It is exemely good for pub food. It is also popular with families as they do a really good kids menu. The staff are really friendly and helpful. If you are going for lunch, I would recommend phoning ahead as you can have a bit of a wait which can be quite stressful if you are on a lunch hour. The wait is worth it though as the food is freshly prepared and delicious. Try the macaroni cheese and be unhealthy and get the chips too - you won't regret it!

The Corner Bar has been in the village since long before my arrival in the village. It has always…read morehad a faithful clientele for the very good reason that it is a super pub. 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.

Great wee pub with friendly barstaff. Two lounges to relax in one with TV. Well recommended.read more

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.

Currently the yelp Foxs and hound paisley page is a duplicate page for the Fox and Hound in…read moreRenfrewshire. Since this yelp was created first I will rate on this page. 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.

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.

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.
