Houghwood Restaurant

Just been for a family celebration here. The attentiveness of the staff and the food was fabulous.

Unfortunately post covid its no longer the place it used to be. High prices (118 for three people) combined with a 90 minute wait for food doesnt make for a winning combination. Been a regular for over 20 years. Thatll be our final visit.

I booked a table via OpenTable after reading some excellent reviews. We looked forward to our first visit here and were welcomed by the friendly staff. The starters we ordered were delicious but sadly the main course (rump steak and vegan burger) were not all that great. I think the best way to describe the burger and vegetables is 'bland' and tasteless, with a plain white burger bun that you'd get from the local super market. All in all we've have better for alot cheaper. 3 stars because the staff and atmosphere was pleasant and perhaps we just ordered the wrong thing as the meals other diners had seemed nice.

My family decided to hold my Grandmothers wake at Houghwood as we have patronised the venue over the years for many family functions. Whilst I accept that COVID has placed an enormous and onerous burden on the restaurant sector and many establishments have struggled financially in recent times, I cannot accept what was served to my family and our guests yesterday. For 17 per person we were treated to a pasta dish that was so over cooked I needed a straw to eat it and a chicken curry that was bland, watery and accompanied by insipid rice and damp naan bread. I will repeat the price tag per head of 17 because it is simply unbelievable that what we ate (or couldnt due to its quality) amounted to anything more that a couple of quid each. This establishment has deteriorated dramatically since I last visited and no chef worth their salt would have served up the slop we received yesterday. This is a scathing review and I will not apologise for it especially as we were marking the passing of my Grandmother and family matriarch. An embarrassment to the sector and somewhere to avoid AT ALL COSTS
