The Fox and Hound is a charming pub in Renfrewshire's Houstoun. It is divided into two bars…read moredownstairs and a restaurant upstairs, the latter of which I visited for lunch a few days ago. The restaurant offers a lunchtime deal of two courses for £10. I decided just to order off the menu however, as I didn't fancy the vegetarian option. To start I got the courgette fritters which were very tasty. For the main I plumped for the apple and mushroom stroganoff which was decent pub plain fare but not worth the £8 price tag in my opinion The Fox and Hound was the perfect place for a family lunch. We arrived with two babies in tow which was easily accommodated. My only other complaint is the fact that the restaurant closes between 3 and 5pm, leaving not much time to linger over a cup of tea.

I thought this place closed down as there were no current ratings for 2014. This pub is difficult to find after exiting off the main freeway but our group was able to find it with help from local businesses outside of Glasgow. This building is inviting and warm. Bought a pint of Houston Warlock and 1/2 pint of Killellen reasonably priced at about 3.5 pounds and 1.8 respectively. The flavor of the warlock was too bitter and dark but drinkable. The Killellen tasted as a pale ale should, tart and acidic. The microbrewery is located on the premise and you can purchase a case of beer to go. No shirts or hats for sale. :-). The carpet is unique as the fireplace and lounge area. Families do congregate here as well as the young folks who like to drink beer. The town of Houston is suburban and quiet. Lots of Mercedes and Porsches driving amongst the coaches and economy cars passing by. Hehehe Haven't tried the food but would come back for a pint of Guinness or Warlock.

O.K. it is not a "real ale" pub but you get a really warm welcome when you come in and the locals really warm to visitors and do their best to accommodate them. Also, their beers taste great and are always available. Of note, the house dram, is the cheapest in the village. If you come to Lochwinnoch and want to visit a non catering pub, then the Corner Bar is for you.

Oh, and if you can give me my own wee room with a roaring fire, personal TV screen and enough room to stretch out with a couple of mates and a few quiet pints that'd be nice too. Charge forward, the marvellous Bull Inn, the shining light of the Paisley bar scene which has been keeping Buddies happy since 1901, making it officially the oldest pub in the town. The Bull is as handsome a bar as you will find in the west of Scotland and its traditional fittings and homely atmosphere are almost worth the jaunt to Paisley alone. If you do manage to bag one of its four snugs (unlikely during lunch times and big match days) then make sure you cancel any prior arrangements. Trust me, you'll not want to leave here for a very, very long time.

I found myself looking for a new local after the Fox and Hounds was sold. The Fox is a traditional…read morepub with its own brewery and an old world charm of a proper village pub. The new owners however appear intent on destroying this so its no longer the same Fox we loved. The Houston Inn sits at the top of the road and from the outside has the same old world charm. Inside it is more modern, all wood and leather chairs. For me it doesn't gave the same old world charm that the Fox had but it was growing on me. Price wise it is cheaper than the Fox (£10.40 for two glasses of red and a pint) and has a few different wines on offer (unlike the Fox under its new ownership), It seems to do well for food - solid pub type dishes (fish and chips, lamb shanks, burgers), all reasonably prices and the food coming out looked lovely! I think it will take a few more visits till it settles into being my new local when I'm visiting family but even after a couple of hours it was growing on me, so its a good start with its decent prices and efficient staff.

The Houston Inn was recently refurbished to within an inch of it's life and I have to say I am not…read morea big fan. With the extremely popular and more traditional Fox and Hound pub across the road, the Houston Inn has gone for a more modern look with leather couches, flat screen TVs, exposed stone walls and coal fires. While the interior is nice it is a little bit cold and unfriendly and not really what I personally look for in a pub. Speaking of cold and unfriendly the staff aren't particularly pleasant considering this is a local village pub where everyone knows everyone and such like. I have eaten here once and it was ok but nothing to write home about. If you ever find yourself in the Houston area I recommend the Fox and Hound over the Houston Inn any day.

We decided to stop at the Jam Jar in Paisley and it ended up being one of the best restaurants that I, personally, have ever been to. The food was excellent and the service was top notch. We had a young woman and gentleman wait on us and they did an excellent job. They were polite and professional. Another gentleman (possibly the owner) came up and checked on us as well and he was also an incredibly friendly person who added to the warm and welcoming ambiance. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is lucky enough to be in such a wonderful part of the world.

I have had many good times in this pub yet it is difficult to find one redeeming feature about it. The staff are grumpy and impatient unless you know them personally, the pool tables are ragged and old and have numerous suspicious looking stains on them, only half of the pub has been refurbished making the place look really bizarre (and it has been left like this for well over two years) and as it is part of the Sizzling Pub group the food is the same God awful stuff you get in all Sizzling Pub group pubs! I went here for Christmas Eve one year and they had a Johnny Cash tribute playing all night, why? On Christmas Eve, why? They also closed at 11pm that night, on Christmas Eve, why? Over all the Bishopton Inn is really rubbish, however if it is with in stumbling distance of your home it is maybe worth a try as they do sell booze after all and sometimes that's all your looking for!
