The Fox and Hounds in Renfrewshire

Best pub grub I’ve had in years absolutely delicious and our server David was a top bloke couldn’t do enough to ensure we enjoyed our visit

Great service from staff, couldn’t do enough for us, both very friendly. Staff kindly lit the fire for us, and moved us closer to the fireplace. Food was delicious, piping hot. We both had the steak pie which was recommended by female staff member tonight, presentation of food was lovely, we’ll certainly be back. Thank you Paul and Sharon

Excellent food amazing service ! Best chicken burger I’ve ever had! Staff were attentive and great evening! Definitely recommend for dinner and lovely evening out!

Best breakfast I have had for many moons! Haven't been in Scotland for a fair while and have missed The Full Scottish Breakfast. Fox and Hounds delivers a five star culinary experience!

Food lovely and decent size portions. The desserts were amazing.

I had my husband’s 40th birthday party at the Fox & Hounds in the Hunters Bar lounge. Lauren the manager was very helpful, organised and accommodating when I was planning the party. The staff there were all very attentive and helpful. We had about 40 guests in total including children and they all said that the service and food was excellent! My 9yr old son even said that he wanted to have his birthday party there next year! lol Definitely a great place to have a party.

Worst food I've had in a long time. Made a reservation for the restaurant. We were put in the pub near the door which was open making it cold inside the pub. I had the beef stew with dumpling. The dumpling was inedible. Hard as a rock. 2 people asked for the chicken burger which was dry. One asked for several things to be left off the chicken burger, but they were added anyway. We had been to Carriages before it closed so chose this place as we thought it would be similar standard of food, but it is not. Food was lukewarm. The main courses were so bad that we skipped the dessert. Also, service was extremely slow.

Booked for a family birthday meal and the food and service was amazing. I am celiac, and normally am offered either rissotto or fish as the gluten free option. Not so at the Fox and Hounds, where there were so many options to choose from. I had the fish and chips which was very tasty and so filling I couldn’t eat anything else. Everyone else really enjoyed their meals too and the staff were not only very knowledgable, but friendly and attentive. The restaurant has lovely decor and was comfortable and modern. There was a slight wait for courses, but we were a large group and appreciated the fresh food cooked to order and were happy to take our time and enjoy all this excellent pub has to offer - highly recommended!

We came to Fox and Hound on the advice of our hotel staff. It was worth the drive into the suburbs for the cozy space, great service and delicious food. We benefitted even more from mid-week specials. I'd come here every night were I in the area.

Good choices for brunch, exceptional service. Dog friendly.

Traditional setting, immaculately maintained. Own car park and nice beer garden (but not for today’s weather!). Staff were warm and welcoming, menu extensive and food the hero. Set menu for lunch offered up a saving but we went for the full menu. Every dish landed (from mussels to steak tacos to mac and cheese to steak pie). Desserts were huge and well worth the indulgence. Would recommend.

This place is a real oldy worldy Inn that serves great food. The menu had a good range of choice, and the meal was freshly prepared on order. We all enjoyed the meal.

Excellent venue for 50th birthday party, staff and service couldn’t have been better, and buffet options were great.

Ordered two bloomer sandwiches for lunch. They came and it was two sad toasties obviously using Warbutons bread rather than bloomer loaf. If this was £5, fair enough, but c£9 it was a disgrace. Returned them on the basis that it was not as advertised and the was told that it definitely was bloomer bread. We paid for our drinks and went across to the Houston Inn.

Had a fabulous evening in a cosy and beautiful location. The lovely personnel have made every possible effort to make our evening perfect. We had dinner, coffee and tea and drinks afterwards. This bumped the amount spent per person.

Great venue, friendly staff, we were lucky to get in on a sunday.

First tasting menu and it was awesome. Chef Ronnie excelled himself and the accompanying wines were excellent. Can’t wait for the next one in a months time

Great experience at the first tasting menu evening. Delicious food, great value for money and superb service. Congratulations to all at the Fox and Hounds for putting on a great event. Looking forward to the next one

What an awesome little pub in the countryside. A group of us visited with a friend who has family there, so we got to experience this absolute gem of a pub. The staff were awesome and friendly, and the food had big portions for the price. My spouse and I shares the haggis pakora and seafood tacos, and they were delicious! The malt of the moment is a great deal for whatever bottle they have open, and when we were there we were given the choice of the next bottle they would open. So just another awesome thing the staff did that made the experience more special.

We came across this pub by accident whilst looking for another one which we had visited last year but could not find . Our 1st time visiting this lovely pub but we will definitely be back. Gorgeous food very friendly staff, even the owner getting stuck in and a bonus for us dog friendly.

