Quick info
About The Paddox
On Hillmorton Rd in Rugby, The Paddox operates as a pub, restaurant, bar and sports bar under one roof, open daily. The kitchen runs to dishes such as Liver and Onions, Chicken Wings and Yakitori, alongside fish and chips and a Roman Josh and Butter Chicken, with cider on the drinks side. Orders are taken at the bar rather than at the table. Card payments are not accepted for purchases under £10, though a free-withdrawal cash machine inside the pub covers that gap. Step-free access serves visitors with mobility needs, and outdoor seating gives another option for eating and drinking outside. Dogs are welcome throughout. A quiz night runs as a regular fixture, and delivery is available for those eating off site. Reservations are recommended given the range of uses the space covers across a single day.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the fish and chips as a standout, calling it delicious and excellent value, with several also praising the clean, tidy surroundings and friendly staff. A few note a quiet atmosphere, even on lunchtimes, while others highlight the stylish, modern interior and helpful service. The Guinness draws repeated criticism for being overly fizzy. One group reports a long wait for food on a busy day, with only one staff member handling drinks and orders, though the food itself was very nice once served. A reviewer also mentions a minimum card spend requirement.

“We haven’t had any good heat but been here a couple times for a pint, which was lovely and a very nice and tidy clean pub lovely atmosphere!”
- Emma Dibble
“Had a delicious lunch. Fish and chips were amazing. A bit quiet though so atmosphere marked down. This local pub deserves to be busy on a Friday lunchtime. Great menu offering, excellent value, polite staff and spotlessly clean.”
- Sandy Gold
“We went on Bank Holiday Monday, and the pub was empty, with only one other couple waiting for food. Drinks were served straight away, and we were a group of eight. …”
- Angela E
“We stayed here overnight in our motorhome. We enjoyed a drink in the lovely, stylish, modern surroundings. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially when we had a slight miss-hap with one of our windows. We would highly recommend The Paddox Pub.”
