About the restaurant

Recently awarded by tripadvisor as “The Best of The Best” in 2020 & 2021. "Traveller's Choice" in 2022.
"Iran is a country with a diverse geography and ethnic population. It sits at the centre of the former Kingdom of Persia, one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilisations. Iran forms a bridge between the Middle East and the Far East in the centre of the ancient Silk Road, a major trading route which goes back tens of thousands of years.

Persian cuisine has influenced many world cuisines, and has absorbed elements from other cuisines as well. It's no surprise that Persian ingredients such as saffron, pomegranate have made their way into other cuisines! As ancient traders took their wares to the corners of the world, they traded goods, bringing back the eating habits and ingredients from Greece, Rome, Turkey, Russia and India. Today's Persian cuisine traces its roots to ancient Persian ingredients and recipes, and is enriched by the great tastes imported from the rest of

I took my parents here for a combined birthday and Father’s Day lunch. My first time going here but they’d been years before and weren’t impressed with the club. But it has since been renovated etc and they both really enjoyed themselves. Most notably was the noise level, it was quite low considering it was fairly busy. I appreciated this a lot as I have sensory issues. The chairs were comfortable and the decor was pleasing. The meals were very generous portions, even the seniors meal. Only complaint was there was no staff on reception and we had to wait a couple of minutes but when we did get help to join etc she was very friendly and helpful. But there really needed to be two staff on front reception as lots of people needed help and were having to wait. My parents will definitely make this their new lunch/dinner place as they live locally.

Paradise Country Farmhouse Buffet Dinner is hands down the most affordable and convenient way to take my family of six out for a meal. The food is fresh, and for a buffet, it’s excellent value for money. There’s something for everyone, from hearty dishes to lighter options. It’s perfect for families looking for a budget-friendly dining experience without compromising on quality. Highly recommend it for a casual night out!

My sister loved her meal and that was the main thing as it was her birthday but for me who dodges gluten and dairy I found the menu very limited. I had half a scone from my daughters scones and half a piece of toast from my sisters breakfast so paying for it today. If you are normal person who does not need to avoid certain food groups then it’s really a lovely space to come. Years ago there was better options in the menu so I didn’t even think to check before I booked like u normally do.