A very unfortunate visit. Booked a table for the restaurant, over a week beforehand, to celebrate mother in law’s 94th birthday. The venue was m in law’s choice. On arrival, we were informed the restaurant was not in use due there being a funeral next day and staff were preparing for it. Not really what a 94 year old wants to hear on her birthday! We were shown to a small table some 6 feet from the bar where a group of locals gathered to exchange stories etc. No problem with that, except paying restaurant prices for a bar meal. I can go to a Brewers Fayre to do that and pay much less. Although a member of staff indicated he could “throw an extra table up” in the restaurant, we decided enough was enough and went elsewhere. Maybe Fox and Hounds could have informed us beforehand, who knows? But a disappointing start to celebrate a 94th birthday. Can’t say we would entertain a visit there again

We organised a baby shower here on the 27th July and hired out the small area upstairs. The staff were so attentive and were great before the day for organising and also super helpful on the day. The buffet food was great and they even cut our cake for us and packaged everything away for us to leave. Would definitely use this venue again for future events! Thank you x

Very Inviting and cosy atmosphere , great food and very attentive staff 👍🏻

Long standing pub restaurant. Traditional bar with real fireplace.Ample parking and child,dog friendly.Popular with locals

Fantastic surroundings Excellent staff, Food is delicious and great menu to choose from This is a great pub in a lovely village

Excellent food and great service in lovely surroundings. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Comfortable bar with good selection of drinks.

This is our 3rd visit to The Fox and Hounds. We had breakfast here a few weeks ago which was fabulous, we also had a late lunch in the beer garden which again was great. Today we came in for a celebratory dinner. We had slow cooked Beef Bourguignon, Chicken Ceasar Salad and Chicken and Chorizo Kebabs. All 3 dinners arrived fairly quickly and were very tasty. Would definitely recommend it. And a big bonus is that it is dog friendly, but I would recommend booking and advising them if you have a dog as there is seperate seating in the bar area.

My family booked a table here for my retirement. Service was terrible. We had to keep going to the bar to order each course. no children's menu! Red wine was £9.70 a glass. a pint of beer was £7.00. My 4 year old grandson had one scoop of ice cream which cost £4.80. Our total bill was £120. We were so disappointed ! Food was sub standard. i would definately not recommrnd!

I think I’ve just eaten the most delicious salad I’ve ever had, a feast for all the senses! Added a portion of fat chips ( well you have to don’t you?) enormous portions, lovely beer and a great service. Fox and Hounds is a gem of a pub.

Waited approximately 30 minutes for starters, then a few minutes into our starters they brought our main courses out, all of which were not enjoyable, particularly the 'fishcakes' for 9 pounds, which turned out to be 1 measly individual fishcake. The place was so cold we didn't take our jackets off, asked them to turn the heating on which they did for all of 10 minutes. Food below average terrible organisation. Only positive I can leave is that the staff were nice and friendly.

Our daughter lives in Houston and this place is not to far from her house . It looks outside and inside like a proper village pub . The decor is nice and the staff were friendly . there is a good sized car park and a beer garden out the back . We had lunch and I can recommend the steak and sausage pie . The gravy was especially good . Overall we had a nice time and I will be back and will make sure I’m not the designated driver and can sample their choice of beers .

Visited the Fox & Hounds on succesive nights for drinks and dinner and couldn't fault it. High quality, attentive staff, serving excellent food with real and craft ales to match. And Haggis Pakora! Who knew? Delicious!

Wedding at the Fox and Hounds was outstanding I have only positive things to say. Lauren organised everything,staff were so good superb ,food excellent (portions large) and the atmosphere good.Family and guests were delighted with this venue. Would definitely recommend Fox and Hounds. (Mother of the bride)

Made me resign from my job or forced to work xmas day on my sons 1st Christmas. My son won. Out of a job 2 weeks before Xmas.

Excellent pub meals and staff helpful.

Great cocktails, excellent service, recommend the tacos

We had a fantastic meal at Fox & Hounds tonight. Very relaxed and chilled atmosphere service was fantastic every member of staff very attentive and food was delicious and portions very generous. Would highly recommend. We are looking forward to the Fox & Hounds hosting our wedding in a couple of weeks and could not be happier with the service provided throughout. Thank you !

Atmosphere was lovely. Good priced drinks and dog friendly. Food however unfortunately let it down. We had vegetable madras with nan which was burnt and vegetable kebabs. The veg was cooked lovely but plain boiled rice and no seasoning on the veg kebab for £15 is a rip off. Disappointing to be honest and could have had a nicer meal elsewhere I'm afraid. Would come back for a drink but advise food elsewhere especially if vegetarian or vegan.

