The Corran Inn - Table reservation

Can I tell you things have changed? What you used to know about this little place tucked away from the throng is wrong. All Change for the Houston Inn! New folks behind the bar and a new guy in the kitchen. Gone is the bad attempt to be an Indian in a traditional pub. But these folks did not go back to the regular pub. Nope, they took a whole new approach to Pub Food. I tried the Mega Burger, expecting the standard disappointment. Every burger I have tried in Scotland is a tragic representation of this North American Staple. It came out in decent time. Towered up like most of the burgers you get these days. I disassembled it and removed the skewers and onion rings and such. One criticism . S...

I found myself looking for a new local after the Fox and Hounds was sold. The Fox is a traditional pub 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 so...

The Houston Inn was recently refurbished to within an inch of it's life and I have to say I am not a 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...

Great little country pub, beautiful decor inside and out. Conservatory dining area is really impressive and a really nice beer garden has been added for that rare bit of sunshine. This pub has changed owners 3 or so times in the last 20 years but has managed to maintain a friendly atmosphere with the same patrons. I will always keep coming back to this pub as my local, all my family and long term friends have drank here over the years its nice to know some things can change but elements of the past remain. Well done to whomever owns and operates this now i enjoy your place allot.
