"We decided to try the Pleuchie Howff for an evening meal when looking for somewhere to eat when out all day at the local gala. Long day and couldn't be bothered to cook kinda thing. The decor inside is very nice and the staff extremely pleasant. There is a very good choice on the menu and it did take a little time for us to decide what to go for. I opted for the spare ribs to start, my wife ordered the garlic mushrooms in a crispy batter and my daughters ordered the Nachos between them. The size of my starter was equivalent to what I would expect for a main course. It was huge and my wife's and daughters portions were also very large. The service was quick, although it wasn't terrifically busy, but we were eating quite early. The main courses again were a decent size and loved the home cooked beef chips. Very chunky but so soft inside. My steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) but it did have a little too much fat, but it didn't spoil my meal and it was tasty. My wife and youngest daughter had fish and chips and it was a good size fish. Eldest daughter had chicken stuffed with haggis and again was a really good portion. We couldn't finish the main course. The prices are reasonable and all in all very good value for money. I would not hesitate to return or recommend to anyone."

Liked the outside beer garden as the weather was great but didn't like the fact that empty glasses were left lying about for ages but the staff were friendly enough

We visited on a quiet Monday and decided to let the chef choose our meal. It was a delightful experience! We were presented with a delicious selection of specially prepared dishes, cooked to perfection. Paired with some excellent draft beers, our meal was not only delicious but also reasonably priced. We were very grateful for the wonderful service. View menu

We stayed here for the night and received a lovely welcome. Breakfast was delicious, and Heather was a star. Staffing problems meant she was left on her own which could have been chaos but by keeping us informed and her friendly efficient service made all the difference. Would perhaps not have given such a good rating had all the stops not been put out in which was obviously a difficult situation.

Absolutely amazing night! Heather and her family couldn't have done more to help. The buffet was the best I have seen with fresh salmon, cold cuts, chicken salad, olives, a variety of sandwich joints, samosas, cheese sauces, whatever you want was there. They also cater to food allergies. Great staff, can't fault them, will definitely be back in the future. Thanks again for making my dad's party easy.

Bright and modern decor and immediately made to feel welcome gave me confidence. I asked if the fish stew was 'on ' and was pleased to hear it was. Menu stated that all dishes are cooked from scratch with fresh produce and there 's quite a big menu at very reasonable prices, so I was a little skeptical. I 've eaten bouillabaisse many times in France and enjoyed fish stews throughout Europe, and I can state without hesitation that this was the tastiest (spicy with white wine and tomatoes) I 've ever had. I 'll certainly be back next time for the Shetland mussels. View menu

My family and I wanted a stress-free day. After a bit of research, we reserved a table at Howff Pleuchies, who were offering a 5-course set menu for £35. Before the event, I visited the restaurant to pick up a menu. The owner was very helpful and said that if there was anything we needed (a thicker sauce or smaller portion, for example) to let them know and they would do their best to accommodate. The dinner was at 3:30 on Christmas Day. We were warmly welcomed and taken to our table where we enjoyed a glass of mulled wine. I found the soup course to be perfect, but each subsequent dish quickly became my new favorite. The food was fabulous. The service was attentive and professional. The own...

Visited here last night for a meal with some family. The decor was lovely and relaxing and the staff were very attentive and friendly. A box of toys kept our 4 year old daughter entertained too!! Well what can we say about the food????? A-maz-ing!! Our starters ranged from garlic mushrooms, mozzarella kickers, cajun skewers and spicy chicken wings. Everyone was impressed by both the taste and portion size. Really gorgeous tasting food. On to the main courses........ a definate recomendation for the 'Louisiana lunchbox ' what a portion!! It was massive! Everyone elses meals ranged from kids scampi chips, macaroni cheese, fish and chips, surf and turf and a gorgeous burger with bbq pork on top...

"Myself and my partner where just outside of portpatrick yesterday and wondered about somewhere to have lunch, it was about 12.30pm on a scorching hot Bank holiday Sunday. We hadn’t actually planned to go there to start with but thought why not. I saw on Facebook Connors Restaurant had just uploaded a Facebook post about stopping there for a choice of 2 lovely menus and a cheeky gin, sounded perfect! The post had went up about 15 mins before we arrived, so I assumed they must be looking to take some tables. I walked down and there where 2 tables taken outside, and 1 table inside. I asked if I could get a table for 2 outside if possible and I was told no they had been reserved and I thought okay but before I could even open my mouth again she said all tables inside where also reserved that they where fully booked. There was 1 table inside, other wise it was pretty empty. Ok no problem, we found somewhere else so no big deal, after about 2 hours spent having food and wondering around we went back to the car (parked just up from Connors restaurant) and I noticed again there was only the 1 table outside, and no one at the others. I’m maybe wrong but I felt like this was odd, the inside didn’t look like it was “fully booked” either. It actually looked a little dead compared to everywhere else. This has also happened to my friends a couple of times too they’ve went in and the place has been stone dead but got turned away because of the excuse of being fully booked. Just felt like it was not quite right. Sorry I never usually write reviews but felt like I had to get my point across on this one. We would love to dine here and hopefully will in the future."