Nice lunch and a great selection on the menu to please everyone 😋

Really nice decor and menu. Service was almost non existent in the restaurant area. Food took a while (40 mins) to come out which I understand if it’s busy, but there were only 2 other tables (also long waits/service issues) Food was pretty decent so I have no complaints there. After plates were taken from mains, no staff were to be seen ie ‘would you like coffee/desserts/bills etc’ When a member of staff finally appeared and we asked for the bill, we were told ‘I’m on my break the now’ before getting the tab, and proceeded to have their meal in the restaurant. Not an issue with staff having a break, but when you’ve waited ages for any staff to appear and you ask for the bill that’s not a good answer or look. Waited a further 15-20 minutes before I had to go get the staff in the front bar to send someone in so we could pay our bill. A little bit of attentiveness in the restaurant would go a long way.

Had breakfast here a few weeks ago and the morning rolls didn’t seem very morning Tried again today. We were the only guests but if anything gotten worse. The bacon was very fatty and non digestible , the rolls were doughy like the long life ones you get in Aldi. And the toast with the small breakfast was one wee tiny bit. Coffee lovely. Staff lovely.

We visit here often. Great service and excellent lunch. The food was very tasty and the ladies both had what they called one of the best Caesar Salads. I would recommend the beef bourguignon. Always nice when the owner and staff asks how you food was, shows they care about there customers. Be back soon

Very poor service, waited over an hour for our main course, did not order a first course steak and veg look warm, one order had to be sent back as cold, would not recommend this place for food.

They never had a lot of things on their menu. We never got our food for an hour after we ordered it. My parents liked thier food. My dish of smoked haddock with mashed potatoes and a sauce had far too much sauce and was more like a soup! I couldn't see any mashed as it disappeared into the sauce. To be fair to them I didn't complain about it as I was very hungry and it took 1 hour to get the food in the first place. The white wine was very nice. We never ordered dessert as they ran out of vanilla ice cream. They were nice enough not to charge for a dessert my son ordered for different ice cream flavours. We would have spent more but most of us didn't get dessert

We love the Fox and like the new coffee range that was on last week. The only criticism is the rolls have changed to the soft doughy type that you might have with soup as opposed to the Morton’s type crispy that are preferable to us. Or maybe give a choice. And I asked for fried tomato and it came cold sliced on the side as opposed to coming roasted on the vine which I’m sure was previously available. Other than that a super place for breakfast. We shall be back after our holidays.

My wife had been on holiday, and I was left to feed the kids, so before going to the airport, thought I would treat them to a meal out. It was pretty much on a whim, and with the Scotland v England rugby match on tv, almost everywhere we tried was packed. We were just about to give up and make do with a Burger King, but we had one more try at the Fox and Hounds. Thankfully they were able to accommodate us, and we were able to get a excellent meal. Fantastic value for children's menu, and very generous portions. Loved the rustic country pub settings, and while a little out of the way, very much worth going out of your way to visit for a great meal.

The Fox has been my local for many years, but today was the first time I'd had afternoon tea. I've had a fair number of afternoon teas before but I'd say this one was probably the best. The tray came with 4 types of sandwiches. All lovely fresh bread & a generous amount of filling. We each had a large scone, served with generous portions of butter, jam & cream. We also had 4 cakes each, again fresh & absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, helpful & attentive As far as afternoon teas go, this will take some beating - 10/10

Great meal good portion size and decent price well

Warm, cosy complete with log fire 🔥. The atmosphere was chilled and relaxing. The food was amazing ,desserts what a choice . I will be back as I need to try them all. Staff friendly and attentive. Lauren and the young man went out of their way to make sure we had a lovely time. We will be back. Thank you

Lovely place for either a drink or food or both.. so nice seeing people coming in with their dogs such a lovely family atmosphere.. will be back again x

Only there for a 2 drinks after many years away. Found it very tired and in need of some tlc. Also got hard stares from regulars, which made us feel quite unwelcome. Don't know if I'd rush back. That said, the bar staff were welcoming and helpful.

Fantastic New Year's Day meal for a party of 18. Quality fresh food and great service.

Gave this places a go a few times food has little to no taste to it just looks like a big pile of cheap frozen ingredients tossed on a plate service is very slow from front of house service was non existent. The amount of dog hairs is really bad my son dropped something and when I picked it up was completely covered in hair wouldn't use again.

A great local pub with friendly staff, cracking food (new menu dropping this week!) And a tremendous whisky selection with a very knowledgeable man called Conner who can guide you through them all.

