here. A good mix of people which adds to the welcoming atmosphere, this is something I think the owners should be proud of. My only criticism was the dust. I'm so sorry, but I've never seen so much dust anywhere. I convinced myself that it adds to the ambience I loved this place that much. But, as food is served here maybe give a good clean of these areas. We would most definitely be back however. Oh I've only given 4 stars purely because of the dust issue. Sort that and you'd be a 5!!