Absolutely fantastic atmosphere. Friendly staff. Tried many food options of vegetarian option. All did not disappoint. Dog friendly and the staff are very welcoming.

We booked the Hunter bar (upstairs) for my daughter’s 21st party. The area’s had a recent refurb to make a dance floor zone and as the first people trying it out I can thoroughly recommend it as a venue to have a party. The staff were, as always, excellent hosts, and the music the DJ played had folk up dancing all night. I’d definitely recommend hiring the Fox for a function- Lauren and her team will make site you’re well looked after.

Lovely pub to visit when in Scotland.

Went here for a meal with some friends, the staff were great, but the food not so great, taste was very bland, presentation was awful, its not restaurant quality, more of a pub grub..

Lovely food and service. Lovely local people to chat to. Only downside, we knew we were eating in the lounge area as we have a Cocker Spaniel but our table for 3 was very small!

We stopped in for dinner after trying to find somewhere that was dog friendly & also looked nice. Fox & Hounds was fantastic! Lovely local, cosy pub feel with excellent food & lovely service plus dog friendly 🙌🏼🙌🏼 If you are in the area, definitely stop in.

Un posto veramente accogliente. Cameriere bellissime e molto simpatiche. Da provare assolutamente 💖

Had a delicious lunch at The Fox & Hounds today. New menu looked lovely and nice to see the changes. The food was hot and delicious and service tip top. Staff pleasant and friendly. We will be back soon. Cannot recommend enough. Caroline & Andy

Service was excellent and the food was lovely.

The ramen starter was delicious and very filling. There was a large breast of chicken in the middle of the bowl. The noodles and vegetables were cooked to perfection. The fruit crumble and custard was delicious too. Can't wait to go back.

Food was excellent and reasonably priced and bar staff and waitresses were great. Will be going back. They have a bar upstairs as well and DJ was good.

Good quality food at reasonable prices.

Very friendly pub/diner, pricey but good.. Dog was also welcome..

Only one small area for food open. It has 3 different areas and none if them open. All tables in the lounge were occupied by 1/2 people. We were told they were full so therefore we left and went to River Inn.

We visited the Fox & Hounds for a Friday night dinner with friends. The menu has changed significantly since a previous visit a couple of years ago and now seems focussed on quality BBQ cooking. I had the opportunity to speak to the chef before we ordered - very friendly and approachable - and asked his advice regarding choosing a steak. Accepting his recommendation of the T-bone cooked medium rare, I was delighted with it - fabulously rich flavour and you could have cut it with a butter knife. I've had marginally better on visits to the USA but, never as good as this in the UK. My wife chose a swordfish steak and was equally delighted with what she received. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, especially helping with choosing wines that succeeded in complementing our food choices. We'll be back.

Excellent food and service. Been twice now and both times we couldn't fault the food, service, or atmosphere. Caleb, in the restaurant today, gave excellent service. Very attentive to our needs.

Food was terrible. Chicken burger chicken was dry (I didn't take the cheese due to an allergy) and was in a supermarket type roll - £15.95! Other meals weren't much better. Such a shame because it used to be amazing in the Fox. Needs to up its game if it's to compete with the Houston and River Inns. You can't survive on your name alone. Hopefully it was just an off day though

Family lunch - pretty standard stuff with the usual pub menu. All were well received bar some minor points - prawn salads were small (not the prawns, the quantity). The Caesar salad not having any parmesan or other hard cheese. Nachos went down very well, although adding £4.75 for bacon and haggis extra's, it was not worth the uplift. The cheeseboard was basic and served without indication from staff what cheese was on offer - although it was served with a nice port. No carbonated drinks available (on the day) with the associated markup at £2.70 a can. It all felt just a little marked up for the quality on offer.

Really Disappointed with my lunch today. Ordered a £15.95 chicken burger. When it arrived it was a grilled dried piece of chicken in a roll you'd get from a supermarket with some fries thrown on. I left three quarters of it. I elected not to get the cheese on it due to an allergy but it was really tasteless. I did think for that price is was really basic too. A wee side salad would've been good. We asked for the dessert menu. After 20 mins we had to go up and ask the staff if we could order. We did only end up ordering coffees. Had lost the notion for a dessert. Last time we were in the Fox it was so nice. Maybe they were just really busy with the outdoor BBQ and booked out function room and I totally get that but given the competition from the Houston Inn and River Inn they need to up their game food wise. Must add to this review though that the staff were all lovely and a credit to the Fox

It was my first time there staff was very friendly would go back there again

5 of us in for lunch/BBQ. Superb food, we all had something different to eat. Attentive staff, food was to perfection. Overall Superb.

Very disappointed waiting 45 mins for afternoon tea to be served had to ask for the actual tea and Prosecco!! I had been given a voucher for afternoon tea for two but was taking my other daughter as well so I was expecting to pay for her but not £16 for a few sandwiches and cake’s that had been halved in two?? When I went to pay the bill I was being charged £12 for the 3 glasses of Prosecco?? This was however taken off !! The service was not a good as I would have expected staff not very friendly

Not the cheapest place for a drink ,good pint though 🤔

Well over priced pub grub which was very average.

Family evening meal, good sized portions, beautifully presented. Adam, our server, couldn't have been more helpful. We haven't been there for a long time, but this visit was warm and welcoming. Keep up the excellent work!

Visited here whilst working in the area and absolutely blew me away !!! Quaint country pub with great ambiance and decor. The staff were courteous and professional and nothing was to much trouble ! All I wanted was good old fashioned pub grub and I got exactly that !! The steak pie was full to the brim of steak and the chips were homemade ! The cheese board was plentiful and came with a glass of port !!! Keep up the great work !! You deserve every success

Food was lovely,nice and relaxing,staff really attentive....bonus of being able to bring the dog. Will be back

Purchased an Itison voucher for Afternoon Tea here. The sandwiches and cakes were delicious, very nicely presented, and we were given a doggy bag home with the cakes we didn't eat. Staff very attentive and friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Such a relaxing place for our afternoon tea.

Popped in for lunch, great food and great service

Excellent breakfast. Even though we were a bit early, the were friendly and attentive. Very enjoyable.

Very friendly staff, great selection of beers and excellent home made food. Best steak pie in a long time! Very dog friendly too.

Delicious food, really great service. The Fox and Hounds at its very best.

Fantastic place, the meals were amazing and massive portions. Would definitely recommend

Great food and friendly staff. A new menu has really changed this place for the better. The breakfast buffet is worth a mention too. If you go, grab a pint of Disco Forklift Truck... it's outstanding!

We often come here for food and drink. Great atmosphere. Shame they got rid of the old non alcoholic beer on draft - the new one isn't nice! But good that they have it and other non alcoholic options. Food is good too.

The Fox and Hounds have recently opened a breakfast buffet, so we paid it a visit and wasn't disappointed. The staff were friendly and helpful. The place was clean and welcoming. There is a good choice of hot food and a selection of fruits. Teas and coffee, fruit juices. You can have the choice of a small plate or a big plate, and with the big plate, you can go back for more if you need it. The atmosphere was good, and for a long while, we were the only people there. My only concern was with the plates, and I think it would be nice to have a plate warmer in place. Its well worth a visit if you are in the srea.. The breakfast was very good.

Really chilled, nice staff. Cosy wee place for a pint.

Went to celebrate a birthday and thought it was a good venue. Good selection of gins, whiskeys and beer on tap. Would recommend

It's been a while since I last visited, as I no longer stay local. The reason for our for being there was to remember and celebrate a great friend who suddenly passed away. Although a sombre meeting, all friends and family made it as celebratory as possible. Food was lovely, and staff were excellent. All areas were spotless. If ever in the area again would definitely visit.

We have just visited the Fox & Hounds for an amazing afternoon tea. The staff were very welcoming on our arrival and very accommodating when I told them of our dietary requirements. The afternoon tea arrived and had a lovely selection of delicious sandwiches along...

Went into lounge. Pretty janky. Walls covered with bare lining paper. Looks like a squat. Most beers come in at around a fiver, including cans.

Went on a cold Sunday afternoon. The place was freezing. It was warmer outside. Transpired they did not have the heating on and only put it on when we said about the temp. In the restaurant. People were sitting with jackets and wooly hats.

Food and drink was good but service not so good. Was going to order a sweet but empty mains plate sat on our table for 20+ mins and no sign staff coming to our table (too busy talking to customers sitting at the bar) so we got up, paid our bill and left. Get service right and it's a great pub for beer and food

Very disappointing Christmas meal. Seated upstairs in a drafty cold corner with no festive ambience. Table setting had no glasses or dessert cutlery. Had to ask for wine list. Soup was cold and a mix up with another starter. No Brussels sprouts with turkey dinner! Asked if we wanted tea or coffee (not included) not even a mince pie! Very poor considering the cost!

Great staff, great atmosphere, great pub 🍻🙂

Popped in for Sunday roast we had the 3 course deal best I've had in a while anywhere,roast beef and ham was brilliant,fairly priced with pleasant staff will definitely be back soon A++++++
